Well I'm looking forward to this - just waiting for it to appear on iBooks!!

I think that Cthulhu can provide a lot of inspiration for the monstrosity!

For fire flingers, I picked up a box of these a couple of months back for £1. Soft plastic, but they paint up really nicely.


What size are these miniatures? You can do photo?

This book is really well done by the way! I like that the mini-campaign is intended for new warbands that might be behind others, seems very useful for catching up!

And then there are the awesome new potions! Very flavorful (pun intended)!

The only issue with the mini campaign is in scenario 2. A well built wizard can farm it for endless skeletons. I would put a 10 turn limit on it(at most) and any figures that don't make it off the board roll on the injury chart having nearly been overwhelmed by skeletons. Otherwise it's nearly perfect. And it's lots of fun solo. I really want to see how it plays co-op.

I did a story like battle report and commentary for the campaign in my Frostgravery thread if anyone wants to check it out.

Out of curiosity, how do these toy line scale up with 28mm(ish) minis? I kinda like the look of those things and I could imagine them roaming around Frostgrave :)

What's the ETA on a print release? Spring this year ...or Spring next year? I'm considering buying all the rules to date in .pdf format (including the magazines), but if there's a print copy coming out soon I'd wait.

Also woo, Forgotten Paths. An excuse to make more Daedra models to go along with my Elder Scrolls stuff. :D

IIRC Spring next year... there a few other "online" supplements not yet released that are going to be part of the compendium.

I'm guessing there will be at least 3 more small online supplements before they are compiled next spring.

Given to very affordable pricing of these rules, in general, I have no issue at all buying them twice.

Who knows, maybe Osprey will offer some sort of deal if you got all the pdfs from them.

They're about 35mm scale, so about a head taller than man-sized. They look great as medium constructs, and at 3p per figure I'm certainly not complaining.
