Frostgrave Forgotten Pacts Plastic Barbarians Preview
« on: June 19, 2016, 10:13:43 AM »
Nick over at Northstar Miniatures previewed these upcoming plastic barbarians in cold weather gear for the upcoming Frostgrave Forgotten Pacts expansion to be released in November. Looking at the picture I would say these are also sculpted by Bob Naismith Giorgio Bassani. Don't think these have shared here.

Really excited for these. I can see myself going all in on a Nickstarter for the first time.

Should be great for a lot of Game of Thrones projects too.

Very nice. Wildlings for GOT as well as generally nice to see Barbarians in more than a loin cloth. Thanks for sharing

I know right? I never understood why that trope has survived for such a long time.

A loin cloth and thick furry boots, that'll keep out the cold right?

Or anything else. Sure, armour can be pierced too, but it is always better than being... like... naked.

Yeah, I blame Arny.
It's funny thinking about the Conan movie that the trope came from. When they were in the cold conditions they were all wintered up and then he moved into the warmer areas and only wore his loin cloth. The two sides of it seem to have been intertwined.
These guys do look really great. Might need to start up a GoT lot myself. Wildlings and a Giant. Hopefully Northstar will bring out a nicely furred Giant to go with these guys.

A giant like this would be lovely  ;)

But even the "clothed" barbarians in plastic are excellent!
