UVS Frostgrave - Barrels 12/10/2024

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Thanks.
I also have the Kings of War Northern Clans (busy putting extra fur on a chilly fox), and the Fireforge Northern infantry and archers.

I still have not assembled any of the Wizards.

* for a given value of extensive.


Two pieces from the Renedra Ruins sprue C, with a corner piece cut out to make an L shape. The base is by Products for Wargamers and is from their MDF scatter terrain bases.


Rustoleum Rust effect spray for texture.

Handy bit of ruin

 

[Ultravanillasmurf]

So after the first ruin, here is the second.


Another two pieces of Renedra Ruins C cut to make a L shape on a Products For Wargamers MDF base.
Oathmark Human Infantryman sheltering from the freezing wind.


Both ruins.

Bonus: first painted Frostgrave figure!


For some reason I thought building an Oathmark army was a good idea...

So another twenty to build and thirty nine to paint.

Go Team Gnolls!

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Thanks.
Small amount of progress

So another twenty nineteen to build and thirty nine to paint.

Plus there is a missing sprue, so there might be five others somewhere.

Gnoll with Two Handed Sword

So another twenty nineteen to build and thirty nine eight to paint.

The Ruined Arch is from Renedra but is too long to fit on a Renedra oval base, so the end of the wall was cut off and placed at 90 degrees.

This was bought a long time ago (possibly from Bad Squiddo at Warfare, or direct from Heresey at Salute).


More by luck than judgement I based it on a 50mm round base, so it will be doing double duty as a "troll" in my Gnoll Army for Oathmark.


The Man at Arms thinks he is not being paid enough for this.

[Grumpy Gnome]

Awww, it’s the adorable... er I mean abominable snowman. Nice one!

[Ultravanillasmurf]

With an Illusionist led war band, one of the spells is the Illusionary Soldier.

As it needs to be as well protected as it can (it is dispelled by taking any damage), a Knight seemed a good idea.


Built from one of the bodies from the Soldier II sprue, with the Sallet head from the Knights sprue, the Oathmark Human Champion/Officer sword arm and an Oathmark Human shield arm.

I like this one for multiple reasons:

It is a great combination demonstrating what can be done by combining the Northstar kits.

The helmet gives it an "anonymous" vibe which fits very well when considering what the spell does.

I also like the subdued fantasy-vibe. This one could be used even in Westeros.

Couldnt said it better!

I love your conversion for the illusionary soldier, it looks great!
And whatever his wage, the man-at-arm is definitely not paid enough to deal with a snow troll... ^^

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Thanks.

I have to admit that GOT is my primary inspiration for Oathmark (though I have just started reading The Last Wish and must revisit the series, and The Outpost is silly fun) and I am building the Frostgrave and Oathmark figures to have a degree of interchangeability.

The tall body from Soldiers II is very useful, it is also going to be a Command figure with the Sceptre of Command (The Pure version). I just need to add a suitable head.

The Pure will be a "mercenary" type unit using the Fireforge Byzantine Spearmen. They fight for the side with the matched Sceptre of Command - if the sceptre holder is killed by a character figure, it is possible the sceptre can be picked up and The Pure will follow their new Commander.
