Now that that's out of the way, lets get down to business. Frostgrave..... at first I didn't pay much attention to it, but after a friend pointed it out to me and expressed interest in playing, it gave me an excuse to jump on the bandwagon and check it out. Now I haven't played a game yet, but I've been pouring over the rulebook and watching vids on youtube, so I think I have a pretty good grasp on the flow of it.
Starting off, I wanted to get the "official" miniatures, so I ordered a box of soldiers from North Star, put together nice mix of soldiers and started painting. Here's where I'm at so far....
So I got 5 of them done so far. One thief, one thug, one arms-man, one archer, and one crossbow-man. It's pretty rounded for a starting warband and I mainly wanted to get my basic starting troops done. I have until the beginning of January to get the rest of them painted up, and I'm about 50% completed with the wizard and apprentice. All in all, they're fun to paint up. I had to plan my paint schemes a little more than usual just because each miniature has about 3 layers of clothing. I do like the way they turned out.
And what Frostgrave game is complete with nasty NPC's running around?
Just some quick skeletons to add a bit of chaos into the games. These particular skeletons are from Wargames Factory and currently unavailable until Warlord Games starts distributing them. I have a few more I'd like to get painted up before my first game.
Until next time!
