My biggest project of late has been working on getting together and putting together my stuff for Frostgrave. I have been slowly getting into this game for over a year... I finally decided to bite the bullet and go all in for resources, but not figures. I have that tendency to go crazy buying stuff and then everything sits in a closet forever until the next shiny thing comes along....
Well... I opted to buy the source material and only figures I know I would use... I do not need to own everything....
Originally I picked up one pack... my Enchanter and his apprentice and the Captains blister... I had originally intended on using models I already owned. That didn't last too long. I stepped back and tried to minimize my purchases to figures I really liked and wanted for my war band. I made a few more purchases and added in a few older figures and even a newer Reaper Bones figure to be used as a thief.
I picked up pretty much all of the source material and as expected, it was all a very good read. I selectively gathered more miniatures...
I eventually settled on how I would build my war band. I did make, in my opinion, one "not-needed" purchase and that was for the undead box.... I saw them in person and really liked them... also, they could be used for the Lich Lord campaign. I did pick up the Frostgrave Soldiers box set as I needed some basic models to be thugs and lower war band members... I have to be very honest.. I think the plastic box set can be used to make all of the henchmen types listed in the original rules.
My purchase of the lead figures was only because I liked them and wanted to paint them. I did this before I actually had a chance to dive into the plastic kit. In the end, I knew I would have a lot of extra figures to potentially make more war bands... I opted to build them and give them as a "pre-constructed" war band to one of my friends and also offered other figures to other friends.. all of which I will be building and painting for them. I have no intentions on collecting a huge mass of figures for this game.
As I have mentioned, I have been fairly busy... life does that. My pictures above are not in the correct order either.... but this one says it all....
These will be the first ones I get done.... My Enchanter and his apprentice, my large construct (I did buy the others just to have.. in case), a Templar and Captain (not a Frostgrave figure), The Reaper Bones Thief and the Frostgrave Thief (I will decide which I like better when they are painted) and the Frostgrave Assassin.... I plan to get her sooner or later. The rest of the war band will be filled out when I create them with the Frostgrave Soldiers box set.... I will post when I get them all together to paint.
I will also be working on a second war band for a friend.... The Elementalist and apprentice II and the Brigade Games all women war band for my daughter at the same time....
I will post more when I get this rolling. With a week left before HMGS Fall IN! 2017.. I will be fairly busy, but you can bet I will be taking this stuff with me to work on when and if I get down time at the show!!!!
