A long gap and Frostgrave!

Yet again, it's kind of been a while since I posted last. As always it takes something new to fire up my imagination and get me painting again. I've been working through a fair few miniatures for IKRPG which has been a lot of fun. We're running an Iron Kingdoms FMF and an Unleashed campaign side by side.

On another note I was interested a while ago when i saw a 'Nickstarter' for Frostgrave which looked like fun but I didn't have the funds to back it at the time. Since then I saw the basic rule book on Book Depository for $28 and thought "Why not?"

I read a fair few reviews and watched a battle report or two and decided to take the plunge. The big selling point was that I had backed Reaper Mini's Bones II kickstarter a while back and had a big box of random mini's that would be perfect for this game. I've been reading through the book and writing up a couple of different wizards.

Once I started looking at a couple of different 'builds' (this game has so many different combinations for your wizard.) I decided to raid the Bones box to see what I could use. I decided to paint up two different pairs of Wizard and Apprentice. One pair is a Necromancer with his little buddy and the other is an Elementalist with his showboating apprentice.


Necromancer is in purple with his apprentice in green. Elementalist is in red with his apprentice in blue.


And once again from the back.


Couldn't resist a zoomed in shot of the necromancer raising a friendly zombie to aid him.

I will probably work on a warband soon (or more likely paint up another wizard and apprentice), and hopefully pick up a game or two, either against the guys from work/ikrpg or pick up a game at one of the wargaming clubs around town.
