Imma be honest. I have ignored every person that has told me that I should try out Frostgrave. Until @PeachyTips posted about it and suddenly everything changed...
You can check out his vid here! • Finally….the BEST warg...
I started thinking about who I wanted in my gang, what their backstory would be and I turned once again to @eldritchfoundry1475 to help me design my models. Their endless options got me writing a story as I scrolled through their designs, until I ended up with this epic wizard apprentice! They offer a 3D printing service if you don't have access to a 3d printer, or you can print your own, meaning you'll always have updated and customised models for your agnostic games and campaigns!
Here's their website!

Great another video taking me deeper down the rabbit hole of making wizards and apprentices on the site. Also making an octopus headed leader for ghost archipelago, ooooh maybe a voodoo masked witch doctor leader using his tribe to find the fountain. My brain is on fire. Still waiting for Peachy Tales
That Peachy is insidious, he made me want to try Frostgrave too! his wiles are many.

Well, I'm glad more people are getting into Frostgrave. It is one of the best tabletop wargames. I've been playing anything Joe puts out for the last 7 years.

Love that it has that kind of longevity
Frostgrave is so good. You build a warband in no time. You paint a warband with ease. You play a game with no hassle. You build some more, repeat... until you plan a completely new warband. And then there's the terrain... It falls in the "so fun it's embarassing" range of games.

I got addicted to these games… frostgrave/Stargrave about a year ago. My new favorite by the same author is Silver Bayonet- Napoleonic Horror! Pretty much can’t beat that!

Cool concept. I have used a similar program before for Pathfinder/Starfinder minis before and its always fun trying to get the thought concept into action. Last year friends and I made representations of our LARP characters at the end of a long campaign to commerate.

I blame Peachy's video too, I've kinda got complacent with how GW's minis look that simpler looking minis seem very meh to me, but after watching his video and painting up mini that's more simple I'm now chomping at the bit to get more Great video as always Andy

Eldritch foundry seems to have a very nice payment solution. Being able to buy the file for $5 is very nice, and the $15 to make as many models you want for a month is also pretty nice. Makes it possible to design a whole frostgrave warband in the same style there.
@MediocreHobbies

Yeah you can definitely make a whole warband super quickly and tell a story really well as the same time with their designs! Glad you like the company too!
Loving playing about on Eldritch Foundry, endless choices! Not ordered anything yet as don’t own a 3D printer. How does the scale compare to 40k? Has anyone reduced the scale to fit and if so by how much? Hoping if I get the file will be able to find someone local to print it for me.

There on to you.
Welcome to Frostgrave! You are really going to want to take an apprentice or in a few of the books they have expert level soldiers called captains or Wardens. These take the place of your apprentice and are like expert fighters. Personally I think you should just make an apprentice that you could say happens to be another low lv wizard working with your wizard. Maybe lost their master or something. Your warband will feel the disadvantage of not have the extra fire power of having a second spellcaster. Also get a tacklebox for all of your bits. If you buy one Soldier box for Frostgrave you are set for your warband and you have options for a second. or upgrades. I've been collecting for like 20 years and all of my bits fit into like 2 tackleboxes if you just cut them off the sprue. Regardless have fun!
@MediocreHobbies

Great tip. Cheers.
I played Frostgrave when it came out and really couldn't get on with it, whereas Rangers of Shadow Deep, I really like. Which is weird because they are fundamentally the same mechanics. I think, for me, the randomness of the D20 works better as a balancing mechanic in solo play than in PvP. Having said all this, the insidious Peach also made me start thinking about Frostgrave again. Clearly an enchanter.
