    Indeed, and vice versa, the monster minis you have from your RPG games can be used as creature encounters in Frostgrave! :)

    Why not take an exacto-knife and use the tip to dig tiny holes into the cloth? You have to be very careful though, I haven't tried it because I don't have any models yet.

    For the man with the shield, it's a shame, we don't see precisely which elements of the boxes that must be used to mount it! Which arm for the sword and which arm for the shield? The video unfolds too quickly, you can't see well, and when you stop it the image becomes blurry. The figures are not turned gently in all directions to observe the assembly details. Otherwise really nice what you produced as characters!

    Cheers for the ideas. Fortunately I already have Gripping Beasts Viking Hirdmen for other games, so don't have to worry about chain. The staff looks really nice, especially as it has the two metal looking pieces on either end, and I really like your sword over the shield guy.

    +kiblams While I would normally say "yeah, just got to the gripping beast website, they have three plastic box sets (viking hirdmen, saxon theigns, dark age warriors)," as Warlord Games also carries all three, but has free shipping right now, I would actually recommend them at the moment. us-store.warlordgames.com/collections/dark-ages/products/dark-ages-viking-hirdmen-plastic-boxed-set

    Ive been using various Reaper Mini's for our warbands. If We had to do it over the soldiers box would be perfect. At first I didn't even realize that there were official mini's for Frostgrave. Good stuff, great conversions.

    nice, I like the colours used with more purple on the wizard and apprentice and it looked like you went for a smaller piece of purple for the soldiers.

  • @kiblams

    @kiblams

    The soldiers are mainly blue and grey, and the magic users are purple. I figured wizards don't care about camo and can afford more extravagant clothing

    +kiblams On a closer look it's only a couple soldiers with purple, a glove or hood bits like that. I thought it might work to have a small bit of the wizards main colour so you know which warband they are from. Though you might want to share the soldiers between your own warbands and with friends playing so maybe not the best idea.

    Cool, so all soldiers are the same in terms of stats correct? Like 2hand vs 1hand damage stats still the same? I am planning to pick up this kit. I've never played a miniatures wargame so I'm trying to figure everything out. Thanks!

  • @SPACENOMADMALEV

    Nah, the equipment the Soldiers carry can augment their stats. Additionally, different soldiers come with different stat lines, and you pay for them accordingly. Unskilled soldiers are cheap, while skilled soldiers are not. It's pretty straight forward in the end when, but still manages to be detailed.

    this has no info on how to " make the most " out of your box. You just went over the models almost exactly like you did in the unpainted video.
