Almost ready to play!
Definitely needed a wider angled lens but hey ho, just have to be more selective with my shots.
Terrain is now ready and the war band is assembled.

Miniatures are a mixture of Reaper, 3d printed and a couple of “tweaked” minis from the Frostgrave Wizards II box and a couple of Oathmark Elves Light Infantry.
It is one of the things that I like about Frostgrave is that it is miniature agnostic and you can use whatever minis you want. I’ve even seen people playing with Lego minifigs, for example.
There aren’t any elves in Frostgrave but that doesn’t stop me from using elf miniatures. The “Official” miniatures for the game by North Star Military figures are great value as, for example in the Wizards II box, you get eight bodies and a whole range of heads, arms and extras to customise your minis. North Star is a great site and they make and or stock a great range of games and miniatures.
The Warband
As I’ve already mentioned you can use any miniatures for your warband. I started off with using minis I’d printed from Artisans guild – Sylvan Knights collection. They are gorgeous sculpts but I had some problems. I think they are designed to be printed at 32mm scale which meant they would tower over any 28mm minis I used. I did end up resizing a couple of them and adding them to my warband but another problem I have with 3d printed miniatures is that the often lack the detail of white metal, resin or plastic minis, at least with my printer, and this was exacerbated by rescaling. Don’t get me wrong this is not a problem with the sculpts, they are awesome.
I originally bought the collection to pad out my old Warhammer Wood Elf army and they are perfect for that. Some of them just didn’t “fit” for my warband.


The wizard as you can see is levitating surrounded by spell energy and the archer’s base just seemed a bit out of place for the Frostgrave setting. So, I looked around for some other minis.
The Wizard
Starting with the wizard. Keeping with my elven theme I thought the nature based magic, Witch was a great fit. As I was building the mini, one from the Frostgrave Wizards II box from North Star Military Figures, I had a thought, that I had a load of old Warhammer Dryad/branchwraith heads left over in my bits box. So a little dab of polystyrene cement and Durnimlath Gul was born.

The Apprentice
For the apprentice I continued with a figure from the Frostgrave Wizards II box with a Warhammer 40,000 Dark Eldar/Drukhari head because I love Drukhari.

The Archer
For the Archer, Brikolad, I went for a model from Reaper Miniatures and decided to mix things up a bit with the colour scheme and went for a sort of autumnal feel.

The Knight
Next Naru Magol, Knight. This is one of the Arisan’s guild minis. Too many layers on the face but I’m planning on re-printing the mini and trying to use thinner paint in general.

The Infantrymen
Galenglim Infantryman and Gurth Bor Infantryman both Artisan’s Guild minis. Happier with the paint job on these two.

The Thieves
Daetir Thief and Kirgwaith Thief are both from Reaper where they are called Kalash Dark Elf Assassin and Merryn, Elf Thief. The Daetir mini has been sat in my pile of shame for about 12 years, which is vindication for those of us who find it hard to throw away our old unpainted miniatures. “Its not a pile of shame, its a pile of possibilities!”.

The Thugs
The Thugs, Seregthaur and Mothorm are both from the Oathmark Elf Light Infantry box by North Star Military Figures. The wolf is a sculpt by Gloomykid available from Thingiverse.

Treasure Tokens
And some treasure tokens are useful. These are all 3d printed. The books, potions and scrolls are from a set “FREE FROSTGRAVE TREASURE TOKEN 25MM BASE” by Ultraviolence and the Treasure Chest is by Kimskell

This is a great looking table and a nicely themed band of grogs.
Many thanks!
Nice warband. The Artisan Guild sculpts are so caracterful.
So, is there a module in the 2nd edition of Frostgrave to play it solo? I might be interested in that.
Thank you! Absolutely there is a module/source book that has guidelines for solo and co-op play it is called Perilous Dark and very good it is too!
