Winter is coming.....

In the last post I said I ended the year looking at Frostgrave. After reading the rules and getting excited with Mr2key we are starting on our war bands. I have put Deadzone painting on the back burner for now but they undercoated and ready to be played I promise.

Now I am trying to do this on the cheap so I am trying to find fantasy figures that I may have picked up here and there. I don't usually play fantasy at all really so luckily that charity shop tin I found a while ago has lots of Lord Of The Rings minis and they have come up trumps... I knew I kept them for something.

So here are the first 3 minis I have painted so far and my first painted minis of 2016.




I am still working out what models can fill the gaps in my warband. The cunning eyed would have seen that I have used the the 2015 Salute free mini for my bow man. I was not sure what I was going to get to use him but now seems the perfect opportunity.

I think I am going to have to raid some board games I have to fill the gaps for my thugs and apprentice etc.. I have loads of monsters so this is going to be great excuse to paint them all...

Also I got this in preparation..

Walking around the sales in Debenhams I found this. The best bit it was under £20! I was told after I got this a few Frostgrave players had seen this on offer and snapped this up over Christmas.

Right I am off to see how far I can get with finishing my war band. Hopefully I can get them all painted quickly and get them ready for a good fight.

@theflamingheretic well from what I have seen so far it looks like your war bands going to look awesome.
