We came so close to getting to the £40K spend goal. That would have released a free model of a new Templar. I've decided, because we got so close, I'm going to send a free Templar model to every Level 3+ Wizard after all! What we'll do is include a free Crusader Miniatures model of a Knight with a two handed weapon. The model Giorgio is making of the Templar for Frostgrave will be finished, and made available later on.

Thats a really cool extra for them to throw in.

**Strombones**

I can't wait to rub my greasy paws all over this book.

And FFS 4ground! I'm starting to feel like you are stalking my browser to see what games I play and then making terrain for them.

God knows how much money I have already given you for 15mm WW2.

**Pacific**

Agreed, definitely looking forward to whatever they release!

Their 15mm WW2 is brilliant, their 28mm dark age stuff as well, really high quality MDF and you can get a number of buildings finished and ready for a game in an evening.

**MrDwhitey**

Fairly certain 4ground is pure evil at this point.

Pure evil out for my wallet.

**RobertsMinis**

The good thing about this 4ground stuff is it will also be useful for other fantasy games, medieval games like Lion Rampart and I could see myself playing Bolt Action with it as well.

**RobertsMinis**

4ground stuff on pre-order

http://www.4ground.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=109

**Pacific**

It's meant for WW2, but imagine having this thing in the centre of the table?

Bit pricey but very nice!

**RobertsMinis**

Imagine that church covered in snow... Icicles hanging from the roof edge... It is magnificent!

**TheWaspinator**

I see that the Frostgrave book is up for preorder on Amazon. Are the miniatures going to be available there?

**Pacific**

Yes I saw that 20th July release date.

Only place I have seen the minis so far is on the North Star website

http://www.northstarfigures.com/list.php?&man=195&page=1

**RobertsMinis**

Firestorm Games have them for pre-order with a 10% discount.

**TheWaspinator**

I'm kind of hoping for Miniature Market, since I live about 15 minutes from their retail store and therefore don't need to pay shipping.

**Pacific**

Have there been any news items yet concerning how many miniatures (on average) you can expect in a warband, or what the force comp needs to be?

At the moment I'm torn between using some of the Fireforge Games Templars as some kind of 'Holy Order' faction (these guys http://fireforge-games.com/webstore/templar-order/templar-infantry-details) or these 'pigface' orcs from Otherworld miniatures (which I think look awesome but are a bit on the pricey side)

http://otherworldminiatures.co.uk/shop/product-category/pig-faced-orcs/

**RobertsMinis**

From memory, a warband and can only be 10 maximum. Wizard, Apprentice and up to 8 soldiers.

They are pricey but also some of the best minis I have ever bought. I've got those exact Orcs and a hag troll and they are sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

**joe5mc**

Northstar has said the Nickstarters should ship out tomorrow!

**Alpharius**

I wonder how long until those of us who bought it from Brigade over here in the USA will get a shipping notice?

**cerealkiller195**

I forget if its northstar or brigade who said they were going to start shipping on the 7th. Which would make me happy as they are located in jersey (where i am from). So i think either end of this week or early next week the goodies may come in!

**RobertsMinis**

I think the stuff for Brigade is only being sent this week as well. Hopefully mind will turn up on Friday or Saturday otherwise it will be at least Wednesday due to public holidays in Norn Iron next week.

**Pacific**

The pledges are being sent out already?!

Great stuff, didn't expect any of it until the end of the month at the earliest!

**cerealkiller195**

i knew that people that went in on the nickstarter were supposed to get it a week or two earlier than the general release. On the Lead Adventure forums a few people already took pics of the stuff that they got.

**squall018**

I just pre-ordered my copy off Amazon. They have it on there for $13.07 if anyone is interested. And if you have prime you will get it on release day (which they have as July 21st)!

I'm going to be praying for a ruined version of this building. Would look great as a centerpiece for a Mordheim or Frostgrave type game.

North Star Military Figures

23 mins ·
.

Frostgrave is at last ready. The Books and figures are on their way to expectant customers all over the world. It's been a tremendous project, and I'd like to take the opportunity to thank everyone involved, for their commitment to making this a great product.

The first person to thank is of course the author and Osprey Games man Joseph McCullough.

Then thanks to:

Making Frostgrave The Game:

Phil Smith, manager of Osprey Games and editor of Frostgrave.
Richard Sullivan, Osprey Supremo.

Stewart Larking for the rulebook design.
Chris Raine for producing the rulebook.
Steven Meyer-Rassow for the box design.
Zorana Rzanicanin for enthusiasm above and beyond the call of duty.
Martin Spear for getting Tales of the Frozen City sorted out.
Alice Milner for everything digital.
And, especially, Dmitry Burmak, for bringing it all to life.

Making Frostgrave the Miniatures:
There are a group of the miniature designers I work with, the best in their field, who I approached with Frostgrave last July. To my delight, every one of them said ‘yes’ immediately. This meant I had the wonderful problem of having to break up the range into ‘who wanted to do what, who was best at this figure, etc’. They are:
Mike Owen
Mark Sims
Mark Copplestone
Nick Collier
Giorgio Bassani
Richard Kemp
And Bob Naismith for the plastic Frostgrave Soldiers
Plastic Design and Production:
Terry and Joan Ardener, plus the whole Renedra Team.
North Star Military Figures Team:
The following not only put their full efforts into Frostgrave at work, they took it on the road to demo at various UK shows:
Dean Winson
Paul Anson
Karl Tebbutt
Christine King
The rest of the team:
Mark Wheatley
Phil Tonge
Tony Slocombe
Ros Rots
Ben Wheatley
Frances Eyre.
Special mention to Dave Woodward, he not only worked to get the orders out of the door, he also painting lots of the pre-release Frostgrave figures.
Dave King for running the demonstration games.
Kev Dallimore. Where can I start with Kev? He not only painted the majority of the promotional figures, but he prepared the scenes and took the photos for the rulebook, he designed and maintained the Nickstarter page and provided all the graphics you see for Frostgrave online and in the magazines.
Resin Production:
Darryl Ballam
N-FX
Skytrex.
Printing:
Print Revolution
Midland Regional Printers

If I’ve missed anyone out, it wasn’t deliberate, thank you as well!
Lastly I’ll not forget to mention myself, as I’ve managed the Frostgrave figure range from initial design concepts to putting the last figure in the last Nickstarter box.

I hope you’ll enjoy the miniatures and playing the game, this isn’t an end of course, Frostgrave is now a regular product line to order as normal, and we are already working on Frostgrave: The Thaw of the Lich Lord, due out in November.

**Pacific**

I wonder if delivery notices will be sent out for this?

Some interesting people posted there with the miniature rule design. I really like some of Mark Copplestone's work, and I know Bob Naismith seems to get some people reaching for their garlic and holy water, but it looks like he has done a fantastic job on that plastic kit. Seriously, from the painted miniatures they look like they are the best plastic fantasy psuedo-historical minis on the market. Actually, the style makes me think a lot of the humans in World of Warcraft!

A news article on BoW about the Demon release:
http://www.warlordgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/WGA-FRB-23-Freeborn-X-launcher-a-600x600.jpg

North Star show off some amazing painting on the Major Demon for Frostgrave. See what you think of it below, an ensorcelled beast that will no doubt be quite the dangerous adversary for your Wizards…

I think the models are looking superb for this game and the paint job here brings the model to a whole new level…

“If the Summon Demon spell is successfully cast, a demon is immediately placed on the table within one inch of the summoner. It may not be placed into combat. The demon is treated as though it is already subject to a Bind Demon spell. The type of demon summoned depends on the amount by which the wizard made his casting roll.”

Now all that is left is to give this a go! I hope that Warren and the gang use their Loch Death board to make room for a Frostgrave showdown too.

**RobertsMinis**

If you ordered from Northstar your order has been sent out, the parcels should/were collected yesterday. I didn't receive mine today though :(

**tgmoore**

Is there a US Distributor for the miniatures? My local game store could get the book but not the miniatures. Seems like a major oversight.

**joe5mc**

I know Brigade Games will be distributing the miniatures in the US. I believe a couple of other companies will as well, but that's the one I know for sure.

Didn't get mine yet unfortunately either.

Fingers crossed for monday, although I have a massive pile of other stuff to get through so not like I can really get started on it yet anyway!
