The more I see Frostgrave minis the more impressed I am, I'm not interested from a gaming view for for conversion fodder there's loads of goodies.

Got some very wip frostgrave to show you. I'm experimenting with a more shadowy look that starts out very very dark grey and then I highlight it up to this

Ok I've finished the cleric/paladin type dude and the rogue/explorer type guy. Check out the neat heraldic cross on the shield. Did it with ink and a brush.

Hey thanks for stopping by.
Having a day off work so I faffed about with fabric patterns on the fighter, barbarian and thief/thug. The fighter guy has a vaguely eastern look and the other two are sporting tartans.

Cheers for the compliments! These guys will be new heros for adv hroqst as the earlier lot are all dead as doornails.
I went ahead and bought the frostgrave cultist sprue as I was very happy with the quality. They can be chaos thugs or something. While I was at it I looked at the sellers other stuff and fell in love with some tiny dogs and a donkey. One day I shall create a diorama for them maybe... Meantimes they can be a dungeon encounter, hireable henchdogs or something like that.

The adventurers have come up great, as have the Samaurai from the other thread. I'm interested in seeing how the dogs turn out, and how they compare in size to other models.

I have finished a commission! Some very old classic era orcs, 1981-1985.
A variety of skeletons ranging from 1985-2005

Nice work!
I’m quite fond of the not-quite old school wights and armored skeletons. I think that era is a sweet spot between sculpting quality and character. Modern stuff is technically nice, but often soulless. Ancient stuff is full of character, but often soft on detail.

Love the old school fantasy, really great work. Love the old figures so full of character.
Those Samurai are brilliant, Especially the very first one, his face paint is exceptional. Great work all round.

Lots of work posted here recently!
I like what you've done on the old-school orcs. I've got variations on a couple of the Kev Adams ones, and I see the hand of Nick Lund there quite a bit.
The Skeleton Halberdiers are great, I really like the wight-ish armoured skeletons as well, and I'm always a sucker for proper oldschool/oldhammer metal skeletons.
Samurai have come up really nicely as well. That's your February pledge done now?

Well I've got 8 days left so I might get my frostgrave cultists done as a stretch goal. But Im covering peoples holidays in work so have very little time.
When it comes to boring jobs there is never the right amount of work. Its always too much to cope with or too little to pay the bills!
After the frostgrave chaps I've picked up a box of modern plague bearers to practice diseases on.
Glad to like them fifty. That's what goffs were supposed to look like!

I love seeing these classic minis, and I especially like the skeletons. I think some of them where the first models I ever collected, which was some time ago now  .
