You can still get them on Ebay. It is getting harder, and harder, to track down specific models, it's still pretty easy to buy big lots of random models.

I like the construct. It says to me...warjack but doesn't look stupid... somehow. Good stuff. The snowy demon thing is also interesting. Looks kinda like something you'd see on the cover of a really old D&D manual, but blue.

Did you zoom in on the arcane building ? You can actually make out the norse runes. It's the kind of detail you would expect on a resin piece, and not on some foam core creation.
Tonight, I hope to put the finishing touches on a tower I'm building for Frostgrave. It's 10" tall, has 3 levels that miniatures can fight on, and will have elements that are lit with LEDs.
Although I would be fairly easy to bribe, we game in my home, late into the night, so our gaming club membership is fairly exclusive to the people my wife is comfortable with walking arounf my house unsupervised at 1am.
Adding the lights was delayed by me taking a night to play Frostgrave and following it up the next day with a marathon of the new Jessica Jones series.
I'll get some pics up Monday night.
Here's a quick Work In Progress shot of the tower. Assembled for a test fit, with a base coat of PVA and paint mix.
Also, just for fun, I had an idea while watching Jessica Jones and ran with it. My Wizard in Frostgrave has a spell that allows him to summon a wall. The summoned wall is 6"x3" on the tabletop. so I wanted to build a few, to have on hand for when he cast the spell. I've seen other people make plain walls, but I thought that boring, so I decided to have a littel fun with it.

I went crazy online shopping this morning. First, I caught Miniatures Market Black Friday sale a few hours after it started, but still scored some amazing deals. Bought Zombie 15, a Confrontation Starter Box, some Bones and Alchemy models all for more than 50% off. Then I spent an hour bidding on terrain making supplies on Ebay. Bid low on a ton of auction and still won on 100+ of them. I will have packages from China arriving at my house from now until half way through January.
