Pre orders live along with the new Knights sprue

http://www.northstarfigures.com/list.php?man=195&cat=717&page=1

**Siygess**

I'm surprised there isn't a "all the new stuff" bundle that consists of the knights box, the book and the thaumaturge 2 model. But hey, it's not like I can't order these things separately.

**Coenus Scaldingus**

Ah, they went for a sprue lay-out like that of the wizards - was not expecting that.

Larger sprue than the other soldier types, but still with 5 bodies on a sprue, and two of those sprues in a box (instead of 4 smaller ones). But as the wizard kit, obvioulsy more bits per sprue, with more than 20 different heads from the looks of it. Pricetag is the same as a box of wizards (which makes 8 figures). Overall... probably quite good? Some nice looking weapons on there.

Probably works especially well in the new edition, where you won't end up with a full gang of Marksmen, Knights and Templars anymore. (And some of the rarer "specialists" won't necessarily be from the armoured set anyway - Apothecaries, Barbarians, Rangers, and the likes.)

Will the new 2nd edition book contain any solo-coop material?

**NewTruthNeomaxim**

What was that US site that always piggybacked on the Nickstarters? I definitely want some of those Knights!

FGVII-1 - Frostgrave Warband
Looking to play Frostgrave?

This is the perfect starter Warband for the new Frostgrave player, or for those players who want to field a 100% plastic Warband.

The Frostgrave Warband contains one plastic frame of Wizards, one plastic frame of Soldiers and one plastic frame of Knights. You can make 4 Wizards, 5 Soldiers and 5 Knights from these frames.

All figures are 28mm sized and supplied unpainted and unassembled. You will need glue to assemble the figures.

Options.
The default Frostgrave Warband has the Male Wizards, Soldiers and Knights (We only have male Knights BTW). If you would prefer your Wizards to be women, and/ or your Soldiers to be women, just let us know by writing in the notes or emailing us and we'll swop them round for you. You can also exchange your Soldier frame for a frame of Frostgrave Cultists or Barbarians if you wish, just let us know.

The Frostgrave Warband will be sent out on the 20th of August 2020. It will not be avaiable after that date.

That warband bundle would be a great way to get started with the new edition if you're just coming into the game. I recommend it to anyone in that situation checking this thread out and considering jumping in.

It's how I'd start a new warband if I weren't typing this while seated upon a throne made from backlogged Frostgrave and Oathmark box sets!

**Kid_Kyoto**

I love that you can get the female wizards and soldiers. Maybe if the wonder twins were a bit older...

**SamusDrake**

The model for the female elementalist isn't bad( the one featured on the front cover of the 1st ed rule book ), but wouldn't mind a more dynamic alternative. Any ideas?

hfminis.co.uk has a few good female wizards in frost gear. Worth a look

**SamusDrake**

Not a bad range of minis.

Cheers for that.

**Sabotage!**

Strange choice to not include any closed or visored helmets on the Knights sprue, I can't say I'm a fan of the heads selection. Looks like they mostly included heads that would look better on an infantry man. Not that there are a shortage of Knight miniatures out in the wild.

Looking forward to 2nd edition and to finding out what's new.

Northstar is all you need to know.

great company, great price.

What an awesome range of minis so far. I really am excited to see this game grow as well as it did and hope that the Ranger game punches as hard and as fast...

Wonderful game, and great to see minis come down a little in scale to old school sizes.

Demon renders for the upcoming Demon box:

**Kid_Kyoto**

That is nice, I like the old school, rubber mask look of them as opposed to the more CGI, turn it up to 11 look a lot of evil figures have now.

**Coenus Scaldingus**

Liking the look of their armour; somewhat evil and pointy but not stupidly so. Chainmail that looks like alternating rows of "c"s instead of a bunch of holes is a bonus too. Pretty cool kit overall.

**Psychopomp**

Oh, I like those! Looks like I'll be adding another Frostgrave box to the pile I sleep on at night!

**highlord tamburlaine**

Looking at the models I bet you could take them in to Beastmen or Tiefling territory depending on how they're kitbashed and painted.

Once again showing how crazy versatile they've made this range of plastics.

**Ancestral Hamster**

Are these for the forthcoming Frostgrave: The Red King expansion? If so, those might be helmet visors, not old school demon faces. And yes, this box and the book are likely must-buys.

Two out of the five have goat legs, so I’m thinking those are actual demon faces.

Looks like a great kit. I’ll have to see how some spare Grognard arms fit on the digitigrades so I can give them space lasers.

**Ancestral Hamster**

Good point. Although the Red King is leading a demon army, so perhaps this kit does double duty.

Well, any face can become an armored mask if you paint it gold.

Yes, they are meant to be released alongside the Red King book.

**Ancestral Hamster**

Thank you. And Northstart just sent me a shipping notice for the 2nd edition core, Oathgold, and Thamaturge II.
