Lich's Underling? Mortal form? Not sure, but this pic was accompanied by news that the Nickstarter might start on September 25.

**Alpharius**

Too soon!

TOO SOON!

That's a nice looking model though...

**Manchu**

He has been ruled Not An Elf by The Powers That Be. Goes along with the dwarf in the short story having dwarfism. I guess this guy just has a case of prettyboyism.

**highlord tamburlaine**

Looks like a skull on his chest, so he must be an evil necromancer.

Evil necromancers are usually pretty boys if they aren't rotting, shambling husks of life.

He's missing something. Knott's Scary Farm employees typically wear knee sliders.

The connection is K-Pop.

Want.

Now.

Seriously I've not wanted a mini this much since, well... yesterday, but still. Want.

**pancakeonions**

Wow, those are some great looking models. Haven't even make one soldier yet, but I'll be Nickstartin' this one from go.

**adamsouza**

Does anyone know any US distributor that carries the Mercs and will carry these cultists ?

I already tried, TheWarstore, Miniatures Market, and Amazon, and all I was able to find was the books.

Just picked up the main rulebook this week. Read it and love it. Now I just need to get my gaming group to give it a try.

For those that might be interested:

Frostgrave: The Hunt for the Golem PDF is now available from Wargames Vault: http://bit.ly/1L5RBns

For those not in the know, this is a mini-campaign that was originally produced as part of the Nickstarter. It contains 3 scenarios, a unique monster, and a several new treasures. Like to be of special interest for Enchanters and other construct lovers.

**Mutter**

Hmmm, $5 is a bit rich for a mini-pdf, I find.

Will do without.

**NewTruthNeomaxim**

Yuck... I hate having content pieced out across too many things. A core book, and eventual expansion books are one thing, but then needing to remember some random .pdf I own for a particular treasure item, etc... is bad form.

This isn't a board-game where you can add cards or something to your card-pool if you're intending to bulk out the game. At least Song of Blade and Heroes had a supported war-band calculator which keeps tabs of where every trait appears, etc.

I take it you don't play D&D then haha. I don't see it as any different from GW publishing scenarios and units and such in WD back when they used to do that sorta thing. I mean if you don't like it don't buy/play the supplement then you won't have worry about.

**Bellygrub**

Thanks Joe. I downloaded a copy and am looking forward to trying it out.

I personally think it's cool that creators can pump out little scenarios and such like this without having to wait for a full book release. Keeps the game from going stale.

**adamsouza**

Thanks for the heads up about the distributors and the PDF.
I'm likely to use both.

**Mymearan**

Well... The cultists are not really as I imagined them.

**plastictrees**

Haha, yikes. Not for me.
Still excited to give the game a go though, just with mierce and confrontation minis.

**Kid_Kyoto**

Cultists, zombies and skeletons in one box?

Want.
Now.

FGVP02 - Frostgrave Cultists
Released 20th November 2015.

Death cultists are mortal men and women who have sworn their service to an undead master, usually in the hope of achieving some form of immortality. They normally come from the lowest rung of society and have few useful skills and little combat training. What they lack in ability, however, they make up for in fanaticism and fearlessness in the face of death. When sent out by their masters, death cultists generally conceal their identities behind masks and hoods, but proclaim their allegiances by adorning themselves with bones, chains and other symbols of death.

The Frostgrave Cultists box set contains enough parts to make 20 different figures. There are multiple heads, arms, weapons and accoutrements per frame, no two warbands will ever be the same.

Cultists feature in Thaw of the Lich Lord as opponents in the scenarios and as random encounters. They should also be used as the soldiers for Warbands of evil wizards, especially ones who've embraced Lichdom.

The Cultists have been designed to compliment the Frostgrave Soldiers plastic box set. By that we mean the arms, heads and equipment are interchangeable, giving you even MORE choice to built a unique and personal Warband.

And as an extra bonus, the Cultist plastic frame includes heads and arms to convert your Soldiers or Cultists into skeletons and Zombies. True Frostgrave Undead! Perfect to represent your 'risen from the dead' ex-soldiers.

The plastic figures are 28mm sized, supplied unpainted and require assembly with glue. We recommend you use glue designed for plastic to get the best results.

**lord_blackfang**

Why does everyone suddenly not like the cultists?

Also, why is it a Nickstarter if the author is Joe?

**notprop**

Zombie/Skellie parts is a nice touch.

I'll be picking up that cultist box for sure. The parts will cover conversions for allot of genres even if they never get made as cultists.

**Taaloc**

The cultists with their faces covered look pretty sweet. I've just picked up a box of the Frostgrave Soldiers which I'm very happy with, loads of variety and spare parts so I'm sure the cultist heads with exposed faces won't need to be used at all.

The art looked great but the figures... not so much.

**joe5mc**

Some more shots of unpainted cultists.

Still not shown are the extra undead bits included in the set...

Nick (from whence Nickstarter originates) owns North Star Miniatures who are co-producing all of the figures in conjunction with Osprey. The Nickstarter is just his name for his pre-order/rewards system he developed.

**lord_blackfang**

Oh, okay. I think I'll take two boxes to use as Abyssal cultists in KoW.

**adamsouza**

Those Cultisits are great. Sure there was an ugly face or two in the first pic, but they are suppossed to be evil antagonists, so butt ugly is good thing. Even if you don't like their ugly mugs, the hooded, zombie , and skeletal heads should make up for it.

I'm definitely getting a box, or two.

**highlord tamburlaine**

The pointed masks are exactly what I had hoped for.

Look nice and evil!

**ulgurstasta**

Slightly disappointed in the cultists, but then again i have never really been a fan of the sculpting style that the frostgrave uses.

**Barzam**

They look about like I expected. Are there random encounters with cultists, or just the odd undead stuff and animals?

Holy moly, I think they look freakin' great. I'm in this for sure.
