I got my friend John (not to
be confused with my friend John)
excited about playing Frostgrave.
So much so that when he was in our Friendly Local Game Store - Dragon’s
Den - He picked himself up a boxed set of Barbarian
Women from Reaper Miniatures and brought them by for me to paint for
him…
Well… I don’t know, but I think
they might be a tad underdressed for adventuring in the frozen city of
Frostgrave… they might find it a bit nipple… er... I mean… NIPPY!
… and that armour…
I had thought of busting out the
green stuff and adding a bit more fur to the lot of them… but then that seemed
a little too much like work – and it would take too long – I’d like to get a
campaign of this up and running soonish!
(Remember: click on the pictures
for a bigger version):
The bulk of these are from the
Savage
Beauty boxed set from Reaper Miniatures - it only had nine and only
one spell caster so I’ve added an additional one to act as an apprentice – a figure
from RAFM I happened
to have in my lead mountain…
Magician and Apprentice. The Magician
(with the staff) is from the
Reaper Miniatures boxed set, the apprentice is the figure I added
from RAFM.
The rest are from the
Reaper Miniatures boxed set.
The Archer could be an Archer,
Tracker or Ranger. The Warrior with the two swords I figure could be passed off
as a Barbarian - they’re supposed to have a two-handed weapon… but two hand
weapons could be pretty much the same…
Warriors with single hand
weapons could be Thugs?
Warriors with sword and shield
could be (wo)men-at-arms…?

Hopefully we’ll get to see these
on the table in the not to distant future.
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
Game reports hopefully!
A hardy lot these barbarian women! Lovely paint jobs!

ReplyDeleteSplendid women, love the shields!
ReplyDeleteMerci Phil!
DeleteLove that owl!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm pretty happy with how int turned out myself. I've painted similar on a few of my greek and Amazonian shields - the owl was a symbol of Athena - Goddess of War and Wisdom.
DeleteGreat work!! I am slowly drinking some of the Frostgrave Koolaid myself...
ReplyDeleteThanks! We're having another game this evening, so hopefully I'll have another battle report to post to whet your appetite!
DeleteI like what you've done here! I almost spewed Pepsi on my keyboard when you mentioned "busting out" in relation to these lassies.
ReplyDeleteIntentional or slip? Only you know!
Thanks Jonathan!
DeleteIt as quite unintentional.
