Frostgrave Cheescake Warband

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!

    1. Thanks! 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.

  6. I like what you've done here! I almost spewed Pepsi on my keyboard when you mentioned "busting out" in relation to these lassies.
    Intentional or slip? Only you know!
