The first of the minis I have completed with Frostgrave in mind was painted up as a shamen/warlock in the browns. The autumn leaves on the base just seemed to bring this out better.
When it came to the second of these two, I went with a more winter theme, fitting in with the Frostgrave esthetic. I especially like his staff, it has a real Oldhammer look to it. Just comical enough.
The theme continues if we place these two wizened gentleman next to another completed miniature, who isn't strictly Oldhammer, but was pained up with a Bretonnian army in mind. When the three are placed together, we have Summer, Autumn and Winter. I have already selected a great mini to be Spring, and that will also do as an apprentice for Frostgrave, as these minis are all far to old to still be apprentices!
These minis may have taken me away from this years goal fo completing my Khador casters, but at least they got me back into painting after a 6 month hiatus. Back with more minis for this game soon.
Very cool paintjobs! :D
ReplyDeleteCheers mate. Any chance you'll be facing them across the table for a game? ;)
DeleteAfter tonight, big chance indeed! I'm rummaging through my collector minis to build the sexiest Magus Warband this side of the city (of Frostgrave!) :P
DeleteLooking forward to seeing them, I plan to organise a game or two in the weeks to come.
DeleteWell worth waiting for
