Some Big Boys

Hello friends!

Here are the images of the larger monster-type miniatures I mentioned previously. I finally got around to loading the photos up on the computer and now sharing them with you all. All of these figures are Reaper Bones. The giants came with the Kickstarter; the worms I bought at MillenniumCon in November 2017.

Same worm, painted for Frostgrave as an Ice Worm

Hill Giant

I am particularly happy with his skin tones.

Heck, I even painted in his eyes.

Weekend Gaming Update 4/22/2019

   Friday night watched a great episode of Dragons and Things on Twitch while I painted minis. I don't think I have mentioned Dragons and Things here, which is a shame. It's a live play stream of a bunch of crazy people playing Pathfinder. It's a lot of fun, and they interact a lot with the viewers, which is what drew me to it so much in the first place. Anyway, from 6:00-10:00 Pacific that's what I am usually doing (which is 8 to midnight for me).

   Played a game of Infinity with my buddy Zach and his son. Went to a local-ish game store to play, Montag's Games. I ought to do a Store Report on them, but I may have already. They've just moved into a new space, though, so it may be time for an update.

   I finished the following minis over the weekend:

Reaper Bones Mechanical Monkeys

These are destined to serve Otto Maton if he ever reappears...

 Reaper Bones village woman with her rugrats.

 Frostgrave Soldiers (Archer and Infantryman)

These are painted for the witch, specifically, but could be used for anyone really

More Frostgrave Soldiers (Tracker and Man-at-Arms)

More Frostgrave terrain

Closer up

So, knocking a few things out. Which is good, considering what's on the way soon...

So Much Terrain!

   I have been working fairly consistently on terrain the last couple of weeks in my limited hobby painting time. The results are a fair bit of work done on Frostgrave terrain and a few random pieces as well. That would, of course, include finishing up those minefields for Team Yankee that I showed off a few posts back.

   So here are a few photos of what I have managed to accomplish:

These are supposed to be bases but I thought they would look good as ruined scatter terrain.

An experiment in bamboo stands and some additional small trees.

I should do a few trees up as Frostgrave bushes I think.

The largest piece of Frostgrave terrain I have. It gives a bit of a third dimension to

the battlefield, which it desperately needs. I need a tower, too.

A harmless statue, or a devastating golem?

Another statue? And yet another ruined wall... are there no buildings still standing?

More tombstones (I think I will sell some on eBay)

Also, a trio of beer barrels. Because beer.

Finished Ice Troll

   The big guy is done and ready to terrify the invaders of the lost frozen city...

Ice Troll

First base coat of Turqouise

And a really bad photo

Skin getting there - I think I only did one or two more highlights

Skin done. Work on the boulder, the teeth and claws

Also some work on the loincloth.

   This is a Reaper Bones mini, like many of the others I have been painting lately. I like the Bones line because I think you get a good mini at a really nice price, especially for the larger guys like this troll. He's almost finished, I hope to share a photo of him in a few days.

A Bit of Work

   A few things I finished off recently, mostly things for Frostgrave

A neat little cottage, one of the few not ruined

A long forgotten king?

Witch for Frostgrave

The Witch's Apprentice

Old GW Trollslayer

Frostgrave ruins. I used GW's Valhallan Blizzard on the snow.

Sigilists for Frostgrave

   The first Wizard / Apprentice combo I have finally gotten around to completing for Frostgrave: the sigilists. Honestly I picked them because I love the minis.

The pair. I had forgotten to draw the symbols on the scroll. D'OH!

Better.

Notice the icy patch beneath her feet.

Using Secret Weapon resin bases.

And an over the shoulder look of the Apprentice and what she's reading. Don't be fooled - I think that's just Pride and Prejudice in Draconic or something...

Some Terrain Pieces

A Great Buddha with some trees around it.

Frostgrave Cemetery

Based on a CD, obviously.
I considered adding names and such to the tombstones but eventually chose not to do so.

These will go along with the Mausoleum and the statue.

A grating for Frostgrave. I should probably put some sort of black card or plastic beneath it to make it seem as if it goes down into the lightless depths of some Stygian underhive...

Another shot of the graves, with a better view of the statue

Some Frostgrave progress

   Two posts in before the end of the month! Look at me go! I feel so much better after this second procedure, let me tell you...

   So up today are a few of the soldiers for Frostgrave and a shot of the mausoleum graveyard terrain.

The Crypt.

I got it from a set of 3-D printed stuff on eBay. Price was very reasonable

Bronze roof. I should probably have added verdigris - I may go back and do it at a later date.

Five Soldiers

Man at Arms, Infantryman, Treasure Hunter, Thug, Crossbowman (l to r)

I also finished up one of a pair of Fu dogs. Theses will be living statue traps in Frostgrave

Bronze with a molten metal/orange eye effect.
