discussion Completed Frostgrave 28mm Skeletons

[Tim Marlow]

Hi all
Attached are pictures of my completed 28mm Frostgrave Skeletons. These come as multipart plastic kits ad were great fun to paint.....
First up, the reanimated shades of some ancient rangers, owing their allegiance to the Queen, they were tasked with guarding her parks and gardens...

….and the back....

Next up, the Hearthguard of the great Lord Don.....Lorrimar, Wee Billy, Big Jack with Norman by his side, and Sniffer....

and lastly, some Northern mercenaries from the land of Whyayee...led by theier legendary leader Sue Permack….


Finally, one for scale....

Hope you like them.....

[Tim Marlow]

Thanks Ralph, I appreciate the support....there are certainly some good plastic figures out there these days....

Fantastic work tim , great painting especially at such a small scale, cheers tony

 

[Steve Jones]

Great to see you posting your work again Tim. Luvin your figures. They certainly look a mean bunch. Many thanks for sharing

 

[Tim Marlow]

Thanks Tony, funnily, I think of these as quite big LOL....have a look at the 15mm figures for “small”.....

 

[Tim Marlow]

Thanks Steve. I actually posted some Romano and some Celts not that long ago....takes time to finish ‘em....these were probably two to three hours each, except for Wee Billy, he took longer to base....

looking great ,Tim

 

[Tim Marlow]

Thanks Neil, it’s easier at this scale, you can cheat more

More astonishing skill with the paintbrush Tim. Wonderful work.

Hi brilliant work sir there a lot of detail in these figures and have bought it all out so well, love the colours to.
Top job.
Pete.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Thanks Peter, it’s honestly easier than the scale you work in, plenty of places to hide the mistakes......

Thanks Pete, the colours are nicked from football teams. My gaming mate is a big QPR fan, so they had to go in. I support the mighty Leeds, so natural choice there, and your Toons reminded me of Newcastle, so that was the third choice. It was also a lot easier than freehanding twelve different shields.....

Lovely work Tim, and great consistency between the members in each group

 

[Tim Marlow]

Thanks Andy. Consistency is attained by adopting a production line approach.....something along the lines of “It’s Monday so I will be painting armour.....”.

I see that with my lad when he's batch painting an army. He started off completing one figure at a time then realised it was much easier to do one colour/area on all of them at once.

Fabulous paintwork Tim, they look great. So much detail in such a small scale. Awesome
Can’t help but think about the Harryhausen animations in Jason and the Argonauts.

Cheers

wow the fading are excellent and the contrast of the tunic color and shields contrast really good with the bones..

 

[Tim Marlow]

Hi Paul, thanks for the compliments. My gaming mate said the same thing Ref appearance....if you want any that are closer to Harryhausen, try Xyston miniatures, they are more Greek in appearance.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Hi Greg, very kind of you to say so. The bones were done with Zenital painting using three colours and an airbrush. They we’re finalised by drybrushing a high highlight to pick out the texture. The rest of the clothing and armour were then painted over the top of this....
