discussion Three 28mm North Star miniatures stunties for Frostgrave

[Tim Marlow]

Hi all
These are the latest chaps off of my never ending Frostgrave jaunt.....
As always, 28mm figures painted with Vallejo and Darkstar paint. These Dwarves were metal figures from Darkstar Miniatures and were a joy to prepare and paint, best castings I’ve had for ages!


First up is Glumli. He is known as Casanunda to his mates, mostly due to the size of his horn!




This one is Grimli.....he is a dwarf crow master come loremaster.



Lastly we have Gormli. A king amongst dwarves......

Sorry the pictures are a bit pants, but the contrast was too high no matter what I did....not too bad for an iPad though....even if it did lose some of the highlights and shadow detail.

cheers all, hope you like ‘em.

Tim

Very nice, I miss my WFB Dwarf army.

Are the shields freehand or LBMS?

 

[Tim Marlow]

Freehand....how good do you think I am LOL....They are LBMS. Quite strange things to those used to water slide or press fix. They are a little like Methfix crossed with stickers. Stick them on and soak off the paper background....Cocked one up by putting it on a black background. Once placed on a white background as instructed that was much better. ...
Thanks for the support Karl...

 

[KarlW]

Yeah, LBMS things are sort of a cross between rubdown transfers and stickers, I've had a few sheets go bad and been unable to remove the clear plastic.
Another downside is that they're to good and nearly every gamer is using them, a bit like Hornet heads a while back

Marvellous work Tim.

 

[Steve Jones]

Outstanding Tim. Luvin all the shadow work. They have real character. Thanks for sharing

 

[Tim Marlow]

Thanks Peter, for once I would say the pictures underplay the whole....especially the crowman....

 

[Tim Marlow]

Thanks Steve. All the character comes from the sculpts.
I just colour them in

Nice work Tim, I've seen some of their models for sale recently, the detail is lovely and crisp.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Hi Mick, thanks for the compliment.
The clean up is easy as well, just have to make sure you get all the vent trails from the extremities.

 

[Jason Crausby]

Nice....very, very nice!

I'm another Tim, some great painting .

 

[Tim Marlow]

Thanks guys, nice to know they are appreciated.

Lovely minis Tim.
Can you play Frostgrave solo?

 

[Tim Marlow]

Hi Ralph
Yes you can, there is a supplement that is designed to do this. However, if you are after solo play I would look into “Rangers of shadow deep”. It’s by the same author, but is designed more for solo or cooperative play.
Thanks for the compliment on the figures by the way....

Cheers for that Tim :smiling3:.
I bought Core Space earlier in the year and found it a fantastic game,I was thinking earlier today that I would like to play something a bit different so I will look into your suggestion.
