Frostgrave - a light refreshing beverage at the elven shrine

-
Image
All five of us made it to the Warlords to play Frostgrave on Saturday. Richard and James played a scenario based on the Wildlands book. George Alan and I played a scenario which combines the Well of Dreams and Sorrows and Genie in the bottle from the main rule book. In this scenario the well was an ancient elven shrine. I scratch built this some years ago. The dome is a cullender which I then plastered into a dome using a template to make it circular. This makes it quite heavy. To add more spice to the scenario, one of the treasures was actually the bound prison of a daemon. Vandred led his warband towards the fountain. My strategy is to have Vandred lead the assault team of buffed up chaos warriors while the apprentice Magaera leads the missile group to provide fire support. Both my Archers have magic weapons. Here are George's suitably treacherous Skaven. George had a couple of his constructs up on blocks back at his workshop so he had a horde of skaven thugs to run out and be ex...

Rusty Dagger - Blood Sucker.

After having his pirate ship sunk from under him by Mazmar and his crew of undead revenants. Arzag finally makes it to shore and heads for the nearest village. He arrives at what looks like a rundown fishing village and heads to the local tavern for a seat by the fire some ale and food. One of the village leaders runs into the tavern and cries out that a baby has been taken. The suspect was last seen heading into the local graveyard. The village elder offers 30 gold to rescue the baby, Arzag might not be good at maths but 30 Gold to rescue a baby from one person smells fishier than the tavern food. What could go wrong? Arzag stands up and accepts the deal. He then heads off to the graveyard. A village called Eric wants to come along and help. Arzag growls in his best Chuck Norris voice, "I work alone. If you get in my way I will kill you myself" Heading into the graveyard the place is a jumble of crumbling stone grave markers. Some figures are moving nearby. Arzag ends up wit...

Hobby update - 3D printed buildings

 Here is a quick update on what I have been working on. Here are some extra models to add to the pool of models for our Frostgrave games. Alan gave me a couple of flagellents and these can be either barbarians or infantrymen for the witch hunters. Here is my daemon for the Genie in a Bottle scenario. This is an old model from Raging Heroes. This model is probably at least 10-15 years old. This is one of the filament buildings, it’s the tavern. Here is the front entrance the two levels are playable and there is even detail on the inside of the roof Here is a shot of all 4 buildings squashed together. This gives you an idea of how big the buildings are. That’s the big house, it’s even comes with a little garden area at the back. This is the small house, it’s still well built This is the church. The tower will fit an infantry model inside. It’s not very big other than the tower. I am working on some beastmen to add some complication to the Well of hopes and dreams. The beastmen are do...

Frostgrave - Slaughter at Schlemdorf

-
Image
Alan George and I got together for a game of Frostgrave in our new campaign. The formerly peaceful town of Schlemdorf has been the site of a battle between the forces of order and those of Chaos. A town bereft of population might be the source of some easy pickings for those looking for treasure and magical knowledge. Alternatively, we could be here to rescue survivors and ensure the people are safe. Time and weather permitting. Here are a group of Dwarf Slayers. Marching into battle singing the “Hi, Ho” song. Here are the surviving citizens of Schlemdorf. They are keen to meet the new arrivals and for some reason are singing the “Food Glorious Food”  Here are the forces of Vandred Hellforger and his apprentice Maegara making an advance towards the center of town. We commence casting enchant weapon and Strength on the soldiers in the squad. George's Skaven team commence rescue operations. While everyone might expect the Inquisition no one was expecting Alan's Witch hunter to tr...
