We move straight to the second combat encounter with the recently risen members of the former crew. The heroes retain their positions from the end of the last battle. 12 zombies randomly deploy.

It turns out that the pirates crew is led by Mazmar the Malavolent. He has used the necromantic knowledge gained from a recently acquired grimoire to raise a crew of undead revenants and now sails the seas making war on the living Here is Arzag and Olivia, can they fend off the horde of undead fiends?  As the ghost ship approaches a wave of despair rolls over the crew of Arzag’s ship.

I have been having a lot of fun devising and collecting a variety of different warbands for our new Frostgrave campaign. We like to try and make all the models look cohesive so this time we are setting it in the Warhammer world and using mostly "Bad Guy" warbands. Here is Vandred Hellforger and he apprentice Megara. You can't go wrong with a chaos sorcerer it's a classic. He is all about createing magic artefacts and buffing his fighters with the power of chaos. This is a Grok created background. I asked for a Daemon powered hell forge and it came through. Here are the rest of the crew on their march southwards.  "The next person to ask whether we are there yet, gets Leaped into an ice crevasse" I used Grok to create the ice background. It did a good job with this one but was less successful with soime of the others. Maybe it's to do with having the right background. These are the icon breakers of the Jade Obelisk, menhir bad jokes about rocks in their h...
