Hobby update - 3D printed buildings

Image
 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 - Alternative warband ideas

Image
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...

Hobby Update - Frostgrave campaign preperation

Image
Saturday we start our Frostrgave campaign with an introductory session on how to create your own warband. This one we are setting in the Warhammer world and mostly using "bad guy" warbands. I have been painting up some terrain to give my collection more of an Empire feel to it Here is my Mausoleum, the ghosts of Empire heroes past might come out to haunt us.  This is the old Empire chappell. It got a quick paint job but was great to help set the direction of the colour palette for the models. This is an filament 3D print church. it takes paint well and I can't see many layer lines after applying the paint Here is another view of the ground floor. The Ground floor comes with an interior that's big enough to fit some models. The tower is also hollow so you could get a model in there either by magic or a lot of elbow grease. Here is my warband. They are a Warcry team with some backup from models made from FireForge Games Undead peasants. They all wear manacles, so they l...

Hobby update - Frostgrave campaign

Image
For our next Frostgrave campaign we are going to theme it with Warhammer models. The idea is that we are all the forces of chaos and destruction and are going to bring down the kingdoms of men elves and dwarfs as part of our 12-step programme to ascension. Using a warhammer theme also makes it more accessible to people that have not played before. Everyone has some GW fantasy models. I have bought a few Warcry warbands and some underworlds boxes to make warbands. I have made some other models out of a box of undead peasants to round out some of the thieves and thugs that are not usually included in Warcry warbands. After reading a Conan story where he encounters a giant composite ghost. I remember I had this model from the Carnevale Doctors range and am painting it to look like it's a ghost. Here are my Khainite Shadowstalkers, these are shaping up to be an illusionist warband. They have some hounds and an illusionary one. These will be very tricky elves. Here are the splintered Fa...
