Frostgrave’s Kornovik Mounts Up On His Woolly Rhino
March 15, 2017 by brennon
If you've been enjoying the look of the Barbarians in Osprey's Frostgrave then you'll be happy to hear that one of the characters from the cover art, Kornovik, is getting his own miniature. Here's the first look at him from the Renaissance Troll, Joseph McCullough's, own collection.
This Barbarian Outcast has a bit of a story behind him...
"Back before I had written the first word of Forgotten Pacts, I had to turn in an 'artwork brief' for the cover. I knew I wanted barbarians looking down on part of the city, but then, for reasons I can't remember, I decided to have one of them riding a giant woolly rhinoceros. In retrospect, why would I not want a woolly rhinoceros...
...I decided I would work the guy on the cover into the book as a special character, and thus, Kornovik, the Barbarian Outcast was born. And there, I thought the matter would rest."
The sculptor behind the Barbarian plastic miniatures then set to work designing the model in CAD and now you see the products of their labours.
This model should be coming your way in the near future but for now Joseph has one to himself, ready to paint up for his collection. This warrior does look great and maybe could be another friend for Justin's Woolly Mammoth?
What do you think of Kornovik?
"In retrospect, why would I not want a woolly rhinoceros..."
the rhino looks fantastic.
I like this what minature wargaming needs are more Ice Age minis …. Wooly rhino mounts all round
I’ll agree up until the sloth ….. 🙂 I want a rabid ice age squirrel like all hell though.
“Look out Sir the Giant Sloth cavalry is advancing on our eastern flank ” …….. C’mon @dags you can see it, can’t you ?? 😉
but sir they’ve lain down and appearing to be sleeping… is it a feint?
No @beardragon14 and if I do kill it with fire will be my approach
Don’t like the game, love the minis this is fantastic
a wonderful rhino mini, love me some wild animals.
That is the coolest mini. I have been asking for a Woolly Mammoth in our Pathfinder gaming group, thank you. How can a game playing figure painting, Canadian get one?
