Frostgrave Warband
Hiring the thugs
I started by reading the rules on building your warband and came up with a basic 500 gold group.
Wizard (Enchanter) 0 gold
Apprentice 200 gold
Crossbowman 50 gold
Tracker 80 gold
Infantryman 50 gold
Treasure Hunter 80 gold
Thugs x2 20 gold each
I managed to make the majority of the dwarves in my warband with the dwarf sprue I bought at Salute. I spoke briefly with the writer of the Frostgrave rules Joseph A. McCullough. He appreciated that I had enjoyed the rules and the feedback that I really enjoyed his solo play expansions.
I also bought a Scibor miner dwarf miniature with a lantern and gun that I had wanted to get for ages. The game rules don’t support guns, but I had seen lots of people had shared on Facebook that they were treating guns with the same rules as crossbows. The long reload time and good damage stats of crossbows work out well.
I bought the Frostgrave official enchanter and apprentice minis because I thought that they looked great any way. The hammer etc of this pairing will hopefully gel with the warband of dwarves quite nicely.
I really love Northstar’s plastics and you’ve done great work with them.
One thing you might consider is that Dwarves could hire on a halfling burglar or two.
My warband is human, but I love that there’s no difference in stats, and your dwarfs are exactly the same in game as their human counterparts. It’s a great looking warband and I look forward to the project continuing.
Love Frostgrave!
