Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago
Abner the musketeer
Abner the musketeer (in-game Crossbowman).
Finding painting in the UK heatwave a challenge. Paint doesn’t seem to be acting the way I expect it to. Might have to revisit Abner after the weather changes.
Using similar paint scheme from Azadi.
Zandri Dust, Morghast and Wraithbone layers to give me the white I wanted for the shirt.
Steel Legion Drab for the jacket with Mephiston Red flares around the bottom.
The Crossbowman specialist is meant to have light armour and a dagger… Well he hasn’t even got shoes, but I really liked him as a sculpt so met the stats halfway by giving him a dagger from the NorthStar Barbarians sprue.
Abner Cato and Cosmo Smallpiece joined the crew together more recently than the rest of the crew. Some feel they may be on the run for desertion from the army to find their fortune when news of the Archipelago’s return reached the coastal Southern Sea ports. They remain tight-lipped about their past, but have passed every trial of marksmanship that Heritor Thatchdagger set for them. To prove worthy of their place on the expedition, quite publicly for the crew to see, they were able to strike birds in flight and deer at impressive long ranges and every one loves a man that can provide dinner and entertainment, so they were hired and embraced by the crew.
