Frostgrave: Post Covid Gaming
The Bestiary
Frostgrave is a game that usually requires some sort of monster for each scenario to act as an extra foil for the opposing players. There’s also a random wandering monster table though using it is technically an optional rule. Second edition’s core book comes with twice the number of scenarios and while there is nothing wrong with a proxy here or there, I’d really like to get as many as possible painted and available for use. Time to raid the unpainted pile of plastic.
I have a fair number of the monsters already – some still in packaging and some glued onto plain bases. Only a few are actually painted. I’ve told myself that if I get everything painted, then I can justify buying anything else I need.
I spent an afternoon this week cleaning everyone up, sticking them on bases, using Milliput as needed and then putting some bird sand down for texture. If I was really going for it, I’d have picked up a roller or carved some cobblestones or something.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of done.
I’ll batch prime them all with Wraithbone and then the fun begins…
Hi Ninjilly, I’m following your progress with interest as I need to do something similar for a Frostgrave project I started at Christmas. A quick question, in the top right of the left hand tray shown in this entry you have what looks like a work emerging from the ground. Is that going to be one of the sewer worms mentioned in the book? If so, it looks like a great miniature for that purpose. Do you mind telling me where it came from?
It is for the Worm Hunt scenario. The special rules allow for one in any game. The mini itself is from Reaper. I bought mine from Element Games amongst a bunch of other beasties but this is the Reaper link: https://www.reapermini.com/search/worm/latest/77006
