Get A Clearer Look At The Soldier Sprues For Frostgrave
May 31, 2015 by brennon
North Star have shown off a better look at the new plastic set of Soldiers that will be coming out for Frostgrave. These images below give a clearer indication of what's on them and how all the pieces are going to look out of the box...
On closer inspection it gives you a nice idea of the types of heads, weapons, accessories and bodies you'll be getting. I like that, to start with, we have them armoured up in a range of leather and metal as it gives you a sense that they're a rag tag bunch of mercenaries following these Wizards and not some professional outfit with lots of gold to spare.
The weapon options are also really neat and there are a set of cool ranged weapons as well as melee ones. I think my favourite weapons here would have to be the smaller hand axe and the large sword that would sit across the wielders shoulder.
One problem I do see is that the arms are very bunched up and tight to the model. I know this isn't a massive problem but it doesn't create the same sense of animation and motion I would think.
What do you think?
"...it gives you a sense that they're a rag tag bunch of mercenaries following these Wizards"
As mentioned before, I really like them and will certainly pick up a box or two.
Not sure about the game as such just yet. Not keen on wizards as such but it seems they develop some nice background stories/ fluff and this could potentially drag me in..
Pretty much the same for me definitely will be grabbing a box though
Have to get some boxes for myself… Sweet stuff…
They look good I have signed up for a level three wizard so I will be getting a box of these.
One of my friends has bought in as well. I’m looking forward to getting a campaign going.
I’m not interested in the game , but I like these figures . Probably get a box to mix with left over German weapons , arms , personal kit and gas mask heads from Warlord . My version of weird war troops
Interesting minis for mordheim maybe?
My first thoughts too. And then the actual game started to look like a good, better supported, alternative to Mordheim. Essentially the same premise with a more focus on wizards.
This is a really fun little kit that you could use for piles of purposes. I wonder how much they will be. It’d be great to have a big group of rabble for whatever fantasy game I need it for.
These look great. I look forward to receiving mine!
I think the game is going to take over from Mordheim in our group. It’ll be great to play a system that’s supported.
