Frostgrave: The Red King Expansion Coming December 2020
August 18, 2020 by brennon
Osprey Games' and Joseph A. McCullough's Frostgrave 2nd Edition isn't even out yet (watch out for it in August) and we already have a peek ahead at what's coming for this fantastic Fantasy skirmish wargame. The Red King is going to be expanding your campaigns in December.
Frostgrave: The Red King // Osprey Games
Here is the blurb from the back of the book (taken from it's Amazon listing) to get your mind racing about the possibilities...
"Fires rage throughout the Frozen City as an inhuman army pours out of the cracks between realities. In the distant past, a cabal of city elders sought to save their lives by making a pact with a demon prince. and now the Red King has come to collect what he is owed, claiming Frostgrave as his own. Many have already fled before the Red King's demonic hordes, while others seek to weather the storm, turning their bases into makeshift fortresses. The wizards of Frostgrave must choose - do they stand and fight, or do they abandon this great repository of mystical knowledge to the ravages of unearthly fire?
The Red King is the first supplement designed for Frostgrave: Second Edition. In this sprawling, epic campaign, wizards will be pushed to their limits, fighting not only against one another and the perils of the Frozen City, but also against an invading army. As the Red King's power grows, the laws of magic and nature will start to bend. Can the wizards put aside their differences long enough to oppose this common foe, or will greed and mistrust doom them all?"
I do like the idea that we're already getting a big epic campaign to dive into when it comes to Frostgrave 2nd Edition. Throwing another villain into proceedings seems like a great way to force a bit of cooperation between Wizards as they seek for riches in the Frozen City. It also provides plenty of chances for you to backstab your competitors and leave them to the whims of The Red King and his armies.
The new edition of Frostgrave is just around the corner and I think a lot of folks are going to be diving back into the Frozen City for another campaign...or two!
What do you think of The Red King from this peek ahead?

This sounds exciting similar to the shannara story with a portal to another realm for an invading to get through.
woohoo! Frostgrave: Second Edition arrives Thursday 20-AUG-2020! Also, they announced yesterday that the Red King sprue will have 20 soldiers so they will be pouring Feldstat to attack all warbands. Looks like this will be a great supplement
Ooh exciting! I’d missed this somehow.
Do you have a link to that?

In a closed group. Annoying.
Here is his post if it helps Nick Eyre badge icon Sneak peek. These are 3D prints from the designs, not the actual final plastic models. This will be a Frostgrave box set, probably with 4 frames giving you 20 figures. There is supposed to be some kind of promo for the red king that will include this, the book and a metal figure of the Red King. That was a different post. I personally HATE FB, but with COVID it was the only way I could connect to various family members especially those living in Italy so since I… Read more »
Bloody Facebook. Thanks for sharing though. Will keep an eye out for the next email (North Star’s is the one I await most eagerly each week).
Diving in headfirst as with all FG stuff.
I have been waiting for this one, looking so damn good
Like the sound of this. You can’t beat a bit of friendly in game back stabbing. Not that I don’t do it anyway normally in Frostgrave. It would appear now it’s going to be actively encouraged 🙂
This sounds interesting! If the guys in the background of cover art are the bad guys and, they translate well into minis, this will be nice!
Looking forward to this. Thaw of the Lich Lord was the most interesting sounding campaign supplement and this sounds similar. The demon kit that’s coming out looks cool too.
