Osprey & North Star To Unleash A Horde Of Gnolls On Frostgrave
February 10, 2016 by brennon
It looks like the next set of plastic miniatures from Osprey Games and North Star for Frostgrave is going to be a ravening horde of Gnolls! Into The Breeding Pits is one of the upcoming expansions for the game so it makes sense to unleash these snarling creatures on your adventurers...
This is going to be a fantastic set I reckon and maybe it will give you options for making a warband of them rather than just using them as enemies to face? The options within these kits have always been extensive so I hope we're going to see some models soon.
It could be that Frostgrave is becoming a great stop for people looking for models for tabletop and role-playing games in plastic. More monsters please!
What do you think of the news?
"It could be that Frostgrave is becoming a great stop for people looking for models for tabletop and role-playing games in plastic. More monsters please!"
Yes!
Not only will I be using these for Frostgrave, I’ll be looking to put together a new army for Kings of War using the Herd army list…
They look good, no models yet to look at? none of the links above seem to work at the moment but it may just be my old mac saying I am tired leave me alone.
I love these, they are generic but have never been on the market before. Great for skirmish games, wargames like Dragon Rampant and role players. A solid win of a release.
Actually, Reaper has a whole lot of excellent gnoll figures. Most are now available in Bones. I bought about 60 of them to make a brigade. They even have a shaman. Still, I’ll be looking at Frostgrave for the heroes. 🙂
If there are thee same standard as the previous sets, these will be worth the funds. With these, the current push from people like Mantic, Fireforge, Perries, Victorix, Conquest and Gripping Beast – to name but a few (did not mention GW as too few figures for too much money), any 28mm gamer will be well served.
And we are movng away from the ‘man in full plate’ figure – these and Fireforges upcoming Medieval Russians, many options for ‘different’ armies.

Would be useful for any D&D GMs who like using minis.
look forward to seeing the plastic
There was a metal Gnoll as part of the last Nickstarter, there is probably a pic on NorthStars Facebook but the model won’t be released until the new supplement is released.
fantastic news!
I’m trying to resist Frostgrave for now – don;t know how long I’ll last though if they keep bringing out these excellent plastic sprues with all the variety on offer.
These plastic kits are so useful for KoW as well as frostgrave. Shame the shieldmaidens KS couldn’t manage this too.
If they are anything like the Soldier and Cultist boxes then they will be fantastic.
