About the Project
Frostgrave, Ghost Archipelago became an interest as I began to look at Seadogs and Swashbuckers Wargames Foundry miniatures and making a navy inspired Rangers of Shadow Deep warband. I got my rulebook, a single NorthStar Crewman sprue and delved into some list building and hobby.

The list
After recent list building in Rangers of Shadow Deep I found it easy to piece together a starting warband.
It took me a while to pick my opening Warden spells and Heritor abilities, but I am now ready to build my basic crewmen and start painting everything.
The Crew sheet in the back of the book was quite small and my dry markers don’t have a fine tip.
I knocked these lists up on excel (pictured) and with most things typed out I only need to use a dry marker occasionally. I plan to use wound markers on the battlefield for my first game and see how it goes.
Hunter
Hunter kitbash fun. ?
So as a hunter specialist he needed:
Light armour – NorthStar Gnoll arms
Bow and Quiver – NorthStar Gnoll arm and quiver
Two handed weapon – Wargames Factory WSS sergeants spear.
The body is from the NorthStar Crewman sprue and the head is from the Human Oathmark sprue.
I am going to paint the face with a vicious old three claw scar to give him a backstory and some experience.
By happy accident his pose has an interesting look, where he could be about to rest / drop his spear and swap to his bow, but just as easy to imagine that he is about to drop his bow in front of him, whip the spear around and tackle someone with it double handed. ?
First steps.
Delano (Man at Arms) There are two main characters that a campaign can bestow experience and improvements on (The Warden and The Heritor) and a crew of basic seadogs and 4 specialists to begin with.
The project was slow to start and was based in a way that if I didn’t follow through with it they could be conscripted into a game of Blood and Plunder if needs be.
Delano is one of my Wargames Foundry minis. He will be a man at arms specialist in games. I snapped off the small sword in his left hand somehow and lost it. Replaced with a shield from a NorthStar Gnoll sprue. ?
The models
Abner and Cosmo (Crossbowmen as far as the rules go) 
Azadi Solentii (My Warden) and Kingley Thatchdagger (My Heritor) I already had some minis in mind and soon had them based and primed. I will be slowly working through the paint jobs and my plastic kitbashed crew to give me my full 10 man warband.
To make sure I can get a game I might even make a 2nd warband.
