With Frostgrave 2nd edition coming out, there is talk of it starting up at my LGS again. Not sure when exactly but I picked up a copy of the book and I'm already started looking at minis for my warband.
At first I was going to pick up some new Reaper Bones dwarves because they've got a few that are packed full of character! I mean a butcher as one the thugs? Perfect! But I decided that I should do the responsible thing... and I'm going to field my Trollbloods instead.
I've been sitting on most of these minis for years now and it will be great to be able to use them. I had initially gotten into them back in Hordes 1st edition but they were really just a ho-hum faction at that time. Tons of character in the models but gameplay was pretty blah. Then they went to Mark II and yeah, that was enough for me.
Still love the minis though and I'm looking forward to finally having a reason to get some paint onto them! I had planned on painting up the lot and then posting but considering how slow they've been progressing I've decided to show them off one at a time. So without further ado, here is the first of my Trollblood warband!
This model was a test and also let me knock the rust off the painting gears again. Given the size of the typical Trollkin mini this is a really good use for them! This particular figure is one of the stone scribes that come with the krielstone bearer though in this case he will be filling the role of man-at-arms in my warband. I'm happy with how the figure turned out overall and I'm looking forward to moving on to the next one soon.
Plus I might even start working on some terrain pieces as well. Our LGS is very GW centric so I'd like to bring in some pieces that are all skulls and gothic architecture just to mix things up. I'll have to see how it pans out but think it will be fun. Until next time...
