Frostgrave Knights (for Oathmark)

 The Frostgrave Knights box set (covered here) builds eight figures. The bodies are compatible with the Oathmark range and provide an opportunity to build command figures.

This knight uses the closed helm from the Oathmark Human Infantry set.

He has also had a large pouch added.

The second Knight is for the kingdom that uses the Brodie style helmet. This is the Gladiator style helmet from Anvil Industries. This required the neck hole to be opened up using a 3mm drill.

The standard hand weapon for the infantry is the mace, so this knight is also armed with a mace.

Frostgrave Knight

 With Warband Two being led by an Illusionist, one of the spells is Illusionary Soldier. It makes sense to have the most well protected soldier as the figure is dispelled when it takes any damage.

This Knight is built using one of the bodies from the Soldiers II sprue, a Sallet head from the Frostgrave Knights set, an Oathmark Human Officer/Champion  sword arm and an Oathmark Human shield arm.

There might be a scabbard if any of the existing scabbards would take the length of the sword.

Frostgrave Wizards II

The Frostgrave Wizards II box set allows the building of eight female wizards for use in Frostgrave or other fantasy games.

 The box contains two identical sprues. Each sprue has four different bodies and an assortment of heads and arms. There are a number of additional items such as flasks, pouches and books, plus a rat, cat and bird as familiars.

Together with the release of Frostgrave Second Edition, North Star has released a box set of ten plastic multi-part knights. The box has the new Second Edition logo.

 Unlike the previous Soldier box sets, this box will only build ten figures. The box contains two sprues. Each sprue has five more obviously armoured bodies and a wide assortment of heads.

 There are a range of hand weapons plus two handed weapons (including a flail), one bow and two crossbow.

And, most important of all, a rubber chicken.

Not Colours 2020 - part one

What with "One thing or the Other", Colours (along with a lot of other things) has been cancelled.

Having been inspired by my recent purchase of Oathmark and the release of Frostgrave II (though that is a story for another day), I put in an order to North Star for a quantity of Oathmark and Frostgrave goodies (plus lots of bases).

 As I have posted previously, I am basing my human sized Oathmark and Frostgrave figures on Renedra round bases (they are nicer for skirmish games). Oathmark works on 25mm square bases with five figures per rank.

Renedra have two sets of "sabot" bases for 25mm round figure bases, one of two ranks (ten figures) and one of four ranks (twenty figures)

 You get two sprues (four sabot bases) per pack.

Even the Gnolls (probably the most unruly of the Frostgrave figures) sit nicely in the sabot base (even if the "officer" is slightly out of position on the overhead view).
