Frostgrave treasure

I finished this load of treasure off last weekend but have only just got round to posting a pic or 3.

These were purchased at Colours last year but made it on to my paint desk a couple of weeks ago. They are from Ainsty Castings and were in a pack called treasure piles, 6 Radom pieces for a fiver.





Thanks for dropping bye

Frostgrave zombies

Just a quick post to show some Zombies I've painted recently. They came as part of the nickstarter and if I remember rightly they were from mantic games. Nice models with good detail.

As for the painting you will see that they have different shades of skin. This was down to not having painted Zombies before and a little bit of experimenting with the washes. The one on the bottom right had a vellejo flat flesh with a mixed games workshop wash of red and nuln oil black. The other two had a cote d'arms flesh and a mixed wash of drakenhof nightshade and bel-ta green. One more green the other more blue. 


I enjoyed painting these so I might have to get in to the Zombie scene !

Thanks for taking a look.

Frostgrave beasts

Just realised I've not blogged in April yet and even though I had a 50th and my son's 8th to celebrate I've managed a few bits of painting. 
Today's offering are a couple of snow trolls and some old games workshop snow cats from my lead mountain.



The snow trolls were washed with games workshop sepia but I was happier with the grey wash I used  on the snow cats. I remember that next time I'm painting white.



Right back to the paint desk had an issue with a new can of matt spray varnish and the backs of 2 Frostgrave figures. Now grey !

Thanks for stopping by.

Frostgrave odds

I managed to finish these two figures in amongst the house painting. They are both Northstar figures, the first is either a knight or Templar and the other a frost wraith. Nice figures with little flash or mold lines and they painted up well.





Sorry about the picture quality and thanks for dropping by.

Frostgrave ghoules

Just finished these mantic ghoules which came with the previous posts skeletons.  These were nice figures to paint up and came with less mould lines. Have a look at wargamer girls blog as she has just about completed 16 of these and they're looking good.

I've a week of now but the boss has other type of painting in mind - undercoating, gloss and emulsion. Walls and ceiling and woodwork !

Take care all.

Undead

I've been having a few problems with blogger and have not been able to read my usual posts. I think it's down 2 dashboard opening up in Google. I can't scroll down the list of everyone's post and can only read one or two post visible on the screen. Not sure how to get around this but if you have any ideas I'll be really grateful. 

Anyway for this weekends blog I have some undead figures which came as a freebie with the Lich Lord Kickstarter. They are mantic figures that painted up nicely though there are a lot of mould Lines on these figures.


Apologies for not commenting on your blogsbut I hope this will sort itself out soon.
Thanks for stopping by

Overlord show - Abingdon. Swag


I spent a couple of hours at Abingdon's Overlord show this afternoon with my eldest boy.  We made a b-ine for the bring and buy and picked up some reasonably priced 40k plastic figures for my lad. We had a good look at the traders and a few of the games. I came back with a few items, a couple of new snow trolls from EMP Games, a forgotten Realms ruin and a few 28mm figures from Hero's of the Dark Age. They had some really nice fantasy/adventurers figures just right for a Frostgrave warband - shame they forgot to bring some of the stock with them !

As usual thanks for stopping by.
