I was in a hobby store recently and they're selling a whole end cap of this stuff.  Rules, blister packs of figures, the boxes of plastic figures.  And once again I've resisted the temptation. :icon_lol:

I was on a trip into Boston, the store is called, "The Hobby Bunker".  Their website has the rule books and boxes of plastic figures, and they do alot of mail order.

However, suspect if you ask them about the figures in the plastic blister packs, and you know specifically what you're going to purchase, they'll likely go to the shelf, pull it if they have it, and send those along as well.  Their customer service has always been very good.

They are probably the most extensive military miniature, brick and mortar hobby shop in the northeast, certainly in New England.

I'm going to buy some resin bases. I know it doesnt matter rules wise, aesthetically should I go for round or square?

My frostgrave warband has arrived!

Looking forward to painting them.



There are 40 different shades of black, so many fortresses and ways to attack.

So why you complaining!

thieves only have daggers, while treasure hunters have a hand weapon and dagger and better stats

I see there is a new ebook/pdf scenario available "Dark Alchemy"

https://ospreypublishing.com/frostgrave-dark-alchemy-38650

Apparently you can play it solo or with someone else on your side ............

I see also new soldiers:

Trap Expert and Tunneel Fighter.



Female Archer Captain:

I think you will need the "Sellsword" supplement to use the Captains.

I like row 1 but not row 2.

Captain's gain experience and get better, unlike other soldiers. But there are significant draw backs.

Really like row 1, and like the hammer dude in row 2. Don't care for the dog, and the far right side guy in row 2. Is he wearing some kind of mask or something?

That captain is fantastic.
