It's a pity, that the fingers are not well elaborated. could be perfect.
One of the big wigs... once told them "If a household doesn't have an income of $70,000, we don't consider them a GW target customer."

And all these brands can't manage to make the same excellent horses as GW, which only shows how good sculpts are GW horses, hands down, they are probaly still the best on the market.

Dropping the scroll is like the medieval/fantasy version of dropping the mic.

Saw Kev Adams at Salute - apparently he'[s adding to his Mercenary Orcs and Ogres range:
Some 11 new sculpts being worked on:

One very dodgy picture of one he brought along:

Oh and while we're talking of Salute, and still on the same page - here's some 3-Ups of the plastic henchmen figures Renedra are doing for Frostgrave:






Dodgy pics from my phone, but you get the idea.

They really are nice. Good for the more rural regions of the Warhammer World. Mind you, considering all the different RW periods my figures come from, I reckon you can incorporate all sorts of RL historical types.

There is no warhammer world, Chaos consumed it all!!!!!!
There are 40 different shades of black, so many fortresses and ways to attack.

So why you complaining!

That happens sometime in the high fantasy future. For me, at least.

There will always be an Empire and an Old World. At least at my gaming table.  :smile2:

I like those. I wonder if they will mix well with GW militia/Mordheim bits.

I like the paint job a lot - good choice of colours, like faded natural dyes.

They are supposed to scale well with the fireforge plastic medieval infantry, as they are sculpted by the same person.  I have some of the fireforge medieval troops, they are a bit finer in scale than the GW militia, but I do think you can mix them fairly well.  The GW militia are pretty bulky to begin with.  I would suggest the fireforge foot troops scale fairly well with the 5/6th ed plastic empire halberdiers/swordsmen.
If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason. - J.H.

More pics of the Frostgrave stuff.

Artwork for the plastics henchmen box.




Quote
What is the Frostgrave Soldiers box set all about?
 This is a set of 20 plastic 28mm sized figures. Their role in the game is to accompany the Wizards into the frozen city, fight opponents and grab treasure. The player designs his own band of followers, and arms them as they wish. So our box set is designed to allow you to do that. In the box there are 4 'frames' of plastic. Each frame has:
 5 bodies
 10 heads
 25 different arms/ weapons
 2 shields
 + selection of bags & equipment.
 This means you can make 100's of unique figures, no two wizards band should ever be the same.

Group shot



Apparently there will also be some extra metal figures.

Quote
There are also a selection of 'specialist' soldiers a wizard can recruit in Frostgrave, each with their own abilities, but cost a bit more to 'employ'. We have eight metal models of these ready for the launch of the game, the two below are the Thief and the Barbarian that Mark Copplestone has made for the range.

This would be much more interesting if it wasn't for the winter theme. I really dislike their clothing.

I like the concept with these but something just feels off about the stance and proportions.. it's like they're all about to bust out some heavy squats at the gym. They also seem too heavy somehow. But it's a really good idea.
