Chilled to the bone

(25/01/2016) Have done a bit of a repaint and rebase on these half dozen 28mm plastic skeletons that I picked up from a bring and buy a few years ago. Have been using them at the club Frostgrave games so thought would give them a make-over!

Lord of the Rings - Mordor Orcs

A good few years ago, before discovering the Xbox, my lad was into Games Workshop LOTR big time and, although his interest waned, I'm still wading through a large stash of unpainted Mordor and Gondor figures.

These orcs have been half done on my painting table for quite a while so during the Xmas period I decided to finish them off.................. no doubt so I can start another batch !

So here are another 24 figures completed:

Frostgrave terrain (update 25Jan2016)

(07/01/16) As usual I've been side tracked from my 'current' project, the Aliens game, by something else!

This time it's Frostgrave, which is gaining a foothold at the Berkeley Vale Club, but for which most of the terrain is somewhat de-frosted! I've therefore started making a few snow effected pieces to add a suitable chill:

Cheap railway modelling trees from China (via EBay) applied to some map-terrain downloaded from Wargames Vault as a pdf and printed on semi-gloss photo paper. 

 Another pdf download, already in my library, used to make up this stone circle, again applied on top of some map terrain on photo paper.

and a frozen river, again from a pdf download printed onto A4 photo paper.

(09/01/15) another piece of terrain for the Frostgrave games...... clearly there is some long forgotten tale of woe behind these three pillars, one of which has since fallen but presumably was topped by another spearman?



(16/01/16) Some snow effect added to the pillars in my Stone Circle piece courtesy of Polyfilla, the same as used above. Whilst the effect is ok I may have to concede and buy some modelling snow as recommended by buddies at Berkeley Vale WGC:

A couple of new builds this week for Frostgrave terrain. First a pair of cardcrafted small dwellings converted from a simple box template adding an inside face to each wall, snow effect wall tops, internal snow/stone floor and collapsed roof (and some Polyfilla around the base!):

Very pleased with this next piece, again all cardcraft and from my existing library of template pdfs. The walls are from a Dungeon set downloaded from Worldworks Games whilst the tomb was a freebie downloaded many years ago but can't recall from where. The lid comes off which might be useful in some scenario! As before all added to a snow map printed on photopaper and Polyfilla snow added:

(25/01/2016) Another single terrain piece made from card for the Frostgrave games, a well of souls:
