Amazons for Frostgrave and more

I like to theme my warbands for FGA. One of the Warbands I used for my Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago game is Amazons! Made by Crocodile Games during a Kickstarter, they are now available in their webstore.



I didn't get in on the Kickstarter but stumbled across some images of them on a forum somewhere. As soon as I saw them I wanted them. The game they are made for is a big battle game, so not really sold as Warband size, however I did email them and they would do a special order if I wanted for a small number of figures.

I didn't go that route cause I loved the figures so much I orderd the Starter set, and 2 or 3 more units. I want an army of these brilliant figures. They are still processing the Kickstarter so not all the figures are up on the website, I know they have cavalry models as well.

With the sales pitch out of the way(not cause I have a vested interest, just being a massive wargaming nerd) Here are the pics.


 My FGA warband. I only used 8 figures to keep the 10 player game simpler.

My Heritor.

 My Warden.

 Specialist Freebooter.

 Specialist Archer

 For standard crew I used 4 Swordswomen. After the convention Historicon, I painted up the rest of the figures to make a full 10 figure unit.

The figures are very detailed and are a joy to paint. If I wasn't trying to work on 37 projects at once I"d be painting more right now.

Cheers, Xin

I couldn't wait any longer

There are only a few days left to get in on North Stars Nickstarter for Frostgrave: Ghost Archipelago.



I wanted to get painting so I decided to make a warband out of GW's Corsairs of Umbar. I had a few figures lying around including Dalamyr the Fleet Master. I bought the Captain and Bo'sun from a great guy on TMP and I ordered a new box from Games Workshop.

Dalamyr was missing his sword. I used a Frostgrave Cultists blade to replace it. And I had too many archers. So again the Cultist box helped me turn an archer into a spreamen.  The painted figures I bought years ago at convention, they will get repainted so all the figures match. I won't start painting till the rest of the crew arrives, but this gives me a good jump.



Hopefully I should get the rest of the figures today or tomorrow.

Cheers, Xin
