Frostgrave - Churning them out

I'm stepping up my painting speed now as i realise that you actually 'need' a decent amount of minis, terrain, objectives etc to play Frostgrave.

I want to ride this train of motivation , but knowing how fleeting it is, i'm willing to let quality/detail slip a bit to get things in a tabletop ready state.

I'm lining up my excuses early, and i would like to think that i'll come back and do some tidying up, pick out some details, paint the eyes, etc. at some point, but that could be another 20 years from now!

Ironically i have all i need to play Star Wars themed Frostgrave right now, with my imperial assault collection, but keen to get the vanilla game finished first, before i go learning a modded version.

It does appeal to my sense of minimalism to have one system that plays in fantasy/medieval, jungle/lost world, and sci-fi. Saving room in my brain for other things!

I do feel another audit coming up soon however, with the guilt of buying 10 or so sprues of minis and another box worth of terrain, i think something will have to go.
Unpainted 40k stuff could be first on the chopping block, as well as any surplus terrain.

So for now, here are some *nearly* finished barbarians, wizards and their apprentices, a thief, some blue dinosaurs(?!) and a werewolf (he will definitely be getting some more paint before going into the box)

Frostgrave - Strange times

Its fair to say times are a bit strange at the moment.

Many hobbyists are thriving with extra time at home to focus on projects. 

Oddly, i'm busier than ever at work, so i'm really having to force myself to take some time to do a bit of hobby time.

My office space is also my hobby room, so it's difficult to form barriers but i realise that i'm lucky have the space, and indeed a job at the moment, so mustn't grumble!

Despite all my efforts to 'minimise' my library of games, and my collection of models and terrain, i have slipped a little!

And by a little, i mean I've jumped head first into Frostgrave and Ghost Archipelago, my justification being that i already had the rule book, some minis and some terrain, so might as well flesh it out to have enough to play with.

I picked up a bunch of the official Northstar sprues for minis, as well as some Wargames Atlantic skeletons, and various other toys for creatures, none of this broke the bank, which was nice. I also made some terrain for specific scenarios, but where i splurged was on a new game mat and some resin pre-painted terrain from gamemat.eu. On the face of it, an expensive and unnecessary addition to my already bulging shelves, but i blame boredom!

It's fair to say our X-Wing campaign is on hiatus at the moment, so i'm tentatively looking at getting the other half involved in some Frostgrave, which partially justifies my recent efforts :)

In addition i'll dump some photos below of everything since my last post, which isn't much!

Starting with some 'baddies' or wandering monsters, and even some epic too, just to keep on-brand with the blog!
