Frostgrave Board

 I finally have enough terrain 3d Printed to fill a 3' x 3' board for Frostgrave.



Now, if it stops raining I can get the last bits undercoated and painted.

Using LOTR figures to make up the soldiers I think I also have enough figures for 2 bands for a playtest game as well...

Warfare Demo Game






 

 

The Guildford Club are running a Sealion style game at Warfare in November in 20mm and this has made me finally put some paint to some new figures.  I am about the only person in the club with early war 20mm ww2 so it looks like we will use quite a lot of my collection.
 
I have almost finished the Raventhorpe Home Guard characters set and knocked together a van from a Frontline Wargames Delivery Van - its a bit rough but will probably pass muster...

Just need to tidy up, varnish and then properly base them

Been a while

 I caught Covid for the first time shortly after my last post in April and it made me fairly ill for a couple of weeks.  it also knocked my rhythm out and I really lost my "mojo" for doing anything on the hobby including painting or terrain making.

I did managed some more terrain just before I got Covid.






This shows a 2' x 2' board with the terrain so far.  I have since painted a couple more ruins so getting close to having a 3' x 3' board ready for a game.



I also added some initial roads to the hex terrain - as I realised I needed some roads that could go over hills.

I finally played a game on the hex terrain last week - a One Hour Wargames FPW game.

I have been doing some commission work and have been making some Toy Soldier style Zulu Wars terrain of a fort and a wagon laager for Anthony as well as working on some movements trays, etc for people at the Guildford Club.

But I have struggled to get on with anything of my own.

The painting table as a bunch of 15mm ACW buildings to be finished, 40mm AWI and some 25mm Marlburians that need blacklining but I can't raise the enthusiasm at the moment.
