Frostgrave terrain for local club campaign April 2026

So I figured it was easier shown than talking about what I have done above!
Honestly this thing is so lovely and I cannot wait to get it painted.

I have decided to do somewhat a mini review right here in case anyone reading this wants to get this kit.

First off- The instructions were about a 6/10. It felt like kromlech could have done a better job by giving a key to their colour coded assembling.

With purple being optional (I left some off from the rampart walkway for instance where there are cracks on the path you glue panels onto. Now makes it look like a huge drop as its entirely black. I found out that green is first, then red and then purple.

However they mix up between primary and secondary in their diagrams. whether it be just a simple right angled wall join OR combining three seperate pieces to form a supporting piece.

I found this incredibly frustrating and pva glue being long time to set was perfect for fixing issues even after the pre-dry fit.

There are few if any other reference material online from people using this kit, so a huge drawback to see where certain pieces go. Sure you can ask forums but I would rather not wait weeks for a ‘good’ reply.

Regarding references such as letters and numbers to what pieces to punch out this was not an issue. I had no problems simply punching out the mdf components one at a time. If I had a team I would probably punch, sand and do all the preparation beforehand but it is a lot easier keeping them in the frame.

In terms of customisation, I think its medium difficulty for the hobbyist. There are things to consider such as game pieces moving, flanking ect.

There honestly is not a lot of room to play around with for example the staircases, placing rubble on the large stone steps could make it uneven for bases to sit. It is something when I am up to priming this piece I will consider adding. I will address all of these in a later post in January. Including the original ideas posted.

As for let downs. I would say the biggest let down is the gatehouse fortification at the front. This is where I intend to put the hinged door behind and make it walkable (if I get time). This is a big job, not only is the pathway meant to be blocked but the fortification base is slanted and hollow. It will need to be filled (I intend to use the scrap mdf and wood glue with a cut out flat piece on top.

I understand it is probably done because it is a prime position to put archers on the wall. I would argue that with magic spells such as Fog, Blind, Leap and the amount of ruins around it would make little difference. Since this was a specifically made for the game Frostgrave 2nd edition. I believe it was not taken into account properly.

A big bonus for me also was the exclusive custom scenario in the box, which I was incorporate into my campaign.

There was also only one piece that did not fit properly (it was assembled correctly) however was easily fixed with a scalpel knife.

Finally I would like to add. They need to rehire and get a new person for Kromlechs stock photo terrain pieces. They look so tiny in scale to the real item. The perfect example was the Eventide Fireplace, go have a look at the stock image and then look it up on youtube. (Its roughly a 12” High fireplace.)

Overall the terrain is far more positive than negative and I would be buying more in the future once I get this stuff painted. In the meantime There is a lot of sub assembly and I will be focusing my efforts on the ruins first and then spend most of January getting this piece complete.
