Frostgrave Warband

Large Construct made from a broken Mantic Games abyssal dwarf lesser obsidian golem and my bits box.

The Abyssal Dwarf Lesser Obsidian Golem came in a fantasy bargin box from Mantic Games a couple of years ago. I started to build them, then they got broken and I seem to have somehow lost some parts. I always thought I would find a use for at least one of them.

The base has a Mantic Skeleton sprue bundle of bones, an Mantic Orc head (gargoyle?), a Mantic dwarf head (from a broken statue?) and off cuts of sprue as crumbled masonry.

I imagine that all my wizard’s Constructs are last minute creations from whatever parts are available at hand. Very much the Macgyver of Enchanters.

The belly is meant to be some kind of oven or stove with a grate, but perhaps it looks more like cell bars.

The head is just a Mantic dwarf head, with the blood from the statue’s eyes to be in keeping with the blood from the Small Construct’s eyes.

The swords and spear protruding from the missing arm are explained in my head by the enchanter getting his rushed animation spell slightly wrong; with the nearest weapons and a banner being bound into the spell instead of some intended rocks adjacent to them.

I still need to decide what design I might put on the banner. Maybe a simple blue stripe down the middle and some specks of blood.

The metal grey and the rock grey I intended didn’t really go together well. No contrast just made it look lazy and uninspired. So I rusted up the metal a touch with a GW orange and GW rhino hide brown and used Citadel Camoshade wash on the stone and it helped define things a little better. The patches of blue green dots, to try and give a better rock feel, was with nighthaunt contrast paint.
