About the Project

I'm aiming to paint up everything I have for Frostgrave. Once we can start meeting people indoors again, a few friends and I are going to dip back into the gaming side of the hobby with second edition so it seems like an excellent time to spruce up and finish off.

Preamble

A little later than I’d intended but here we go, the project for SCC 2021.

Frostgrave is one of my favourite games of the last few years and I spent a lot of time last year playing through all the solo stuff I could find (and making some up). I even started a conversion of the world and the adventures to run with 5th Edition D&D to try and pull more people into the world.

Recently we’ve had some very honest discussions about social wariness in a post-Covid Scotland amongst my gamer friends. The idea of going back to playing at clubs or in venues with a bunch of strangers just isn’t doing it for any of us so we’ve decided that, for the first while at least, we’ll stick to a small campaign in each other’s flats. With second edition out, it’s a great time to try and bring in some new players.

What needs done - Terrain

Since being stuck at home, I’ve largely been playing with unpainted terrain and proxying a lot of the monsters for the various encounters. Having to show things to other people is the prompt to get it all painted up.

Here’s what I’m working on:

As you can see, it is a mix of plastic kits, some old resin pieces and some poorly scratch built stuff thrown together last year from a foam floor tile and foamcore I had around the house.

The first aim is to get the plastic kits painted up. I hate painting terrain so I’ll mix in painting the minis to break the monotony. More on the minis next post
