About the Project
Northstar Barbarians got a new lease of life and finally got some paint thrown their way. I had always meant to paint up my barbarians that I got with the Forgotten Pacts book for Frostgrave, but beyond building a few it escaped my attention for some time. The Stargrave Hope Eternal book requires some barbarians and this gave me the prerequisite 2 reasons to paint them.

Fun posing
I found it fun and easy to play with the posing, grabbing a helmet I believe to be from the Frostgrave Soldiers box and putting it on a Barbarian bald head. It looked too big, but rather than remove it, I played to the fact that it was too big and have him trying to adjust the helmet with his axe.
Wanted some variety so went for a double handed weapon cut down to a single handed weapon and making it look like he is slapping it into his hand to feel the weight and preparing to bash someone with it.First attempt
I enjoyed the first bit of building these minis so much that i put together a dozen and primed them Army Paint Monster Brown before I even checked what sort of mix of weapon types I might need to play with.Apart from this guy, the rest of the minis lay built primed and unloved in a box. The Nortstar lego aspect of these great plastic sets meant that the Barbarian heads, arms and accoutrements have been used to make Gnolls, Plague Marines and a variety of other kitbashes, but until recently the brown unloved minis lay dormant.
The book cover effort
I could have tried harder to match the cover art but I am happy with this kitbash. If nothing else he will make a great leader for my Barbarians in Frostgrave or Stargrave Hope Eternal if required.
I like the shoulder pads. They are snipped off Mantic Dwarf beards. Lol. The shirt could have been a green brown like the pic. Could have hunted around for a better chest plate. Could have popped some horns / spikes like in the pic, but as I say. For not a lot of effort it gets quite close and I am happy.The Folio book Nickstarter came with the mace arm and the head in metal and I used one of the Barbarian bodies and some Mantic Games Undead axeheads as his chest plates.
