Even more Monsters and Hirst Arts stuff for Frostgrave

There's been a bit of a gap since my last post. My excuse is that I've been very busy re-enacting! 

Having said that I have made a few new bits.

First up I've completed the water features on the Frostgrave boards.

Second I created a few new smaller terrain items.

Last, but not least, I've completed a few extra monsters for Frostgrave. A few Wargames Factory skeleton warriors, and three models from Reaper Bones: Ettin (to be used as a two-headed troll; Basilisk and Minotaur.

Frostgrave City Boards - Work in Progress - drybrush complete

So, it's been pretty quiet this month. August always is for me. Re-enacting takes over. Having said that there has been progress...

The Hirst Arts Gothic Church has gained a roof (it still needs windows and a door) and the Frostgrave city boards have progressed to having had their dry brushing stage completed. Next I need to detail the "canal" and also work out what to do with the garden? bits next to the slope.

I've just tried it out with some of the buildings I normally use and I think it looks pretty good. Though I think I need to make some stone walls and probably a few things like fountains and wells.

This is all being prepared for Frostgrave participation/demo games at the Derby World Wargames Show and the Fiasco show in Leeds.

Progress with Dungeon and Gothic Church

I've been busy upgrading the dungeon to work with Into The Breeding Pits. The missing parts needed were the 8 entrance ways, two on each side.

I've not quite finished them yet, they are still unpainted, but since I had some time last night I've built up the dungeon layout with all the new bits ready for the games on Monday night at COGS. I should have them ready by then.

I also got the Gothic church painted... It's still not ready though as it has no roof!

Frostgrave boards, Gothic Church and other Work in Progress

I mentioned in the last post that I also have several Hirst Arts based items currently in progress.

There's a Gothic Church, basically identical to the standard Hirst Arts one with some extra internal detailing. This will have a roof cast from the pan-tile mould. Maybe not normal for a church in the gothic style, but I like it.

Also there are a set of boards for the main Frostgrave table I'll be putting on at the Derby World Wargames in October. This will be an open chance to come and play Frostgrave. We'll have starter warbands ready and invite existing players to bring along their warbands for pickup games.

The boards are based on the MDF set from TTCombat. I have 16 boards, enough for the 3ft x 3ft and 2ft x 2ft boards at Derby and with an additional purchase of a double set I'll have enough for two 3ft x 3ft boards. (The dungeon will also be present at the Derby show.)

In addition to this I've built up the standard Small Fieldstone Bridge which will cross the small canals I have in the boards. I've also built what will probably be the last (at least for now) part of the walkway system.

Prison, Water Room, Dead Ends and Walkway Bridge

My Hirst Arts obsession continues... with a week off work to recover from a hernia operation has meant plenty of time to work on models between resting. There are loads of projects ongoing and I'll post work in progress pictures of each soon.

First up though are the completed bits which are the prison cells, dead ends and the water room for my Frostgrave dungeon, plus a large bridge for my walkway set.

(Skeletons are from the Wargames Factory Skeleton Warriors boxed set)
