#TripleSprueChallenge

A few weeks ago, Osprey Publishing announced the 'Triple Sprue Challenge' here.  The contest says that you must create three figures - a wizard, an apprentice, and a captain - from only three sprues...only the Frostgrave Soldiers, Cultists, and Barbarians.  The winner and some runners up will get the new Ghost Archipelago swag....

I havent entered yet, but I will soon.  The following three are my contributions.

The wizard.  An elementalist....he is holding a flame.

The apprentice.  Holding a stack of books and a genie lamp.

And, finally, the captain.  Dual weapons.

A couple more barbarians

Im accumulating quite a horde!

Another Frostgrave barbarian

Lots of hair and fur on these guys make it a tough slog...but fun to paint

And a previous figure with the grey backdrop

Frostgrave barbarian

I didnt feel like setting up the camera, photo box, etc....so a quick phone snap...

Statues can be creepy, so this is 'bad'

A test of GW's 'verdigris' effect paint

Northman

Bonus figure from the Gnoll Frostgrave kickstarter.  Pretty cool fig except his fist is as big as his head....

Frostgrave gnoll minion

I must admit, I was watching an Argentinian National Team soccer game while I was painting this....

Lionel Gmessi?

Archer #2

Another muslim archer painted for Frostgrave

Muslim archer painted for Frostgrave instead

Im not a big fan of resin miniatures - seem too brittle or something (in fact, this guy lost a thumb in the clean up process and I had to sculpt another on!) but the minis from Fireforge are really nice, and make great stand ins for Frostgrave figures

Barbarian Gnoll

I got in on the 'Nickstarter' for Frostgrave gnolls.  They are fine figures, but Im such a sucker....I love getting in on these early deals!

Anyway, first up is the Barbarian Gnoll.  Didnt quite turn out as expected, but hey, its my first gnoll!

Another War Hound

Somewhere along the line, I picked up several war dogs.  I THINK this is the last of 'em

Spearman 2

Another crony for Frostgrave

Spearman 1

A Fireforge 'City Militia' man, painted for Frostgrave

Treasure markers

A few random 'treasures' I had sitting around that needed to be painted.  A nice change of pace!

Female Barbarian

Not your typical bikini clad female (awwwww too bad!).  Based for Frostgrave.

A couple Frostgrave treasure markers

Check back tomorrow for a mini im really excited about.  Here is a hint:

Another Frostgrave cronie

With a large broadsword

Frostgravers with new snow recipe

Same figures as the past few days, but with a different 'snow' recipe.

Female ranger

This one is gonna be based for Frostgrave too, so she isnt quite finished yet.  Like yesterday's post, waiting on some materials for a new recipe for snow.

More Frostgravies

A couple more cultists - not QUITE done yet.  I got a new recipe for snow that Im gonna try out, and waiting on the products to arrive.  But, all painted....
