About this deal

I got into Frostgrave because of a Google search. I was looking for bulk cultist minis for a dungeons and dragons campaign I was running and this popped up. I never ended up needing the cultists (players having free will and all), but I kept looking at that box of minis every so often. When I decided to leave another war game (you know the one, with the massive armies and a book or three to buy for each army), I naturally looked at Frostgrave because of this really cool box of minis. Down the rabbit hole we go. . . .

The sprues are produced by Renedra, as well, and each one includes five bodies, 16 heads, and a lot of weapon choices And as an extra bonus, the Cultist plastic frame includes heads and arms to convert your Soldiers or Cultists into skeletons and Zombies. True Frostgrave Undead! Perfect to represent your ‘risen from the dead’ ex-soldiers. The ability to mix and match pieces from this set to other sets means that you can get maximum use out of weapons, shields, and heads you might have liked in another box you have. A few of the heads look pretty good on soldier bodies as well. We start out with the five different bodies. All of them are more worn down than the soldiers, the clothes are closer to rags. I did a comparison with different other plastic kits, like Fireforge (historical range) and Gripping Beast in the old review of the soldiers, but I think it is of help here as well. The cultists sprue has a few additional bits, that go very properly with the Thaw of the Lich King idea, so you can build with the included bits a few undead encounters, like Zombies or Skeletons. Simply by using the bodies but replacing the arms with the bone or gaunted ones.And as an extra bonus, the Cultist plastic frame includes heads and arms to convert your Soldiers or Cultists into skeletons and Zombies. True Frostgrave Undead! Perfect to represent your \'risen from the dead\' ex-soldiers.

I already have a box of Frostgrave Soldiers and Frostgrave Cultists that I plan on using, as from what I did see in my brief skim of the rules, all the warbands are human, except for undead and Skaven. So, I figure they can work. However, until I have more time, I can't look at the rules fully. The plastic figures are 28mm sized, supplied unpainted and require assembly with glue. We recommend you use glue designed for plastic to get the best results. Showcases Our showcases show interesting products. Many are painted, some are not, but they are all neat. We do our best to inform the readers of what they are looking at so they can find the products for themselves if they are interested. When I saw this box art, I had to have it. The box art looks so cool and I already have a collection of Modern Cultists. Might as well have some fantasy Cultists too.

New Female Barbarian Miniatures!!!

If you have some bits at hand to create a command section, you could use these with Kings of War or Oathmark to build some living units for the evil or undead armies. Especially at the price, you get a 4 by 5 rank & file unit for 20 GBP RRP. And as always with Frostgrave, get a box, trade in a sprue or two against one from another kit, like the Gnolls or Barbarians. And as an extra bonus, the Cultist plastic frame includes heads and arms to convert your Soldiers or Cultists into skeletons and Zombies. True Frostgrave Undead! Perfect to represent your 'risen from the dead' ex-soldiers.

Cultists feature in Thaw of the Lich Lord as opponents in the scenarios and as random encounters. They should also be used as the soldiers for Warbands of evil wizards, especially ones who&apostrophe;ve embraced Lichdom. This kit doesn't just make cultists. You could make more undead with this kit than cultists if you wanted to.

Frostgrave is a game of Wizards, battling through a ruined frozen city in search of magical artefacts. Osprey Games and North Star Military Figures have teamed up to bring you a range of specifically designed miniatures to use with Frostgrave. Frostgrave is (c) Osprey Games 2020 Frostgrave Miniatures are (c) North Star Military Figures and Osprey Games 2020. Cultists feature in Thaw of the Lich Lord as opponents in the scenarios and as random encounters. They should also be used as the soldiers for Warbands of evil wizards, especially ones who\'ve embraced Lichdom. In case you aren't feeling the math, here is the maximum of what you could make of each mercenary type from a single box. Obviously with some good cuts you could easily make a number of other mercenaries or monsters.

The Frostgrave Cultists box set contains enough parts to make 20 different figures. There are multiple heads, arms, weapons and accoutrements per frame, no two warbands will ever be the same. In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising.

For an observant reader, they may realize that I have only displayed 15 figures in this showcase (not 20). I actually kept a Sprue of 5 figures aside waiting for new books in case a new soldier type emerges that I would like to build with a cultist theme. To end up my article, I would like to show off some other North Star Military Figures for Forstgrave that are not part of the Cultist Boxed Set. Cultists feature in Thaw of the Lich Lord as opponents in the scenarios and as random encounters. They should also be used as the soldiers for Warbands of evil wizards, especially ones who've embraced Lichdom.The kit is really designed to make a bestiary for Thaw of the lich lord and not a warband. It's not that you can't make a great warband with it, but you are going to have a tough time making some mercenaries. The regular Cultist boxes cover the bits and pieces to build 20 miniatures for your Frostgrave warband, spread across 4 identical sprues of 5 models each. In addition you get 20x 25mm round bases by Renedra in there. These sculpts are pretty darn interesting. These sculpts have a slightly anachronistic middle eastern vibe going on. The garb is very flowing and the swords have a curve to them. I wish the massive mace and the axe hand weapon had followed this motif, they seem quite brutal, but they don't have the morose flair. I can't help but look at some of the fully hooded heads and not think of an unsavory organization. They're cultists, no one said they should be based on the good guys. If I have any real criticism of the sprues it's that some of the heads were attached to the sprue in a manner that was less than ideal.
