IN THE SPOTLIGHT - FROSTGRAVE

i stumbled upon a few of the minis for this game over the last few weeks. and have really liked the look of them. got a nice old school feel to them. (im guessing the aid of mark copplestone helped there)
NORTH STAR MILITARY FIGURES
this game i dont believe is out yet but from searching on their facebook page i believe this is going to be available around june/july
i know very little of the game. but my understanding is its got kind of a mordheim vibe about it.
with small scale skirmishes with bands of wizards and mercenaries at their aid.

"Long ago, the great city of Felstad sat at the centre of a magical empire. Its towering spires, labyrinthine catacombs and immense libraries were the wonder of the age, and potions, scrolls and mystical items of all descriptions poured from its workshops. Then, one cataclysmic night, a mistake was made. In some lofty tower or dark chamber, a foolish wizard unleashed a magic too powerful to control. A storm rose up, an epic blizzard that swallowed the city whole, burying it deep and leaving the empire as nothing more than a vast, frozen wasteland. The empire shattered, and the magic of the world faded. As the centuries came and went, Felstad passed from history to legend and on into myth. Only a few wizards, clinging to the last remnants of magical knowledge, still believed that the lost city had ever actually existed. But their faith was rewarded. After a thousand years, the fell winter has passed. The snows have receded, and Felstad has been uncovered. Its buildings lie in ruins, overrun by undead creatures and magical constructs, the legacy of the empire's experiments. It is an evil, dangerous place. To the few hardy souls who inhabit the nearby villages, the city has acquired a new name, 'Frostgrave', and it is shunned by all right-thinking people. For those who seek power and riches, however, it is an unparalleled opportunity, a deadly maze concealing secrets of knowledge long forgotten... This new fiction anthology collects ten stories of wizards and adventures as they venture into the ruins of the Frozen City."




well it was the mercenaries that really caught my eye
or should i say FROSTGRAVE SOLDIERS

facebook description

"What is the Frostgrave Soldiers box set all about?
This is a set of 20 plastic 28mm sized figures. Their role in the game is to accompany the Wizards into the frozen city, fight opponents and grab treasure. The player designs his own band of followers, and arms them as they wish. So our box set is designed to allow you to do that. In the box there are 4 'frames' of plastic. Each frame has:
5 bodies
10 heads
25 different arms/ weapons
2 shields
+ selection of bags & equipment.
This means you can make 100's of unique figures, no two wizards band should ever be the same."

these would make excellent henchmen by any means. and with the options available from the description hopefully a great array of henchmen can be made. maybe even a few heroes too. i would probably dip into my bits box too, and hopefully create even more variation. these will be much sought after..if not. they should be,
again i dont believe these are available YET.
but as soon as they are. i think ill be nabbing a box of these. some of the other characters for the game look excellent too

along with a barbarian in a very familiar pose :)

and many cool wizards to choose from.

looking great right? what you guys think?
