TODAY I would like to share the first handful of models I have painted for my Frostgrave warband. Fortunately for my wallet these chaps were already forming a strata in my meagre lead hillock, as were many of the others I am pressing into service for the game. Carefully excavated and then attacked with the hairy wand, they work splendidly as hirelings - or 'soldiers' in game parlance - who assist your wizard and apprentice in their looting of the ruined metropolis. These mercenaries don't gain experience or advance and their attrition rate can be alarmingly high (as I have learnt after only three games!), so I shall resist naming 'em for the time being. This quartet of death-dealing swords-for-hire represent two types of soldier: the three in coat-of-plates are 'men-at-arms', whilst the plate-armoured fellow is a 'templar'; the latter being a particularly nasty bugger. Our group has another game planned for a week Saturday so with any luck I may get some more lead painted-up and even be able to field a 100 percent finished warband!
