Northstar Miniatures previewed the sprue for the upcoming plastic Frostgrave Gnolls and they look splendid, better than I had expected to be honest!
In the pictures you can see the front and back of the Frostgrave Gnoll warriors which are part of the new Frostgrave Into the Breeding Pits expansion by Osprey Games and Northstar Miniatures. As with their previously released Frostgrave Soldiers and Frostgrave Cultists boxed sets, these miniatures are hard-plastic and scaled 28mm heroic. Unlike the previously released boxed sets, which were sculpted by Bob Naismith, these gnolls and the following Frostgrave Forgotten Pacts plastic barbarians are sculpted by Giorgio Bassani.

Note that following pictures are from the test frame and do not show the full detail of the actual production sprues. problems which occured on these sprues have been corrected to give you the best quality of plastic miniatures possible in partnership with the experienced team over at Renedra.
In the pictures we can clearly see five bodies of which two have seperate legs to allow for more poses and dynamic options. The sprue looks to contain ten heads giving you plenty of options for creating unique warband members. Most of the sprue is filled with both close and ranged combat weapons, looking at these you will be able to easily create all the options you need to play a Frostgrave warband (which is quite obvious as these were made to support Frostgrave). The weapons include bows, crossbows, spears, two-handed swords, flails, axes but also some shields and small decoration items such as pouches.
Was going to skip this Nickstarter but I'm already regretting I didn't join in the beginning which would have qualified me for discounts! But I will now certainly grab a box of these for use in Frostgrave or other fantasy settings. These miniatures in boxed sets of 20 gnolls will retail for around £20.00 if I'm not mistaken.
