Northstar Miniatures: Fantasy Frostgrave Crowdfunding Campaign to Hit Fifth Spend Goal!


Northstar Miniatures: I think we'll be hitting Spend Goal 5 this evening in the Frostgrave Nickstarter. More free stuff, more new models. Check the ongoing campaign here.


Also found this on the creatures of Frostgrave: What kind of non-player monsters can we expect in the setting? I want to check my unpainted lead for some that might be useful for the game.

  • 6 types of undead (skeletons, zombies, ghouls etc.).
  • 9 types of animal, including the fabled 'white gorillas' and the previously shown Ice Toad. Generally, think cold climes.
  • 3 types each of construct (small, medium, large) and demon (imp, minor, major). If you really want to cause chaos, give demons spells!
  • 4 miscellaneous creatures (including my favourite - Snow Trolls).

Essentially, anything you have in your lead pile can probably find a home, even if there is no specific category for it. Even if there are no quick 'counts-as' options, you should be able to use one of the existing monsters as a starting point. As the wandering monsters are a threat to all players, it's easy enough to build something from scratch without worrying too much about balance (between players, if not within the scenario!) - unless you create a super-duper Undead monster for a game in which your opponent has "Control Undead", you're not going to go too far wrong. Oh, and then there's Thaw of the Lich Lord...
