Northstar Miniatures: 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. There are also a selection of 'specialist' soldiers a wizard can recruit in Frostgrave, each with their own abilities, but cost a bit more to 'employ'. We have eight metal models of these ready for the launch of the game, the two below are the Thief and the Barabarian that Mark Copplestone has made for the range.
There is a misunderstanding in some corners of the web that our Frostgrave Soldiers are by Fireforge Games. All Frostgrave figures are North Star, including the new plastics. What we did do, with the blessing of our chums at Fireforge, is to paint up their Foot Sergeants to use as Soldiers in the rulebook. Here's some Kev did earlier with an Enchanter.
