Frostgrave (almost-)all female Warband

A new warband has been sighted in the frozen city (possibly more frozen now). Aka. I finally got to paint the new Female Soldiers fron North Star. Delightful plastic kit (I might have put together a few more than strictly needed), wonderful metal specialists, and all around very nice.

First up, let me show you the metal models. All of them look incredible, and was a joy to paint with very little flashing. From left to right, we have a Templar, Knight, Barbarian, Thief, Tracker, War Hound, Markswoman and a grandmotherly Apothecary.

These four, the Templar, Knight, Barbarian and Tracker, were probably the funnest models to paint, all told. I might have to get several of these...

Now, moving on to the plastics (including a few male soldiers I had lying around)

First up, the ones with only a single hand weapon (no, the torch doesn't count... I think). To the left is a second Thief, while the spearwoman to the right could also be used as a counts-as two-handed weapon-armed model.

When you're like me, Treasure Hunters are a must. The one to the left have arms from the male soldiers kit, while the one to the right is all female. The two kits fit together even better than one would expect (and I expected them to fit together very well...). Only the fur trimming of the coat is missing.

Ranged support is also a must. Two Archers (one of them with a bronze sword strapped to the backpack, meaning she can be used as a Ranger) and a Crossbowwoman.

Three soldiers who have also aquired shields, allowing them to be used as (Wo)men-at-arms to Knights to Captains. Once again, a male soldier has snuck in.

Finally, we have the soldiers armed with two-handed weapons. Infantrymen, Barbarians, Templars... they have many names and many uses, although some are more suited for specific classes, perhaps. The fellow with the naked, muscular arms ( the third male soldier that snuck in) fits best as a Barbarian, while the lady with the big sword would make an excellent Templar, as would the halberdier in the middle. Either of them could also work very well as a Captain.

All the shields (both held, and hung over the shoulder as a nice extra thing for variety) have been painted by me, mostly in various frosty themes.

Of course, a new warband demans (at least) a new wizard and apprentice. And North Star do have these extraordinarily cute lasses...

Aside from the capes, I intentionally tried to paint them close enough to a certain movie, as a challenge to myself.

Of course, some treasures are also needed. That head in the middle, is the current seat for a very valuable bird... how is it green, in the Frozen City, you ask? Because magic, that's why. The other two are what you can find lying around in the rubble and snow, a treasure chest and a pile of heavily corroded copper coins (and an equally heavily corroded bronze sword... might be magic, though).

All in all, a nice little warband. I don't think I'll need to expand it ever, and that is if we play Frostgrave again at the club (it has somewhat fallen to Ghost Archipelago).

/Fool Out, and let it go...
