Another Frostgrave entry this time a "Soldier" or adventurer as I prefer to think of them. This particular one is a Marksman (or he could work as a Crossbowman, both are soldier types in the original Frostgrave)
I put him in green leggings and shirt sleeves of the sort an 18th Century Jager or a Rifle regiment soldier of the Napoleonic wars might wear. I made his outer garment light blue, then a heavy wash followed by a white/gray dry brush to create as sort of cammo a smart warrior would wear in a snow covered land.
He's a great figure Adam. His face has loads of character and he certainly looks the business in his winter camo, crossbow up, ready to feather some fierce reindeer or some poor fat sod in a red suit clambering around on rooftops. ;o)
5 points for you. Well done.
Lovely job Adam.
ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteWelcome to the snowy waste of Frostgrave. A terrific addition to your force. If he gets tied of working for lesser wizards and want to work for an enchanter let me know!
ReplyDeleteMy wizard is an enchanted

DeleteNicely done Adam :)
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteGreat painting work. I´m very interested in the snow effect, because I´m planning my own band for "Frostgrave".
ReplyDeleteIts pretty simple I take my base cover it with white glue (I use modge podge these days) mixed with some brown paint. Then some sand or 'gravel" with a few aquarim gravel stones. Then I use my Army Painter snow flock and some army painter tufts finish things off (I think I used "Highland Turf" in this case). Some times I put a little static grass on befor the snow if I want to get the look of snow covering grass. Next time I am basing I will try and get some step by step photos and post them on my blog Juan.

DeleteI really like this one, Adam! His camouflage cloak turned out really well!
ReplyDeleteits sort of like a gun right :)
DeleteIndeed! But I truly like the cloak, a fellow stalker! ;)
DeleteInteresting figure. The hat and face remind my of US Cavalry for some reason.
ReplyDeleteHe does have sort of an "old west look"
DeleteThis guy looks like a veteran of several ventures into Frostgrave. Very nice, Adam.
ReplyDeleteHe has a distinctly "Old West" feel to him--I had to look twice at the crossbow. A really great character!
ReplyDeletethanks
