From BillA - 28mm Frostgrave Warband (57 Points)

Here's the first of my Frostgrave figures, the warband known as "Terezinya's Tomb Robbers."  The Necromancer Terezinya and her apprentice John "Dig Me No Grave" Grymmlan lead the pack, supported by a band of orcs under the command of Boss Grug, a savage Barbarian with a double-bitted axe.  Also on display here are Terezinya's Familiar/Imp/Small Construct, "Lil' Anklebiter," and Lug-All, who will be played as either a Pack Mule or a Medium Construct, depending on the army list I end up using and if Terezinya can manage to cast the spell correctly.

Terezinya and Lil' Anklebiter are Reaper Dark Heavens #02826, sculpted by Werner Klocke; I painting this figure once before, years ago, and opted for a less tarted-up color scheme this time around.  I rarely paint the eyes on figures, because my hands just aren't steady enough, but Klocke sculpts them largely and clearly enough that I decided to try, and ended up with a Necromancer giving somebody some serious side-eye.  John Grymmlan and Lug-All are Reaper Dark Heavens #02845, sculpted by Bobby Jackson; I've been wanting to pick this set up for years now and this Frostgrave warband gave me the perfect opportunity.

The rest of the figures are built primarily from Wargames Factory Orcs, which I bought in 2014 on a whim and had never done anything with until now.  The Wargames Factory Amazons and Persians boxed sets donated a few pieces, most notably the arms on the archers.  One of the Thugs has a Persian spear and another is carrying a short sword and scabbard from the Amazon box as well.

Bases are Renedra 25mm plastic bases, dressed with Army Painter basing grit and patches of Army Painter snow.

So these twelve figures give me a leg-up on my points standing and also gives me 12 figures towards the Frostgrave Side Challenge, which I call a good start.

Nice work Bill! I like the lighting effect on Grymmlan and the weathered shield on Thug #3.  It would seem that poor Lug-All has been schlepping that casket around for a while due to the snow accumulation on the lid! Funny stuff.

I'll score 'Lil Anklebiter as a smaller figure so this warband will weigh-in at 57 points.
