From AdamC 28mm Chinese Wizards for Frosgrave (15 Points)

So one of the many awesome things about Frostgrave is you can use figures from anywhere.  So I am turning my Watchful Studios figures into a Chinese (probably pan-Asian when its done) Warband.
 These three will be the core of my Chinese Warband.  I have kept the basing free of snow so they can be used in other games where snow might not fit.
 First up is the general who I will uses as my wizard (or apprentice).  I like the striding forward drawing a weapon stance of the figure
 These are more genteel figure persons so I have kept them cleaner than I normally do going very light on the washes or omitting them entirely.
 Next we have the female general Huang Guigu based on a historic person though I have not found much about her.
 I'll use her as my apprentice (or maybe wizard I haven't decided which of these will take the lead yet).  I made here colors similar but brighter.
 Then we have the Sword Master a great figure who you could use in a number of games even modern martial arts games in a pinch.  I love how the blue pops on his back robe.
For now he'll use the Treasure Hunter template from Frostgrave but he'll be an excellent captain for this warband when that option out withe the "Sell Sword" expansion latter this month.  That's 3 more 25mm figures for another 15 points of Frostgrave miniatures. 
Terrific stuff Adam, these are some of your best figures.  The face on the wizard in red/purple is great and I really like the gold braid work on the woman.

From AdamC 25mm Drunken Kung-Fu Master (5 points)


This is the first figure I have painted up form the Watchful Studios Kick starter He's the Drunken Kung-fu master.


After I figured out were everything went he went together really well. The staff here is the item I had an issue with; I put it in his other hand initially.


He's dirty but he's supposed to be a drunken sod (with great Kung-fu mastery but still a drunken sod).


He also happens to be a late Christmas gift for my old college roommate, (the Kickstarter was supposed to deliver in November but you know how these things go) who introduced me to 18th century war gaming and we ran a fun D&D campaign along the way too. I hope he'll like this figure that is so dynamic and full of character.  He's 25mm Scale so another 5 point (I'll be doing a size comparison entry on my blog latter this week with this figure and possibly some others if your curious). 
Drunken Kung-Fu master, aren't they all drunken?  Also he looks rather like an old roommate of mine....Anyway a nice figure and suitably grubby.  Loose weapons give me headaches too, but your approach here works with the pose.  I like the amphora (? don't know the Chinese equivalent).  Well done,hic!
