Hey, goons. Long time, no post. Anyone got a line on some good thugs? I've got the Frostgrave Soldiers set, but they all look like (reasonably) professional henchmen. My Bones collection is likewise full of heroic and proficient types. "Thug," to me, implies a rough-looking character with a club or some other improvised weapon: cleaver, hatchet (not war axe), knife, etc. There are a few villagers in my Bones bag that I could repurpose, but they don't look scummy and disreputable enough.

Thanks for the recommendations, Indolent and Parsley. I'm not really a skirmish gamer, but Frostgrave is making me reconsider. Maybe it's the lead poisoning.

You are welcome! I've had more fun with Frostgrave than I've had with either Infinity, Warmahordes or WH40k/WHFB in a very long while, it strikes some magic balance that has gotten me completely hooked. It's of course just my own opinion, but I would definitely recommend anyone to try it. On another note I'm on my way to get my tier 4 nickstarter from the post office, big thanks to the dicebaglady for the, as always, speedy and excellent service! This is going to be an absolutely wonderful weekend.

On behalf of Leperflesh, the TG Secret Santa is a perfect place to throw some minis at fellow Frostgoons and receive something cool in return. Better hurry, registration for round 1 ends soon!

Are they going to do more boxed sets in future? I've started assembling my cultists and they are very nice. Need to sort out the airbrush and undercoat them.

We had a model jump down from something that was 4" tall. The book says you can jump up to 4" so we counted that as fine, but anything higher than 4" would be considered falling and have to take damage. Sound right?

Sounds OK to me so long as it's voluntary movement. If you fall 4" after being pushed off the top you'd still take damage.

Oh yeah if it was a push we would have done the damage, this dude just leaped off a roof in a “nope!” reaction to a buffed Treasure Hunter coming at him. Had a great moment in my game this weekend. There was a treasure on a third floor and my opponent was trying to be slick and cast Leap to put a thug up there. In my turn he took an arrow and almost died, so the wizard had him Leap off the roof in the next activation. When I pointed out that he forgot to pick up the treasure, he shouted “god dammit, Frank!” and made him Leap straight up 10” then fall to his death. Fuckin’ wizards, man.

Sulecrist posted:How much does a Mule cost? (Dice Bag Lady, I love you but the lack of nickstarter shipping updates is killing me slowly.) I didn't know either, so didn't want to email everyone every day with "not shipped yet" ;-) (I was updating on the Frostgrave Group on FB, my own business FB & Twitter, just a lot harder to get everyone individually with my 1950's software) All shipped now, and everyone will have an email. Anything with no extras was shipped on the 16th, any extras had to wait as the cards were delayed from Osprey, and my extra dudes were in the card shipment. North Star have obviously been mega insaneo busy, so I didn't want to pester them with too many (is it shipped yet is it shipped yet), as well as Frostgrave people they're a huge distributor so tonnes going on there. So all the cards and extra dude people went out yesterday. Apologies for lack of popping up to answer things, been insaneo busy over here too, two big trade shows in a row, Nickstarters (packing them was a mammoth task), as well as the usual day to day things. Still have tonnes of cool stuff to add to the Frostgrave section. I haven't read the Lich Lord yet or got any of my own models out (the ones I ordered for me!) partly because of time, but also solidarity, I didn't want to delve in until I'd posted everyone else's first! Last night I managed to catch up with Walking Dead and fall asleep, maybe I'll get a chance today....or tomorrow... Also came to say I have all the new bits ready to buy, so roll up roll up. Cards are amazing. http://thedicebaglady.net/lich-lord-extra-items/ --- Are any of you guys at the Frostgrave Day at Wargames Illustrated on Saturday? I managed to squeeze in last minute because of a drop out, quite excited to er, let my hair down (travelling there and back in a day and a trade show the day after might actually kill me though) TheDiceBagLady fucked around with this message at 13:37 on Nov 24, 2015 |

Is there a spell deck in the works? I photocopied one but I hosed up when I cut it and ruined the illusionist deck and with the price of the thick card I almost can buy one from over seas for the cost of getting a new pack of paper.

Loxbourne posted:...what the leeging zark ?! If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say that they're hedging a tiny bit on the miniatures-agnostic appeal of the game and asked the author tho throw something novel in their to sell some proprietary dudes. Which I can't say I totally begrudge them, it's still a lot more managable than the Corvus Beliy/GW/Wyrd/PP mode where either you have the Official Grim Swordhaver Model Accept No Substitutes if you want to play Grim Swordhaver, or gently caress you.

I think most of them have changed their conversion rules to "50% grim sword haver". So, there's been progress. Has anyone played a campaign with just two players? I just assume campaigns need more opponents to play right but would this game hold up if it was just two dudes playing quite progressive campaign once in a while?

Right, I'm signed up for a secret santa (not SA, elsewhere) and my recipient has made a note that they play historicals / fantasy the most... I know they've picked up a bunch of frostgrave stuff recently so I figured a bunch of generic monsters would tick the right boxes... so with a ~£10 budget, I need to find some plentiful supplies of gribbly horrible monsters without breaking the bank. £10 doesn't get you far in terms of models these days, I was half tempted to pick up the two blisters of constructs for them so they have small / normal / large to play around with but not sure if there's better I could do. That would put me slightly over budget but I don't mind spending a couple of quid over. If you were to receive frostgrave stuff as a secret santa, what would you think was ideal if you'd just bought nothing more than the rulebooks and the expansion and the soldier / cultist box sets? Any recommendations? (heeeelp!  )
