Amidst the frozen ruins of an ancient city, wizards battle in the hopes of discovering the treasures of a fallen empire. In the fantasy skirmish wargame Frostgrave, each player takes on the role of a wizard from one of ten schools of magic, and builds his band of followers. The wizard's apprentice usually accompanies his master, and more than a dozen other henchman types are available for hire, from lowly thugs to heavily armored knights and stealthy thieves. Wizards can expand their magical knowledge by unlocking ancient secrets and may learn up to 80 different spells.
While individual games of Frostgrave are quick and can easily be played in an hour or two, it is by connecting them into an ongoing campaign that players will find the most enjoyment. The scenarios given in the book are merely the beginning of the limitless adventures that can be found amidst the ruins of the Frozen City.
So I am pretty excited about this little game.
I thought I would start a thread to show folks what i get up to.
This is the table I have pulled together ... some bits I had ... some new bits.
It is a 4ft square table ... with a snow effect painted on ... not that clear in the pictures.
All the pieces are 'flats' so I can move this all around however i like for each game.
The raised 'snow drifts' are all difficult terrain and the paths in between are easy going.
Seems to give the maze like quality described.
It worked pretty well in our first 'test game'
Hope you like it ...

It took me longer to glue it together than it did to paint .... never mind how long it took to clean up the mould lines .... and it is still a bit bendy. But worth the effort ... and cheap as chips compared to a GW scenery piece....and you get the bonus of a flippin big dragon ... which looks like it will paint up nicely as a frost dragon. (Thaats where I am going with it anyway).
Next year then.
