I am also painting up some Cavalry for Peter in the wargames club, but they had been painted at least 3 times BEFORE I even saw them, They are also not the best castings and Peter told me they were the wrong figures historically (they are Tartars I think and not Turkish Cavalry.... which meant a whole waste of research) so getting them right has been a pain. I could talk about them, but my comments would not be positive so I choose not to.
So Instead here are some improvised walls for Frostgrave. Yes they are the wrong size, but they do look the part so I will let that slide. They are only 4 inches wide and not 6" But I had the 2mm mdf bases already pre-cut. They are also 4" tall and not 3" but I just do not care, they will do and loot the part and mostly the gaps between terrain are not as wide as 6 inches so putting one in place will serve that purpose. You can see they are carved polystyrene painted with a couple of coats of white emulsion and given a blue low-light just to make them look cold. Or at least colder. Quick easy and effective even if not exactly the right size. But to my mind they will do good enough for now.Right back to painting these tartars and dreaming of starting a new project.....
All the best for now Clint
They certainly look spot on, suitably frosty in my humble opinion.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael. They will do for me! No need to be more precise.
DeleteGood walls stonemason Clint!
ReplyDeleteThanks Fran. If I was to have my life over again I would love to train to be a stone mason. There is something very precise about knowing if you chip a bit of stone off it will take millions of years to put it back!
DeleteNicely done sir. :)
ReplyDeleteSimple and effective = good stuff! :)
Thank you Citizen
DeleteNowt wrong with them to my eye. I'll need to make some Frostgrave terrain myself soon, so I'll probably copy your design in fact :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Roy. I just used scraps I had lying around and would have made them differently if I had different things available. But most importantly the Secret Santa figure is now painted and boxed ready for dispatch in 35 days time.
DeleteLovely glacial walls Clint! Even if you're playing fast and loose with the size.
ReplyDeleteCheers Bob. I will have to wait and see what they play like. I may have to change them and mike them bigger.
DeleteYour walls certainly look the part, Clint. I'd be happy with them.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bryan. I am happy with them at the moment but the true test has yet to come.
DeleteThey look cool to me Clint and rather neat too
ReplyDeleteThank you Pete. They should work for what I want.
DeleteThey look just right to me! What's an inch or tow anyway? Very nice work Clint.
ReplyDeleteThanks Robert. an inch here or there....well some wargamers are very picky! Very Picky indeed.
DeleteI do like me a bit of terrain - nicely done, Clint!
ReplyDeleteThanks Evan. Terrain does add quite a lot to a game.
DeleteVery nice Clint, fancy earning a few sheckles??? I need a new wall at the front of my house???
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray. I always fancy a few more sheckles we can of course discuss your walling needs but a builder I am not!
DeleteThey'll do, won't they :-) . "Fit for purpose" is the best definition of quality.
ReplyDeleteThanks C6. Yeah they will do. Until we all want to cast loads of walls that is then we are in trouble as I only had enough bases for 3!
DeleteUmm, they're frosty walls!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe. I just have to remember to take them when we play frostgrave now!
DeleteAnd don't forget your camera too - just saying
DeleteThanks Joe that really is my specialty, forgetting the camera.
