Frostgrave 10mm

[toxicpixie]

O've bashed up a wide range of "I can't believe it's not packing materiel" scenery for our 28mm games for FG - cheap as chips, quick, looks acceptable - could be better if I wasn't always in a rush and also cack handed with terrain stuff.

Still, I'm with Gorshkov. If it's good enough to do the job then it's fine!

As to ruined buildings - in 10mm these can be made very easily, you really just need a corner section, with a few bits of floor. Make them with different lengths of walls. You can put two close together and it looks like the ruins of a house. These can be made from cardboard, plastic card, foam board. You can print texture images from the internet to give a good appearance to the walls. And a few 3d bits, like window sills or roofing joists,  really lifts these simple models.

Yes, you say that and it sounds so easy. But . . .

Every Mordheim campaign I've seen over the years has always floundered on the lack of scenery. Something about making ruined buildings (and making them look good!). And a proper Mordheim board needs a lot of buildings. I assume the same is true for Frostgrave?

And now having said that, I find myself planning a Mordheim board for 10mm gaming . . .

Cheers, Martyn

I have just received my order!

Skeletons are almost already painted!

And the ruins are on their way!

Spot on

Martyn - I bet in 10mm it's quicker and easier, tbh and you could get appropriate ruins very quickly. TBH the old polystyrene packing trick is a simple way to do it, especially as Felstad is a "classical" era (ish) city, frozen in ice then unthawed in sort of late dark age/early medieval (ish) from the art and figures (not there's anything to stop you playing "Mordheim-Grave" or "Jungle-Grave" or "Desert-Grave" as we've seen ), so big cyclopean but damaged structures of unknown purpose are likely rife !

Arsenus, they're nice - one thing I'd suggest is lots of "half figure height to a bit taller" rubble and scatter to break up LoS in between (say a base 2-3-4"-ish with chucks of "masonry" or debris, you can probably knock up a shed load in an hour or two and it really helps stopping missile weapons and ranged spells dominating overly. Also two or three storey ruins are good to give lots of vertical movement and shooting and tactical thought.  Make players work three dimensionally, it'll really give them something to get stuck into

Oh yeah! I've begun to build taller buildings!

[toxicpixie]

Superb, looking forward to seeing the end result!

I'd be tempted to keep inches and make it look better in scale, but going to CM's means a smaller play area needed (very handy) and much fewer buildings (really handy ).

[Arsenus]

Skeletons, Wraith and treasures tokens are done!

[toxicpixie]

Very nice
