Arachnid Warband for Frostgrave

[Erifnogard]

One of the things I love about Frostgrave is that you can use pretty much anything model wise.  With the ridiculous ease of converting bones, I decided that I want to work on an Arachnid (Drider) warband for whenever I cycle into a new wizard down the road.  This is the first beginnings of the first three models.  This is the all the cutting and assembly done on a wizard, apprentice, and a knight.  I build all of them on Arachnid Warrior lower bodies with the wizard using Liella the Dark Elf Wizard, the apprentice using Andriessa the Female Wizard, and the knight using Cassiatta for their upper bodies.  basically just cut off their legs and shaved a bit to get them to match torso length with the female arachnid archer's body.  had to cut some of Cassiatta's shield out and readjust her arms and I will need to redo the wizard staffs. Some other minor green stuff work needed but they are far enough along that you can get the picture.

Man, such a great idea!  Nicely done.

[Glitterwolf]

This is awesome.

 

I don't play but the idea of such a warband is great!

Are you going to make them stark white with some blue in the joints? Like Ice-Spiders?

 

Well, frost spiders. Ice-spiders was evidently a creepy monster movie — in winter.

 

What did you have in mind for a color scheme?

[Chris Palmer]

Very cool idea!

Probably more traditional Drow/Drider colors so purplish black for the most part.  I plan to get double duty use out of them and I'm not honestly that married to Frostgrave always being in frozen terrain.  Especially once the dungeoneering book for it comes out this summer.

I may have to steal this idea.

[joshuaslater]

crafty!

I found the key to be comparing torso lengths to the torsos that come with the arachnids to determine where to amputate legs.

Awesome conversions!!

Good to know...  This looks like a really fun and easy way to make a whole drider force. Are you planning on combining the extra bodies and legs?

[Dr.Bedlam]

Most innovative. Wouldna thot of this.

[ub3r_n3rd]

Really thinking I need to do more of these bones conversions and make cooler figures that I wouldn't otherwise paint...

i had to cut to far down the legs. Also the legs aren't really good matches for the Arachnid torsos anyway. I will be looking for something more fitting to pair a few of them to though. With bones elves being so cheap, I don't mind ending up with some leftover pieces.

Awesome conversions, I love the idea of a drider warband!
