My Santa-Themed Enchanter Warband for Frostrgave

[Chris Palmer]

    Over the past few months I have been slowly working on assembling a Santa-themed warband for Frostgrave that is headed by an Enchanter and his apprentice.  This week I finally finished the last figure for it, and while I have shown a few figures here individually in the past, I thought I would present the whole complete group today.

   First up is the Enchanter wizard himself and his Apprentice, in the form of Santa and Mrs Claus. Both are Reaper figures:

 

     Next, up is the Treasure Hunter, and Marksman.  These rolls are filled by Yukon Cornelius (From the 60's Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer TV special), and Black-Powder Peter (from the Dutch Christmas folklore). Both are conversions of North Star's Frostgrave plastic figures.

 

     Following up is four Thieves, in the form of four of Santa's Elves from the North Pole's Gift Repossession Department. These are Reaper figures.

 

     Lastly, we have a pair of Thugs named Blitzen and Donner.  Santa's reindeer need something to occupy themselves with when not flying the sled around. :)  These are metal figures from North Star in their Frostgrave line.

 

     And here's the whole gang in one picture.  I'm really pleased with how this band came together, and look forward to getting a chance to try them out on the table.

that's amazing.  solid band with lots of whismy. 

there is actually humanoid reindeer thugs? I was sure those were a conversion.

Oh good heavens!!!  That may be the coolest (pun intended) Frostgrave warband in the history of ever!

Loved the whimsy of the idea and the seriousness of the delivery.  Truly fantastic work!

This is a truly great execution of theme and the figures all look great!

Evil- Technically they are not sold as thugs, I just used them for the roll.  They are officially called Rangifer, and are one of the new creatures introduced in the supplemental Bestiary in the Thaw of the Lich Lord supplement.

I love the goblins.

[Bruunwald]

Awesome.

 

Question: North Star has the official license for Frostgrave, and I'm pretty sure those Rangifers (deer dudes) are North Star minis. Does Artizan have a license, too now, or do they just make knock offs? I can't find anything about it online, but I'd be interested to know.

 

Thanks!

Doh!  That was purely a brain glitch on my part.  I meant North Star, but for some reason my mind called up Artizan.  Sorry for the confusion.  I've made the appropriate corrections. 

 

And thanks for the, "Awesome"!  :)

I love this so much! Each figure has so much individual character and they are stellar as a group! Perfect!

[Peithetairos]

Wonderful project and excellent execution. I really love your additions, may it be the sugar cane stick or the jolly Christmas staff. The idea to use the Goblins as (evil) elfs is also a cool idea. Does that owl come with the miniature or did you get it from another pack?

Thanks everyone for the continued kind remarks!

Thanks!   Yes, the owl comes with the figure.  She is Reaper's "Christmas Eve" figure, and is usually available during their 12 days of Christmas promotion every December:   http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/Special%20Edition%20Figures/sku-down/01550
