Frostgrave
is a rather nasty, cold bleak location with lots of dangerous things,
rund crawling and even flying around, who would want to live there?
The answer is Wizards seeking to retrieve its treasures and secrets
Due
to its isolated location most enterprising wizards seek out a location
with in the environs of the ruined city that is still relatively intact
to make a "home" for themselves and their war band. Each Type gives
certain advantages.
Mine
is a forlorn and some what dilapidated tower built form card board
cylinders I got from a cooking set we got for our wedding. They stacked
nicely. The exterior is covered with that plastic cobble stone matting
you find in craft stores around Christmas repainted gray.
The
door to the tower was broken by looters long ago the War band has
replaced it with a wind brake of canvas weighted at the bottom with some
savaged lumber.
The
roof has a bit of snow clinging to it I wish I had the time to
experiment with some making some icicles but was worried bout ruining it
as I have never attempted something like that.
With a tower the wizard gets a bonus on certain spells because he can get up high for a better view of the night sky.
I'm
rather proud of this detail the war band has use some salvaged boards
and canvas to make the second story secure. (do you know how hard it is
to sew in 28mm scale?) The result isn't a tight seal but they are
soldier explorers not builders. The canvas has a small viewing hole for
someone to keep watch or potentially shoot out of. I should probably
add some windows to the tower at some point. I only realized the lack
as I was taking pictures.
The inside is has been left undecorated to
facilitate placement of miniatures when this structure makes on board
appearances. All and all I'm fairly pleased with this project I think I
may tinker with it some more going forward.
Nice tower Adam :)

Great roof
ReplyDeleteA fine piece of work Adam , well done
ReplyDeleteI love this because it is scratch built and very creatively done. The burlap patching and the snow effects really add a lot.
ReplyDeleteIn the one time I played Frostgrave, towers were very important pieces of terrain, mostly for characters to fall off of.
Thanks, beware of the wizard whith the push spell
DeleteNice tower, I could do with one of those too.
