I
have nearly finished up all of the figures needed for Rangers of Shadow Deep: Blood Moon. Here’s a big bunch of baddies,
I recently completed. I admit, I didn’t spend a great deal of time on any of
them – after all, my rangers are hoping that none of them remain on the table
too long! The werewolves are Dracula’s
America figures. The wolves, including the little wolf, and the giant rats
are all from the Frostgrave
range. I could probably use another
wolf or two, but I’ll wait until I’m at a show to pick some up.
Other
than that, the only figures I still need are the two children that may appear.
If anyone has a lead on good children models that scale to Frostgrave or true 28mm
please drop it in the comments.
Next
up, the terrain!
I
did most of the painting of these guys while listening to Hood on BBC Radio 4
Extra. It’s a very unusual retelling of the Robin Hood story. Same basic
setting and idea, but not all of the classic figures are playing the role you
expect. All four episodes are now available to listen to online, for
those in the BBC area, although the first one is only up for another week. I have listened to the first three, so I can’t
comment on the ending, but it’s been really enjoyable so far!

ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. Those Werewolves are awesome.
ReplyDeleteI use the Black Tree Design children.
ReplyDeleteGreat recommendation, gonna check HOOD out when I get a chance.
ReplyDeleteHasslefree sell some great medieval kids figures. I was about to paint mine up for Shadow Deep but I didn’t know if they needed to be on full size bases. https://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?product=medieval-kids~hfh044&category=fantasy-%26%0D%0Asteampunk~fantasy-humans
ReplyDeleteBase size doesn't really matter. Thanks for the suggestion.
DeleteThanks :-) I have no excuse not to get painting now.
DeleteHasslefree have some good "medieval " children sets under their Fantasy Human range. They are more true 28 than heroic so should scale well with Frostgrave stuff. If anything, their normal humans are a bit more slender I think.
ReplyDeleteDoh, didn't see the previous comment.
DeleteHi Jo,
ReplyDeleteAre there any chance that RoSD is translated in French ? Merci :)
I am talking to someone about the possibility, but nothing definite yet.
DeleteThanks for your answer Joe. I will not wait, I will buy the english version.
ReplyDeleteHi Joseph, it is I, the Old Gamer! Just a quick note, my son a few friends and I are going to Shadow Deep on the 3rd of Feb. We all have our Rangers ready and are working on the assorted villains/creatures. Any time I can game with my son is a good time!
ReplyDeleteIndeed! Good luck!
DeleteA quick and very effective paintjob.
ReplyDeleteDark Fable Minis has a pack of 4 Egyptian children.
