There is a rumour going around that a plastic wizard set is coming to Frostgrave. Well, the rumour is true! I actually received a 'test sprue' a couple of weeks ago. It was just a sample, and there was still some cleaning to do on the mold, but I just couldn’t wait! There are so many fun bits on the sprue, I just had to clip some out and have a play. Here is the result!
My new
wizard, Nicholas Nicodemus and his apprentice Porthek!
Nicholas
is made completely out of pieces from the sprue, including one of the four
bodies. I gave him a staff in one hand and gem in the other. The gem is
obviously some kind of power stone. I also glued on a couple of extra potion
bottles, of which there are many on the sprue. For his apprentice, I used a body from the Ghost Archipelago Crew sprue, just to see how compatible
they were. The head and the arms come from the wizard sprue. I gave him a magic
wand, as I figure you don’t get a staff until you’ve made ‘full wizard’. I also attached a couple a pouch, a potion, and a scroll as well.
Oh, and
that little familiar/imp thing? He’s on the sprue too!
The Wizard Box set is due out March. It will retail for £15 and contains two sprues. Each sprue allows you to make 4 spellcasters with loads of customization options and extra bits!

ReplyDeleteNice looking forward to this set.
ReplyDeleteTake my damnéd gold crowns already!
ReplyDeleteWowser! Excellent news and nice paint job 👍
ReplyDeleteAlso, just noticed the apprentice's wand looks like a Sonic screwdriver!
ReplyDeleteI see that - although it's not quite as true close-up. There is at least one other wand-option on the sprue.
DeleteGreat news! Looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteDo we get a sprue shot???
ReplyDeleteI believe it will be coming in the North Star newsletter over the weekend.
DeleteAre there female options too?
ReplyDeleteNot in this box...
DeleteThese are awesome and I think I would like a set when available. Thanks for sharing Joe. If this is the wrong place for it, please let me know, but I was meta-thinking last night and pondered, how difficult would it be to adapt FG or RoSD rulesets to a superhero style narrative game? Anybody think of this already?
ReplyDeleteNot too hard. Although Ghost Archipelago probably comes closer than the other two.
DeleteI know I’ll be picking up a set when they come out. It doesn’t matter that I already have Wizards for every school , now I want to see if I can create some one of a kind unique Wizards.
ReplyDeleteThat;s great sir!
ReplyDeleteAre there any female heads? Or is there a plan to put out a Female Wizards box to complement the Female Soldiers box?
ReplyDeleteNot in this box, but a female wizards box will come in due course.
