Silver Bayonet

The jacket is Grey Seer, with a Nulin Oil wash and highlight back up with the Grey Seer. The trousers are Morghast Bone with a sepia wash and a highlight up with Wraithbone. The flesh is Kislev Flesh with a Reikland Fleshshade and Kislev Flesh highlight.

One of the scenarios has goblins in the mix and they seem pretty strong. This goblin is from Atlantis Miniatures and is a lovely resin mini and I picked up 6 at Salute. It feels like 6 will be plenty for my games of Silver Bayonet.

Deathguard Green primed, with an Athonian Camoshade wash over everything. Then Wraithbone on the loin cloth, Morghast Bone on the ropes and fur and Mornfang Brown on the leather and wood. Then a mix of Agrax Earthshade and Aggaros Dunes Contrast to grime things up a bit. Vallejo Air Chrome on the axe and shoulder armour with Nulin Oil to knock the stark shine back a touch. Trollslayer Orange eyes and warpglow green? on the tongue.

I like the revenant art in the book and they have a far more skeletal feel than my efforts so far. They don’t seem to shoot their muskets so I didn’t see the need to give them any. In the book they have improvised weapons in their profile, but I am happy to model them without. They can turn their attackers guns on them or pick up a stone if the immersion is being lost for you. ???

Bandits are part of the bestiary, armed with muskets and cartridge box and not much else.

The Frostgrave ladies (Soldiers 2 box) being slightly smaller and the Victrix French not having heroic proportions seems to work well together.

I primed both of these Black with an Army Painter Leather Brown zenith. Then used Contrast Paints (Snakebite Leather, Aggaros Dunes, Dark Angel Green) to give me some earthy tones so that they contrast well with the bold uniform colours of the warbands.

I am so happy with the lady that I might upgrade her to a “local scout” for one of my team’s, but I haven’t checked the rules to see what her loadout would need to be.

The green of the uniform is Dark Angel Contrast Paint and the Black is Black Templar Contrast Paint. The pack is Snakebite Leather Contrast and a mix of Grey Seer and Templar Contrast for the bed roll / blanket. The white is Army Painter Matt White. The bandana is Mephiston Red.

The British, or at least some of them (according to Bernard Cornwell in his Sharpe series) liked a French pack compared to a standard British one. So I figured that if this is a veteran of supernatural fighting, that he would also be a veteran of the wars in the peninsula and have the same preference. And it just looks a touch more interesting. There’s evidence of recruitment incentives to join riflemen regiments of there being less “clay piping”, (the white straps were a pain to keep white and this was the term for that maintenance of the straps) so him choosing to have more white straps might not marry with most riflemen’s preferences, but I think it looks OK.

The head does look big, but it’s a characterful face and he stands out with his big red head and I won’t mistake him or his stats for another mini.

These are for one of the scenarios or for potential encounter table bestiary stuff. Hopefully be based in a way that might be passable in Frostgrave too.

These 5 got knocked out in a day. Was really happy with them. Black primer with a Halfords red primer zenith, then a Mephiston Red dry brush over everything. Picked out the gloves in Abaddon black, picked out the hood stitching in Morghast Bone, picked out some leather and wood with Mornfang Brown and used Nulin Oil and Agrax Earthshade on some of the under layers of clothing to create some depth and variety. The rune style decals are from a White Dwarf. (Wolf Spears?)

The stones on the base are cut from the tab bases on other minis, painted with a black and grey seer mix. Then highlighted with just Grey Seer and the whole thing washed in Athonian Camoshade. The leaves, throughout the project, are newspaper painted brown:  punched with a Green stuff world leaf punch.
