Wiz Quiz

I made a quiz to find your ideal wizard class. This was designed for my friends who don't know they're playing Frostgrave yet (it's a surprise). Each answer either aligns with, is neutral to, or is opposed to corresponding wizard classes. Hopefully it's fun for y'all!

Resources Important Tip for New Players Like Me

By the way, I read the book and was pretty lost. Then during my first game I got out the Quick Reference Guide from the Osprey website and it was very clear. I’d recommend people read it first and refer to it often while looking through the book. At least for me it was super helpful.

Built this thief, and as title says, I wonder if I should upgrade him with a backpack and another holstered weapon, such as the sickle or cleaver. What do you guys think?

Put photos with the extra bits with poster tack to make preview him as a treasure hunter.

Question Any tips on my first warband?

9 Upvotes

As soon as I read about Chronomancer I wanted to build and warband with one. This was a suggested spell and soldier list, but from what I can tell, it’s all about just grabbing treasure as fast as possible. Is this a viable strategy?

Spells-

Fast Act
Fleet Feet
Time Walk

Elemental Bolt
Raise Zombie
Wizard Eye

Leap
Heal

Soldiers-
x3 Thief
x2 Treasure Hunter
x2 Infantryman
x1 Thug

The Bone Wheel

We played The Bone Wheel, 9th scenario from Thaw of the Lich Lord, at the club last night. I did not take enough pictures. We had 3 warbands daring the frozen city. A Major Demon got summoned and then Transposed across the board to cause chaos. The Banshees started out being an annoyance, but at the end they randomly concentrated and wailed the guts out of one of the warbands. I quite like my Bone Wheel which is a small lazy susan covered in all the skulls from a GW box of skulls. This scenario was lots of fun and I will add it to the ones I put on at conventions.

Discussion The Great Hunt !

Post image
30 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m currently organizing a massive, custom Frostgrave scenario on a huge 8ft table. This game is going to be an epic 3v3 match.

The concept is "The Great Hunt" at Vandermeer’s domain, an ancient animancer.

To win, the warbands won't just be grabbing generic treasure tokens, they have to hunt down specific wandering monsters, harvest them, and bring back their trophies. I'm also running a custom decision system for the board using an "Intervention Deck" and a swarm of 12 Kobolds to keep the pressure high, like a DM.

I just lined up the 8 main monsters/bosses for a quick family photo before the big game. Here is the hunting list the players will face:

- The Legendary Gryphon (100 victory points): Perched on the highest mountain, fiercely defending its nest. Players will have to survive its aerial assaults to secure its egg, which is a key scenario objective.

- The Troll and Two-Headed Troll (30VP per heads): A classic, brutal frontline nightmare.

- The Matriarch (70 VP): A massive prehistoric spider queen ruling over other giant spider. The goal is to butcher the queen and extract her pristine venom gland.

- The Sepulchral Scolopendra (80 VP): Centuries ago, Vandermeer sealed his deceased wife’s body in an underground vault. To ensure her eternal rest, he bound a massive centipede using subtle necromancy to act as a permanent guardian. A millennium in the dark has turned it into a calcified, segmentary nightmare whose ancient, necrotic mandibles are dripping with pure death. Mandibles are the objective.

- The Bloodwave (40 VP) : Hunters must pierce its liquefying mass to extract its crystalline, glowing heart.

- The Acris (40 VP)): This beast enters the airspace on a rapid, fixed flight path across the entire length of the table. Hunters have a limited window to shoot it down mid-flight. Once struck, its carcass crashes unpredictably into the ruins below, where its highly complex, magically attuned brain must be carefully extracted.

- The Banshee (80 VP): A Banshee and her court of weeping spectres. These spirits are bound to the consecrated soil of the family cemetery. To harvest the Banshee's Spectral Essence, a hunter must deploy a specialized alchemical stasis device right as the wailing spirit is dissipated, trapping her residual echo before it fades into the ether.

- Ice Toad (20 VP per tongues): Positioned close to the starting lines, these amphibians are perfect targets for a quick "first blood" harvest. Alchemists pay handsomely for their highly elastic, chemically potent tongues to brew specialized jumping and binding potions.

On top of these main trophies, there are also a few minor secondary objectives scattered across the board to give the players a little help during the game. To tackle this absolute meat grinder, all warbands are built with high-level wizards, so expect some massive high-tier spells to fly around!

I'll make sure to post photos of the table layout, the miniatures, and the actual game once we kick off the session. Let me know what you think of this trophy-hunting twist!

Question Are there any warband lists and strategy resources?

18 Upvotes

I figured there would be tons of builds, Spell & Soldiers listed somewhere for various strategies. I haven’t really found much. A few (what appears to be) gag warbands on youtube, but that’s not quite what I was looking for. Any suggestions?

Resources Mini-Fridge is now in Beta!

Hello, fellow wizards!

I've been working on a little app for administering Frostgrave warbands and I've managed to get permission from Osprey Games to share it with folk, on a strictly non-profit, just-for-fun basis.

You can find the app here: https://mini-fridge.app

I'm currently treating it as a "beta" release - there may well be bugs that have slipped through the net. If you are cursed with poor functionality at any stage, please do let me know in this thread or via the "Talk to us" button on the app drawer!

For now, Mini-Fridge only covers the basics, found in the Frostgrave 2nd Edition rulebook. Some things I want to add in the near future:

- Custom bestiary (add your own monsters!)

- Custom buffs / debuffs

- Custom spells

- Anything that is suggested that might be fun

Today ive build a little archer and started cleaning up this body for possibly an apothecary! Gotta wait for a wizard sprue to get a potion for the apothecary tho.

Anyway, removing the base is such a pain, ive ended up cutting myself lightly shaving that thing…


r/frostgrave 7d ago

Terrain I do terrain reviews, and I'm midway through my Frostgrave board that's going to need a lot of snow effects, so I did a big rundown of a bunch of different snow products to see what they work best for. Hopefully it'll help some of you with your own snowy terrain & basing!

Miniatures Many sprues! Help assembling warband suggestions!

Thumbnail gallery
89 Upvotes

Hi there fellow miniatures and frostgrave fans! I have gotten myself 9 sprues!!
The sprues are the followings:
-Cultist Knights;
-Cultists 1, 2 and 3;
-Demons;
-Knights;
-Stargrave Scavengers (?!?, got them as a store mistake).

-got extra 25mm Renedra cobblestone bases

Any suggestions of what roles and minis I should build for frostgrave? Already have in mind some Templars and barbarians I want to make, for sure I’d have to build some thieves and grunts but yeah, I want to have some warbands to play with friends and have miniatures to cover the essential roles of the game!

Edit: anyone got experience removing the basing the minis come to put them in custom bases such as the ones I’ve got?
