I'm ready to start my
Frostgrave: Ghost Archipelago campaign with my regular Sunday evening gaming group. The South Seas setting really appealed to me because I had so much appropriate terrain painted up already from my 28mm Pulp games set in Southeast Asia. As you have likely seen from earlier posts, I will be using the anthropomorphic figures from
Splintered Light Miniatures as my warbands.
I have been busy painting up warbands for my players to select from for the last few months. Each warband will be half the size the rules suggest (5 figures, instead of 10). This is because we will have bigger groups playing, most likely. For their convenience, and as an introduction, here they are all gathered together. Some may show 6 or more figures painted, but that was just to give them some variety or choice!.

Assemble Your Own Crew
In case any of my players want to create a motley warband of various, random Splintered Light Miniatures animals, I am giving this option on a first-come, first served basis. As you can tell, I really like SLM's animals. One thing, though, is that many of their cool creatures are single-casting, or have just a couple poses. So, we'll see if any players decides to go this route. For their convenience, here are the rest of the SLM animals I've painted!
 |
| Three mice (not blind), suitable for either crew, Warden, or even Heritor |
 |
| Three Squirrels |
 |
| Two Skunks |
 |
| Two Opossums |
 |
| Two Wolverines |
 |
| Two Beavers |
 |
| One Coyote Warrior |
 |
| One Prairie Dog Warrior |
 |
| Wildcat Warrior (or Heritor?) |
 |
| Armadillo Warrior |
 |
| Fox Warrior |
