Frostgrave Cultists III From Northstar Military Figures

 I got my Frostgrave Cultists III boxes last week and finally had some time to build and paint five of them. 


I love this kit, and I think it's one of the best Northstar has done so far. 


I used Army Painter Speed Paints for this scheme.

Black and red is always such a classic combo. 

I love the variety of bits you get on this frame. 

The dynamic poses and options make this kit a winner. 

If you were on the fence about these figures, I would urge you to take the plunge, or even use a service like Spruedude to try just one frame. 


Thanks for reading!

The Return of SuperFigs?

Image
 Well, maybe. The last year or so I have been quietly working with a talented digital sculptor who approached me about redesigning the SuperFigs line as STL files. It's been 24 years since the release of the first SuperFigs, and I just can't believe it.  So he has been slowly beavering away at figures who strike his fancy. And I am content to let the process play out and see where it goes. There's no deadline. No release date. No pressure.  But Eric did send me some test prints last month, and I finally got around to painting them up. Last year I had also gotten a batch and painted them, and I might have shared them on my FB group, but I don't remember. Anyway, these two are very nice and I am happy to show them off here now.  We have Zoya and Tenpin, along with some rebased Heroclix for scale.  Painted with a combo of Speed Paint and Fanatic paints. I really love the detail Eric achieves, and the posing is lovely.  Zoya is meant to be about 7' tall, so yo...

Yeah, I make a lot of super games...

     Artwork by Jan Annarella.  I make a lot of super games because I love the genre and I love tinkering with different mechanics and dice systems.  I figure that if you also like super games, one of my rule sets might be for you! That's why a couple of years ago I published the FCS Guide to Super Gaming . It's a list of all of the currently available supers games I make, along with brief write-ups and complexity ratings about them.  I've just updated it to include the imminently available VMF game, but I also wanted to share the text here because I think these sorts of "insider" tidbits might prove interesting to folks who like my games.  I'll also include the entry for SSG that comes right before it in the document for context and comparison:  Super Skirmish Gaming Core System: 3D6 (roll-over) Complexity: 6 of 10 Published in 2022, Super Skirmish Gaming (SSG) synthesizes years of superhero gaming experience into one slick book that offers easy ...

Exploring the Essence of Grimme Perils

Image
Following on the release of Grimme Perils: 2d6 Gritty Fantasy RPG, I thought it might be helpful to release a summary of the most important rules. When we release the offset print edition (fingers crossed on this), these key notes will comprise the end-papers of that fancy edition.  You can find the free 4-page PDF of the Rules Brief here .  It covers the basics of Stats, action checks, boons & banes, initiative, combat, darkness, magic, and more!  So what's the elevator pitch for Grimme Perils?  If you're searching for any of the following aspects in a fantasy RPG, GP  is worth a look:  2D6-based action resolution Medium-level rules crunch Human-centric character creation Dangerous combat with consequences Versatile magic system Slick rules for Darkness / Light Clever and easy rules for consumables A dash of dark Faerie Tale flavor GP didn't just appear, fully formed on the page. It's creation was inspired by some of my favorite games, including: Basic...
