Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann…

As longtime readers will know, one of my many ongoing projects is a solo Frostgrave campaign. After the death of my crossbow specialist whilst running through the Dark Alchemy, while the sensible thing might be to replace them with another sniper sort to pick off enemies from a safe distance, I really really like this barbarian miniature from the official Frostgrave range:

What a glorious sculpt! I went with striped trousers, to give her a little gaul-ish flair, and you can just about make out my shonky attempts at tattoos using a micron pen in the picture (she also has triangular designs on the shaved dodge of her head).

Ugh, there’s pictures aren’t the greatest, but they were taken nearly a week ago so she’s safely put away in the fantasy minis box so they’ll have to do for now. Looking at the sword, I wonder if my GW metallic paints have seen better days, and wonder if I should branch out to another brand…

Completing her brings the Tally to:

11 vs 10 = +1

And accompanied by an apothecary that I’ll use a previously painted miniature for should take Tim the Necromancer’s warband back up to full strength. While the initial plan was to tackle the solo campaign in Perilous Dark, I’m tempted to play an interim scenario that doesn’t need me to build and paint an entire set of monsters before I can play it - while I love them all, one downside to Frostgrave solo scenarios is that you often need to make a bunch of monsters like Vapour snakes that you may never use again…
