I've been gathering figures for Frostgrave. I'm trying to make sure I have enough figures around that several people could play if they wanted. Trying to hook friends and family. I had some old Mordheim plastics and they look great. I bought official Frostgrave figures too. Wizards and soldiers. And some wizard figures from Wizkids and Reaper. I also grabbed some old Bretonnian archers. But the big deal I found was some awesome modular plastic viking figures from a company called Gripping beast. I think they were 44 figures for about $30. Found them on Ebay. Anyway I think I finally have enough figures for 6-8 warbands.
videos on brush cleaning would be great. in the past i bought cheapo brushes but i recently purchased some good ones and i would love to get more info on brush care.
I really need to learn more about cleaning my brushes, for reasons. Thanks for watching!
I was going to tune into this live, but then I realized I'm doing a lot of lab work this week and would need the ambience. Thanks for the listen!
Glad to help. Thanks for watching!
Thanks again Adam for the Wreck Age shout outs, great show as always. If anyone is interested in a PDF of the Wreck Age rules hit me up.
That's a cool offer. Thanks for watching!
Missed it live today, but will enjoying watching this whilst I am painting later on. Hope all is well.
Glad to help if it means more painting. Thanks for watching!
To the guy from Brazil: what you can do is what I do for models that are out of print and can only find on eBay for a very pretty penny: I cast them. Buy a box set on eBay and create a mold of them while they're on the sprew. It works especially well for bits such as shields you've lost, broken spears, or something like that
Hi! I love your videos. I unfortunately had to bring some work home tonight and used this video/podcast to make it at least enjoyable. I try to save these "every other Sunday" shows for long projects sitting at the computer, like bringing work home. Keep up your work and look forward to your next show :)
I'm glad I was able to help. Thanks for watching!
Regarding bones: keep in mind that acrylic is a thin layer of plastic and it tends to stretch and not flake.
+Stargate404 Interesting. Thanks for watching!
28:00 For the reaper bones miniature with the bendy arm - I wondered the same thing myself so I asked for others advice and was told that if you varnish the model first, then prime it, paint it, and varnish again that makes it not so bendy to the point where is fine.
I'll have to think about that. Thanks for watching!
I agree with the Christmas villages idea. I used to work at a place that. They are also good for different looking pine trees trees, snow or the roads like you mentioned.
Yes, the trees are great. Thanks for watching!
Hey Atom, glad to see you are doing well! Really good to see you with the camera again :) Much love from Denver
Thanks for watching!
Regarding the stripping of models: for acrylic based paints methylated spirits is the single best thing to use (I believe in the US, it's called denatured alcohol.) It's purple in colour, strips in minutes, is reusable, non-toxic and doesn't leave gunge over your miniatures like Dettol. I cannot recommend it enough.
Does it hurt plastic or resin? I'd be concerned about those materials. Thanks for watching!
Totally looking forward to the pin and T-shirt!
They'll be coming soon-ish. Thanks for watching!
Do you ever finish any models? Lol
Straight Ink in the airbrush is fine, you don't need to thin them. I don't and have no problems.
Great Frostgrave warband. I wish I could get anyone to look at it but getting friends into anything lately is a challenge. How would you rate it next to Mordheim or something like it?
I like it better than Mordheim, because in my mind, they looked at Mordheim and tried to 'fix' it with Frostgrave. I think they were pretty successful. Thanks for watching!
I don't know whether anyone else has suggested this, but if they haven't it may be helpful. The bendy arm question reminded me of 1/72 toy soldiers that are manufactured with soft plastic. A TH-camr called Lindybeige has a recommendation on his website that one paint a layer of undiluted PVA (Elmer's glue) over them to help them better retain paint. I have been trying that, and it has been working quite well. He notes that it doesn't obscure detail on the models, and I have found that to be true in some cases, albeit not in others. Anyway, it might be worth looking into before chopping off the arm.
I'll look into it. Thanks for watching!
I thought your comment about how you dont think making all the terrain look snowy. When I first got into Frostgrave I was a blizzarding fool and really buried my terrain with it. Now I have peeled it back some! I play a lot of Dragon Rampant and I needed less snow!
It can really look cool, but then it doesn't look as good to use some of that terrain in Age of Sigmar later. Thanks for watching!
Love the Frostgrave minis. I just recently collected everything I need for my warband and as soon as I have finished a few AoS projects, I can start on them. Hopefully I will be able to find a game, but it doesn't look like likely haha
Since I missed it, whats the Malifaux kit that you pilfered the parts from? I think the arms on the flagellant look great.
I believe they're called 'Through the Breach Multipart Figures' for their RPG. They come in a male set and a female set. Thanks for watching!
As someone some what new but coming back to this style of Game I would love to do a Podcast with you if you're ever wanting to start one.
Hi Atomic, although they're not for sale yet CMON just did a Kickstarter called Massive Darkness. The models are superb. Some of the range will be sold as individual box sets. The troglodites sound like they would be cool. Also the characters are great.
I'll have to check them out. Any fishmen? Thanks for watching!
9AM central USA is 4PM in Dwarf Kingdom, so its either work (if I'm at 2nd shift on Sunday) or RPG session where I'm GM if I work on morning shift or have a free day, so no luck :/
Well, you can always watch the recordings while you paint. Thanks for watching!
But then I can't focus on what I'm doing :P
(And the fact that I run out of things to paint doesn't help either).
I usually listen to stuff like that when I'm cleaning house or playing some online games.
Could you do a video on doing battle damage on mech type minis? I play Warmahordes, and want some fake wear into the mechs. What are your techniques or even a "Painting with the Pros" video??? ;D
Sam does battle damage and paint chips really, really well, so I'll mention it to him. Thanks for watching!
First time I watch one of these. It's pretty cool, specially cause I'm interested in playing Frostgrave.
I plan on using Warmachine Khador figures for my Warband.
For battle reports It would be cool if you looked at the format from Wil Weaton's Table Top.
+Cesar “Isaac” Perez Wil has a whole production team working with him. I'm one guy who hopes to be working out of his basement. I hope you don't expect too much from me. Thanks for watching!
Tabletop Minions Yeah... Your videos still look pretty pro anyway.
You never completed your sentence "If your paint varies a little bit" at 21:21..
I too paint at a batch of 5 or 10 at a time and sometimes go back months later to finish the next batch of an army. I started writing down a paint journal to record exactly what paints I used to mitigate variances in paint colour/shade..
Great news about the dice! Any idea already what shipment to germany would be? Love to get some!
And have to say again, I really enjoy these sunday streams ;)
I haven't received them yet, so I can't figure out the shipping yet. I'll let everyone know when I do. Thanks for watching!
Stripping paint. It might be the clear lacquer over the top, like a matt varnish might be the problem, I know a guy who uses a car paint as a varnish to make them tougher then matt coasts over the top so it looks like normal but you will not get that varnish off a plastic model, which is thee major problem with plastics, they are almost a one shot deal with regards to painting. I will be stripping some Sisters of battle figures over the next couple of days, I will be using a solvent called RPDE which is designed to clean epoxy resins which would disolve plastic but because there metal I have no worries.
as always adam cheers for the vid, shame i missed it live but unfortunately my job had to come first :( going to listen as i start my nagash
Good luck with the big guy. Thanks for watching!
frost grave stuff starts at 24:10
I always have thought it to be a huge taboo to convert models with bits from different miniatures lines. I don't know if it's just from reading white dwarf in the 90's, but I just can't use bits from different manufacturers on the same model.
+Jake Piekarski I don't believe there's any real taboo to it, and I do it quite frequently. Set yourself free. Thanks for watching!
Sweet, I won't be the only one bringing Tzeentch to Frostgrave when I get to play :D Some people mix and match when able, someone like me.. I lack green stuff so they have to socket together for me.
Jake Piekarski that is GW brainwashing. You paid for the stuff use it
I used to live a tiny Island ithad extremely fine sand. I Took jars ofit when I moved.
+Grant Train Fancy island sand, no less. Nice. Thanks for watching!
I have a Glottkin and it was over 100$ when I bought it
That's probably the retail price. My local store sells GW for 20% off, so I suspect that's were my memory got that from. Thanks for watching!
My independent stockist gave my brother a deal on the dark vengeance set the store owner took all the dark angels and gave my brother the rest of the set because my brother wanted the 7th ed rule book but it cost $140 so the store owner sold it to him for $100
I need a bald guy. Can someone tell me what bald guy he used for the head on the chaos lord?
Frosgrave Warband. You forgot the T :p Not enough coffee?
Not nearly enough. Fixed it. Thanks for watching!
i watch pretty much all of your videos that i have time to and follow your twitter so i know Ive just somehow missed the "schedule?" if there is one (well, there must be at least announcements) for these LIVE vid/chats - could Atom or someone not as old n slow and migraine- headache battered as I am atm please fill me in? Thanks.
anyone? Atom?
They're every other Sunday at 9 a.m. Central time. There was one that started about 5 and a half hours ago, so the next one will be in two weeks. Keep an eye on the Facebook page for more info, too. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much ! I'll be trying to catch-em-all (Dear Lord it's a Pokemon pun and I've never played any iteration of Pokemon. They control us. )
I think instead of beating the crap outta stripping models, i think its best to join them rather than to strip them. Why? Bcoz of costs, time and patience... So what i mean is, strip it to the most you can get it, and if you cannot? Prime the damn thing, bcoz in the end, yur gonna modify it anyways, just put a spinoff off of something yur gonna do anyways!
