Finally got around to posting these guys.
Yet another versatile kit from Northstar. These have to be some of the heaviest armored soldiers we've seen yet in Frostgrave. They look quite bulky, especially with the extra horns and armor. They have the usual compliment of weaponry, as well as barbed tails to complete the devilish look.
While I wish they'd included plastic wings like the original concept, Northstar was nice enough to offer up metal option packs as well as the STL files if you want to print your own- downloads.northstarfigures.com...
Those abhuman legs and heads can sure get a lot of traction with the right body types I'd imagine. Time for some Rogue Trader/ 2nd Edition 40k abhuman guard regiments, especially with some extra Stargrave gear!

Cool kit. I like North Star's focus on cross comparability in their kits.

@warswithtoys1319 2 года назад

These make for some cool looking Lord of the Rings orcs, with some suitable orcy heads of coarse.

@pitifulpotato 2 года назад

Love the Frostgrave demons, such a nice kit. You can easily kitbash the deast to other torsos to make tieflings, and the crossbow actually works really well for the Oathmark dwarf heavy infantry (which helps alot because the dwarf kit doesnt have any ranged acessories). Also I've been meaning to run a campaign with some goatmen warriors ravaging towns and such, so as soon as I saw this kit I just had to get it!

@Bluecho4 2 года назад

Very versatile kit. Really good.

@avengedslipknot1000 2 года назад

The pics available for these do not do the actual models justice. Thanks for covering these, I need to get to buying the frostgrave kits.

@richmcgee434 2 года назад

That GW "marauder" you're using in the scale comparison is some AoS Khorne thing - Blood Warrior or something, can't be assed to remember which is what in that army. The actual kit they sell as Marauders are ancient WFB sprues with anatomy like a Catachan jungle fighter sculpt, and are quite a bit smaller. They'd probably fit (or at least some of their parts would) with the demons pretty well. Halfway surprised they didn't use the bigger Renedra bases on these like they did with the snakemen, but I guess none of them have quite that wide a stance. Also vaguely disappointed that there's no pitchfork/trident weapon option, but I'm sure I can kitbash something. What kind of self-respecting infernal type doesn't carry a pitchfork?

@ObscuritiesinMiniature 2 года назад

With those tails and wings, yeah, a pitchfork as a polearm option would have been a great choice! I should have a few left over from Fireforge's peasants. May have to print some wings and do just that...

@Bluecho4 2 года назад

I think the tails are meant to be glued onto the back of the belt. Though you might try cutting them in half, then sticking them under the skirt at an angle, so it's like they're peeking out from under there.

@carlm5991 2 года назад

Great review. Those figures are going to be great for more kitbashing. I've seen some people use the bodies from this kit for armored orcs for LoTR stuff, excellent looking figures.

@richmcgee434 2 года назад

Yeah, their armor looks like a good aesthetic fit for LotR.

@rorythomas9469 2 года назад

I'm kitbashing these with warlord games orcs for oathmark

Really great review, I've watched a lot of these Frostgrave reviews and I love how you fully break down all the options on the sprues.

@eliberdinner4808 2 года назад

These would make some brutal looking foot knights for Sludge.

@ObscuritiesinMiniature 2 года назад

Especially mixed with some Rift Forged Orc bits from mantic....

@axanax2534 2 года назад

Yeah, I carved a spot under the belt for my tails. Is that how it's supposed to be done? Maybe not, but it looks good.

@popburnsy3207 2 года назад

I think Reaper has a couple of wings packs you can buy

@SiestaOdyssey Год назад

More like beastmen than demons. Still a good kit though.

@brayanfisk8769 Год назад

Perfect for chaos cultists or traitor guard

@hansmustermann5371 2 года назад

They can be a alternatives For Vampires too!

@ObscuritiesinMiniature 2 года назад

Good idea!

@Bluecho4 2 года назад

Absolutely. I know Puppetswar has some vampire heads (two styles). Stick some of those on these bodies.

@williamholmes9195 2 года назад

They remind me of Tieflings from D & D.

@ObscuritiesinMiniature 2 года назад

They'd be a great choice to build some!

@Bluecho4 2 года назад

Just what I was thinking. You can either build the kits as-is, or put the heads + tails onto bodies from other kits (Wizards, Mercenaries, Barbarians, or various historical kits from other companies).

@geronimo8159 2 года назад

It's always nice to pick up a sprue off eBay, just for bits 🙂. Maybe build some traitor guardsmen or something...

@padythunderson9486 Год назад

The human leged bodies, are perfect for dark elf or Vampire Knights conversions.

@ObscuritiesinMiniature Год назад

Absolutely- they don't even need much work done with those fully enclosed helmets!

@colinmack8655 Год назад

Work as abyssal guard for kings of war

@rodolfomaravillasduran8793 2 года назад

If nothing else these could make for some good cultist heavy enfircers, maybe even an exclusively tiefling mercenary band trying to lean into their infernal heratige as an aspect of their group to stand out.

@richmcgee434 2 года назад

Undead too, at least for the booted ones - easy to swap on a skull or zombie head. I wonder if the digitigrade legs with the clawed feet are close enough in "look" to be an armored gnoll?

@rodolfomaravillasduran8793 2 года назад

@@richmcgee434 you certainly could do something like that like the way you're thinking

@mattygee37 Год назад

Hi how do these scale with Perry's miniatures?

@jarzynek007 2 года назад

I wonder how it would kitbash with Oathmark dwarven heavy infantry

@ObscuritiesinMiniature 2 года назад

It sounds dangerously close to a recipe for making evil little chaos dwarfs, if you ask me!

Hello there I hope you are well...I have a frostgrave demon/frostgrave cultist Oathmark army ( if you care to look at my channel I'm not spamming for views because theres not much else on there) I use them as evil humans rather than demons, I found them good to paint, they have tails in the box though I couldn't figure out where they attached to so I left them off mine also I had a hell of a game trying to fit the double handed sword on any of them...cheers now

@richmcgee434 2 года назад

Bloody FLGS can't get these from any of their distributors. Been waiting ages to see these in person, infuriating. Widespread problem for all teh Northstar stuff, took them till this week to get the Wizards 2 box. US distribution has gone from bad to dreadful over the last year.

@ObscuritiesinMiniature 2 года назад

My local place is just now getting the first couple Wargames Atlantic boxes in. I've given up trying to source this stuff locally. I'd love to, but it's impossible.

@richmcgee434 2 года назад

@@ObscuritiesinMiniature Maddening, isn't it? The pandemic has made it more important than ever before to support your FLGS but the distributors are making it almost impossible to do so for minis any more. I can't even get Reaper figs reliably any more. If it isn't GW or Wizkids the store barely gets anything filled on their orders now, and even GW is pretty damn bad.

Who could possibly have a bunch of figures laying around my Napoleonic Russian army is only 2,000 miniatures my late imperial Romans of course they're 15s and that's almost 5,000 figures see oh yeah I've got 600 members of the flesh terrors my one and only remaining 40K army and I take that back I've still got my gray nights but there's only about 400 of them and I've got just about every manifold release since the original metals I definitely don't have a bunch of figures just laying around
