I've got some games of Frostgrave scheduled for the later summer and autumn. We also has a domestic run-through of the second-edition rules on Saturday night - lots of fun and our first Frostgrave game for about 10 years.
For the upcoming games, we're switching from Mordheim, with which we've had lots of fun over the last 18 months, and Song of Blades, which has given us some great recent games too. The main reason for this is just to try something new - and I think the others will enjoy the warband-building strategy aspects (I'm more one for just throwing together miniatures that look interesting!).
A nice aspect of Frostgrave is the freeform figure selection: as troop types are categorised by armament rather than anything else, there's lots of scope for creativity and kitbashing. And the bestiary, with its constructs and demons of various sorts, creates terrific opportunities for using odd miniatures - as with the robot above (from some boardgame, I think).
I've been sorting through boxes and repurposing various kitbashes and half-painted miniatures for this project. For example, half of the undead above were based up, half-painted and ready to go; the others were easy to bring up to speed with a 'Dogme-style' speed-painting approach (one base colour - burnt umber for everything - and two highlights only).
Along the way, I've uncovered lots of suitable demons, and a lot of Mordheim mutants and beastmen will serve well in this role too: all of these guys, for example.
There's also another nice aspect to consider: what might a wizard's underlings look like? Orcs and half-orcs are obvious henchthings for an evil wizard, but you could create an evocative warband with a bunch of dwarves and a halfling (or four halflings, a dwarf, an elf and some humans ...). But there are so many other possibilities.
One thing I'm planning for our campaign is to start with liveried or otherwise group-identified warbands and then draw on a large pool of assorted hirelings to replace casualties. I've found lots of suitable miniatures for the pool - watch this space ...
