Frostgrave Cultists

Product Information

The Frostgrave Cultists box set contains enough parts to make 20 different figures. There are multiple heads, arms, weapons and accoutrements per frame, no two warbands will ever be the same. There are no empty right hands, which means that while we get more daggers than the soldier's kit, we can't make a single thief. And as an extra bonus, the Cultist plastic frame includes heads and arms to convert your Soldiers or Cultists into skeletons and Zombies. True Frostgrave Undead! Perfect to represent your 'risen from the dead' ex-soldiers. Frostgrave is a game of Wizards, battling through a ruined frozen city in search of magical artefacts. Osprey Games and North Star Military Figures have teamed up to bring you a range of specifically designed miniatures to use with Frostgrave. Frostgrave is (c) Osprey Games 2020 Frostgrave Miniatures are (c) North Star Military Figures and Osprey Games 2020.

For an observant reader, they may realize that I have only displayed 15 figures in this showcase (not 20). I actually kept a Sprue of 5 figures aside waiting for new books in case a new soldier type emerges that I would like to build with a cultist theme. To end up my article, I would like to show off some other North Star Military Figures for Forstgrave that are not part of the Cultist Boxed Set.

There are Deals to be Had!!!

The regular Cultist boxes cover the bits and pieces to build 20 miniatures for your Frostgrave warband, spread across 4 identical sprues of 5 models each. In addition you get 20x 25mm round bases by Renedra in there. The box comes with 4 identical sprues. You can see a whole mix of weapons options and heads. The head options were extremely nice because undead heads also come on the sprue. This means that Skeletons, Zombies and Cultists are all possible using just this kit. I have also seen pictures on the internet of people successfully kit-bashing this product with the earlier Soldiers Box set and the products of other companies.

Also, other than Frostgrave models, what models would you guys recommend? What models would be a good fit to get guns, while still being the same scale? So, those of you that have used Frostgrave models, based on the options on the sprues, what would you say is the best warband/faction to be? I'm willing to get more models as needed. We start out with the five different bodies. All of them are more worn down than the soldiers, the clothes are closer to rags. I did a comparison with different other plastic kits, like Fireforge (historical range) and Gripping Beast in the old review of the soldiers, but I think it is of help here as well.

Casting is well done, low amount of mould lines and good use of the sprue. From the left to the right, two arms that will have their hands replaced for the thief, a Bowman, a Crossbowman, an Infantryman with a two-handed weapon, a Thug with just a hand weapon, a Men-at-Arms with hand weapon and shield, and a Treasure Hunter with two hand weapons. Many of the heads look very similar, so it's quite hard to tell your creations apart if they are wielding the same weapon. This was less of an issue with the soldiers kit (and almost every other kit in fact)

If you have some bits at hand to create a command section, you could use these with Kings of War or Oathmark to build some living units for the evil or undead armies. Especially at the price, you get a 4 by 5 rank & file unit for 20 GBP RRP. And as always with Frostgrave, get a box, trade in a sprue or two against one from another kit, like the Gnolls or Barbarians. With the weaponry in place, there is not much else to do. We add the heads or better said hoods, as I went with the closed hoods as far as possible, to underline the aspect that these are cultists. And for the last step, we add the pouches and quivers for the soldiers to look properly equipped.I got into Frostgrave because of a Google search. I was looking for bulk cultist minis for a dungeons and dragons campaign I was running and this popped up. I never ended up needing the cultists (players having free will and all), but I kept looking at that box of minis every so often. When I decided to leave another war game (you know the one, with the massive armies and a book or three to buy for each army), I naturally looked at Frostgrave because of this really cool box of minis. Down the rabbit hole we go. . . .
