A few pictures of the Frostburn Tribe taken before I headed home for the holidays 2008. All figures obtained and painted August-December 2008 (except for Skarsnick). Full back story and color choices can be found here. Any white spaces appearing are just deletes of some paper towel - better to store white space than patterned (but not interesting) towel! Sorry for blurriness - I'll stand back more next time.

Ah, the elite of my little (mostly goblin) force. Painted a la Skeletor (after trying two other schemes). Vrog (the mithril guy in the front) has been painted since last August but the pinned Squig Hat (aka Best Boss 'At) is new (it's the blue thing on his head, kinda hard to see at this angle). Bruglug (with the Tribe's banner) is to the far right. |

Two of the 6 chukkas I use to cause fear in the block units of Warhammer. That be my standard "Goblin Blue" for the loaders. |

Some of my weirder units - Snotling Pumpwagon, Skarsnick, and the half-painted Giant, Fred Fredbasher. |

Some units I use but don't like much: The new-style musician (I use the old-style bell-ringer if I can) and 3 archers. At 64 pts/unit w/musician, archers are great to fill out a common slot if I'm feeling elite-y. Usually they don't amount to much, though. |

Head-on (opponent) view of the goblins and a fanatic. |

From-above view of all painted handweapon goblins, the orcs, the chukkas (in back) and a couple of the spider riders. It almost looks like a painted 1000 pt army or something! (OK, needs more goblins...) De-whited a little (which is why it's a little yellowy). |

Quality-wise, probably my best shot of the goblins. You can see clearly that they have blue skin, a fact that is harder to see when head-on and mixed up with base-coat-only goblins. |

OK, maybe this is a better shot of some goblins. These are the fanatic, a bell ringer (with the black gloves), some speargobs I painted before realizing that they *fail*, and other banner-bearers and bosses. |

A better picture of Skarsnick (again, not painted by me but in need of touch-up over at Karen's) and old Fred Fredbasher. As you can, see, Fred has a lot of arrows stickin' into him but the head and groin shot ones seem to fall off (the idea being that head-shot arrows don't stop Fred but groin-shot ones give him pause). There's also a raven and a snotling hanging out - Fred doesn't notice. These pictures do neglect the skeleton kept for eatin' (then forgotten) on his back and the cow's ... special arrow. |

A cheap buy on eBay, I've come to love the pump wagons in the 2 games I used them. Random movement distance, 2d6 impact hits, S4 attacks, and all for 40 Rare points (at 2 for 1 per slot at that!). Yeah, they're silly but, looking over the Rare list, only the Trolls really aren't. Sorry for the blurriness - I'll paint up the other one (bought at my local gaming store!) and reshoot these. |

Good old Spider Riders. Light cavalry that make you forget about terrain. They usually get shot up but, hey, they're certainly annoying before that! I like how the grey and white turned out - I'm kinda reserving heavy-black for orcs. |
