I have recently discovers Osprey publishing’s FROSTGRAVE; Fantasy War gaming in the Frozen City. It is kind of like Mordheim: City of the Damned in that you play War bands scavenging a ruined city. The primary difference in Frostgrave is the focus on wizards. Your main character is your wizard (Always.) To keep it interesting there are 10 different kinds of Wizard to choose from. You can also have an apprentice who gains power as you wizard does. Everyone else is hired muscle.
I am not going to go into a lot of detail about the game or it’s mechanics (Both are interesting but already covered is several other reviews) but I will say I am excited about it. I did put together a list of some of the reviews I found helpful.

I have decided to build a Frostgrave “Play set” much like the Goblin Town set or the Eldar Craftworld table I built for the 2015 NOVA Open. For the table I purchased an Alpine Fat Mat as the first layer.
I have also scavenged my terrain collection and am in the process of repurposing some of my old terrain for use on the table. For the rest I have assembled several kits that have been in storage for the last year or so including the Witchfate Tor Wizard tower that is perfect for one of the scenarios.
This will work with several of the scenarios |
I also made these cool treasure tokens:
