The Mordheim 5-a-Side project was a success, with several of us getting the core of a skirmish force finished and ready to hit the table. With Frostgrave 2nd edition due to be released (and on sale by the time of writing), I thought that adding a pair of magic users to the five figs from the 5-a-Side project would be a fun and achievable goal, hopefully made all the more so by doing it in concert with a few others. The guidelines were:
PAINT A MAGIC USER AND THEIR APPRENTICE, APPROPRIATE FOR USE IN FROSTGRAVE.
(NB, if these two match the theme of your Mordheim Challenge, then you now have a playable Frostgrave force).
The criteria were intended to be broad enough to allow people to paint figures to match a previous project, or head off on a tangent. I liked the idea of the projects stacking on top of each other, breaking down the substantial task of painting a table worthy force into smaller chunks, but it was up to everyone involved to individually decide whether they wanted to take that approach. The goal was to get as many of us involved and collaborating as possible, rather than get worked up about very strict guidelines.
Below is what five of us came up with, more to follow.
