These Plastic Miniatures Are a Kitbasher's Dream | Frostgrave and Stargrave

[@AzraelThanatos]

After a few of the people at a local store noticed an old thread on the Reaper forums about someone doing something similar with more Mad Max gnolls, we took the gnoll kit and kitbashed a bunch of them to play a modified version of GorkaMorka with them. Mainly shifting from the blasted deserts to a massive savanah/grasslands...that did still have some badlands stuff mixed in.

I love the spider guy! great work excited to see more

[@slipwaykitsune]

I have spent the past couple weeks looking into stargrave and frostgrave kits for custom minis for a scifi campaign I wanna run. There wasn't much info on the kitbash compatibility with the gnolls. I'm so grateful for this video! You're awesome!

[@calvanoni5443]

Those Kzinti look Fabulous!

[@Matt-md5yt]

nice youtube rec this to me, your Space Gnolls look awesome

[@justgoey6872]

Cool video! Enjoyed watching it and would appreciate to see more Stargrave content.

[@Tim1000064]

These look brilliant! North Star makes some of the best plastic kits out there, good quality and good prices too.

[@samuelfurlano1897]

Wow, I know they say that cellphones and computers are always spying on you with your searches. But it actually helped me this time. I have been looking for more alternative miniatures to kitbash with my 40k minis. Then today, BAM. Your video and channel came up. Never heard of Stargrave or Frostgrave before today. Great work. Liked and subbed.

[@Tim1000064]

North Star minis generally kitbash well with GW ones, I hope you have fun :D

[@MadhouseMinis]

@@samuelfurlano1897 I'm a big proponent of indie miniature games and definitely recommend checking those out, too!

[@jayhall1234]

YT giving me some good recommendations, definitely giving me many ideas for my own models. Might even pick up a few of those sprues to mess around with

[@BaeBunni]

My new antioch forces are basically 3 of these boxes combined since they are so modular. Makes them for the most part look nice an uniform lol.

[@fergo8146]

Great idea for a game world. Look forward to seeing how that turns out.

[@MadhouseMinis]

@@fergo8146 thanks! It's been half cooked for a while now and I think it's about time I flesh it out

[@ChristopherDunkle]

I think they all turned out well. The spider rider in particular is creepy cool.

[@Bluecho4]

Love the kitbashes. I've worked with the Frostgrave Gnolls kit before. I'm currently in the process of painting a selection of the metal models from that part of the range, to enhance my Gnoll warband.

[@MadhouseMinis]

@@Bluecho4 are the metal models modular? Or are they usually single piece?

[@Bluecho4]

@@MadhouseMinis Not modular. The four I got have two that are single pieces, one a gnoll with a crossbow where you need to glue the bow at the end of the stock, and a big monster guy whose hands, spear, and head come as separate pieces. None of them are like the plastic kit, where you have torso/legs separate from arms for easy kitbashing. You'd need to start chopping off bits to modify them. (Although you probably could make the crossbow gnoll's weapon into a gun without too much trouble. My Gnoll warband is for fantasy, so I build as-intended. But I think it could definitely work.)

[@danhowe1]

Please, please do more videos about frostgrave n stargrave and where did you get the wolfs kits from

[@MadhouseMinis]

Frostgrave Gnolls, from Ghost Archipelago

[@Slacksalotprime]

Moxie looks a lot like my cat “Tada”, I had to give her up cause our son was super allergic. Great vid

[@calvanoni5443]

I Also was recommended this vid, glad to find this channel.

[@aaronglaab6304]

Timelapse paint drying 😂 that was great. I love kitbashing stuff. Of you come up with a game or settle on a ruleset ill fight you with my lizard people!

[@onalert413]

For when you're gluing chains, you should look into some super glue accelerator. It will make that process much less fidly. It basically makes super glue instantly cure. You can find it in Hobby Lobby even. In mine it's in the scale model aisle.

[@manjr]

These are sweet! Love all the North Star boxes for kitbashing.

[@suddenlysarablog]

These would make great Jackals for OPR

[@MadhouseMinis]

@@suddenlysarablog that's actually what the idea started as!

[@raincoast_bear]

Or Vargr from classic Traveller RPG.

[@torymiddlebrooks]

If you do more spider riders, you could jump rings around the fangs and run the chains to that!

[@SciFiPorkChop28]

So only thing I found "odd"... I almost always hold off on GLUING the head down till I have the arms and weapons in place.... you don't want a model looking off in a super weird way... or if you want them sighting down their weapon... so I'd really recommend kitbashers just use blue tac or poster putty or something to approximate where the head might to and SAVE the plastic glue for the head till last! (or at least till the arms and weapons are positioned!) That said, yeah, these kits from Frostgrave, Stargrave, and Oathmark (and Wargames Atlantic!!!) are fantastic for kitbashing!

[@hakbash7588]

RAGE. Ok I see it. Very cool. I used those Gnoll heads on GW Orks. They fit perfectly. Good work. 👍

[@MadhouseMinis]

@@hakbash7588 that's inspired. I'll have to try that out

[@m0rtez713]

These would make perfect Vargr scavengers.

[@zeterzero4356]

I like your Yeens. Them some good looking giggle dogs.

[@ChaseDaOrk3767]

I've thought about combining both the Frostgrave Cultists and Stargrave Scavengers to kitbash into Chaos Cultists for 40k Also I'm thinking the Frostgrave Gnolls would make for some cool alternative Beastmen or Mutants

[@mrsanity]

They'd make great khornate beastmen, as the blood god does like his dog aesthetic.

[@ChaseDaOrk3767]

@mrsanity Indeed Also it's kinda crazy to think that Hyenas are actually more distantly related to Felines than to Canines, so there's that

[@Gibbons3457]

Fantastic minis, really dig the designs. Fact of the day, gnolls aren't dogs; they are hyenas which are more closely related to cats.

[@MadhouseMinis]

@@Gibbons3457 hey thanks! And I'll be sure to let my actual cats know

[@popburnsy3207]

I keep buying the Frostgrave Gnolls kit. Stargrave could make a killing with a scifi version of the kit, off of me.... Would also buy a lion/feline equivalent kit for Stargrave....

[@ChaseDaOrk3767]

It would be nice if we got a dedicated kit for sci-fi themed Cultists

[@ChampionOfSkyrim]

baking soda does funky stuff to glue. It acts as an accelerant for super glue (it makes super glue harden almost instantly), it might do something similar to wood glue

[@lovinggiants]

For about fifteen quid you can get a usb chargeable mini Dremel tool that would make easy work of liberating models from their plastic tabs.

[@craiggehlert]

wana see more of those QUAR!!

[@MadhouseMinis]

@@craiggehlert stayed tuned...

[@SpaceFish123-s1z]

You may have just inspired me to start ANOTHER project Edit: I use the bicarbonate soda and PVA glue trick for snow!

[@MadhouseMinis]

@@SpaceFish123-s1z new project is always better than current project

[@randomtvninja]

Make a Mörk borg type game! Or forbidden Psalms if you're going wargame.

[@onalert413]

Also, I'd love if you uploaded your music as standalone videos for us to listen to while painting and the like.

[@andersand6576]

Looks great. Curious to hear more about your game. If you dobt want toake more they could have slavessoldiers or mercenaries to fill out the team (:

[@MadhouseMinis]

@@andersand6576 I kind of like the idea of super small skirmish, 3 v 3 or something.

[@andersand6576]

@MadhouseMinis thats interesting. Looking forward to more videos on it
