Solo Frostgrave - Illusionist Warband

Frostgrave second edition is very fun. After reading in the Perilous Dark supplement for Frostgrave, I knew that solo games would also be fun. With new recommendations for keeping the social bubble down to the core household options are limited for people to play this game with, as my spouse prefers board games not miniature games. I have only played three games so far but that is enough to give solo play a try. Here is my initial warband for a solo campaign for Frostgrave, with the intent to play all 20 scenarios in the basic rulebook. I'll be making a post about each scenario. All models are from Wyrd's Malifaux line of models unless otherwise noted.

The Wizard is Misaki, see on the left, who is from the Illusionist school. My idea is that this Wizard will be more melee and quick movement. That way the model can get to where the action is and support their warband in achieving the mission. The model is outfitted with a two handed weapon. Her Apprentice is Mei Feng. The model has a "counts as" hand weapon, ha ha. Their clothing isn't really cold weather appropriate but they are magic using models. so everything is fine. Spells chosen for the Wizard and Apprentice are: Glow, Teleport, and Transpose from the Illusionist school/ Write Scroll, Reveal Secret, and Heal from the Sigilist, Soothsayer, and Thaumaturge schools. Finally Fleet Feet and Leap from the Chronomancer and Summoner schools.

Two archers, specialist category, are Di (Low) and Gow (High). Their names help to tell them apart as the models are aiming slightly low and high. They are Thunder Archer models, without their hats. You can only have a maximum of four specialists in a Wizard's warband.

The Apocathary, Yeowji Shi, is able to help Wizard and Apprentice models after a game ends to heal after being injured or badly wounded. It is the Gorman di Wulfe model from Privateer Press Warmachine line. The robed lady is Oiran with a two-handed weapon (Infantryman) and the model is a Kunoichi.

These models are two thieves (Thieves Guild Local EO474 and EO478) who do not talk much. They are Batman Miniature game models from the Hugo Strange Arkham Asylum group, here and here, no longer in production.

The Warhound is Beifong, who is fast but not a great combatant. Its advantage is to add +2 for other models it is engaging in melee. The model is a Guild Hound. a model who does not talk much is Prisoner 02, on loan from the regional capital and serving time for unnamed crimes. It is a model from the Batman Miniature game line from the Blackgate Prison group, here and here, no longer in production with these sculpts.

The above crew cost 385 gold crowns leaving 15 crowns in the pot for future purchases.
