The Frostborne Realm (UPDATED)

[Kommander Ken]

Thanks guys. And... My god.

Polar Bear cavalry. That's probably the best idea ever. I'm so going to do that.

Two new units join the ranks of the Frostbornian Ranks.

The Scouts.


Gunpowder Specialists (in black) and Siege Mechaniks (brown).
















And introducing, a starting example of Frostborne's hopefully successful line of siege engines: The Kannon.

I like, especially those spiky side shields.

I love the pose of the three riders, but I wish the lighting was better. Can you take the shot again in daylight?

Done. Hope this one's better.

[Bluefog]

Very impressive.

Why is your camera making images that are using Index color?

[Kommander Ken]

I wouldn't know, my knowledge of camera terminology is pretty horrible. All I can say is this was a cheap-ish camera and I have a feeling I screwed up the settings somewhere down the line. Is indexed color a bad thing? I think I read somewhere it makes images hard to edit via photoshop.

Update: New Look, more troops, same icy ranks





Since their descent from the icy mountain range in the Norselands, Jarl Barbous has been amassing a “defensive force” with the help of his appointed general, Urgis. With the successful pilgrimage and small settlement built at the foot of the mountains, the Forstbornians can finally venture into the world below them. They do not come unprepared however, they are equipped with some of the finest steel and fitted to keep the cold at bay, for even the people of Frostborne feel the deepest chills of winter.




We begin with the main infantry, the Frostbornian Armsmen. These warriors are equipped almost exclusively for close-combat, but they can use their spears to throw at the enemy from afar if they're feeling flexible. They're also much more wintry looking, as they are lacking the original color scheme the originals had.




The bowmen. Swift-footed and keen-eyed, these minifigs are the main ranged troops.




Heavy Armsmen. Used to pack a real punch through any close-combat combatants and structures (giant war hammers and all), they move slower than their their lighter-armored counterparts, but they make up for it in sheer brute force.




These are the Halberdiers. The halberds I kept the same, kudos to Lord Mercat for inspiring me to sort of copy the design, and they are wearing generally the same armor and color scheme as the Heavy Armsmen. My heavy-armored troops are all running the same basic color scheme.







The Frostbornian cavalrymen are one of my favorite as far as design and color scheme go, I really like how these guys turned out.

Specialist Troops and Siege Weapons




Cannoneers. Though these guys won't show up in the story-arch or any major battles yet, I figured I'd put them up because I did give them a few slight modifications. The cannoneers will act like special ranged units and will also be the operators of any siege weapons using gun powder.




These are the slightly new and improved Siege Specialists, acting as officers of siege crews and making sure stuff blows up all according to plan.

Speaking of blowing stuff up:









Meet the new and improved Frostbornian Kannons, The wheel-mounted-boomsticks, whatever. I didn't change much to be honest with you, but I think it looks much better than their predecessors.




Oh, and here's the ballista. I didn't do anything at all with them so nothing new to see here.




Frostbornian Rangers. Armed with longbows and cloaked in white, these archers are neigh impossible to distinguish in the icy drifts.







Frostborne's heavy cavalry, mounted on great dire wolves that were once feared and hunted by Frostbornians, look at them now.













Some overview shots.

Total Troops : 56

Soon...

Everything in here is great, I wish all armies did a little battle scene to show their armies at the end of the update.

[Silverdream]

Beautiful.
