  • Gnolls are a common enemy in a number of fantasy settings, and the plastic Frostgrave Gnolls kit gives you a ton of options for outfitting these bestial, barbaric warriors. They're also a lot of fun to paint! READ MORE:
    There's also a range of metal figures which compliment and expand on the basic gnolls, letting you include templars, trackers, knights or similar in the horde - ideal if you're looking for a Big Bad for your group's D&D sessions or you're in need of a little hired muscle in your Frostgrave warbands. The plastic box is a really brilliant kit, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself figuring out how I wanted to recreate the spotted hyena look on the table!

    I just picked up a sprue of these frostgrave gnolls for about £3. Was looking for some painting inspiration as they're mostly covered in leathers and cloth and I wasn't sure how to accentuate the fur parts of the mini. This video was a massive, massive help thank you man.

      I'm a little late to the party, but I've really enjoyed what I'm reading through in the book. I think I'm going to take the approach of finding some stand-ins or proxies for some of the miniatures since there is quite a list of requirements, but it might be fun to find some card stands or other markers for dime-a-dozen villains like flies!

      I've decided to replace the flies with Skaven rat men instead. Cooler mob, nice models and you can easily translate the mobs abilities over.

    I've eyed the Gnoll box for a while now. I'm glad to see what the sculpts look like painted.
    Gnolls don't get nearly as much love as other fantasy races. In D&D, they were never that complicated or nuanced, and 5th edition only saw them _lose_ what little of it they had in 4th. Now they're basically demons in everything but name, rather than people in their own right. Certainly nothing the designers intend to allow people to run as player characters.
    Almost out of contrarianism, I've made a point of trying to give Gnolls nuance. Without wholly discarding the demonic connection, as I like to keep certain aspects of "official lore" intact, where it's useful to do so.
