All hail Princess Romina!

Not too long ago, Christian converted a Eureka warrior frog in response to Romi's characteristic complaint of "how come there aren't any girl ones?" Eureka loved it and are now casting the frog princess - Princess Romina!

Princess Romina is the beloved daughter of King Ribbidibit, and is in danger of being captured by the evil Captain Pondscum who wants to make her his bride! (Okay, so maybe I just made that last bit up ... no progress on the storyline for the battle for Frogonia just yet)

I'm "Princess Romina", so maybe I'm biased BUT check out the fantastic detail in the conversion sculpting!

Royalist forces race ahead in battle for army completion!

That's right folks, King Ribbidibit's troops look to snare victory in this first of battles! As rumours surface of an oncoming assault by Captain Pondscum and his crew, another five patriots have enlisted to march against him in an epic battle for Frogonia.

Here are the latest snaps:

Private Google is good with a hammer:

Bumble trundles along with his standard:

Bean, the lean, mean, fly-eating machine:

 

Tidlix, a frog that needs no introduction:

And Elmer, a serious frog:

 

These guys are pretty much done. Just some flocking and what-not missing on the bases - but all in good time, my friends.

What do you think?

PP makes progress!

Hi all,

Have finally gotten around to some more painting. Here are the newest additions to King Ribbidibit's army!

Scrump

 

Rango

Tisk

Plenty more still to come! (Hopefully in the not-so-distant future!)

Putty-ing it right ...

This weekend saw my froggies acquire some basing! Okay, so maybe not all that much, but it's progress ...

These little guys still have a way to go, but here are some pics to give you an idea of how big King Ribbidibit's forces will be! (not including the 'special' pieces, soon to come):

Not the best photos ever, but at least it's an idea of how it's going. I'm notorious for never finishing bases, so stay tuned because I am going to get these done!

Hammering away!

Here are the first followers of the great King Ribbidibit!

Meet Gilbert:

For the skin, I used Scorpion Green, washed over with Thraka Green and then highlighted with a mix of Scorpion Green and Sunburst Yellow. The belly is a lighter Scorpion Green.

The hat is Red Gore, washed over with Devlan Mud and highlighted with a lighter Blazing Orange. The feather is Mordian Blue with an Asurman Blue wash and light Mordian Blue highliting.

The hammer is Scorched Brown, lightened using Blazing Orange, with Badab Black wash and highlighted with a lighter mix of the same colour. The fungus is Liche Purple with Blazing Orange.

The eyes are Chaos Black on Blazing Organge lightened using Sunburst Yellow. And the grass blades are Orkhide Green with Badab Black wash, highlited with Orkhide Green lightened with Skull White.

And this is Wick:

Same colours as Gilbert for the skin and eyes. The hammer is a darker version of Gilbert's with Red Gore and Sunburst Yellow fungus.

I've got plenty more of these little guys to come!

Capt. Pondscum et al.

I have been working on Captain Pondscum and his associated ruffians.

Starting with the "basic" frog warriors from Eureka, I've picked out the ones with rifles and other firearms to keep with the piratical theme. Don't worry, they only shoot pellets. Not sure how this will affect our games rules-wise, but I'll be facing up against cannon fire, mallets and deadly bamboo spears!

Anyway, on to the minis!

As you can see, I've been busy converting these chaps before giving them a lick of paint! On the Capt. I made him a pirate hat and a red sash - every pirate should have one! So I also sculpted sashes on all my infantry, and a bandana on the musician.

Lots of fun, and more to come!

For the glory of Frogonia and all that is web-footed and amphibious!

Hello, and welcome to our new blog: Battle of Frogonia!

Having recently picked up several of Eureka's frog warriors, we are embarking on a new project for 2011. This will be a skirmish-level game of amphibian antics as two factions battle for supremacy in the backyard fishpond Kingdom of Frogonia.

The Royalist forces of King Ribbidibit, defending all that is good and green in the world, will be pitted against the piratical warband of his evil half-brother Capt. Pondscum.

We are going to set up a campaign that takes place in a neglected corner of a garden, with objectives and terrain coming from the "real" world: a discarded child's tea-set becomes Castle Ribiddibit; a few opened sugar packets become a vital objective; and left-over firecrackers, devastating warmachines.

So sit back and prepare for war on a different scale!
