I love your Fae stuff and really glad you are revisiting them. I’ll be cooking up something festive with these for when the family visit at Xmas
Winter's Coming Early | News from the Forge
|
We’re back with another first look at some of the models coming to next month’s subscription and it seems winter has decided to arrive a little early this year...
In October’s release, a cold, creepy mix of old winter folklore, snow-covered villages and things best left outside once the sun goes down.
We know it's a little early to start thinking festive, but we figured it's better to share this release early so you've got plenty of time to hobby this set in preparation!
That being said, here are three of the frosty horrors knocking on your door next month.
Kicking things off are the Snow Effigies, a cheerful reminder that not everything the local children build should be encouraged.
Made from snow, sticks and whatever happens to be lying around, these crooked little figures are harmless enough during the day. It’s only when they start turning up somewhere else the next morning (usually carrying something they definitely didn’t have before) that the charm begins to quickly wear off.
Next is the Ropebound Ancient, for those who thought chopping down the tree would be the end of the argument.
Still bound in the ropes meant to carry it away, this massive old thing has other plans, dragging itself back toward the forest on broken roots and taking anything unfortunate enough to get tangled up with it along for the journey. A particularly bad day to be in the timber business.
And finally, there's Grelda, the Midwinter Hag.
Huge, hunched and accompanied by an equally unsettling cat, Grelda brings the nastier side of old winter folklore to the release. She has a habit of appearing as something much less threatening before asking to be let inside, which makes the traditional advice of don’t open the door feel unusually practical.
The Snow Effigies, Ropebound Ancient and Grelda are just the start of what’s waiting in the snow this October. The rest of this release continues the same mix of strange Fae, grim winter folklore and cosy seasonal traditions gone slightly, horribly wrong.
As always, there’s also a standalone lore book to bring these creatures to your tabletop, along with a species decorative tree terrain piece...
We’ll be revealing the rest soon!
Cheers,
The Bestiarum Crew
