Frosthaven - Banner Spear Proxy model....Stormcast style

 So one of my current monthly (sort of) games is Frosthaven.  We played and completed Gloomhaven and were excited about Frosthaven.....but not as much anymore I think.  The scenarios are still fun, if not a bit harder and longer (grindier?).  But the town building is a complete drag.  And I was really disappointed in the miniatures.  I think of Gloomhaven and Frosthaven as sort of bespoke games and they just should have better miniatures.  My first character was a Deathstalker and that mini was terrible so I printed a much better proxy for it (really should do a post for that).  When I retired that character I chose the Banner Spear and my next character class, but the included miniature was just terrible looking.  Enter Stormcaset Eternal Gwynne Ironsoul -

 

I then went crazy with magnets and made the banner removable and a couple of left arm swaps with an actual banner model for a banner summon.

I really like how this turned out and actually like the placed banner a bit more than the one she is holding.  Was sort of making that up as I went along using contrast paints and a bit of panel lining.  

Gynne wasnt actually my first proxy I made.  I kitbashed one from a Questor Soulsworn and some Stormcast parts and came up with something that I think was a good representation of the Frosthaven box art of the Banner Spear.

Forgive the pictures, those are my first attempt with a light box.

I think this actually is a great Banner Spear especially when looking at some of the Banner Spear art out there.  But the miniature presented a very large footprint that I thought would take up too much space on the board.  And in the end, Gynne Ironsoul turned out better than I could have imagined, both as a kitbash and the paint job.
