Don't own it myself, but wasn't Forgotten Pacts the Summoner themed expansion? This one seems like it ought to be witch themed.

It was for the first edition but here it was just a guess seeing we have a barbarian type on the cover. Kid Kyoto may be right that it could focus on Elementalist too but the main theme is a nature so Witches will have most fun here.

Or Paul Weller themed.

On Wildwoods:

Frostgrave: The Wild Woods.
It's not coming until June, but it's looking good!
This supplement brings a new dimension to games of Frostgrave, allowing players to lead expeditions into the wilderness north of the city, searching for undiscovered ruins and facing the perils of the Wildwoods.

This all sounds great to me. Brilliant to see Frostgrave getting continued support.

Grave Mutations

As well as…

The Wild Woods

“In this new expansion, your Wizards and their companions are going to be heading beyond the bounds of Felstad and exploring the Wildwoods that sit on its door. You will find rules for taking on expeditions that delve deep into the Wildwoods and the secret places and forgotten treasures that it harbours.

There will be new rules for additional soldiers and plenty of magical items to keep your wizards alive. You will have to contend with losing supplies, a hostile environment and some absolutely terrifying new creatures that will push you to your limits!”

“This supplement brings a new dimension to games of Frostgrave, allowing players to lead expeditions into the wilderness north of the city, searching for undiscovered ruins and facing the perils of the Wildwoods.

For years, spellcasters have flocked to the Frozen City, braving the perils of its ruins in the hunt for relics and forgotten magic. While the city still holds many such secrets, newly arrived wizards must delve deeper and fight harder to make their mark. A few turn from the city, seeking instead the remote settlements that surrounded ancient Felstad. Such expeditions are not without their own dangers, however – in the vast forests of the Wildwoods, death lurks in the empty cookpot and torn waterskin, in the cold of night and the looming storm, and in the teeth and claws of the beast behind the next tree…

This supplement for Frostgrave: Fantasy Wargames in the Frozen City takes players beyond the ruins with rules for running expeditions in search of secret places and forgotten treasures in the dark Wildwoods. New soldiers and magic items may improve wizards' chances of survival, but dwindling supplies, the hostile environment, and terrifying new creatures will push them to their limits in a range of scenarios set in these deep, foreboding forests.”

Please tell me that The Wild Woods is an excuse for us to start collecting Sylvaneth models...

Or that more pumpkin headed models are coming

Oh I'm pretty keen on this!

Frostgrave Kitchen: The Remodeling

This supplement’s proceeds bring a new dimension to my kitchen, allowing contractors to lead expeditions into the wilderness home improvement store of the city, searching for undiscovered cabinets, appliances, possibly a new sink with a decorative backsplash and maybe a marble topped island in the center of the space for facing the perils of the pantry.

Exhalted!

Or chibi bear miniatures.

If you go down in the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise
If you go down in the woods today
You'd better go in disguise!
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain
Because today's the day the
Teddy Bears have their picnic
Picnic time for Teddy Bears
The little Teddy Bears are having
A lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unawares
And see them picnic on their holiday

Now that would be cool.

No, it cannot be! Tis the terror from the ancient times! Defend yourselves!

Teddy Ruxpin in Frostgrave would be...damn scary.

FB:"Frostgrave: The Wildwoods.
The new Frostgrave supplement coming in June will feature a whole cast of Pre-Historic Mammals like Mammoths, Woolly Rhinos and Sabre-Tooth Tigers.''

Oh, that's fun. Any mention of a mini release along side it?

I really love Frostgrave minis. I hope they add more soon.

I guess I have to buy more to encourage them!

Heart breaking. One of my great desires is 28mm plastic wooly rhino cavalry.

Just saw the new supplement coming in June is to be followed at some point with female cultists in plastic!

Wasn't it plastic female Barbarians next?

Ah, seems that's already out.

Female barbarians already exist.

What I'd like to know is what wizard "class" does the Wildwoods expansion boost? Lich Lord was Necromancer, Breeding Pits introduced the Beastmaster option, Forgotten Pacts was for Summoners, and Fireheart for Enchanters. As I do not own Blood Legacy or The Red King, so I don't know if they boost any wizards classes. Personally, I think Wildwoods should expand options for Witches, but it could also be a pure wilderness supplement and not boost any class. {That assumes all wizards are bookish scholarly types more at home in a library or lab than outdoor types. However, considering the setting, one would expect any mage who is exploring Felstad must have acquired some outdoor survival skills during the journey to Felstad, regardless of how bookish they were before.}

That's super exciting! Are there any renders or box art images running about yet?

Not that I have seen. North Star made a post on Facebook saying that the female cultists would not be ready in time for the supplement release. Here’s what was said:

Frostgrave: Wildwoods. Released 22nd June 2023.
There won't be a massive new figure release for this book, and the next plastic box set (Cultist who are all cruel, evil woman) won't be ready in time.
But we are putting together a special 'Beasties' set for you, to get you a wide selection of the creatures you're likely to bump into outside the boundaries of Felstad.
Keep your frosty eyes on Facebook, Twitter and our newsletter. ❄️🌬👀

A pity they wont be here for June - and probably not for the rest of summer when I'll have some good time to get to them, but its exciting none the less.

The quality of the Barbarian women set was great- much better than the first set of barbarian men, so I'm really, really looking forward to this one. Hopefully less sculpted on capes though.

From FB: "In the new book for Frostgrave, The Wildwoods, your Wizard goes travelling out of the city. There are rules for transport, & you need models to represent your means of transport. It could be wagons, sleds, Constructs of Burden, or baggage Yaks.''
Looks like many opportunities for creative kitbashing/conversions there.

''Frostgrave Firekeepers.
This group of mysterious troglodytic humanoids live in many of the caves, dungeons, and catacombs in the wilderness around Frostgrave. There are numerous theories as to their origin, the most popular being that they are descendants of the original inhabitants of Felstad who somehow survived below ground during the cataclysm and have devolved over the generations. In truth, no one really knows. What is known is that these creatures are obsessed with fire, revering it as almost a god. They work hard to keep fires burning in their lairs, going into a frenzy should their fires be extinguished. Firekeepers are decidedly unfriendly to outsiders, and often attack without provocation. In combat they usually fight with crude hand weapons and torches. While not particularly fearsome fighters, Firekeepers do seem to have a strong resistance to some forms of magic, especially elemental magic.''

Nice models

Those look great! Will have to pick them up.
