The Queen's Guard - Oathmark Human Heavy Infantry

As previously noted, I bought the pre-order offer for the Oathmark Human Heavy Infantry from North Star.

This included the metal Queen, Magician, Musician and three heroes.

It was not much of a leap to theme the figure build around the Queen, in heavy armour.

This is the first four plastics and the metal queen figure.

As this will be led by a queen figure, I thought a standard would be a nice touch. Though there are rules for standards in one of the expansion books, I thought to use it to highlight that this was a queen rather than one of the other champion figures.

So I needed a standard. The ones in the human sets are a bit weedy, so I had a look through my other sprues and thought the one from the Gripping Beast Goth Elite Cavalry looked useful (the cavalry were being used for Elf Heavy Cavalry).
The standard arm was drilled out to take 1.6mm brass rod, as was the standard.
The Heavy Infantry set does not include a left hand standard bearer sword arm, so I used one from the standard infantry set.

The first two ranks.


Getting close to an Oathmark mini army (heavy infantry and a King/Queen character are very points heavy). The mini-army is the Queen and nineteen heavy infantry warriors. 

Just one rank to go.
