Frostgrave Knight for Oathmark

 As I was looking for the Anvil Industries' Brodie Helmets for the Heavy Infantry, I found some other Anvil heads, the Sallet ones.

The neck sockets need opening up to take the Anvil necks.
They are a bit late in style compared to the Oathmark figures but there is a Sallet helmet on the Frostgrave Knight sprue.

The sallet heads do suit the Frostgrave figures more than the Fireforge ones.

Emergency vacuum equipment

 I blame Patrick Todoroff for this figure. He has been teasing about a new Space dungeon crawl game (Scrapjacks) on his blog and that made me have a look at what I had for vacc suited figures.

Now I have some of Anvil's Biohazard figures (with bowl type space helmets) and their Astronauts but wondered what else I could build.

A number of the Stargrave Crew bodies have rather obvious neck rings that are suitable as seals for a helmet. It makes sense to wear lightweight vacuum proof clothing that you can quickly seal with a helmet if your ship springs a leak.

Here is one crewman ready to defend his ship from boarders.


After I started on this figre, realised there was not really a suitable mounting point for the air supply, other figures might have suitable straps, Just assume there are magnetic/electrostatic mounting points for the backpack.


Now to quote the author:

SCRAPJACKS will be a game about deep space salvagers working the derelict ships, the abandoned stations, and alien ruins on the fringes of colonized space.

So this figure is not really suitable for a player character, but possibly for an opposition figure.

For player charcters, I need to order some of Anvil's Void Salvager figures.

Oathmark Heavy Infantry with Brodie helmets

 

The previous Oathmark Human Heavy Infantry were built out of the box, but as previously shown, you can use Anvil Industries heads as well as heads from Frostgrave and Stargrave with the figures.

As I have already got some Soldiers with Brodie Helmets, it seemed logical to see what the Heavy Infantry figures looked like with the Brodie Gladiator helmets.

The neck socket needed to be opened out, first with a 3mm drill bit, followed by a 4mm and a 4.5mm drill bit. Super glue was used to fix the resin head to the plastic body.
The soldier figures and the knight were both armed with maces, so the Heavy Infantry figures used the two two-handed maces supplied on each sprue.
