Oathmark Revenant Infantry - two ranks of Revenants with sword and shield

 So having completed one rank of Revenant with two handed weapons, it was time to build two ranks with hand weapons and shields.

One of them is going to be a Champion, so was built with the officer arm and was given some bits of personal equipment from various Frostgrave sprues.

The bases have been milliputted and they have been undercoated.

Oathmark Heavy Elf Infantry

 North Star have just released their Elf Heavy Infantry for Oathmark.

Five figures per sprue, and six sprues.

Each sprue can build six heavy armoured Elves, all armed with hand weapon and shield or two handed weapon (or a combination of the two) There is also components to build a standard bearer and an officer.

The sprue does not contain enough swords or axes (one or two handed) to build five axe or five sword, you will need to combine parts from separate sprues.

Oathmark Revenant Champion - Painted

 So this Revenant Champion was definitely undercoated in February 2023. At some point the haft of the two handed mace got a coat of Citadel Dryad Bark.

But it skulked in the figure case unloved and unregarded like the Revenant infantry.

And now finally it is painted.

The figure is based on a Renedra 25mm diameter plastic base, the figure's puddle base is blended into the base with Milliput. Woodland Scenics fine cinder ballast was added over PVA glue.

The flesh is Citadel Rakarth Flesh. The hair, leggings and the cloak are Vallejo Black Grey. The skirt is a mix of Vallejo Black Grey and Citadel Dryad Bark.

The haft of the mace and the shoes are Citadel Dryad Bark.

The metal work (chest plate, mace head, leg guards, wrist guard and brooch) were painted with MIG Black Green.

The skin was shaded with Citadel Seraphim Sepia.

The metalwork was weathered with Citadel Nihilakh Oxide.

Brown areas were shaded with Citadel Agrax Earthshade. The grey areas were shaded with Citadel Nuln Oil. 

The fur collar was shaded with both Agrax Earthshade and Nuln Oil.

The jewel was painted with Army Painter Stone Golem, and then Citadel Warpstone Glow.

Oathmark Revenant Infantry - Painted

 The Oathmark Revenant Infantry were released at the end of June 2021, I assembled the first rank in August that year. They were undercoated before February 2023.

Finally I have painted them.

Based on the traditional Renedra 25mm diameter bases, the puddle bases were blended in with Milliput.

Woodland Scenics fine cinder ballast was applied over PVA glue.

They were undercoated with Citadel Chaos Black spray.

The flesh  and the plume are Citadel Rakarth Flesh, leggings Citadel Steel Legion Drab.

For the next lot I might change the plumes to Army Painter Stone Golem and wash with Citadel Soulblight Grey.

The skirt and boots are Citadel Catachan Flesh.

The axe haft is Citadel Dryad Bark.

The metalwork was painted with MIG Black Green.

Citadel Nihalakh Oxide was used for the weathering, inspired by the exhibits at the World of Stonehenge exhibition.

The flesh and plume were washed with Citadel Seraphim Sepia.

The leggings, boots and skirt were drybrushed with Citadel Terminatus Stone and then washed with Citadel Agrax Earth Shade.

The whole first rank.

Wargames Atlantic Skeleton Cavalry

 Wargames Atlantic released the Skeleton Cavalry box set a while ago.

As it says on the tin box, there are ten horses, two chariots and twenty five skeletons.

The twenty five skeletons include the riders and crew of the horses and chariots, but can be built in a number of combinations (see the box text above).

The skeletons are of the Ray Harryhausen style with Ancient Greek style kit, shields and armour.

There are no instructions, but it appears the chariot can be built either as an open sided or closed sided chariot.

The intention is to build the horses as zombie/revenant style so they will need some internals and skin added. The crew may need kit-bashing with the Oathmark Revenant Infantry to match the more Northern European style,

Frostgrave Scatter Terrain

 Frostgrave needs lots of scatter terrain otherwise magic and ranged weapons do not lead to a fun experience.

A Goblin emerges from behind the barrels.

They are Debris of War Large Barrels.

They have been painted as if they have been under the ice that buried Feldstadt. The wood is dark and grey and the metalwork is rusted.

Various shades of grey dry brushed over a Citadel Chaos Black spray undercoat.

The iron hoops were painted with a mix of Army Painter Black, Army Painter Chaotic Red and Vallejo Black Grey.

Citadel Ryza Rust was then applied.

The whole thing was then washed with Citadel Nuln Oil.

Oathmark Human Light Infantry

 In March 2024 North Star released the Human Light Infantry for Oathmark.

The box contains four sprues, each of which can build five of any combination of Human Rangers and Human Militia (Light Infantry)

There are five sets of melee weapon and shield and five sets of bows.

The shields are a slightly more tatty version of the shield found in the Human Infantry set.

There are components to build command and standard figures. There some additional weapons and packs.

There are five hooded and five heads in pudding basin helmets, plus five other heads.

All heads are compatible with other Oathmark and Frostgrave human heads and bodies.

Five rangers (awaiting fitting of quivers).

Oathmark Mini-Army

The Human Militia are a lot cheaper than the rank and file Human Soldiers (they are also not as good), so you can a lot more figures. The Rangers, however, are more expensive than the rank and file archers.

For an Oathmark mini-army I have chosen to represent a minor lord's force without either a City Guard (Spears) or his retinue. A trusted captain leads the force.

• Human Captain
• Six ranks of Human Militia
• Two ranks of Human Rangers

Frostgrave Cultists II

 So after four odd years, Frostgrave Cults go Co-Ed!

Like the male Frostgrave Cultists, the female Cultists II box contains four identical sprues, each containing five cultist bodies, an assortment of melee and ranged weapons plus components for making female zombies.

The great thing about them is their compatibility with the other Frostgrave and Stargrave figures.

This cultist for Stargrave or Five Parsecs From Home uses one of the cultist bodies with the machine gun arms and a hooded and masked head from the Stargrave Scavengers II set

I now have to build some "out of the box" to reinforce my Necromancer's army.
