Oathmark Human Armies - alternative sources.

 When Frostgrave came out, I bought three boxes of Fireforge Deus Vult on a three for two offer.

I have sprue photographs here.

I recently bought the Medieval Archers and Foot Sergeants boxes (sprue photographs here).

The plan is to use them to build different human factions for Oathmark.

Oathmark Mini-Armies: Work In Progress

 My current plan is to build some mini-armies for Oathmark (based on the minimum points value suggested in the rules).

The first is an Elf Light Infantry army.

This is based on an entirely Elf Ranger army.

Yes, that is the entire army, four ranks plus stragglers.

They will need to keep their distance and hope their extended bow range can pick off their enemies before they can close.

The Elf Light Infantry box contains six ranks of figures, so there was enough figures left over for an alternative army list.

One rank of Rangers plus the stragglers are exchanged for a level one Spellcaster and a rank of Pathguard

It still looks like a tiny army.

This is the work in progress Gnoll mini-army. I still have two ranks of infantry to assemble.

Of course, getting this lot painted is another matter.

Oathmark - Frostgrave Human Soldier comparison

 On the Lead Adventure Forum there was a discussion on the relative sizes of the Frostgrave Soldiers and the Oathmark Human Infantry.

Here is a comparison shot of a Frostgrave Soldier and an Oathmark Human Infantryman.

I cannot see any major differences.

Gnoll Linebreakers for Oathmark

 

Bandit for Zona Alfa

One of the many threats facing parties exploring The Zone are Bandits. These fighters have a range of equipment but all have a bad attitude.

A member of the Crooked Dice Militia 2 as a Zone bandit.

One of the squad has not spotted the Bandit on the other side of the container.

With an Empress Modern figure for comparison.

The bandit is sneaking past the rat swarms.

 

T-55 Soviet Main Battle Tank

The T55 Main battle Tank was the Soviet Union's primary tank for a number of years, and was still in production (for export) after the T62 (its successor) ceased production.

This is the Empress Miniatures T55 model. It is a multi-part resin and white metal kit. The resin is a slightly yellowy white and seems to take superglue well.

It comes with loader and commander hatches, a DSHK machine gun, two rear fuel drums and white metal had rails for the turret.

I replaced the white metal had rails with 0.7mm brass rod.

I also added a coax machine gun from 1mm brass rod. 1mm brass rod was also used for the (stub) of the aerial.

I have still got to add some restraining straps on the fuel drums.

What is not shown is the plastic rod I have used to secure the unhitching beam.

Far Far Away...
