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.

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.

Oathmark Human Heavy Infantry

 North Star have recently released the latest box set (and metal characters) for Oathmark - Human Heavy Infantry.

The plastic box set builds 30 figures.

There are six sprues in the box, each sprue builds five figures.

Heavy Infantry only have hand weapon and shield or two handed weapon options. The armour is plate reinforcement over leather or heavy cloth.

There is a standard bearer option but no musician. There are also five of the rectangular Oathmark Human shields, these ones show a little wear and tear.

Hand weapons include one mace, two axes, three swords and one Hero sword.

Two handed weapons include two maces, two axes and one sword.

There are only ten heads and there are not many duplicates to make the bulk of your amy similar. However, there is one head similar to the hero with the closed helmet on the Human Infantry sprue, so I will be using that for the bulk of my force.

Oathmark Dwarf Heavy Infantry

 The third Dwarf box set for Oathmark builds Dwarf Heavy Infantry in the form of Dwarf Warriors and Dwaf Linebreakers.

The box contains six identical sprues, each of which can build five figures.

The sprue can build five Warriors in heavy armour with hand weapons and shields, or five Linebreakers armed with two handed weapons.

Four of the five Dwarfs plus an orc interloper.

I should have paid a bit more attention, these were supposed to be all Dwarfs.

Oathmark Goblin and Dwarf.

The obligatory William Killian comparison.

This is the missing Dwarf.
