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

Oathmark Dwarf Light Infantry

 After buying the Dwarf Infantry sprue at Salute in 2017 (and reinforcing the five dwarfs with a box in 2020), here is another North Star plastic box set that builds thirty lightly equipped Dwarf Infantry.


The box contains six identical sprues, each of which builds five figures.
Each sprue can build five dwarfs with bows and hand weapons (for Border Guards) or five with two handed mining tools (for Militia).
For the Border Guards, it is important to attach the head before the right arm as the right arm can interfere with the beard.
