Oathmark Second Edition

 So back in 2020 just as we came out from the first round of quarantine, Osprey Games released the new Fantasy Mass Battle game Oathmark.

Just over six years later, the new edition has been released.

Review to follow.

X19A2 Hard Suits

 

Wargames Atlantic have released three hard plastic kits for the Golden Dragon Marcher: Empires At War game. The game appears to be a Weird War 2 variant, though the participants are currently unclear. The three kits are all for American forces.

The only one that interested me is the X19A2 Badger hard suit.

The kit (for four suits) is in a standard sized box.

There are four sprues (each sprue building one hard suit) and one large base sprue.

There is a set of full colour decals included.

There are no instructions included, but there are some on the Wargames Atlantic site here.

Looking at the instructions, they are quite complicated, this does allow the individual suits to be posed, but they are not in general articulated.

The figure was undercoated with Citadel Zandri Dust spray.

Body is Citadel Dryad Bark, horns are Army Painter Skeleton Bone.

There are some Gamers Grass Gnarled Branches on the base.

Operation Benevolent Prospector - Oil Drums

Pastria has a number of colonial territories in the polar region.

One area of concern has been the uninvited deployment of two Ayeland Marine Reconnaissance Regiments to one of Pastria's polar territories, a large island rumoured to have extensive and untapped mineral and oil resources.

As a polar region, there is snow, so this small piece of scatter terrain is my first attempt at modelling snow.

Four Debris of War Oil Drums were pinned (using plastic rod) to a Products for Wargamers MDF scatter base (the edges were chamferred using a file). The rod visible between the oil drums is to take a marker stick - it snows a lot and tall red and white post is secured in the centre of any stores left outside so it can be found if the snow buries them.

The drums were then held in place by Milliput as the drifted snow.

The edges of the base were painted with PVA glue and Woodland Scenics fine ash ballast added on top.

Once dry the whole thing was undercoated with Citadel Corax White spray.

The gravelly bits were then painted with Vallejo Black Grey paint.

The oil drums were painted with Humbrol 155 Olive acrylic, dry brushed with Citadel Nurgling Green and washed with Citadel Athonian Camoshade.

Spilled fuel was simulated with Citadel Drakenhof Nightshade.

Snow was built up using Citadel Valhallan Blizzard Technical.

Wargames Atlantic Damned Mauler ATV

 Wargames Atlantic have just released their first vehicle, an ATV for their interpretation of Chaos Infantry.

The kit comprises three sprues and has both an APC and a load carrier variant.
