OATHMARK SKELETON INFANTRY

Product Information

How many miniatures come in a box? 30. Doing the math, that gets you six of the above sprues. Built Skeletons

Some kit bashing by Codex d’Araden (this also gives a further scale comparison to some more brands too) There is some math to determine to “hit target” numbers and the points for your army, but nothing that would be a deal breaker for me. The game expects your models to be based on 25mm bases for your regular sized infantry, 25mm by 50mm for your cavalry and 50mm bases for your large figures. 50mm by 100mm bases are reserved for your biggest miniatures in the game. It doesn’t matter if you use round or square bases. The official miniatures come with square bases, but I plan to base them on rounds because I plan to use them for other games too (like Frostgrave). Here it is, you get 8 plastic frames of skeleton miniatures. Aside from the integrated bases on 3/4s of the miniatures, there are no bases to speak of here. Wargames Atlantic Skeleton Warriors Plastic Miniatures Box Set comes with 8 identical plastic frames with no bases. And for the last step, the heads. Again, quite freely posable due to the small connection area. The bronce age style really makes them very generic and flexible in use.So what caught me with the Oathmark ones? First of all, they are generic and can be used widely, not overdrawn like the Mantic ones, not the Harryhausens like Wargames Factory or Atlantic ones, and not 32mm+ as the most recent Games Workshop iteration. Do we know their rules? Well, not yet, but hopefully soon! Osprey Games is still to release this book. It will likely be coming out along side these miniatures this November (2020).

Looking at the plastic frames of the Oathmark Skeleton Infantry, you will notice that you get enough hand weapons, spears, and bows that you can equip every skeleton with anyone of those options. That gives you the flexibility you need to arm your undead army how you wish. Speaking of skeletons, these are some guys I assembled a while ago; they aren't extensively converted, just some tweaks here, and a reposition there - plus a head or weapon swap. I think we are trough with the missing units. Regarding monsters and artillery, I wouldn't make any prophecies, because there is only one official monster, and zero official artillery available. Thats to few to draw any lesson from it. And the characters?Northstar has a lot of metal miniatures, the tooling for metal casts is relativelyeasy to make, so there is everything possible! Faction of Demons (Im not in love with them, but a lot of players could be attracted to Oathmark with it, and I think thatOathmark could be real successorof WHFB, but only if every former player finds a place for his army...) Battlesworn was the first expansion to be published and anticipation was high on my account. I expected an army book on one of the missing races, like Undead, but instead got something else entirely.As an Undead fan who started the Warhammer hobby in the late 90’s, I already had the GW kits on hand. For the purposes of this article I bought one sprue of each kit from other manufacturers. It makes a lot of sense for wargamers to look at miniatures available outside Games Workshop when they’re looking for gaming pieces. Early on in my hobby days I often wondered how I could fill out an army without paying the GW tax for their ‘premium’ models. There weren’t many options at that time, and finding them could be difficult. Today however there are a variety of models available. Mantic recently released Ancient Egyptian styled skeletons in their Army of Dust, they look neat, but don’t really fit the flavor of this article. Games Workshop: 1988 Skeleton Warriors First plastic skeleton warriors with metal command. Source: Undead Army Book by Games Workshop First off for this Oathmark Review, I want to say that this book was an enjoyable read. It is a great book with high production values. I really like the combat rules and love that the game comes with campaign rules. There is not much “fluff” to the system, but I was never a fan of game “fluff” anyhow. I just want to roll dice and play games. Since I am having fun with this post, I want to share some more images of the Wargames Atlantic Skeleton Warriors. Here you can see how the miniatures look individually. This guy I used for the title image turned out great! A Skeleton Archer. I love the way these skeleton warriors turned out. They look great with the large shields. The difference between the races is subtle, but it works. I would have preferred to see more than just four races in the core rule book. This is not a game that will fit every army you have from other games as WYSIWYG. That said, proxy in the models you like for this game. If you have a whole bunch of Halfling miniatures, substituent them in for Goblins, Humans or Dwarfs. Perhaps you have Lizardmen. There are no rules for them here, but proxy them in as Orcs. These are narrative games and it is really up to you and your opponent on how to play.

In this post you will see the plastic sprues of the miniatures, some completed (and painted) figures, plus the Champions and Characters available to the army. Skeleton Spearman / Javelin Unit One – These are also the ones that I built without the integrated bases. A few are standing up while one sits and one is crawling out of the ground. Here I discuss how I took on the challenge of the 8 harder to build miniatures in the set.

Games Workshop:

I don’t have a picture of the champion to share here, but he is in the video below. All of the miniatures here, I built using just the contents of this boxed set. Scale Comparison Image

While I really enjoyed these miniatures, I have two criticisms that I want to make sure that my readers are aware of. The second criticism is that one miniatures per sprue of four figures is more difficult to build than the others. If you are good at modeling, this won’t matter. If you are a novice, know that you may be walking into a challenge with some of the kit. That said, you could also use those 8 figures as bits for bases and terrain elements if you don’t feel like building them up. You could also chop off their legs and have them coming out of the ground like I did with one in the video review.If you are interested in how the different races play, and how to build your models as “What you See is What You Get,” Must Contain Minis has articles for you! Oathmark Review Engineers for every race: I dont think, that it will ever be separate engineer boxes. Only a few from them are needed, and the different races mean different sprues... Or a combined sprue? Because there would be no need for so many weapon options, means, there would be more place for bodies. For example 2 bodies from every race (including orcs and goblins) and some weapons? Sounds good, but not very likely... We're already at the point of adding final touches, handing three of them a shield, the archer a quiver and the top bar for the standard.
