Some news from Oathmark with regards to what they’re making this year (this was released in January but I’ve only just found it):
North Star said:
Oathmark. We will have a regular release schedule for plastic Oathmark figures this year, including: Human Cavalry, Dwarf Light Infantry, Revenants, Orcs and Goblin Lt Infantry.
All of these sound great. The Medieval Celtic Human Infantry are great so I’m certainly looking forward to their Cavalry, Oathmark Dwarves look great too so I’m interested to see what their Light Infantry will be like.
The Oathmark Skeletons look like the Cauldron-born from the Black Cauldron which I really enjoy, and here’s a piece of art they’ve done for the Revenants:
Some wonderful La Tene Celtic aesthetics there. Apparently these are on the side of the good guys, fighting to fulfil oaths they swore in life, and their mummified look, their ability to retain the fighting skills they developed in life and elite status all come together to make them look like a combination of Celts, the Dead of Dunharrow and Tomb Kings, which is frankly wonderful. Apparently there will also be Cavalry for these at some point, but for now I’m certainly looking forward to the Infantry.
Light Infantry for their gobbos will also be fun to see, and it’ll be interesting to see what their Orcs look like in relation to the Goblins, who themselves heavily resemble Tolkien Orcs. Perhaps Oathmark Orcs will resemble Uruk-Hai or something.
Regardless, I can’t wait to see all these releases arrive. Oathmark fills me with joy because every faction they’ve developed so far in this range looks great, and there is no faction so far that I dislike, which is frankly amazing given how much I grumble about my least favourite factions in other games
EDIT: Beasts of War have managed to procure some early pics of the Revenants and Human Cavalry. Revenants first:
These look pretty good, with Celtic Swords, Bronze Age Axes and the champion wearing the Waterloo Helmet. Also their poses are more energetic than the Skeletons, reflecting their combat skills being retained from their days as living soldiers. I’m looking forward to seeing the sprue for the full inventory of parts.
Next the Human Cavalry:
Not so many Celtic moustaches as the Infantry set, but I imagine the heads are interchangeable with those in the Infantry box, and I especially like the champion head with the Roman officer’s plume, making these chaps look like Dark Ages Romano-British, who continued to uphold the old Celtic languages and customs before the arrival of the Germanic peoples. Also the horses look brilliant, all in galloping poses.
Another two great sets here, I look forward to seeing them arrive in force! The Human Cavalry are believed to be galloping in at the end of May, while the Revenants will be arising from the barrows sometime in June.
