They’ll tower over those Warlord Romans.

Oh, if the Oathmark skellies are still big enough to be significantly larger than those, they should fit in perfectly with many historicals actually; even better. Already did a druidy Frostgrave warband using Celtic historicals some years ago; might build on that further.

Liking the look of those Revenants though. Those Oathmark undead are shaping up to be rather a great range.

Except, if they are similar in size to the skeletons, they are small as hell.

It kind of stands to reason, though: people usually have those things inside themselves, plus some other stuff

Right, but if they are not in scale with other manufacturers then everything looks odd. Especially with those of us who have decade spanning collections.

It really depends, I think, on your priorities. If your priority is to create minis for your game instead of other peoples', well, it doesn't matter much.

I mean, take GW for example, their minis aren't even in scale with their minis of the same range, FFS.

Highlord Tamburlaine holds an Oathmark skeleton next to a WA skeleton in his latest Obscurities in Miniature painting progress video, and the Oathmark skeleton looks smaller than I was prepared to believe in comparison. They might be a match for the Warlord Tomans after all.

Regarding that art, I love the Dutch Angle.

small enough to use as hobbit/halfling skeletons in 28mm I wonder?

How do oathmark dwarf torsos matchagainst oathmark human torsos?

The dwarven heavy infantry looks like it has some torsos I'd be keen to cut off and put on the legs of some of the humans if they were the proper scale with each other.

For that matter I'm assuming that all the frostgrave stuff is also the same scale as oathmark?

Revenant box cover

Those are just not very good. Especially the horses, though the riders are pretty weak too. But you have to have 1/3 of your horses falling down.

I hadn’t noticed that, but now I’m chortling.
Looks like a bunch of Artaxes in search of some mud.


Hmmm..

I have plenty of spare horse head bits leftover, some mud-textured paint, and some spare cavalry bases. GB’s heavy Arab cavalry come with spare torsos heads and arms... I think I just found a way to really stretch that cavalry box value.

Proof of concept for Artaxian cavalry. Make these the front row, then the diving horses next, followed by horses who don’t know what’s about to happen to them.

Revenants and their sprue, new expansion cover

This might sound weird, but I think those revenants are too buff. They're not withered enough. They look like normal humans painted grey with skull-ish faces.

I wish they had gaunt, mummified limbs to match their heads, with the armor hanging onto shrunken torsos.

I agree that the contrast between the skeletal heads and muscular limbs is rather jarring. I think they would look better with some of the arms from the skeleton kit and from the Frostgrave cultist sprue mixed in to give them more of an animated corpse aesthetic. On the plus side a head swap with human heads would give you mortal troops. I’m using Frostgrave cultists and WHFB chaos warriors alongside my Oathmark skeletons in an Oathmark army and these Revenants would fit in nicely however I choose to kitbash them.

Fair point on the limbs looking a bit too healthy but that does make them more useful for kitbashing.

And given some folks recommend ghoul heads for Tolkien Orcs, some of these heads may also work for Tolkien Orcs.

This box is definitely on my “to buy” list.

They would make good dunlendings with headswaps.

LOVE those revenants! I need at least two box of them. I would be happy enough with chariot and undead cavalry...

On the other hand I'm planning to buy a box of human cavalry and use heads, weapons and shields from elven sprue in order to build light elf cavalry. Do you think will work?

Personally I'd leave it as they've promised Elf cavalry at some point.

New undead characters

Lovely sculpt

More characters:

A review for the upcoming Bane of Kings https://mustcontainminis.com/2021/06/first-look-at-oathmark-bane-of-kings.html

I thought the Oathmark models looked too cartoonish for me but I was wrong. They don't have the oversized hands and feet of GW models. They're just a bit chunky/squat.

All the humans have a ton of character in their faces, it reminds me of Battle Brothers or The Banner Saga.

I know the Elves got dunked on in this thread but they look great too. Even if you don't play Oathmark, they could make nice Rangers for DnD or Robin Hood-esque characters. Both kits.

Very charming models and fun to build. I wish they would sell an entire sprue of alternate heads.

Elves are great with a very classic(al) looking. I'm just finishing to paint them! I love Northstar's kits, they are simple to put together but give enough variety to the troops.

Ordered Bane of kings, hope it arrives soon!

More art from Bane of Kings. Do I see an orc there?

Also looks like we can spot elf heavy infantry, elf cavalry, maybe dwarf light infantry (I think other glimpses of them feature mining picks, but they wear similar cloth outfits), maybe human heavy cavalry (can't tell if they're meant to be in the presently released full helmets or the full helmets seen on the maquette). I feel like I've seen art featuring all of these except for the elf cavalry before?

The human cavalry was a rare misstep in the range with the amount of copy/pasted bits, especially from a range that prides itself with cross-kit compatibility - so while it's nice to see elf cavalry in art, I'm crossing my fingers it won't feel lazy in plastic.

I like this art much more than high fantasy Wow/Aos extravaganza art.

Oh yeah, love the artwork. Has a very evocative and atmospheric style.

How tall are the Humans, Elfs & Skeletons in comparision to other Ranges like Wargames Atlantic Humans?

My guess is they are all a bit smaller than Wargames Atlantic, but I don't have any WGA to compare them to.
