Goblin slaves

Oh I like this. The slings alone are a game changer for Skaven fans

Also cool that they have the same shackles and chains system as the Empire Flagellants

**Kid_Kyoto**

Oh I like those a lot. I've been thinking I need some all-purpose morlocks and these would do the job nicely.

**Grumpy Gnome**

Liking these, I will need some to add to the collection.

**lord_blackfang**

Anyone have an idea of size? Wondering if they could pass for humans in rags too with a headswap.

**Johanxp**

Very happy to see new minis for the game.

**KidCthulhu**

We need to get McDougall to sell these by the sprue ASAP.

EDIT: I can't spell

If someone can garuntee me 40 boxes worth of orders across the product line I will happily bring in oathmark and frostgrave.

Same thing with victrix.

Edit:

To clarify, I mean immediate orders, not orders-over-time.

Holy Where There’s A Whip, Batman!

Looks like SprueDude has most Oathmark infantry sprues (currently all out of stock) going for $9 each (5 figures).

Oathmark goblins here which I assume are the same size as slaves. If you are like me and your humans are GW/Mantic/Fireforge fantasy sized than the slaves will be tiny, more like hobbits than humans.

**Psychopomp**

Oathmark goblins would be roughly the height of a Northstar or other 28mm/28mm heroic human if standing upright, but they're very hunched over. They very much match some interpretations of Tolkien uruks, while the Oathmark orc kits match the descriptions of uruk-hai, standing upright and being the height of a man or slightly taller.

If used next to some of the modern "28mm heroic" lines that are actually pushing 32-35mm, then yes, the Oathmark goblins will be tiny.

After seeing the assembled & painted models, it looks like I'll definitely be buying my first Oathmark box.

These look great and will be a welcome addition to my homebrew dungeon crawl.

Another big yikes on a North Star paintjob

Isn't this the same skin tone they used for Revenants?

**Shadow Walker**

New goblins scale comparison with new orcs (which are Oathmark human in scale)

**pancakeonions**

Has there been any chat about releasing elf cavalry? I don't see any on their products page, but wonder if something might be in the works?

**Johanxp**

Old rumors were about Goblin slaves and elven cavalry so maybe next one will be an elf release.

**stonehorse**

Northstar really do make some fantastic fantasy kits. Great value for money, plus a plethora of options on the sprues.

There is already art for elved heavy infantry, so that's the next one. But beyond that, who knows?

**stonehorse**

Elven cav have artwork... well, they are in the background in a piece of artwork.

**Shadow Walker**

I think that they said that there will be also a human heavy cavalry in plastic. And we still need heavy infantry for orcs, humans and elves.

**Grumpy Gnome**

I seem to recall Nick at North Star said in an interview that they intended to make Elven Cavalry at some point.

Found it…

“Nick Eyre: What’s next for Oathmark? I feel like we’ve hardly started. Joseph McCullough has already written supplement 1 which introduces the Undead into the Oathmark world, and he’s planned to carry on with that. In regard to the figure range, we began 3 years ago on this project and have a release schedule that stretches on years ahead. In essence, there will be a plastic box set supported by metal characters for every troop type in the book. I don’t know if we’ll achieve it, but that is the plan. There are two box sets planned for the Undead, and the other sets on the work bench are Human Cavalry, Dwarf Light Infantry, Elf Cavalry, Orc Infantry and Goblin Light Infantry.”

**Carlovonsexron**

I wish they would make a human heavy infantry, mostly just to see what the design would be like.

(And assuming it would get a similar quality that frostgrave kits get. I've noticed that in general, the Oathmark kits aren't as uniformly good as the frostgrave and stargrave kits are, after they started to use digital sculpting for those kits.)
