Thanks for the kind comment. Yeah frostgrave, Rangers of shadowdeep and roleplaying are my main games at the moment. So a bunch of generic lightly armoured peeps are perfect.
Just a modeling tip - people in combat don't open themselves up to being skewered; weapon off to one side and shield off to the other. Put the head on last and sight it down the weapon or the shield and you will get a much more dynamic and belivable pose.
Thanks for the comment. Yeah I dont really worry too much about the reality of miniatures, thats why I paint fantasy mostly. I would think most would wear some form of armour to if we are talking reality, such as gambeson vest at very least. Even in medieval era they protected their inferior troops with some kind of armour. Perhaps a leather skull cap to to make them feel alittle more protected. The sculptor however did go for that look and thats fine by me.
The Oathmark release schedule was so slow going I thought they were stopped. This is a really nice looking kit, perfect for a lot of different uses/games.
Thanks for the comment. Yeah I guess the company are busy with stargrave/frostgrave, so Oathmark has to fit into the schedule. Stargrave and frostgrave being the money makers for Northstar.
I have some of these myself, I really like them and they're great for a more organised militia or for Aragorn style rangers. For a more of an angry peasant mob Fireforge folk rabble kit is fantastic. They're a bit bigger then the Oathmark minis but I think they can work well enough alongside them too.
Thanks for the comment. Yeah don't get me wrong they are nice miniatures. My fault I went into it thinking they were more like a angry mob. Yeah I have had my eye on the fireforge rabble. Didn't know about the height difference but it doesn't worry me too much.
Thanks for the review. I like this kit as is and may purchase it for building rangers. For the rabble you mentioned, check out Fireforge Games Northmen Folk Rabble, I think that is what you are looking for, it's another nice kit.
Thanks for the comment. Yeah I think I came into the review having a preconceived idea of what this kit was. So completely my own bias. I do love the kit for what it is and wanted to make sure no else comes into the kit thinking the same as me. Yeah the rabble has been brought to my attention by another viewer and has peaked my curiosity. Although a few more kits to review before I can justify buying another one.
Perfect for frost grave thanks for the vid and I like the way you painted them up.

An excellent review mate,and they look superb
Thanks mate for the kind comment and your continued support of the channel.
Nice kit, I do kinda wish there were more heads with no facial hair to represent the youths that would be a large portion of this sort of troop
Thanks for the comment. Yeah all having capes was my small gripe but its a good kit.
That is a really nice set.
Yeah agreed they make some nice supporting characters. Thanks for the comment
Nice to mix parts with too.
Thanks for leaving a comment. Yeah well that might also be coming up in a follow up video!
Ooh one of them has a cinquedea sword!
