- Oathmark: Battles of the Lost Age is a game where armies of miniatures meet on the battlefield organized into rank and file, with heroes, wizards and monsters aiding or arrayed against them! READ MORE:

In Oathmark, you're free to create the Kingdom that you draw your army from, meaning you can include Elves, Dwarfs, Goblins and humans alike in the same army - there's no question on whether or not you're 'allowed' to collect something. If you like the miniatures, you add them to your force and paint them up how you'd like! Creating units between 10 and 30 figures strong means you're likely going to want a nice, quick method of putting together a force with a unified colour palette to them, so I took a shot at a simple way of getting that done and ready for the table.
These human infantry are really neat, and can be built either with hand weapons, spears or bows. There's a kind of grimy, semi-professional 'low fantasy' look that I really like about them, and others have mentioned that they'd work well for just about any fantasy or even medieval-themed game you'd need some town militia, guards or similar miniatures for. I'm going to keep the spare weapons to add to some Frostgrave figures for a slightly more regimented appearance for my warband. I've also got my eye on some of those Elves!

I basically did exactly this with some oathmark dwarf infantry. Great video. 🤘🤘
Der gute Hendlmaiersenf ist die Krönung der tollen Bemalanleitung. 😋
That studded leather armor is called brigantine armor. Historically the metal studs hold the iron plate underneath the leather in place.
Was looking up Oathmark ideas and was pleased to see this pop up again!
I think a dark, muted green pants would contrast nicely with the red hood and shield and keep everything from being so brown.
Army painter strong tone and soft tone are talent in a bottle. Great tutorial.
1:40 I believe that's a coat of plates. Basically those studs are from metal plates that have been riveted inside of the coat, making it very protective. edit: The other guy is also wearing one, just with more plates.
i think its supposed to resemble riveted leather brigadine armour, i actualy really like the design of thes minis the simplicity is gorgeous and captures regular soldiers of the time.
@@tiernonhall3132 riveted leather armor isn’t real though. It’s just a way that movie and fantasy armor designers misinterpreted brigantine/coat of plates.
@@plaidpvcpipe3792 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigandine there is the link to the wiki its real
@@tiernonhall3132 dude, that literally proves my point, riveted leather is not real. That is about brigandine (the successor to coat of plates, pretty much the same thing,) the armor that was interpreted as riveted leather by people who are bad at researc
@@plaidpvcpipe3792 yeah but the general idea is that these guys are peasant farmers, when there not fighting these guys are farming and arent supposed to be proffesional soldiers, they wouldnt have the money for plated metal armour to which that is the next best thing its like arguing oranges and tangerines mate, these guys arent running round with high tech armour there peasants with barely enough to live. the asthetic is great and is all that maters, in my opinion the idea of the armour is a low tech basic piece of armour you have because of nothing else, where as a coat of plates is thicker longer pieces of flat iron plating running down somthing like a surcoat, only profesionals, lords, mercs such as landsknecht whould have somthing like that.
nice and clean video, really enjoyed this one.
You're bavarian? The Händlmaier gives it away...
I'm actually a New Zealander; I just know where the best süßer senf comes from. ;)
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio yes it is the best. but aren't you laking a supply of Weißwürst down there in NZ?
These are very nice figures and they paint up quite nicely. The color scheme looks really nice and this was just a great tutorial. Thanks for sharing your work .
Fabulous video... I really enjoy your style and approach. Your Tau video has inspired me to try my own. Also, think I may have to pick up some of these minis too! Keep up the great work and content!
Excellent video as always. On a serious note...Could you do a video on how to actually use a wet pallet? I am either getting my paints too thick or way to watery. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I love to see a video on how you use yours, exactly. Thanks again! Cheers! (Oh and a tour of your work desk! That would be cool too!)
Honestly, I couldn't really tell you what I've been doing any differently than most. I keep mine probably a little more wet than most I've seen, and I'm using the Redgrass paper with their palette as well - I wish I could be more helpful than that!
It also took me a few months until I felt like I’m using the wet pallet the “right way”. Here are some tips: 1. Keep it always wet! Once it’s dry (even a bit) so is your paint. Water evaporates faster then you think. I have a bottle of water on my table which I use to refill my wet pallet every half an hour or so. 2. Try using different paper. I don’t know why, but my paint always pooled a lot with the Redgrass one. I started using normal white baking paper and it works much better for me (got this advice from “Trapped unser Plastic”). 3. When you finish painting, don’t completely close the lid. Let some water evaporate, otherwise your paint will start pooling while you are away. 4. There is no general rule how much water you should mix with your paint. Every paint behaves different, so just keep adding slowly water (or a different medium) until you get the desired consistency.
Jan Biela Thank you! I’ll try that. 😀👍
Just Another Captain I hope you find the advice helpful :) one more thing: it definitely depends as well on the weather how often you need to refill your wet pallet. Generally, when I see that the sponge is showing through (not covered completely in water anymore) I refill.
Fantastic tutorial. Definitely checking out Oathmark
You really should! The rules are fantastic, managing to pack a lot of classic rank and flank combat into a handful of paragraphs that make sense.
Love your channel, Sonic! you've really helped with ideas for painting. If you could, I'd love to see you try a Space Marine Scout of the Raptors Chapter?
Thank you , Sonic .
Thank you very much Sonic! This is just another of your great videos showing the fact, that even unskilled person like me can have table top ready minis. This can be simply apllied to historical wargaming paint scheme. More videos like this will be highly appreciated. Btw in case of Agrax Earthshsde use, would you thin it down same as the Strong tone in this particular case?
When it comes to Agrax Earthshade, it's a little thinner out of the pot compared to Strong Tone. You can use it straight without worrying about thinning, although experimenting with a little Lahmian Medium can get some softer shading effects as well, if you like the look!
New to your channel, great stuff!
Welcome aboard!
Nice! These minis look like a good fun paint. Not sure if you've seen them but I bought some Aventine Miniatures 28mm Romans range. Look cracking and really looking forward to give them a go. Got a massive range from early to late Roman and all the protagonists of the time like Carthage and Gaul etc. Think you painted some Warlord Romans earlier but the range and variety on these guys looks excellent.
I will check them out! I haven't dipped my toes much further into the ancient era yet, though I'm still not sure whether I'd go with 28mm stuff for massed combat games or try something smaller, since I know Pendraken do a large range of ancients in 10mm scale, for example.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio I guess it's a question of gaming vs hobby somewhat. Nothing like a good 28mm or even larger model for a fun a paint job and display piece but ranks of tiny soldiers are fun to play a game with even if they aren't so interesting to paint.
these look great! any chance you will do any how I paint things for Conquest by para bellum? amazing minis, the starting 2 player set is a great value
what grass have you used in the bases?
Nice workmanlike painting, as usual. How do these figures compare with the Gripping Beast Dark Age figures, and the Frostgrave sets? Would the parts work together well?
I couldn't tell you quite how big they are against the Gripping Beast stuff, but the parts fit perfectly with the Frostgrave bits - I'm planning on using some of the spares from the Oathmark kits for a slightly more regimented, professional look to some Frostgrave soldiers.
A bunch of them for only 25 Quid? Bitchin
Looks very nice. Would you say the Instar Varnish is better than the Army Painter antishine?
I'd probably use the Instar stuff from now on, myself. There's nothing specifically wrong with Army Painter's varnish, but the Instar stuff is ready to use straight from the pot and I haven't had any issues applying it quite heavily in some areas. It dries much more matt than Army Painter's, too.
What scale are these? I missed it if you said- I’m always looking for figures to use along my guardsmen as crusaders, priests, astropaths, conscripts, etc.
These guys are a full 28mm 'heroic' style. They fit really quite well alongside GW stuff if you put them up on the raised Citadel bases rather than these little flat Renedra ones!
Is that a new Regiment brush? The one in your previous videos was looking very well used 😂
They do occasionally need replacing! ;D Mine see a lot of use and abuse - they all end up glue brushes in the end!
Hey I’m planing on making an angle color scheme for some canon father units any tips
how many minis come in a box? I saw them on amazon and didn't see a miniature count. I would use them for dnd and stuff.
There's 30 to a box!
i have a question for the skin colors of army painter. the lighter tone of tanned flesh is barbarian flesh, the lighter tone for barbarian flesh which one is?
Kobold Flesh is the next one up in lightness.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio thank you :)
Why don’t you use any type of holder while you paint?
Ordinarily I do, but it's something else in front of the camera that takes up space while I'm trying to paint.
Yey, Oathmark!
Hahaha, Oathmark. well I never.
Can't imagine how that happened, right? ;D
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Nope no idea :P
