Title: New plastic Elves in the Oathmark range.
Post by: nicknorthstar on April 01, 2020, 11:22:22 PM: We're working on a new set of plastic Elves for our Oathmark range, the Elf Light Infantry.

They have been designed by Michael Anderson, very suitable for Elf Rangers, Wood Elves and the like.

The big plan was to release them at Salute this month on the 18th, but that of course is not happening. We're working to get them out this month still, but I don't have a date yet. I'll keep you upto date here.

Post by: nicknorthstar on April 03, 2020, 07:10:24 PM: Sad update.

The box for these hasn't been made yet, and the printers informed me today they've closed due to covid-19 :'(

I don't know when we'll be releasing these now.

Post by: Elbows on April 03, 2020, 08:08:48 PM: Honestly, if you're shipping direct (I understand not being able to sell to retailers), I don't think anyone would mind ordering them sans-box. I don't know if that's an option for you, but I assume you use Renedra who's at least local.

I assume boxes exist for shelf-appeal and protecting contents while being shipped around to retailers, etc. I'd have zero issue receiving sprues in a bag wrapped in bubble-wrap, etc.

Those dwarves look fantastic! I love how you're blending different manufacturer's sets together. I'd be very interested in following this project if you made a thread for it.

I think that's right. Just sell in a bag without the boxes. I'm sure people will buy 'em. :)

Post by: Gallahad on April 11, 2020, 11:26:21 PM: They look really nice. I wish they were scaled larger, rather than to match GWs 25mm lotr range. But the die has been cast on that account, so I'll just say again that they look very nice for what they are.

I don't think they are that size. They are more a proper 28mm than the 35mm that GW now does.

Post by: Elbows on April 12, 2020, 02:24:20 AM: That's what he's saying though, just...worded oddly I think.

He wishes they were larger - more akin to GW Warhammer scale, instead of the 25-28mm "proper" scale which they are (i.e. the scale that GW does LOTR stuff, which is much smaller than their AoS/Warhammer lines, etc.)

Post by: Loop on April 12, 2020, 02:48:01 AM: I was also a little disappointed with their stature but only because I was hoping to use tge bare heads with Victrix celt bodies but they would have ended up as pinheads. I just assumed they were scaled more like D&D elves who are shorter than the average human, rather than like GW elves who are taller?

Post by: Nordic1980s on April 12, 2020, 10:59:27 AM: Good looking elves! No need to have fancy packets considering the time we live in, simple cardboard/plastic boxes or plastic bags are okay, just as back in the old days. Would Oathmark human spear arms fit into these, so as to get some wood elf spearmen? Also: Gunner's dwarves look awesome!
