Title: New Undead for Oathmark
Post by: nicknorthstar on May 29, 2021, 02:17:40 PM
June will see the release of a new plastic set of figures for Oathmark: Battles of the Lost Age.

They are the Revenants, an Undead troop type that feature in the supplement Oathbreakers.

Attached are the first pictures.

These are really lovely sculpts!  The new shield designs are particularly fine.  Given that the bodies aren’t decayed, I’m seriously wondering whether adding some plastic Celt heads would give a good fantasy Bronze Age warrior conversion.   Top stuff all round.

Definitely a lovely Bronze Age aesthetic that would kitbash wonderfully.

Definitely liking these, lots of kitbashing potential.

Love these, and as James says, I think they would easily make living warriors with some Celt heads.

It's interesting how Mummy-esque these have turned out to be. I'd initially expected much more skeletal type revenants but they definitely take some inspiration from older films.

I'm really excited to pick up a box!

Is it just the shots but do the arms and legs look less than dead?

I strongly suspect the Oathmark designers make each kit as ubiquitous (nice word eh?) and compatible as possible with the other plastic sets, for kitbashing purposes. They're definitely a dried-out looking wight-type revenant as opposed to a bony skeleton or rotting zombie, so you can paint them how you like for different purposes.

Appreciate that but to me they just look like a OM goblin with a skelly head

Yes. Just Yes.

Seriously loving the Nordic Bronze Age/ Halstatt vibe to the Undead.

Expect those will be very popular with the X-Grave and roleplaying crowds as well.  Look right at home in Felstad or the ghost Archipelago or the Shadow Deep.

Are these as diddy as the rest of the oathmark stuff?

 Very nice Nick. Will definitely pick these up, as some of the less skeletal heads will be very useful for further orc kitbashing. Like the shields as well.

The Bronze Age look mentioned would make them very useful for Deadmen of Dunharrow* too.



*In the way that I imagine them, anyway.

+1, and also generally great for undead henchmen.

Is there going to be a pre-order campaign (there is a mention on your Twitter feed)?

There will be.
