Title: Fantasy Projects (Oathmark Human Infantry)
Post by: killshot on July 06, 2021, 12:12:33 AM
I’m going to get through the backlog of various fantasy projects I have started and shelved.  So this thread will consist of multiple projects from multiple manufacturers. 

First up are Reaper Miniatures Heraldic Knights.  I plan to use them in some adventure gaming, possibly Rangers of Shadow Deep or I have some ideas kicking around for homegrown rules.

Great job killshot. Love the colour choices 8) 8)

Would you happen to know how they scale against the old Citadel 80s ranges - 'Heroic Fighters of the Known world', 'Lords of Battle', C01 Fighters & Paladins?


Thank you!  Unfortunately I do not, however these are pretty massive figures. More along the lines of heroic 28mm (closer to 32mm).  Hopefully that helps.

Nice work. I have some of those old Citadel figures mentioned and I think they would be dwarfed by these.

Thank you everyone!  They were really fun to paint, I only wish they had some mounted options as well.

Nice work. I have some of those old Citadel figures mentioned and I think they would be dwarfed by these.

That’s what I figured as well.

Completed these Poor Fellows today for a commission.  They’re painted to match some Greyjoy figures and will be used as Iron Isle Smallfolk.

Greyjoy characters, I stuck as close to the character cards as possible with the exception of the one with the two axes.  He was requested to match the other troops.

Also for Dead-Cember are all the undead characters and models from Heroquest.

I’ve worked on some Frostgrave Barbarians with some simple kitbashes with some Oathmark Human Light Cavalry heads and weapons a long with some Mantic Miniatures Northern Alliance Troop bits.

Also I’ve started some Barbarian cavalry, Oathmark Light Cavalry with Barbarian heads and weapons.

Finished up the remaining barbarians for my Dragon Rampant army.  Mostly made of Northstar Barbarians with some knights bits added in.

I’ve been wanting to paint up some Fireforge Northmen for a while and finally picked up a box.  The hero is a Frostgrave knight body, fireforge head and an animal pelt from the GW Empire knights sprue.

And finally, some Greyjoy figures!

good work.  I like the barbarians for DR

Thank you!

Finally got my first game of Dragon Rampant played, barbarians with a giant vs wolf riders backed up by trolls.  It was a blast, the goblins overwhelmed the barbarian right flank but the giant rampaged through the trolls and shaman on the left flank.  It ended with a goblin victory after the loss of the barbarian general.

(https://i.imgur.com/DPXScls.jpg)

I really enjoyed this game and it has rekindled my desire to actually push miniatures around and roll dice. I think it’s the fact that I put together two armies relatively quickly.  The goblin wolf riders was a single box, 3 musicians, a shaman and the champion is all it took to get a fighting force together.  I already had the trolls but we could’ve had a great game without them.

Great painting, and unit building. I really like your painting style, somehow both bright and muted at the same time.

The GW knights at the top though do seem to be showing their age as a kit compared to the newer figures further down the page (or perhaps it is just the chunky GW style).
