I really like the helmets. They fit in more with my reading of Tolkien than other styles do.

For me the weakest aspect is the shields. I'd prefer either round or kite shields with no bite marks...

Most of you are probably aware that there is a second Facebook page for Oathmark (the Players Group).  The two facebook pages have some interesting information about what is planned for the range. It seems that cloaks are hard to produce in plastic, so they are considering resin ones as an extra. 
There is also a debate about dwarf cavalry - should such a thing exist, should they be mounted on ponies, goats, or bears......

I would second that; There’s some really interesting stuff on the ‘Player’s Page’ it’s just unfortunate that it’s locked away on Facebook. I don’t have an Fb account but luckly I do have an understanding girlfriend who linked her account to the page for me.

Just a heads up for Nick at Northstar; We don’t all have Facebook so please don’t forgot about us on the wider web.

Well done.  Need those cloaks!

Really? GW have had cloaks in a number of plastic sets over the years and my Fireforge Teutonic knights have separate cloaks to that were perfectly serviceable seems odd.

Fireforge's Templar knights have cloaks too. Maybe you need to be a knight to get a cloak.  :D

I really have no idea what I'm doing.

Maybe it's the kind of cloak they want? Perhaps they're imaging them with long shoulder covering cloaks that wouldn't be feasible on a multi pose figure?
never trust a horse, they make a commitment to shoes that no animal should make.

I am unsure why cloaks are hard to do.  I did think about getting some from Hoardobits but the Fireforge cloaks seem to be unavailable and of course all the older GW stuff is no longer stocked.

Buy a box of FF figures. It's worth it for all the extra bits you get, even if you don't want to use the figures.

I prefer woodsy-type elves myself, but these are really quite nice for townie elves. I can see them growing on me.

I hope there will be almost exclusively helmed heads on the sprue. Lack of helms in the Oathmark dwarf set is huge issue for me.

I hope Northstar will be selling packs of spare metal heads, both with and without helmets. They have a "ranger" metal upgrade set for their Frostgrave soldiers, so its not out of the realm of possibility.

They’ve said that they intend to release a light infantry box for every race, so I’m not sure that metal add-ons are all that likely at the moment.

I feel like North star is doing for fantasy what victrix did for 28mm romans.

There are no releases I am more excited about than the up coming elves, humans and female adventures from North star.
