I've got a bunch of cavalry on full round bases...each time I consider rebasing them for Oathmark, I end up having second thoughts about it.

I think it's also important to keep in mind if the bases have bevelled edges or not (regardless of the round vs square arguments)

If they're bevelled, you lose about 3mm for "space" to mount the figures on; this makes it a bit of a squeeze when you putting figures which are nominally 28mm scale on a 20mm x 20mm (essentially 17mm x 17mm) bases. If you use square-edge bases, this is less of an issue as the top face and bottom face are the same, and you so get the full 20mm x 20mm to mount the figure on.

Bevelled bases are generally easier to fit into a tray than square-edged ones (unless the bases are very thin), but you then see the base edges more.

In the end, it really does depend on personal preference, and I would say that as long as the models fit nicely and look reasonable on their bases, then that should be the main consideration (IMO). If you do use the models for another game, having the the same base size/shape also helps.

I went with the classic GW square bases with bevelled edges style, although my base edges and trays are all matte black. The trays are just the regular ones from Renedra, and I put magnets in both the tray and bases to keep them from moving during play. I attached a photo of them, although I don't know if anybody will be able to see them...

I'm also in the same boat on struggling on the basing. I think I too prefer rounds so I can use the models in Warlords of Erehwon, Dragon Rampant, Rangers of Shadow Deep, and maybe even Frostgrave. It seems a shut case to just go rounds, but then there's the cav being in rectangles. Unless...maybe I never use cav...

But what about Oathmark, Vanguard, Kings of War. They absolutely need squares whereas the rules you mention could have rounds. Oh the mental anguish...

If I really wanted cav on rounds I would probably do movement trays and some wound counters. 6 cav on 40 mm rounds would fit nicely on a 125x100 mm tray and could represent 10 cavalry in the game.

A sneak peek at human cav.

I’m assuming those are for the light cavalry/mounted rangers set. They look pretty good to me anyway.

They look good! Where did you find the Picture?

North Star posted a bunch of previews and new releases on their Facebook yesterday. This was the Oathmark preview.

There are some nice new hooded heads there, and I think the horses look pretty good. Good movement.

Thanks!

I don't do FB, so see new Northstar releases either thru friends or the official twitter account, where I see some new Rangers of ShadowDeep models as well.

Beautiful paintjob, by the way!

Nice cavalry. Now I need to learn to paint horses...

For the social media refusers, they also just announced that there will be a free download release of a Halfling army list for Oathmark soon.

Thanks for sharing! Interesting news though. Does Northstar plan on doing halflings or is this to celebrate the Wargames Atlantic unit?
