Painted Oathmark Skeletons
« on: October 14, 2020, 12:27:44 PM »
The new Oathmark plastic Skeletons are out this November.
They have been designed by Michael Anderson, and when he got the first test frames he immediately got them painted and photographed.

Here they are, they look totally ace.

I'd also like to know the formula for the metal, heck even for the bone. I feel my skeletons end up too white, too bright.

I have been off plastics for a while, but I actually like these.

Nice painting.

They look like they will cover my skeleton needs for Frostgrave and Oathmark.

Not so keen on the shield design (hint: some variant plastic shields for the whole range would be useful).

Will there be a Nickstarter?

Definitely would buy some alternative shield designs as well! Maybe some big sprue of alternative shields usable with all factions?

They're dead. Why can't they work with any faction?

Frame of variant plastic shields.  :o

Oh aye, 8 to 10 thousand pounds on a steel tool of plastic shields so people can go 'oo one of those please, and erm, one of those too'.  lol

no no no. The cost aside, there is a long waiting list with the plastic factories, I need to get new figures in the queue long before a frame of shields.

Fireforge have got around this with a line of resin shields.

Shields aside, that photo of the skeleton archers has become the most popular picture on our Instagram page, in less than a day. https://www.instagram.com/northstarfigs/

I've never done a Nickstarter for Oathmark. Not a lot of people know that. I've always done pre-order deals though, thought I'd start this one for the skeletons on Halloween. How cheesy  8)

I was thinking of alternate shields for all the species.

Human skeletons would of course use human shields.

Ahwsum, sir! I really like that at last someone had the idea that skeleton warriors must be from an older culture and made thwm Bronze Age.

Great. Really great.
