After thoroughly checking that all parts of the video worked correctly this time, I figured it's time to check out some more Oathmark models.
I had some goblins before, but wasn't really impressed. They were more LOTR style goblins, whereas I wanted Kev Adams style gobbos.
But dwarfs? Heck, I'll take dwarfs of just about any shape and size. Which is weird as I'm not a big fan of dwarfs! But I'll buy 'em, paint 'em, and enjoy 'em... so maybe I do like dwarf models?
These dwarfs are very Tolkein- esque in their looks. Rather than say they're generic, I'd say they have a very universal style to them. You could see them across a variety of fantasy style games.
I love how the Oathmark boxes give you a nice core of an army in one box. You have three main options- ranged, spears, or close quarters weapons. There's a good variety of heads available (and even more if you have the heavy dwarf infantry box) and with a little bit of conversion work, you could totally make these work with Frostgrave parts.
That's probably my favorite aspect- the ease of conversion. The whole Frostgrave range can be used to compliment them or swap out parts, and with a bit of creativity you could probably use a fair amount of GW and Mantic bits.
Speaking of Mantic dwarf, these guys are perfect for Kings of War! Plus they're pretty close in size and stature to the Mantic models- except they're much nicer looking! Mantic's basic dwarf infantry is getting a bit long in the tooth, and seeing how nice they're Abbysal Dwarf sprue came out...
