24. Oathmark human army II.

Now let’s continue with the characters. I had no special source they are all made of the same sets, as the units (with one exception):

• Mounted king: with sword on a barded horse
• Mounted wizard: I used here a head and the hands form the Frostgrave wizard set, on a horse and body from a Perry knight. Tried to grind the armor plates from the legs, but the body is not so obviously armored, so I let it be. At the end, he got a giant (and ugly sculpted) cloak, made from epoxy putty (like the mounted elven wizard).
• Mounted champion: heavy armor, giant axe, and a separated body part form an enemy
  
  
  
• King: with sword and scepter
• Prince: with sword but without helmet (because everybody has to see his beautiful golden locks)
• Standard bearer of the king: with a trumpet (there is no need for him according to the rules, but it looks nice, and so will be easier to find the king on the battlefield)
  
  
  
• General (the only metal, non-Perry mini there, it’s from Avatars of War): very nice sculpt with heavy armor and greatsword in a (more or less) fitting size
• Champion: the fencer with light armor, sword and dagger
• Champion: the sharpshooter with crossbow and pavaise
• Champion: the brawler with heavy armor, giant axe and a mace
  
  
  
• And because my Frostgrave wizards, I hove a lot of options for the spellcasters

After this long list, let’s get shorter, here comes the monster section! When I say monster, I mean Reaper miniatures, by far the cheapest option for good enough monsters. There are 5 different ogres, 4 from Reaper Bones (3 with bludgeons, and one with a bit of improvised armor and an impressively ugly shield) and 1 from Bones Black (darker, harder material with better details):

An ugly giant, again from Reaper. It is a bit of exception from the “cheap but nice monster = Reaper” rule, because the quality is not that good. The sculpt is nice, but the mold is very unsharp, there is no fun in painting… For such big skin surfaces, a better painting skill then mine would be needed, so I tried to hide all that with dirt, vains and blod. It got an additional weapon too: a giant piece of rock on chain. The result is okay at best, I am not satisfied at all (although its ready, what should be a good feeling). But when I take a look at price tag of similar sized miniatures, it doesn’t hurt that much (and yes, I have to varnish it matte):

As a warmachine, again a homemade catapult. I will write a post about building medieval catapults later, now just a look at the as-is state (the base is obviously too big for Oathmark, but as warmachines rarely come in hand-to-hand combat, is not that important):

So lets take a look on the overall human army list (filled up with some Frostgrave barbarians):

• 15 Spearman:195 points
• 15 Soldiers: 180 points
• 25 Archers: 300 points
• 20 Linebreakers: 340 points
• 15 Warriors: 210 points
• 5 Engineers: 60 points
• 5 Cavalry: 225 points
• 10 Heavy Cavalry: 500 points
• 5 Rangers from Frostgrave Barbarians: 70 points
• 10 Militia from Frostgrave Barbarians: 90 points
• 5 Ogre Linebreakers: 225 points
• 1 Giant: 350 points
• 1 Heavy catapult: 120 points

Overall 2865 points

These were all our family Oathmark armies! I will continue with something new.
