The helmets have the option to add a small fur tail on top. Helmeted ones and bare ones, as well as one with large horned helmet, obviously for the champion / pack leader.
There is a larger sword and a banner pole for the command section, but no musician (like a horn blower) in this set.įor the five bodies you have ten different heads to choose from. You can give them hand weapons or spears with shields, or bow and quiver. The weapon options are the same as with the infantry kit. You could pin them and keep them removeable. I used a small ball of blutac to keep them in place. You will need to glue the bodies to the mounts later on, for a more reliable hold. Their bodies consists out of wide spread legs and "regular" bodies, that should be compatible with the infantry kit, maybe a bit more hunched. They fit pretty well on the rectangular cavalry bases. I am not quite happy with the split in the middle, but due to the limitations of plastic casting (and undercuts) you'd either have to make a more complex cut resulting in possible gaps or modify the design (for example smaller ears, closer to the head, similar to the old Warhammer wolves). Unfortunately they can not be mix, so you have to assemble them as they are numbered. There are three different designs of the wolves. The wolves are two part models and are numbered, so you know which halves go together. The layout is very much like the infantry, but with different legs and overall different designs.
The riders sprue covers 5 different bodies, enough arms to equip the models with either hand weapons and shields, spears or bows and quivers, 10 different heads, and a banner pole incl. Low to medium amount of mould lines, a bit stronger within the fur parts. Osprey/Northstar teamed up with Renedra for production, so you get a proper casting quality on the plastic miniatures. A box of 15 wolf riders will cost you 25 GBP and covers three sprues for the riders, five for the wolfs and two bases with 50 x 25 mm cavalry bases. The first one was the Goblin Infantry, we showed here in december. I haven't had the chance to look into the rules yet.Īs for the goblin army, this is the second Oathmark kit for them. The full name is Oathmark - Battles of the Lost Age and it is going for a 28mm mass combat range, with rank & file regiments and a few characters. It is a project by Osprey Games and Northstar Military Figures, with Renedra covering the casting.
These were released only a few weeks ago. After covering the infantry kits of Oathmark, today we have the opportunity to show the first cavalry set of the range - Goblin Wolf Riders.
