Kitbashing Oathmark humans to make Irish Kerns, Bretonnian Battle Pilgrims and Rangers of Gondor.

A deep dive into the Oathmark Human plastic sprues, a look at building historical medieval units, proxy Warhammer The Old World Bretonnians and Rangers of the North from Middle Earth. Included in the video are some kitbashing and conversion ideas and lots of scale comparisons with FireForge Deus Vult models, GW Lord of the Rings minis and Old World Brettonians.

What makes your videos so good is that you show what can be built from the many different hard plastic sets now out there. Superb

[@PaulStanleyauthor]

@@dm51964 thank you. It’s the kitbashing part of the hobby that I enjoy the most.

[@fredeamorph]

Myself coming straight from the singlepose metal ones - this is the interesting aspect here for me.

[@stephenmudiecastles.2938]

I remember back in 1987-88 when Warhammer was just starting there were very few figures from GW to make your armies. I was in the RAF serving in Cyprus, we had a war gamming club out there. When I once came back on leave a mate who was starting a Bretonnian army got me to buy a load knights and foot soldiers from Essex Miniatures to serve as his army.

[@PaulStanleyauthor]

@@stephenmudiecastles.2938 I remember those times well… in addition to Essex Miniatures we used to buy little fantasy moulds from Prince August and get into trouble for melting lead in our parents’ kitchens 😂

[@mikesminiatures921]

Love this box and the other Oathmark boxes they have been fun to kit bash and build good video!

[@PaulStanleyauthor]

@@mikesminiatures921 thank you and yes they are fun. I’m quite keen to check out their goblins now I’ve seen the humans.

[@mikesminiatures921]

Fantastic review and head swaps! Don’t forget that Wargames Atlantic just came out with their own Foot Knights box

[@PaulStanleyauthor]

@@dartmart9263 thank you. Before starting my channel I built a box of the Wargames Atlantic foot knights. They are lovely models and I’m hoping to do a video on those and the crusader army I used them in before I start painting them.

[@dartmart9263]

@@PaulStanleyauthor That would be fantastic! I look forward to it

[@doctormartin5464]

Love oathmark such a fantastic game..

[@paulwalker5221]

Another great inspiration and ideas thank you. Take a look at the Gripping Beast Dark Age Irish and even the Picts as both offer kitbashing opportunities for for pilgrim type miniatures. I picked up a sprue of each on Ebay recently. The Victrix Anglo Danes even have a wonderful monk option holding a cross!

[@PaulStanleyauthor]

@@paulwalker5221 thank you. I’ll definitely take a look at some of those.

[@dariostabletopminatures]

They Look good!

It's very nice being able to see all the various minis compared to the men ar arms kit, been thinking of using the oathmark infantry to make yeoman guard for my bretonnians, it's a matter of sourcing halberds, I know fireforge has a blister with 24

[@PaulStanleyauthor]

@@TheSupporter76 that’s a cool idea. I’ve been thinking about extra halberds myself and I’ve kept hold of the spare ones I have from my Bretonnian men at arms. I’ve worked out that I get 7 halberds left over from every unit of 18 men at arms I build so I should have about 28 to play with once all my GW Bretonnians are built. I know North Star do packs of spears but I’m not sure about halberds.

[@alfie5860]

I'm looking forward to seeing how the grail reliquae turns out

[@PaulStanleyauthor]

@@alfie5860 thank you. I’ve got some searching to do for the right kind of model so fingers crossed.

[@spawniscariot9756]

Nice stuff 👍

@@spawniscariot9756 thank you. 😊

[@jamesmaclennan4525]

With a bit of work they make good Warriors of Arnor as well.

[@PaulStanleyauthor]

@@jamesmaclennan4525 that’s a great idea and I’m definitely going to look at that in the near future. Thank you.

[@colinspeirs]

Not Faramir, but an old Mithril Nazgûl with missing arm got an Oathmark Dwarf arm with sword transplant. I did "age up" the sword a bit And I got Oathmark Human Light Infantry EXACTLY to make some Rangers out of

[@PaulStanleyauthor]

@@colinspeirs nice 😎

[@TheInsaneCommander]

Oathmark have a box of elven rangers who could double human rangers as well.

[@PaulStanleyauthor]

@@TheInsaneCommander thank you. I will probably pick a box up very soon.

[@peterixon8708]

Paul, had no idea there was a light infantry box. Your video gave me some great ideas, especially now GW's pricing has gone insane. Great ideas in your video.

[@PaulStanleyauthor]

@@peterixon8708 thank you. I’m glad the video was helpful. There are some awesome alternatives out there and I have a lot of fun exploring them.

[@peterixon8708]

Paul, you actually set me to sorting through piles of boxes in my war game room today (it's a public holiday here in Australia). Turns out I own 394 unassembled 800-1000 CE era figures, amongst thousands of others. I've been re-watching the series 'Vikings' again and now I have both Vikings as well as their 'English' opponents a-plenty to do things with. Thanks again for your video efforts.

[@PaulStanleyauthor]

@@peterixon8708 that sounds like a great way to spend a holiday. 😄

[@DwarvenMoustache-ek3ok]

I think Oathmark do some great models. I have a selection of their dwarves.

[@PaulStanleyauthor]

@@DwarvenMoustache-ek3ok they do and now I’ve dipped my toe in the water I know I’ll be checking out more of their plastics.
