Finally finished the central unit of my Oathmark army.
These guys took an age to finish but were totally worth it.

Love looking at these little figures!!! Nicely done.

[@Thecrankybarber132]

Class .....thank you 👏

[@BrushQuill]

I think the effort was worth it, the look amazing.

[@Khorpedon]

Yellow on black is tricky. You made it look easy. Respect.

[@Tim1000064]

They're looking excellent, fantastic paintjob and the bases are incredible too!

[@ScruffyCrow]

The bases were so simple, fun and easy. I think I'll do another video going over it again.

[@Tim1000064]

@@ScruffyCrow That's a really good idea!

[@Slacksalotprime]

Hope to see more Oathmark vids!

[@rossdiggle]

Whoop whoop

[@rossdiggle]

I didn't like these sculpt but your motley has made me realise it's the studio paint job

[@ScruffyCrow]

They are great little sculpts, they remind me of a cross between old gw empire kits and Bolt action plastics. I can't really fault them at all.

[@rossdiggle]

I was thinking old bretonnian men at arms once you'd painted them

[@robins5314]

Good stuff, these models look like Saxons.

[@jasonsavage2865]

Outstanding work!

[@grahamgrief9783]

Fantastic job as always.

[@worldhistoryminiatureshous9757]

Awesome bunch of guards . Nice painting has been done . Congratulations from a new subscriber .

[@mightyeroc7284]

Great job!

[@gyriongyrion4623]

Hey man how did you cover the integrated bases below their feet into the new base?

[@bicskeiz]

Im also not a big fan of Oathmark humans, but Your paintjob is great!

[@ScruffyCrow]

What is it that puts you off, it it the more heroic proportions compared to say Perry? I really like them as a kit so I'm interested as to what puts people off.

[@bicskeiz]

@@ScruffyCrow Hard to say... Bit the proportions, bit the too many mustaches, bit the equipment, and all that gives them a comic like, "Asterix and Obelix" look. I love all the other kits from the Oathmark series (goblins are especially awesome), have almost all of them, but the humans are not my cup of tea...

[@Khorpedon]

@@ScruffyCrow The lack of scabbards is annoying.

[@Khorpedon]

@@bicskeiz I'm not sure about the goblins. Their heads are too small.

[@Castillo525]

Great paintjob! A little question, what miniatures fit best with the oathmark humans? Been looking for a company that does the closest scale to them lol

[@ScruffyCrow]

I'm afraid I can't help there at all, these are the only human models I really own. I have heard gripping beast miniatures fit well though. What type of thing are you looking for?

[@Castillo525]

@@ScruffyCrow something the same size, thats all, heard the same about gripping beast. Btw, do you plan on getting the oathmark human cavalry when it comes out?

[@ScruffyCrow]

For sure, I'm planning on doing 5 as rangers and 5 with shields so they can be heavies until they do a heavy kit.

[@Khorpedon]

@@ScruffyCrow I'm thinking of using these Rangers: castingroomminiatures.com/collections/rangers

[@ScruffyCrow]

Not a bad call, they look pretty nice. This has reminded me that the Rangers of shadow deep minis are a perfect fit although the clothing is a bit more modern. I might have to pick up some of them though.

[@jamiewarne9066]

I tried the foundry flesh, but it just looked too orange. I've reverted back to GW. Have you done trial of who makes best flesh for elves / dwarfs / humans?

[@ScruffyCrow]

I'm working on a flesh video at the moment but I still haven't found something I'm happy with

[@jamiewarne9066]

@@ScruffyCrow foundarys buff leather is better than their named flesh. coat d arms is nice. But I have not bought or tried any of the many boxed sets now available on ebay: mig or Vallejo or andrea or AK. I have spent many years hoarding a large barbarian horde, and I am telling myself that i haven't started them yet as I have not found the perfect paint. I would appreciate your experienced opinion on which is best for value / realism / ease of use / blending etc.

[@ScruffyCrow]

It's definitely something I'm looking into because I need to replace all my P3 paints. I'm gonna try Coat du Arms next I think. Squidmar just did a long vid looking at various paints I might watch before I invest though. I really do not like the consistency of foundry paints and I fully regret picking up the starter box.
