Over the summer I have been working on a new project based on the Oathmark Elves from Northstar. These are absolutely wonderful, and work for almost any system.
First up is a small command unit of cavalry and an elven king on horse. These were converted by mixing Oathmark with Fireforge Games Byzantine cavalry.
Next we have four of those riders on pagasi. These will be my drakon riders, and the pegasi are a mix of GW, Fireforge, and Perry.
A trio of wizards. The archmage in the middle had an unfortunate encounter with a witch a few years ago.
And finally my bolt throwers. These are converted from Warlord Games Roman scorpions.
I have a lot more planned, but as I can’t be bothered to start on the last half of the spears and archers I want yet, I am currently waiting for Oathmark to release their elven heavy infantry and cavalry.
Very nice.
The oathmark ranges are great - and kitbash really nicely with the fireforge stuff - my cavalry was done with the templar range (as will the palace/forest guard infantry idc)
Thanks.
They really are good models. The templar range is pretty much perfect as well, but I liked the byzantine look for the command cavalry. If Northstar don’t release cavalry soon, I may end up using Teutonic knights for the normal elven knights (with perry horse heads on the horses).
I like the two toned shields and the scorpions work really well with those elves!
Great job Francis. A ‘down to earth’, ‘no fancy hankerchiefs’ elven army. How refreshing. Love the mage trio - especially the shorter one!
Loving it all. Great work.
Long time since the last post. I am still waiting for more Oathmark releases, but in the meantime I recently made some fillers so I can run the spears and archers as seaguard, and painted a forest shambler horde.
And a Drakon rider horde plus a lone drakon lord (no riders, I am not sure if they would fit).
The pegasi above are now KoM beast cavalry with fly btw. Which is why I needed the eagles.
Hi!
I’m (re)starting the hobby after getting a small amount of WH elves 20 years ago. I really like your conversions and want to do something similar for my new units. I especially love your pegasi knights/drakon riders. Would you mind sharing in more detail which bits from which maker and box you used?
