North Star Look Ahead To Frostgrave Female Figures & Oathmark Plastics
July 23, 2018 by brennon
North Star has plenty of irons in the fire when it comes to the miniatures they are producing and some of their upcoming pieces including a range of new Female models for use in Osprey Games' Frostgrave (and beyond).
As well as a range of new spellcasters this collection also brings to life a selection of Female versions of the hired swords and characters that you can include within your warband.
Here you get plenty of neat alternatives for Knights, Thieves, Barbarians and more. Beyond just being useful for Frostgrave the collection would also be pretty perfect for someone who was looking for Human/Half-Elf miniatures for their role-playing games as well.
I have a friend who is going to be playing a Half-Elf Sorcerer in a couple of Dungeons & Dragons games soon and I think that one of those two miniatures in the middle (see above) would be perfect for her to use.
These will be available through North Star's Nickstarter program which is effectively a pre-order/Kickstarter system for you to snag these new miniatures and some extra goodies too.
Oathmark Plastics
We also got a look at the final sprue design for the Human Infantry in Oathmark.
As you can see the sprue is packed with all sorts of options for someone looking to create themselves a regiment of troops or indeed a warband to use in skirmish games. These kits can also be combined with the Soldiers set and more from Frostgrave if you want even more options available to you.
Are you getting stuck into Frostgrave?

Great looking spellcasters with the sprues having a massive variety for rank n file troop’s
There’s also some images of the new Frost Grave Female Soldiers sprues floating around the interweb (I’d imagine the metal female wizards and the plastic female warriors will be released at the same time. There also supposed to be some plastic “savages” for the jungle Frostgrave game (name escapes me), but not seen any images of those yet. Planning on using the OAthmark Humans for the Frostgrave specialists (eg Marksman, Treasure Hunter) who ingame wear medium armour (cheaper than buying the metal versions).
Those look really good.
I really love the look of these, especially the barbarian and the two wizards in the middle. Anybody know when the Nickstarter launches?
I have fallen in love with the Northstar plastics. The bring back such great memories of earlier WHFB days, and the customization options are so great. I like Gws figs, but they are really hard to modify now. These ones though are so mix and match its fantastic. If I had one gripe, its that the legs and torso are one piece. Even thats a small gripe.
