Following our look at the plastic Revenants set for Oathmark, we've got some associated characters to have a peep at. The first thing to point out is that these are 28mm resin sub-masters, not the final metal production figures, but we'd imagine those will be to the high-quality standard we've come

Editor Dan embarks on a brave new journey of discovery, involving cardboard and clips. Dan: If you’re a 50+ wargamer like myself, you can possibly remember your first model house building project.
