Me too! Chris Wolfe painted them and I painted the fanatic cultists lead by Taalkis V'Ahnn, Knight of Fathoms

Ok, the rules and tables have updated links so you can download them from our website instead of Facebook. Just click on them at the bottom of my Original Post. Enjoy!

In Tideport, centaur warriors form wandering bands known as Tidebreakers who patrol the coasts looking for incursions of K'Thoneans from the sea.

This sounds like a very interesting game. Since most of my gaming now is with my grandchildren aged 6 to 10 would this be suitable? The kids need lots of action and minimal or nil record keeping during the game.

I do not do Facebook, sorry.

You can download the rules and tables from the links at the bottom of my original post. As for that age group, probably not the best game to start them on. Action will be high, but its probably too crunchy for kids.

Hi,

After a quick look through it looks promising. Definitely going to try this out.

Now I know it’s still in test phase, but will there be magic? I only ask because I ordered a nice looking witch that is going to need some arcane ‘swoosh swash’ when she’s painted.

Greetings,

Zeebeest.

Oh yesssss! There be Magic, Alchemy, and Mystic Rites for 3 types of Priests!

Those will drop later on as we build out the play test. Stay tuned!

Here's some pics of what I've been up to for The Sword Marches project.

Break out your Old School Metal figures and come play with us!

Sword Marches Gazette – The Wychwood

The Wychwood is a primeval safe haven and channel point for Fae energies to enter the material world and infuse it with life, color, and passion.

At its heart stands Ancient Gnarlbones, the greatest Arborean giant of all time. He sacrificed his freedom in order to repair the original conduit, known as the Vessel, when it was destroyed by agents of the Graewell. Now until the end of time, Gnarlbones will stand in the Vessel’s place channeling all of the Fae power through himself and then into the material world.

Gnarlbones imbues his disciples with strong Fae energy that permeates their souls and flesh and makes them preternatural in their grace and power. First among these are the Warriors of the Warwood, a monastic order that is dedicated to serving Ancient Gnarlbones as his strikers and eyes in the world.

The Way of the Warwood has three branches of monks: Woodwyrds, Woodwraiths, and Woodfangs. Woodwyrds channel fae energy to create spell-like effects. Woodwraiths use fae energy to step from shadow to shadow and strike without warning. Woodfangs are imbued with fae energy to enhance their acrobatic and battle prowess with their long-spears called Treefangs.

Been on a bit of a hiatus of late for day job work and such. Will be back to updating and releasing new play test rules for The Sword Marches soon!

As with my other games, Brink of Battle & Scrappers, The Sword Marches allows players to use whatever appropriate miniatures they have at hand, without restriction other than they must have on the miniature the type of weapons & gear that they have purchased for those models on the Warband Muster.

Also, you may use square/rectangular/hexagonal/round basing as you prefer so you don't have to re-base any models from your collection.

Here are some figures from my collection that I use for TSM Warbands:
