Oathmark - Who's Playing?

[Mr. White]

You can build your kingdom based on goblin only - though you could have Ents instead of Trolls (Ents get nimble).

Ohh...good call on the Ents as Trolls

How big could these be? Im searching for an ent for the elven army of my wife, but I want to use it as a giant, so I would need something big. Until now, the only one I found for a reasonable price is this:

Agree, play them like Goblins and build your own Kingdom to get the troop types and allies you want.

One of the sad things is the narrowing of the English language, as people become more distant from certain parts of its usage, and the environment changes.

In certain parts of the English speaking worldthere may still be two types of "sheep dog", the familiar shepherd dog and the sheep dog. That latter guards the sheep (for those of a certain vintage they used to do more than advertise paint).

So you can map wolves for goblins to sheep dogs for Halflings. Now Dags is the local expert on dogs. He might be able to point you in the right direction (different countries have different "sheep dogs", so there are a lot of options).

Warlord games has a lot of different halfling riders, on pigs or goats, with bow, spears or hand weapons. I have a plan to convert their heavy pig riders into dwarven cavalry (just swap of heads and hands).

My Oathbreakers order turned up a lot quicker than expected. The artwork in the book is spectacular, a little darker all around which gives the whole book a great evocative look suiting the theme of breaking Oaths and cursed undead.

Interesting read.

Just started assembling the first skeleton.

So, i've moved my minis storage over to Really Useful Boxes, per the recent Duncan video. I've magnetized my existing collection, but it's my minis that I use metal washers as the bases for which stick the best. I think i want to do my oathmark armies on metal washers too, but will need to see if I can find round washers about the same size as the renedra rounds so I can use those rank n flank bases to set them in.

Oathmark goblins and orcs...do we know, visually, the difference between the two? so far we only have goblin models, but are there even orc illustrations in the book so we'll have an idea what their distinction might be?

I'm pretty sure the spread on pp 136-137 is the cover illustration for a future orc box. They don't look much different from the goblins - just fiercer.

Me too, and there is significantly more armor on them.

A German company, and the German publisher of Saga, sells 25mm round magnetized metal bases. Maybe you can find a UK (is this where you live?) equivalent?

Those would be excellent Orcs I would be keen to get. I would mix and match them with the goblins and the wolves to cover all orcish types in any way related to Tolkien. I know that size and style wise the goblins are great as is, but I would like more variety in an Orc army.

[Hobgoblin]

They're probably a long way off, but I wonder if there are plans for armoured orcs - e.g. linebreakers and warriors. From the striking F stats and the rulebook description, you'd expect them to be a lot bigger than the standard orcs (however big those are).

Hope so...

[Mr. White]

So, would the painted piece on pages 184-185, be for a unit of goblin slaves? What about the dwarves on 170-171?
