Oathmark - Who's Playing?

[Ogrob]

I just got a kit, but haven't done anything with them yet. Seeing that the sprues included webbed up victims sold me on it.

Same here. I just waited for a source of single sprues (I mean with reasonable shipping costs).

They’re on the list of models to get as I want them for my Oathmark elves as well as for RoSD scenarios.

@BZ, fantastic blog posts on your armies. I originally planned on starting my armies with one unit box, but your posts has me considering two per army to start with. Keep the good work coming.

For me, they dont really fit to elves, but the more for the goblins!
Thanks! I think, that one box is nice, to try out the game, but with 2 boxes you can really combine forces, and have interesting battles. But it also depends on the race, because two boxes of elves are at least 1200 points, but two boxes of goblins are maximum 660...

I think there’s a few instances in popular fantasy IPs that seem to make sense for spiders and elves together.

In Dungeons and Dragons, there are the Drow and their Spider Queen goddess, Lolth.

In Tolkien, one can imagine the elves of Mirkwood making a peace treaty or alliance with the Spiders of Mirkwood to defend the forest.

But yeah, it’s not an association I make at first either.

Mirkwood spiders are the children on Ungoliath and I can't see elves making deals with them.

I could very well imagine an elf force with giant spiders (evil dark elves, separated wood elves, etc.), but I cant imagine them for my wives elf army (more of a classic, fairy kind of elves).

Breaking news! 😀

Very much looking forward to those, especially Human Cavalry and the Orcs.

[Mr. White]

I already thought the dwarf light infantry were released? Isn't there a unit of dwarves with hoods and bows or something? That seems pretty light to me...

I'm undecided on which direction i want to go for my humans. I have the wonderful Fogou beehive huts and was thinking I'd use the barbarians from Frostgrave. I also really like the Victrix Saxons.

Of course, we're all waiting to see what the actual Oathmark orcs look like...

Cool.

The existing boxes are mail armoured (soldiers, spear and archers) and plate armoured troops (Warrior and Linebreaker).

Nice post by BZ here: https://oathgrave.blogspot.com/2021/01/22-oathmark-dwarven-army.html

[Mr. White]

Do the unit boxes list what units can be built out of them? I haven't seen a box in person, so is this somewhere on the back? Or do people just build what they think the models can represent?

EDIT: I can't seem to figure out how to get my posts to go through on BZs blog, unless they don't show up unless he approves them or something, so I'll post my comment here:

Another great post! It's not clear to me though on these Oathmark boxes what can be made from what. I mean, this dwarf infantry box with its hoods and bows, look to me like they could be used for various light infantry type positions in the army list. But I understand there are dwarf light infantry models coming out. Likewise, could one make linebreaker models from the infantry box (I'm not such a fan of the heavy infantry models)? Does the unit box have suggestions on what to make with its contents?

Thanks! I dont know why You cant write on the blog, I will take a look on it! Normally it should be free to comment for everybody.
On the Oathmark boxes, there is no recommendation for specific Oathmark units, just a short description about the weapon options. So basically You can build what you want. I think most of the time its pretty obvious, what the purpose was: for example Elf Light Infatry has bows, swords and shields, what excludes spearman, as there is no light spearman in the rulebook. But we build from this set elven soldiers and elven archers, because my wife liked their design more, then the one from the Elf Infantry box. Just take the rulebook, search for sprue-pictures, and plan what units you would like to see!

I have sprue pictures on my blog.

Thanks!

Here's an interesting Lindwurm model. Sounds like the Oathgrave one is more wyvern-like though.
