Oathmark - Who's Playing?

[Mr. White]

I do struggle with the dwarf creatures. That is I have a hard time wrapping my head around the narrative of these creatures in the dwarven forces. They don't seem too much like dwarven allies to me. Yeti's and spirit dogs? but maybe I've been brought up with too much GW and not enough real world mythology...

Thanks!

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

Very nice sculpt, but the Lindwurm is a flying creature, so I rather would take something with wings. We use for my wives elven army a griffon from Reaper, as it a bit more girly, then a wyvern: https://oathgrave.blogspot.com/2020/12/19-oathmark-elven-army.html
But this could be a nice knucker!

I always struggle with dwarven monsters, in every game... (unless its a golem or some mechanical being) The common trait of the dwarf creatures in Oahmark is for me, that theye are all a wooly-hairy thing, so I would imagine all of them living in cold conditions. That binds them together to a more homogeneous origin. But I was thinking about using a gorgon, like a mechanized bull (again Reaper) instead of the indriks, and some sort of golems instead of the eachies (but I had no idea what to use instead of the barghest). However, I ended up using yetis and a bloodwolf (and again Reaper), which are more true to the originals (still searching for affordable indriks...).
What is GA? Sorry, Im pretty new in this hobby, and I dont know all the abbrevations.

I have Reapers Shadow Hound for my dwarf force:


I also bought  Pygmy Mammoth but he's a bit big for 50 mm base. I have to put him on some rocks or something like that

[Mr. White]

^ That is awesome!

How'd you get paint to adhere to part of the model? It doesn't look like you spray primed it. Applied with a brush?

It still feels like a weird creature to be running with dwarves, to me, but this is fantastic for what it is. Thanks for sharing!

Now I absolutely understand... I also grown up on WFHB fluff.

My god, thats so cool! The photos on Reaper website very-very... unimpressive.
How big is the mammoth? Im also thinking about it.

[Mr. White]

Are there sabot style movement trays for 50mm squares? What I mean is, if I get something like this shadow hound, or ogres, or what not and put them on round bases, is there a square 50mm base I can set the round based creature into, or is a trio like this the only option?

I'd love to have these larger creatures on individual squares as I might not run a full three.

[Mr. White]

@mruk, what are you basing your shadow hound on? Do you have other pictures of your Oathmark armies?

[mruk]

@Jack Hooligan, @BZ wow, Thank you!
I found the idea for paint scheme online:


I applied the paint with a brush. I started with purple base color/underpainting without any primer. I hope it will stick to the model
As for pygmy mammoth its the only photo I have for now:




When i get back from my vacation on monday I can take some more photos of it.
I'm basing my models on some old fiberboard. It's a bit thick but I had it lying around so...

I just started building my dwarf army. I have a box of north star dwarf infantry, plus some em4 dwarves I convert with spare parts. My plan is to have two small 500 points amies to start playing when situation gets a bit better.

[Mr. White]

Very cool, thanks for sharing!
Oh, what is the other force you're building up?

This reminds me...didn't someone share some other translucent models sometime back? blue ghosts or revenants or something.

[Ogrob]

Reaper has more translucent stuff in their Bones range. I have this in my Frostgrave collection:

[BZ]

I also had two of them:

[Mr. White]

@Ogrob, @BZ, thanks!
What are the names of these models?

There are also some other translucent wraiths.

@Jack Hooligan oh, I forgot I have some Avatars of War doomcrushers too. I want to make dwarf linebreakers from them. Second force I'll be making are orcs and goblins. I want them to be Tolkienesque, not GW style. I wonder how north star orcs
and Wargames Atlantic goblins will look like. I hope to make some kitbashing.
