Oathmark - Who's Playing?

[Tim Haslam]

North Star will use their existing Copplestone Halflings.
Plus a few new sculpts, I believe by Mr Copplestone???
Although don’t quote me on that.

Love the new WA plastic halflings but double love the Copplestone ones!

For the social media refusers, they also just announced that there will be a free download release of a Halfling army list for Oathmark soon.

Awesome news, thanks for sharing!

[Mr. White]

More looks at the cav and a new halfling for oathmark.

[BZ]

So many insider information in one day . Thanks a lot for sharing!

[Mr. White]

I’m curious what units and creatures will be part of the halfling army. Northstar only has a couple, but great, halflings on foot, iirc.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Additional critters will be good.

Don’t they have the Copplestone casting halflings?

[Mr. White]

This looks great. I actually pretty excited for these little units.

I’m a little concerned that this is one of the author’s final contributions to Osprey (and possibly oathmark). Does this mean the game is effectively dead in terms of further rules development?

[Ogrob]

There is another expansion slated for release, already written I believe. It will be out in June.

Joe has said on FB that he is unsure if he will write more, but Osprey owns Oathmark and may also chose to have someone else write for it. Either way, I think we have a lot of miniatures still waiting to be released for the game. All I really want is more Military Expeditions to keep me happy.

[BZ]

There is the possibility, that he will leave Oathmark, but:
- Probably not as long Northstar Miniatures has a lot of plastic boxed sets in the release-line (and they have).
- He is the game designer, and as long as the sales are good, why should Osprey change that? And if the sales turn that bad, the releases would be discontinued, independent of, who owns the trademark.

I would imagine that they'll just contract the work out to Joseph. He's also the author behind, what appears to be, their biggest selling skirmish game, Frostgrave, and 2nd ed recently launched. I can bet they want to keep selling expansions for that too.

Joseph said, "As one of my last tasks as an Osprey employee...", so as a salaried employee, not as a contractor or any other form of paid freelancer.

I wouldn't worry about him leaving Oathmark, Frostgrave, or the upcoming Stargrave and Silver Spears (from Osprey) anytime soon...

I hope to stoke up a scene in my area. I'm working on the first of my armies, Dwarf-dominated. Kind of suck at photography, but here's the first half of a Dwarf Border Guard unit.
