Of Gods and Mortals 'Nickstarter' has begun

[Calimero]

Can someone give me a detailed list of what’s suppose to be in the "OGAMMEGADEAL - I just want everything!!" Of Gods and Mortals Deal ?  I’ve receive a small packet from Northstar yesterday and it seem to be a little light on miniatures… and there was no book or any other accessories in the package I’ve received either… Look like some serious mix-ups happened with my order which is very, very unusual from Northstar…
 
Did I miss something? Did the OGAM Deal supposed to be sent in several parcels?

I’ve sent an email to Northstar but I’m still waiting for an answer…

Cheers!

No one know?

Have you sent a PM to nicknorthstar on here?

Hello Calimero,

you are obviously not the only one who had a mix-up with your order. It happened to me also. I ordered the greek and the celt deal. But when I received my package there was twice the box of the god Ares but no box of the god Cernunnos inside. I wrote two E-Mails but in the first reply there was only an answer to my question about p&p-charge and nothing said about how to solve my problem with the missing box. Hopefuly we will get an answer soon.

I've sent three eMails to Nick... He replied to the first one but not the other two… must be the weekend in UK too!

Nick and co have been at Crisis in Antwerp this weekend, I believe, so may well have not been on email – I'm sure they'll get back to everyone once they're back up and running.

Hurrah,

today I got a mail and hopefully a solution for my problem.

Hurrah,

today I got a mail and hopefully a solution for my problem. 

Same here... I wasn't really worried, Nick always been a great guy to deal with

Does anyone have views about the rules themselves yet? I have only flicked through them but they seem very tight. Some nice additions to SoBH especially the rules for Gods and Legends. I can see them transferring very well to heroic Fantasy.

I had a look at them, nice rules for warband sized games upwards. I haven't tried them out yet but they look simple to pick up.

The real advantage is the bit at the back allowing you to create your own pantheon so should you wish to have a fantasy Orc force in there you could create Gork and Mork and go from there.

I need to have a closer look to see if there would be a way of creating things like trolls but at the very least you should be able to do lists for Elves and other humanoids pretty simply.

The army builder in the book can, in theory, produce anything you want. Trolls are easy (p.56) if you want the Norse style. Otherwise, it really is just a case of building the concept you want with the 72 character traits in the book.

For a more GW-style Swamp Troll, I'd go with:

Q4, C2 (Mortal) – Standard mortal load-out, the difference is added with the Traits.
Amphibious, Big, Greedy – Classic troll traits. I'd also consider adding Shooter (Short) to model the vomit attack, but I've never much cared for it!
Points: 17

For a Rock Troll:

Q4, C2 (Mortal)
Armoured, Big, Hammering Blow
Points: 32

Thanks, those look like useful Trolls! 

I have just dug out some old Black Tree Vikings, and a Late Roman based human fantasy army I was building, looks like I could quite easily put two quick forces together for this. Just need to decide on Gods!

[Smith]

Just remember that, when creating units, multiply the base cost by 2 for a Legend and 4 for a God.

Enjoy!

Looking at this with a sort of big picture view you could easil use these rules as a basis for super hero games as well.

I can see the likes of Hellboy being treated as a God with agents as the mortals and special characters as heroes.

[Calimero]

Nick received my emails and will send the missing stuff soon. In the meantime, I’m eager to start painting the rank and file figures I’ve received and some legends...

Are the rules designed for a particular basing system? Which are the base sizes you use for the different types of figures?
