Of Gods and Mortals 'Nickstarter' has begun

[LeadAsbestos]

I'm in for a set, if such a set is available! Fomors, priestess, Feg. Probably pony up for the Celts too! If Cuchulainn is the one pictured, I've got him already, but I have to say, I'm pleased that someone picked up this lovely line of minis. Thank you!

I've been waiting for more than 3 months for these rules to be released.

I'm planning to field a Norse Dwarf warband and a Fomorian warband.

This is my Balor, a Hordes Skorne Cyclops Shaman:

I picked up some of the Roy Eastland Celts from the Cahp at Midlam miniatures they were from one of his projects he never finished so was selling them off. They fit perfectly with the Celtos range

Cuchulainn is a brand new Steve Saleh figure. The figure in the photo is a Foundry Slain figure that we used to put the initial warbands together. We'll be photographing our Cuchulainn this week.

Dang, Nick - quit keeping us on the hook here!

Great choice, arjunstc!

Thanks, Admiral. 

I can't wait for him to lead my Fomorians in battle!

Can I ask a question about the rules, anyone know if mortals
can field cavalry units?

I'm painting some Celt cav at the moment and would like
To use them for OGaM.

Some can – it depends on the Pantheon and the unit type. Some are mounted as standard, some can be upgraded to mounted troops (as is the case with the Celt Nobles).

The more I read about this new rules set - the more I am tempted to start a new project. I'll be looking out for some more info. when I visit Colours this Sunday, but very tempted.

Well, Smith answered your question, but from what I have read you can basically stat up any character/unit using the points system given in the rules.

What I really like about the whole concept is that you can just take any of the historical/fantasy armies you already own (and like), add a 40mm figure as a god, a few heroes and monsters, and you are ready to go!

I'm now very tempted to add a Trojan or Egyptian warband, but I keep telling myself I should wait until I've actually seen the rules and played a game or two before I buy more figures!

Thanks very much Smith and arjunstc, excellent news.

The Celt and spartan foot I ordered from northstar arrived
Today, so I've made a start on those as well, I'm hoping
To pretty much have the Greek and Celt wargames mortal
Foot ready to go by the time my rules, gods and legends turn up.

 I should be able to get 2 completed factions ready to go in
short order once they arrive.

I've loved all Andreas 'song of....' Rules so far, so I'm looking
Forward to OGaM very much

Nick, Osprey has a 30%off-offer this weekend on all books, ebooks and pre-orders, including OGAM!? I'm a bit annoyed about this as I already pre-ordered the book on your site with one of your offers. Will we get this discount as well?

[Sterling Moose]

The Book Depository is almost always cheaper than retail (and free P&P always):

Osprey offering 30% off a book not out yet is rubbish, I agree. Asking me for the discount is slightly petulant though, maybe I would if Osprey gave me an extra 30% as well?

In regards the book depository, and Amazon in fact, I've gone over this before on LAF. We all like discounts of course, I'm no different, but I'd ask customers to think about where that money goes. You may save £3.60 buying your OGAM from the BP, but the money you spent with them disappears into a black hole of shareholders and in the case of Amazon non-tax paying shareholders. When you buy a copy of OGAM from me, the profit from that book goes into the fund that pays Steve Saleh to make more figures for the games, it pays Kev Dallimore to paint the figures, design the box sets and write modelling articles about them, and it pays someone to cast the figures  .

I think the £3.60 extra is a small price to pay to keep that money in your hobby.

Going back to the subject of buying from me or elsewhere, we have said all along you can request a refund at anytime before the release of the book and figures, no arguments.
