I'd like to try this a few more times at club house but my availability is a mess right now and Sat and Sun mornings are prob my best open days right now. I'm not on discord but I'm available most Sat/Sun, Thurs as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nellie Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 As Spencer mentioned, I've set up a discord server about it to try and encourage local interest. One of my projects over this summer is going to be to demo Oathmark to new people whenever I find the opportunity. I think I'm going to do it at game stores when possible on the off chance I catch attention from spectators. We'll see how it goes. It'll probably be a while before I can scare up enough people for a campaign format, but I don't mind staying in demo mode for quite a while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tao Tsê-Mung Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 That sounds great! A few months ago @Ish and @Damunky were gung ho about a campaign and Ish even 3d printed a hex map of terrain tiles but they both seem to have disappeared. I’m still super excited about Oathmark and have multiple different army ideas I want to build and try out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tao Tsê-Mung Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Heya, anyone else have some spare time this holiday season and want to get some Oathmark games in? The Ordo clubhouse on Thursday nights are the best for me but Sat/Sun may be possible as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tao Tsê-Mung Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 @Ish You want to get some oathmark games going again? I can be around this Thursday by 5ish but probably won't be available the following couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted December 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Definitely! Probably not until the new year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tao Tsê-Mung Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Sounds good, should probably play a few practice games again, but eventually will you have the schedule to get a campaign going again? I might need a couple new kingdom hex tiles printed. Have they released any new ones in the meantime? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted December 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 They’ve released oodles, unfortunately my laptop got stolen last Christmas and I haven’t yet replaced it. Was going to get myself a new one this holiday… But then my basement got flooded 3” with backed up sewage this weekend. So… Yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tao Tsê-Mung Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Oh dear god, that sucks! I have an old asus aspire netbook you could have if you want. Windows 7 and might have less ram than 3D editing prefers but ran well last time I charged it, and at least handles the web/docs just fine.

Ish Posted December 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Good news is that my 3D printer, miniatures, gaming books, and most of my terrain were all on shelves well above the “high tide line.” Shame about the washing machine, exercise machine, and area rug… Still, the important things are okay! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jello92 Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 I just bought the books (not yet delivered). I'm up for games starting April. I don't think I have any models that would fit the game, but I could use some of my 9th age beastmen or ogres. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I have any models that would fit the game, but I could use some of my 9th age beastmen or ogres. The game is “miniatures agnostic,” so just about any historical or fantasy miniatures will work. The official factions in the game are Human, Dwarf, Elf, Orc, Goblin, Undead*, and Halfling**. Running other fantasy armies as “counts as” proxies is a pretty common occurrence. Heck, the game’s own author has several articles on his blog about using his Skaven as “counts as” goblins. So although there is no “Beastmen” faction, it should be easy enough to find unit equivalents among one of the factions in game (Orcs seems the obvious choice) and while there are Ogre units, there’s not a real good match for a lot of the things in the full army from WHFB/9th Age… But you should be able to run the basic chonky lads as Ogres or Ogre Linebreakers. The real key is to make sure your units have an appropriate “footprint” via their bases or movement tray and that your opponent can tell what unit is what: “These Beastmen with spears are Orc Spearmen and these Beastmen with two-handed axes are Orc Linebreakers.” is perfectly fine. “These Beastmen with spears are Orc Spearmen but these Beastmen with spears are Goblin Slave Slingers.” is not fine. * Undead are added in the Oathbreakers supplement; ** Halflings were added via an “officially unofficial” download from the author’s blog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jello92 Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 Cool. I have plenty of stls for human, dwarf and elf. I'm just not printing anything significant for a few months. We are planning on moving to the beaverton/Tigard area this summer. I suppose I should have asked where you guys are. I forget that some of the group is up north. That's fair. I don't think I'd be able to remember the difference between two units that look the same. I think I saw some movement trays on thingiverse for converting 20mm to 25mm units. That I don't have a problem printing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted March 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 I just moved to St. John’s, absolutely lovely house and a very nice neighborhood… But it isn’t exactly local to any of our friendly local gaming shops. The Portland Game Store is about 30-40 minutes by bus, Guardian Games and Ordo are about an hour. On the other hand, my new job is downtown and is mere minutes away from Ordo and Guardian… So that’s nice. Theres a set of STL files linked in the earlier pages of this thread for putting 20 x 20 mm square or 20 mm round basis onto Oathmark sized 125 mm frontage trays. But there’s a good amount of other options floating around the internet. Some of the ones for adapting round bases are usually like 128 to 130 mm in width, which really isn’t that big of a deal… So don’t stress yourself over a few millimeters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jello92 Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 I live in Saint Helens, but work in Tigard. We just got a small flgs about a year ago called Pantheon. They have a little space to play, but I think the few people out here play 40k or magic. I end up going to the beaverton Hillsboro area most of the time. I'll look back through here and grab those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tao Tsê-Mung Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Any of you pick up the Old Bones pdf from McCullough? The new scenario or rules for giant birds any good? Since I've only played one of his games so far $8 for the pdf seemed a bit high without any preview about the content in it for Oathmark.

Ish Posted March 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 I haven’t, but as a fan of both Oathmark and Frostgrave (who also likes what I’ve read about Rangers and Stargrave) I’m positively inclined to believe it’s probably good… But nothing in the description makes it feel like a “must buy.” Maybe if it goes on sale?

Tao Tsê-Mung Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 Anyone played Oathmark with a more terrain-heavy board and a bit forgiving of the unit lines like the scenario photos in the books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always used movement trays, making it very easy to keep the ranks together. Plus the use of neoprene mats instead of more naturally textured boards as seen in these photos (those are the dream, but for some reason my spouse and kids want “normal living room furniture” and “a dining room table” in the house). Having said that, Oathmark isn’t overly fussy about precisely placing your minis. If your units frontage and flanks are the appropriate size give or take a few millimeters, that’s good enough. If a particular bit of scenery, like a tree root or a low-lying rock gets in the way of precise placement (and yet isn’t something so prominent it ought to be considered Terrain-Terrain) then either move that bit or skoosh the miniature a bit. This isn’t r/WarhammerCompetitive, no one is going to be analyzing the position of your mini down to the micrometer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
