54th Grumblies Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Could I use a Sassanid war elephant as a "treat as" Ogre Linebreaker? Would love the excuse to paint some of those... My copy of main rulebook arrived today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted August 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Ogres and Ogre Linebreakers are meant to be on 50 x 50 mm bases, which might be too small for your elephants… Maybe they could work as “counts as” Chariots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chariots are not in core rules, yeah? Base size is something to consider I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope; They were added in Oathbreakers for the Undead and in Bane of Kings for everybody else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look at Monstrous Encounters’ Kobold Set 1 (basic rank and file) and Set 2 (for characters; I really dig that bard) if you want the typical D&D tiny dragon-man style of Kobold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted August 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 One Page Rules has their Saurian Army, which is basically their off-brand take on the Meso-American Dinosaur-Man theme of GW’s Lizardmen. These models are, at default print heights, on the large end of 32 mm scale… But if you shrunk them down before printing, you could probably get them to look Kobold-y.

Ish Posted August 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Those Kobold Miners, with the shovels and pickaxes, would be excellent to use as “counts as” Goblin, Orc, or even Dwarf Engineers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted August 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 I’ve got Discord, I’m signed up to the Ordo channel… I just… Never use Discord. It’s okay for real-time communication, but I find it really cumbersome for anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nellie Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Had a great first game with @Damunky. My elves squared off against a force of mostly Orcs and Goblins. I won at the cost of 2/3ds of my soldiers. Morale was the defining factor in the fight. I didn't appreciate the elves point value until I saw how you really need to kill them to the last man (last elf?) to get them off the table. They're expensive, but you get your points worth. I'm really impressed with the game. I'll be very busy next week, but I look forward to catching some more matches after! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted August 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Who’s up for doing a proper campaign? I know we’re all still learning the game and putting together our armies, but campaign play is a big part of what makes Oathmark tick. Maybe just a short one… Four to six weeks and 1,000-2,000 Points (players’ choice when setting up a game). We could start the first game night of September and run until mid or late October? December and January are always a slow period for gaming, what with holidays, bad weather, and end-of-year/beginning-of-year work stuff, so I’d hate to lose the momentum that Oathmark seems to be building.

So the crusade escalation league just started last week and will run for several weeks yet. I’d definitely like to start the Oathmark campaign as soon as the escalation league is over. But I’d prefer not to have to miss one for the other. I’d also like to suggest we set a default game size and stick to it relatively closely. @Ish @Damunky We’ve talked about the 2500pt game being the “standard” size according to the book pg82. The victory/loss effects and passage of time rolls between battles means we’ll want time to make changes between sessions. It’ll be annoying to have to prepare for widely varying game size like from 1000pts up to 2500pt depending upon who’s available. Knowing what the usual game size is has a big effect on which monsters & territories people take too.

Ish Posted August 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Excellent points… I had been thinking about keeping the points down in order to lower the “barrier to entry,” but a fixed 2,500 Points makes a lot of sense too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tao Tsê-Mung Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Narrowing down to 2500 is hard enough - at 1000pts I don’t even have a full kingdom of territories either. I can only imagine it’s worse for elite armies like Elves. I want to play the 4k games! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nellie Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Surely somebody has contrived a way to run it as an escalation league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
