North Star auf Facebook:

Later this year, North Star Military Figures and Osprey Games will be releasing a new range of fantasy miniatures, beginning with a plastic box set of Dwarf Infantry! Each sprue from this set allows you to build 5 Dwarves armed with spears, hand weapons, or bows, with a huge variety of head options. We are also working on similar boxes for Elves and Goblins! There are no official release dates yet,

Auf die Frage ob die Modelle for Frostgrave seien:
Guys, it's NOT Frostgrave. It's a brand new project!!

Auf die Frage auf welche größte das ganze ausgelegt sein werde:

Auf die Frage ob die Modelle für Frostgrave - Ghost Archipelago kompatibel sein werden:
I'm not allowed to tell this.

Das Spiel soll schon very soon offiziell angekündigt werden.

Ruleset next year.

Auf die Frage welche Völker/Fraktionen geplant sind:
Dwarfs, Orks (we call them Goblins), Wargs and Elves.

Auf die Frage wie Bases gehandhabt werden:
Individual basing. The Dwarves come with 25mm square bases. That might be a bit much for Halflings, see what you think. If they look too big, 20mm square will be right.

Auf die Frage wann das Game den endlich offiziell angekündigt wird:
 
Es gibt noch weitere Informationen, sogar vom Autor himself persönlich, von seiner Blog Seite 😀 ...

It’s true, I am currently designing a mass-battle fantasy game as part of my job for Osprey Games. I don’t want to talk too much about it at present, because it is still in the early stages of development. It is still going to be a long time before a set of rules hits the market, and many elements can, and probably will, change from now until then.

That said, for the curious, I can make a few statements about which I am 'mostly' confident.




  • Oathmark is a ‘rank and file’ game, meaning that most figures will be organized into units that will fight in blocks.
  • However, the basic element of the game is the figure. Each figure has its own stats, and casualties are removed individually.
  • The standard base for most ‘human-ish’ sized figures is 25mm square, so figures mounted on round 25mm, or smaller, bases will be usable with movement trays.
  • The game features a bunch of different races – four main ones to start – each of which have unique stats.
  • There will be a full campaign system, which involves building your kingdom as well as your army. (Assuming I can get all of it to work!).
  • This game has no connection to Frostgrave other than sharing a few deep routed philosophies about what I believe makes a fun fantasy wargame. (Plus most of the plastic kits for the two games will be compatible!).

I’ll talk more about the game as I go along, but it will be a slow process. For now, enjoy the plastic minis that are coming soon!

... und für alle welche jetzt super gierig auf die neuen Zwerge aus Plastik sind, noch eine News von der offiz. Oathmark FB Seite:

Look out for Friday 13th. Unlucky for some, but for us we'll start taking pre-orders for the Oathmark Dwarves. We will be making the pre-orders worth your while, we promise, and they will only be on offer for 10 days!

Weitere Bilder der Zwerge und ein Teaser für die Goblins 🙂 ...
