About this deal

Wolfish-heads for wolf-man armies on the same sprue: all the better to march with an undead or beast-man army with - a lot of great old horror and sci-fi was achieved with human actors wearing elaborate bestial masks or makeup! Lets assume, that all of my tips will prove to be true, whatwill be still missing? Here is a list of the units (so no characters, no monsters, no artillery) from the books, which would be still needed: The Fifth Battle, Nirnaeth Arnoediad (The Battle of Unnumbered Tears) was the last battle of the War of the Jewels and, essentially, smashed the Noldor forces in Beleriand. The only main Elven strongholds left facing Morgoth after the battle were Nargothrond, Doriath and the City of Gondolin. An "orc" head sprue could also supply alien heads that could be mixed onto historical, fantasy, or sci-fi bodies, with Death Fields accessory weapons, to make retro sci-fi aliens - "space orcs" is basically the aesthetic that Star Trek's Klingons run on, along with their counsins in other sci-fi shows like Babylon 5 (like the Drazi or Centauri), Lost in Space, and so on:

North Star offers two additional blisters for additional heroes for this boxed set, one with a great goblin, a shaman and a drummer, another one with three goblin champions. The plastic set with 30 infantry for 25 GBP is a pretty solid deal, as you pay less then a quid per goblin.As you can see, Morgoth’s armies improved over time, and – with each ‘advance’– they slowly took the initiative until they defeated even the might of the Noldo: try to reflect that in an army you wish to field.

This set offers up Champions armed with various weapons, Musicians, Sorcerers/Shamans and more. I do love that leader character with the fur cloak and scimitar held aloft! This was fought just before the Noldor Elves returned. It was mainly fought against the Sindar and Silvan Elves (this was in fact the only large engagement that involved both these Elven types and led to the creation of their relevant realms). This article is written in that same spirit: it outlines some exploratory ideas for using Oathmark to play historical games. Of course, many players have been using their existing historical collections to flesh out their fantasy armies in any case, but what I’m interested in here is how useful the system might be for purely ‘historical’ rather than ‘fantasy’ gaming.

Faction of Nature with fauns,dryads, centaurs, unicorns, giant eagles, treants (because it would fit the folklore of the Marches, I already made some house rules for some of them, and more is on the way) North Star has started to release the plastic and metal miniatures designed to accompany the forthcoming Oathmark fantasy battle rules from Osprey Games. The new Goblins are a new take on old school designs. Engineers for every race: I dont think, that it will ever be separate engineer boxes. Only a few from them are needed, and the different races mean different sprues... Or a combined sprue? Because there would be no need for so many weapon options, means, there would be more place for bodies. For example 2 bodies from every race (including orcs and goblins) and some weapons? Sounds good, but not very likely...

The older Goblin kit is nice but I think the quality here is a step up. I think the heads in particular are amazing!In this article I have used the plural ‘armies’ rather than ‘army’ because – over the 600 years of the first age of Middle-earth and the wars that raged in Beleriand – Morgoth fielded several armies, each with different commanders and each with slightly different structures, depending on the needs of the campaign at that moment, and I will cover each of these and apply them to particular battles. Sauron was the chief lieutenant of Morgoth and – like his master – he preferred to work through others and rarely took to the field of battle himself, however when he is present, he will be in command of the army. Sauron was a shape shifter and was known to use a couple of different guises: for variety I will list the three major forms he used below and the different abilities he had in each form. However, though I think that’d work well as a leader model, the regular ‘run-of-the-mill’ spiders would besmaller and weaker, I fancied, and would be ideal for the smaller spider models that come in the Wargames Atlanticset (each box has 12 large and 12 small). These smaller ones could be: As you can see Sauron is a very powerful character, however he will not involve himself in direct physical combat if he can avoid it
