Unfortunately it was released during the pandemic, so i suspect there are a lot less videos and reviews than there otherwise may have been.Karantu wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 4:46 amI've been itching for a mass battle system lately and Oathmark seems pretty interesting. There's not much online about it (compared to the more popular game systems) but it still seems to be more than a one-off since they seem to be releasing more expansions as well as actually have some miniatures kits (in plastic no less).
Like Primarch mentioned, unit basing would've made sense for it and that would make it easier to play it with random miniatures from other games. Anyway, I'd love to give it a shot, I just need to figure out how to get my Lizardmen or Bonereapers from AoS to work as a legal army in Oathmark...
It is miniature agnostic, but it is also set in a more dark-ages fantasy setting (no gunpowder or even crossbows). That being said I've used my Empire as standard humans with handgunners as archers and a mortar as a catapult. I've also written a draft beastman list based on Orcs and some other creatures (using stats for gargoyles from the monsters as harpies, taking the chariots from the undead, etc.)
The latest expansion (which i got yesterday) is called Oathbreakers and has the undead rules, so i don't think playing your bonereapers should be too hard. For lizardmen maybe start with the orc and goblin list (saurus = Orcs, skinks = goblins) to get the hang of it then consider some houserules. as offhand the Orcs are rewarded for being aggressive with charge abilities that may not gel with Saurus being more slow and methodical (from my WFB memories).
