Played this alot when Solo gaming was the only option. It's miniature agnostic with a moderate miniature count when you start but with all the expansions and great fan made scenarios it soon gets daunting in 28mm. So with my recent switch to 10mm I though why not try and finish what I started.
For those unfamiliar, with the game you start by creating a Ranger and his companions. You get some build points and choices of recruits to make them your own. I've not settled on a back story but here is my crew.
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/16577-070723161015.jpeg)
We have the aforementioned Ranger and crew made up of a Rogue, Guardsman, Archer and two Men at arms
There are other more specialised option but they cost and you start with limited points. I've learned numbers make a difference when you begin.
The rest of this thread will be me geting them ready for their first outing
I'm planning to down scale everything using the old switch from inches to CM trick so the max board area I'll need will be about 30cm squared if I always deploy on the table edge, perfect portable adventure.
Excellent idea, nice painting on thr Ranger's party.
Nice
Nice idea and they look very nice 8) .
Thanks
I should be able to knock up what's needed for the fist couple of games fairly quickly
Cant wait to hear how your first games turn out. Remember to take loads of pictures. Those copplestone models look stunning!

Have you thought of trying Sellswords and Spellslingers with these?
Quote from: sunjester on 08 July 2023, 07:41:43 AMHave you thought of trying Sellswords and Spellslingers with these?
It's on my list but I havn't picked a copy up yet, I have several of his A Song of... games and really like them,S&S looks like it deals with Solo gaming really well and from the monster cards there are alot available from Pendraken so I'll be getting to it at some point.
I chose RoSD as its what got me back into gaming after a 20 year hiatus
Sorry, I've just realised that we having this conversation on two different forums at the same time!
Lol no worries my username over there is different so that doesn't help :D
While I wait for some minis and terrain I have on order I decided to knock up some scatter and objective I will need for various scenarios

I've often thought of doing fantasy skirmish in 10mm over the years. You're proving to me that it can be done & look good.
Cheers.
Thanks got into 10mm purely for rpg gaming I've along way to go I hope I don't get too distracted by the great work on here.
Several of the scenarios require a small camp, either as the start point or for a bandit/knoll camp.
Thought about making one myself but then found a nice looking set on the alternative armies site. Thought at 15mm it might be a tad oversized, was I wrong
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/16577-110723063851.jpeg)
Frankly it's too small for anything other than the halfling, can't believe they sell it as a 15mm piece. It'll do for now but will be revisiting my DIY plan once I get some blue stuff.
One thing I am wondering is if their 15mm is undersized can I use some of their monsters...
The lizard men in particular look rather cool
One of my favourite scenarios; Broken Stairs requires bug spawn points
Knocked this up as a prototype
Looks OK but needs some bugs :D
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/59/16577-110723064012.jpeg)
The bug hole looks great!
I've got some Alternative armies monsters and Magister Militum 15mm monsters. I'll take some comparison pictures for you later today.
Think I've got some of the lizardmen aswell.
Nice!

Magister Militum 15mm Trolls. Work perfect with 10mm in my opinion.

Alternative armies serpent, and magister militum orcs. The orcs are a tad too big, so either those act as ogres or go with Copplestone orcs.
(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1113351464199409694/1128355505815957645/20230711_190008.jpg?)
Alternative armies cockatrice, demon and a lizardman. The lizardman I could see working, lizardpeople can be a tad bigger?
Those all look useful, great painting too, what I'm struggling to find decent armoured skeletons to represent shadow knight

Pendraken used to do a swarm of rats - and a pied piper - in their fantasy Beggar range. Not currently listed, but may be still available. Leon?
You're figures are terrific. Love the corpse markers. Did you make them, or are they bought like that?

I'd rather have individual rats, I'm probably going to get them printed to the size I need
I made the markers, just cut the bases of minis - ones that are charging work best, benging the feet down makes a visual difference too
Not much to update this weekend
Did get my first game in to remind myself of the rules, used way too many proxies to take photos but did realise my party needed a rework
My Ranger held up OK but the group needed a bit more range power so after a stats rework here they are
Ranger,Rogue, Guardsman and Archer remain but swapped out one of the men at arms for a Tracker armed with a bow and staff

For Oathmark? We've had all the book expansions we're getting, but Joe throws occasional stuff on his blog, the couple of magazines for his stuff have bits and bobs, and there might be something similar to the Halfling lists eventually maybe?
I'd just run them as Orcs & Giblins though, tbh. Maybe swap Wild Charge or Charge for bad terrain movement.

I've done a similar thing with one of the children's old blackboards - gaming mat glued to one side, printed urban landscape to the other for a 37cm x 27cm playing area. Very useful.
Although I've just had a look, and some of the urban tiles have half un-glued themselves :(.
Again, yours looks great.

Ta. Would never have guessed that OM == Oathmark ;).
Joe McCollough is a busy little bee, isn't he. Two Frostgrave games, Stargrave, Rangers of Shadow Deep and Oathmark. And all of their supplements. Certainly pumps them out.
You forgot Silver Bayonet :D
Tempted to try that in 10mm too
Unfortunately I've gone and run out of bases
On the bright side 4 Battlescale building turned up this morning

If you want to design games for a living you better be prolific AND have a day job :D
Yeah, he has a great and consistent output.
Oathmark is pretty much baked and done now, rules wise - main book, three supplements and a couple web releases; there's some little articles trickling out in his/Osprey's zines, but nothing major.
Northstar are still chugging through the 28mm kits to catch up though so it looks like it's chugging along nicely.
Corso, I kind of fancy Silver Bayonet but so many games. So little time...
Silver Bayonet was fun, I played through the missions in the book at 28mm scale, finished it and moved on there is a supplement I might take a look at it again in either 20 or 10mm
I use some newline designs 20mm Naps for songs of drums and shakos but my head has been turned by Leon's range
Reworking the warband a bit
