In addition, I bought some Oathmark Goblin from North Star Miniatures. I started the month by painting a few more Moonclan Grots, in this case three goblins with nets. How I paint Moonclan Grots I then moved on to painting one of the Rockgut Troggoths. These are large, detailed miniatures, and it took me a little time to work out a colour scheme I wanted. I have started the next two troggoths, but they are taking a bit of time to finish. ...

How I Paint Oathmark Goblins When I started building my Oathmark Orc and Goblin army, the first miniatures I painted were a handful of Goblin Soldiers. Before committing to a larger force, I wanted to develop a painting scheme that was both quick to apply and effective across large units. For rank-and-file troops, my priority is always speed and consistency. Individual Goblins do not need to be display pieces, but a unit of twenty painted to a consistent standard can look very impressive on the battlefield. The method described below is designed with that goal in mind.

Rather than simply selecting units from an army list, players first build a kingdom and then recruit troops from the regions under their control. This approach gives Oathmark a very different feel from many other fantasy battle games. It also allows players to create interesting combinations of forces that would normally be unavailable to a traditional army list.

The Kingdom system remains one of the defining features of the game and is one of the reasons Oathmark stands out from other fantasy battle systems. I will be revisiting the Kingdom system once I have had the opportunity to explore the new edition. New to painting miniatures → Start Here For more Oathmark Articl...
