33. Oathmark Halflings!

Im not planning to make a news channel out of this blog, but now, I have to make an exception. Because there are great news for every Oathmark fan! Joe McCullough announced on his blog, that halflings arrived to the Marches!

They dont get a full-sized army list, but at least (fitting to their size) a half-sized one:

• Halfling Adventurer (basically a prince)
• Halfling Captain (without Magic Items)
• Halfling Champion (without Magic Items)
• Halfling Spellcaster (with a maximum level of 3, but own spells!)
• Halfling Soldier
• Halfling Spearman
• Halfling Archer
• Halfling Border Scout (a Nimble unit with sling)
• Halfling Light Catapult
• Hounds (with the maximum size of 5 hounds/unit)

Thier general attributes are:

• Low activation (because they are not really really skilled soldiers)
• Slow movement (you know, short legs...)
• Low fight and shoot values (their simply too small I guess)
• Courage (they dont usually go to battle, but if they do, they defend something important)
• Shield (without carrying a shield, to represent their ability to evade, but not all units get it)

They also got some extras:

• Halfling Bow (with slightly reduced range)
• 5 spells (are pretty easy to cast, and some of them seems to be really useful)
• And of course the neccesary terrain list.

I recommend to check out the post of Joe McCullough and the PDF of the rules (You can find the link in the original post, I dont link it here, because I dont want to steal any clicks from the author), there are some beautiful pictures (with Mark Copplestone sculpts)!
