Oathsworn is a minis, terrain and games company, run by two people who really should know better...
This big guy was supposed to be finished last week, for National Badger Day. Stuff kept getting in the way.
But it's still Brocktober (definitely a thing, I'm sure), so here he is! :)

Another 3 sculpts for Burrows & Badgers - a Witch Hunter Hare, a Hillfolk Clanbeast Shrew, & an Illuminator-Sargeant Weasel.

Maybe they'll even get released before the end of the year! Probably not, given the way things are going... still, there's always Salute next April! ;)

My first attempt at a Maschinen Kreiger build. It's a Mk1 SAFS kit (Nitto series 4), with the addition of a couple of fake nails, and lots of putty!

Three more sculpts for Burrows & Badgers - these are Routiers, from General Alban deBrandt's Freebeast mercenary army. A hedgehog, and a couple of mice.
The hedgehog's inspired by a sketch Peter Johnston did (great illustrator - if you have a project needing art, hire him! :) )

I think this one is done - I'll try and resist the urge to fiddle further!

Two more sculpts for Burrows & Badgers - a Mole warrior-priest for the Witch Hunters, and a Squirrel Stable Ghast for the Undead.
Natural enemies! :)

Building a MaK SAFS... I've made a base, which TBH doesn't really add anything, so I'll probably lose that. And the pistol's not really working either... I'll see how it goes.

Insignia next, followed by the fun bit - weathering! :)

This is one of those models which I really like in hand, but struggle to find a good photo angle for...

Black Rat Kindred Knight, for Burrows & Badgers.

Obligatory Salute map... but we're much easier to find this year! Just walk straight in and look for the Warlord stand on your right. Then walk past to our stand next to them!

We have the book, two starter Bands, Rosters, a 'getting started' thing, White Mouse mini, & Otter knight mini, for £100.

I meant to put this one in my last post, but forgot... here's the two starter bands, getting released this month. (The objective markers in the previous post are included as well.)

A Royalist Hound knight, and some objective markers... all Bands need three objective markers in the new version of Burrows & Badgers. It can be fun to make your own, but we've done these just to make it easy to get started.

A couple of Rogues, (Weasel and Little Owl) which will be part of the new Starter Bands, to be released at Salute at the Excel London, on the 12th April. And on the webstore, shortly after. :)

A couple of Royalist squires, ready to provide support to their Knights:

Delfort Swiftpad, Rabbit, One Handed Weapon, Bow, Buckler.

And Marley Grumbert, Mouse, One Handed Weapon, Bow, Buckler.

These will be in the new Starter Bands, released (hopefully!) at Salute in April.

Burgess Latigert, cat. He's from the new starter Rogues band, hopefully getting released in April at Salute. Spear and Tangle Net. Should be a fun one to use in the game! :)

An alternative colour scheme on that very heavily armoured otter... this one's for my demo table at Salute. I'm calling him 'The Red Knight' for obvious reasons! :)

The leader for the new starter Rogues band, hopefully getting released in April at Salute.
Two paint schemes, because I realised I needed one for the display cabinet, and one for the demo table!

A couple of otters... both heavily armoured, but one looks like a psychotic killing machine and the other looks a bit more friendly. He'd probably still poke you with his spear if you diss the Reinerts, though; the Royalists are like that! :)

As people have been asking, yes, we will be selling the new Burrows & Badgers rulebook on our webstore once it is released (we're still on with editing at the moment!), and yes, there will be a bonus mini.
Here's mine, as a green, and painted; the mysterious White Mouse... :)

The leaders of a couple of Burrows & Badgers bands fight it out... Royalists v Rogues!
I reckon the fox would've preferred a little more distance between them; a couple of shots from that caliver would really tip the balance... :)

Happy Christmas (or alternative holiday of your choice! ;) ) everyone!
Whatever you're all up to over the next few days, I hope it goes well and you have fun!

Here's the obligatory festive image, featuring hobby hero, educator extraordinaire, and part-time pirate, Tim Eagling.

I’m going to finally build & paint some Crimson Fists. I’ve been planning this project for a years… it’s actually for 3rd edition 40K! I’m going to start small, with a 400 point list. Two done: a Scout, and a Tactical Sergeant.
