Now What? (Skirmish Edition)

So Far
What have I completed?
  1. I decided to make counters to use for arena battles.
  2. I designed and printed counters for 13 different factions.
  3. I stuck the labels onto bases, giving me completed counters for 2 factions - dwarves and goblins.
  4. These two factions met in my first arena battle.

Now What? A Skirmish Campaign?
t would make sense to complete the counters for the other 11 factions. But I find myself getting distracted by other possibilities, specifically the idea of a dwarf-goblin war campaign. I would follow the exploits of a band of dwarves as they fight to clear a goblin infestation from their mine.

Considerations
First, what rules should I use for the campaign itself?
  • I'd like something that will generate diverse missions and will allow my dwarf warband to improve over time.
  • I don't want something that requires me to track a lot of resources. That was the issue I had with Five Clicks, a post-apocalyptic game by Nordic Weasel.
  • I will probably write my own campaign rules. In the meantime, I'm perusing various wargames for scenario and campaign ideas.
What additional resources do I need?
  • I feel like I need more grunts for both sides. Also, I envision running into some monsters, like trolls. Now I need monster counters.
  • Terrain? I could just use the terrain from my MicroBattles Big Battles set. But I'd like to put something together that is more skirmish-y
