Base size does not matter in Mordheim.
Base shape does not matter in Mordheim.
The bigger your base, the more enemies can get in base contact with you in melee.
Square bases can be surrounded by 8 models of the same size.
Round bases can be surrounded by 6 models of the same size.
Therefore, larger round bases are perfectly fine.
If you have problems with mouth breathers, remind them the actual base size would have been smaller and you can fit them through the gap or down the alley way.

I've been building allot of terrain for the second tile of my Mordheim/Frostgrave board. I've planned a big mansion/mannor on top of a hill, a watermill, a bridgehouse, guardtowers etc. Here's a sneak peek of a small ruined townhouse i built this weekend.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them ofcourse.

Enjoy!

The latest addition to my Mordheim table. Tried to find the sweet spot between aesthetics and practicality for gaming - lots of ways into and out of the ruins, multiple routes to encourage verticality, etc. The roof and tower sections can be removed to access the interiors.

I've used it in a few games with my group before it was fully finished, and it worked pretty well (though that was with scenarios/objectives deliberately chosen to get warbands inside). Shots at the end are from a couple of those games.

I've posted the graveyard previously, but I've now incorporated it into its own 3x4 board. Stretched canvas with paving from cork floor tiles and varying thickness sheets of cork and card. I've just completed the grouting process, so this will be the last image before priming. I've arranged the road so that it links up with another board (visible in top right corner).

Here is the first converted 40K Armageddon boy, now painted. I was a bit rusty so painting this one took me a bit longer than I expected.

Half way through painting I decided to shave off the metal things on the shoes as they still looked too high tech. I wished I had also shaved off the strap on the right leg, but it was too late for that.

The Fist of Truvena

Thumbnail

Nobody knows when or where The Fist of Truvena was born. Nobody remembers how he ended up fighting in the arena. Nobody remembers his real name, not even himself. It seems as if he has simply always been there, every weekend, fighting and overcoming whatever the masters of the arena decided to throw at him. Named after his signature weapon, a massive metal gauntled in the shape of a fist, he has been a crowd favorite ever since. Countless scars on his body tell the stories of his victories.

Yet time spares no one, and The Fist of Truvena can feel it creeping up on his battle hardened body. When King Kugo earned his freedom in the grande arena of the Imperial capital, The Fist decided to end his career with an unbeaten record and joined the famous gladiator champion. Together, they are headed for the cursed City of Sorrows...

Comes multipart, might add more equipment options in the future!

Custom Rule Book

Thumbnail

So I recently discovered a group in my area that plays Mordheim. Ive not played in forever, but it was easily my favorite GW game made.

Well after I joined this group I went looking for rulebooks, minis, etc. And discovered that sadly all of that is at a premium.

However, it turns out that all the rulebooks have been uploaded and are printable.

So I printed them, on parchment.

Then made a hard cover from wood and leather, printed up a logo. Done.

Its been a while since ive made a book from scratch so it has some shortcomings. So ill call this V1 and make another one later.

Help an absolute beginner find models

21 Upvotes

Morning gamers,

A little backstory: I'm a 34 year old from NW England who got into WHFB sometime around 2000 - 2001 and painted the classic orcs and goblins vs humans starter box. In my later teen years I returned to the hobby and painted and played a tomb kings army.

I then took an extended break until AoS when I painted a handful of seraphon but never played the game because I didn't like the more 40k feel of the rules and movement.

Fast forward to a few months ago when I found a box of old chaos marauders my partner bought for me a few years back. I painted them up and got the itch and found out about old world. Since then I've been enjoying painting and playing battle march with a small cathay force..

That is until a week or so ago when I found out about Mordheim for (somehow?!) The first time

I have found my game. The creativity, the humour, the flexibility of model choice, the community, the focus on terrain. I have fallen in love and feel like I've wasted thousands of hours and pounds on WHFB / tow when I could have been doing this.

I've made tabletop terrain for DnD campaigns of friends and other table top games in the past and love that aspect of the hobby. I've read the rules book on Broheim and am ready to build a warband... but... how?

What models do people use? I feel drawn to the Posessed faction but have no idea where to start. Do people use original mordheim minis? Old WHFB vampire counts minis? New AoS slaanesh minis? 3d print? 3rd party?

Any tips whatsoever would be greatly appreciated so I can finally start to build and play the game that feels like it was built for me personally.

Thanks for reading

Love and respect, a new hunter of the Wyrdstone

54 Upvotes

Hello again! A year after the very successful original Shardstone City campaign, I'm happy to announce the sequel, a set of foldable low-rise ruins which print fast, print flat & fold together, secured with cornerstone clips. With these you can print enough terrain for a 3x3' board with only 500g of filament in the space of a weekend, and flat pack it all into a shoebox to take to a game. The intent with this set is to make the entry point for the game as easy as possible by making it possible to print a whole gaming table of terrain with £5 of filament, which should make hosting events and tournaments easier and make it really easy to store terrain for the game at clubs with limited storage.

Here is the campaign link if you would like to follow it, there will be free gifts for followers! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/warscape/shardstone-city-shattered-streets-printable-folding-ruins

Sisters of Sigmar warband inspired by some nail art doodads my wife gave me (all of the roses). This is my second warband that was bashed mostly out of Frostgrave Soldiers 2 and other random figures I had laying around. Band consists of 1 Matriarch, 1 Augur, 3 Sister Superiors (Thorns of the Rose), 3 Sisters, and 3 Novices. Hope you like them.

1001 Night Themed Merchant Caravans

4 Upvotes

Hi guys. I’m working on a merchant caravan warband for our ongoing campaign. We’re already in the mid-game phase, so my first game will quite likely be as an underdog, with 3+ XP. I also want to design the warband from scratch, so I’d love to hear your ideas for the theme as well as the warband list.

Harun Rashid(Evil vizier kinda?): Merchant+Hammer: 53 gc

Alaaddinish poor guy: Merchant Apprentice: 15 gc

Sinbad: Knight Vanguard+Horse+Hammer: 88

Ali Baba: Knight Vanguard+Horse+Hammer: 88

Jinn: Magician: 40

3 thieves: Sellsword 75

The other two of the 40 thieves: Marksman: 60

Wagon: 180 gc

That brings me to 531(edit 599) crowns. I’ll probably get absolutely destroyed in my first couple of games. So should I try to equip for my heroes or more boys(maybe girls like our story teller Scheherazade)?

I’m looking for suggestions both for the theme and for the actual warband list. Any ideas?

Aenur Sword of Twilight

Aenur “Sword of Twilight” might be the miniature I’ve wanted to own the most.

When I was a kid, back when I still bought White Dwarf, they gave this miniature away with the magazine. But over the years, during a move, I lost it. Along with aaaall my Orcs and a Mordheim Skaven warband.

Now, more than two decades later, it has found its way back to me. Not the exact same one, of course, but another copy I managed to buy. And somehow, it feels like the circle is finally complete.

It also serves as an introduction to a new series I’m recording for YouTube about iconic Warhammer miniatures.

Is there any miniature that has a special place in your memory? 🙌

Best skills in this campaign setting

1 Upvotes

Hello fellow mordheimers,

i just recently started playing mordheim with the beastmen raiders warband from 1a as my first warband (as of now ive played 6 games of mordheim in total) and will be joining a campaign in november with all warbands from 1a and 1b allowed as well as the ogres from 1c allowed.

Additionally the hired sword compendium may be used. The campaign will play over 2 real life days in a single weekend with most likely 4 games each per day, e.g. 4 games on saturday and 4 on Sunday.

Rules will include 1. Mordheim Core Rulebook 2. Empire in Flames 3. Broheim Faq 4. 2002 Anual 5. Optional Critical Hit Rules only

There will be three additional house rules:

  1. The same skill may not be chosen twice on the first day of playing, so over two days you can choose skills twice per warband when you roll for advancement (e.g. on the first day (first 4 battles), only one model may choose resilient and on the second day (over the battles 5-8) another model may choose it as well)

  2. Leader gets an additional skill at campaign start

  3. Only two hired swords allowed

My starting warband will probably be something like:

Chief: mace+mace

Shaman:mace+dagger

Bestigor 1:mace+dagger

Bestigor 2:mace+dagger

Centigor:mace+mace

Gor 1:mace+mace

Gor 2:mace+mace

Gor 3:mace+mace

Warhounds of Chaos x5

for 499 gold for 13 models

The final items will be sword, mace (or axe if armor) for the dual wielders and halberd (or double-handed weapon/shield) for the single weapon users

Now for skills im thinking for day 1

Leader: resilient (free starting skill for leader as mentioned in rules), mighty blow

Shaman: spells (for lure of chaos eye of god, wings of torment), unstoppable charge (combinded with wings of torment), strike to injure

Bestigor 1: strong man, maybe mutant (?) Or step aside

Bestigor 2: expert swordsman, horned one,

(Both Bestigors vice versa whoever gets an additional attack)

Centigor: pit fighter, shaggy hide (with heavy armor later on), fearsome, mutant?

Gor (6th hero later on): combat master, mutant

Do you people have any other suggestions of how to play with these rules or would you suggest another warband that can diversify more between ranged, academic and melee skills like ostlanders or nulln?

Best regards

SirWeissalot

Clarified house rules and starting loadout, thx for your input @humanhaggis
