[Mordheim] Campaign 2015 - Ashes

[Meganiikko]

Oh no! All my plans, foiled!

Only Skyre warbands dont get giant rats, or spells to make giant rats :C

(edit: tried linking the warband rules, seems that linking from local computer does not work, time to search for it from the interwebz)

[HeresyBrush]

Nurglings are not animals ¬¬ they have soul and self-conscience :P

[Meganiikko]

Didnt find the original link after quick search, so here's a downlink from my local file thru GDrive.

Clan Skyre Warband

it's not official warband strictly speaking, but do you mind if i give it a spin?
Also noteworthy that no-one in the warband summons dead skavenlings back to fight.
(and it's written by non-native english speaker, noting the sheer amount of spelling mistakes. Idea is somewhat good i think)

[Varapalmus]

Seems alright to me, except for the Warpstone Claws. Re-rolling Strike First GW? Nein.

Lots of powerful choices offset by the fact that most of those choices can blow up in the users face in spectacular manner.

[Meganiikko]

It seems i cannot attend to the game today, go on without me! ...you're already walking? you're supposed to hesitate a bit you know...

[Salsa]

I got the soap! \o/

[Meganiikko]

graz!

[Varapalmus]

No luck for the undead today. Damn mummies, so old and dusty, too slow to hit anything. I could have used that soap to make them a bit more quick and slippery.

[HeresyBrush]

Do we have scenario for tomorrow? :D

[Meganiikko]

no

Your warband has tracked a notorious band of
outlaws to their lair, hoping to turn them in to
the authorities and collect the reward on their
heads. Unfortunately, it appears that another
band of would-be bounty hunters is hot on their
trail as well…

Terrain
Each player takes it in turn to place a piece of
terrain, either a building, set of hedges or walls,
hill, section of forest, section of swamp, river or
stream, or similar item or terrain appropriate for
Empire in Flames. There should be a large
building in the centre of the table to represent
the bandits’ hideout.

Special Rule
The bandits are inside their lair, and they aren’t
real anxious to be caught! At the end of each
game turn, D6 crossbow bolts shoot out of the
doors and windows of the hideout at the nearest
warband members (they’re not particular about
which warbands they shoot at!). Each bolt will be
directed at a different target if possible. Crossbow
bolts are fired with a BS of 3, modified by range
and cover as normal (and, of course, the guys
inside must be able to trace a line of sight from a
door or window to the warband member).
Warband members may not enter the building
until the scenario is over.

Set-up
All players roll a D6 to see who deploys first,
with the player rolling highest choosing a table
edge and setting up first. If there are two
players, then the next player sets up on the
opposite board edge. If there are more than
two players, the remaining players choose sides
and set up their warbands based on the order of
their dice rolls, highest to lowest. A player must
set up his warband within 8" of his table edge,
but not within 4" of a side edge, and not within
10" of another player’s warband. Keep in mind
that more than four players should be
accommodated with a larger battlefield than
normal (see the ‘Chaos in the Streets’ article on
multi-player games in the Mordheim 2002
Annual, page 26).

Starting the Game
Each player rolls a D6 to determine who goes
first. Play proceeds clockwise around the table
(based on where players placed their warbands)
from there.

Ending the Game
The game ends when all warbands but one have
failed their Rout test. Warbands which rout
automatically lose. If one or more warbands have
allied when the other warbands have all routed,
they may choose to share the victory and end the
game, or they may continue the game until one
warband is victorious.
As soon as there is a clear winner, the bandits give
up. They may be turned in to the authorities for
5+1D6 GC per head (roll separately for each
bandit), and there are 6+1 bandits per warband
involved in the game holed up in the hideout (so
if four warbands take part in the game, there are
10 bandits in the hideout). The winning
warband also captures the bandits’ equipment
(6 crossbows, D3 swords, 2D6 daggers, and a
bunch of wormy rations that are worth nothing).

Experience
+1 Survives. If a Hero or Henchman group
survives the battle they gain +1 Experience.
+1 Winning Leader. The leader of the winning
warband(s) gains +1 Experience.
+1 Per Enemy Out of Action. Any Hero earns
+1 Experience for each enemy he puts out of
action.
+1 Scratched by the Bandits. Any Hero
who gets wounded by a bandit crossbow
but not taken out of action gains +1
Experience

urgh, schoolwork continues to pile on like a growing mountain of american football players that keep jumping on the guy with the ball....

Gonna miss this game as well. Oh, what terrors my little cannoneers could have wrought, so many missed opportunities...

[Varapalmus]

Welp. Sorry for missing the game, the trip back from Turku took a bit longer than expected due to a wrong turn to the ass-end of nowhere.

[HeresyBrush]

No prob! At the end three of us were fighting in Mordheim's streets! And Nurgle is spreading his word B-)

So, next week is Easter for some of us (I have to work, so it's not for me...). This mean that maybe we should skip the next weekly game. What do you think?

[Varapalmus]

Welp, that update sure messed todays game up. Oh well, next week is still a thing.

[Salsa]

Dunno how broken forums can prevent playing Mordheim in monday.
Because Juha, Ruben and I played! Rabid Dogs are cool as ever!

[Varapalmus]

Well. God damnit. Since I had no way of communication, I just assumed there wouldn't be a game :(

Should have given Juha my number when I had the chance.

[Meganiikko]

Höö, hei, hoi.

The rats are coming!


So what's the scenario? I'm bringing the skyre warband, by the way. If anyone objects, please do say so.

[HeresyBrush]

You can try to write one if you want. If not, we can use anyone from here: http://www.mordheimer.com/scenarios/s_master_list.htm

[Sutenööri]

Do we wanna give this another go?

Altar of Ultimate power

Game lasts for 6 turns, the game doesn't end when a player routs.

Terrain: Place a small altar on the middle of the table.

Winning the game: The player with the most models within 6" of the altar after 6 turns is the winner.

If your leader is within 6" of the altar at the end of the game it blesses you with it's power. You may make an additional roll on the heroes advancement table, the winner may reroll his/her roll!

+1 Survives: If a Hero or a Henchman group survives the battle they gain +1 Experience.
+1 Winning Leader: The leader of the winning warband gains +1 extra Experience.
+1 Per enemy Out Of Action: Any Hero earns +1 Experience for putting an enemy Out Of Action.

[Meganiikko]

Shure, why nawt.

should we up the turn count to 7, seeing as turns 1-2(3?) will be mainly footslogging around?
