[Mordheim] Campaign 2015 - Ashes

[HeresyBrush]

Yeaaaaah :D

[Salsa]

Usually these kind of scenarios will makes my name in appear in the list of most bodies lost. But this time around I lucked out with crits. :D

[Meganiikko]

Not to worry! I assure you that my slaves will topple that "most units lost" record!

[Sutenööri]

Breaking news!

You don't have to use the Eye of God spell on yourself, you can cast it to any model within 6". Maybe next time i'll use it on a less important model!

-Juha-

[Meganiikko]

That might for the best, at least for the warband in question. Leaves your leader for me to snipe!

[Varapalmus]

My poor doggy :(

At least now I have an actually decent hero to fill my hero roster, so everything turned all right in the end. Still, goddamn rout tests. Every time I get stuck in combat, I fail it.

Well...next time you will get a 6, take into account!

[Varapalmus]

I'm being lazy tonight!

How about this one for tomorrow? Except that only 7 is 'nothing', and 8-9 is a loot counter, so everyone can get RRRRICH!

[Meganiikko]

If i stuble upon Giant Rat, can i recruit it instead? :3

[Meganiikko]

GAAAAAA GET THEM AWAY FROM ME ;o;

Chaos came, saw skaven, and took out their dining utensils. The brave (and somewhat retarded) engineer took the shot, scored and panged a warpstone-etched bullet into chaos champion's head, taking him out. However, this was not quite enough to discourage the chaos warband, and it appears that S2 T3 slaves make poor roadbumps, even if there are 8 of them. So after gorging themselves with free experience the possessed charged my leader and rest of the "valuable" warband taking out my leader and co. (despite S6 hits from my leader :C ).
Before action:
8 slaves, 3 verminkin, engineer, taskmaster and warlock engineer.
After action: engineer, and 1 slave O.o

Who lived thru the battle?
Leader (who became stupid, has no arms and lost leg), 1 slave and engineer.
D:

Time to reroll

meanwhile: The Tomb Kings became monster powerhouses wtih enough bling to fill 8 rapper's costumes!

[HeresyBrush]

It was also a bad day for Nurgle...two poor and innocent plaguebearers came back to the warm.


(hubble telescope)

[Varapalmus]

The Tomb Kings are indeed RRRICH, baby! No more need to use leaf-gold to cover that bronze breastplate.

I'll be writing a scenario for the next week, from the idea of a game where the goal is to climb up a tower :D

Maybe. Have to check if I can make use of the terrain available for it.

[Meganiikko]

Oh boy.
Are we going to see the Mighty Boot have a-go when someone is dangling off a tower ledge?
My sniper(s) are going to have a field day with dropping people who are climbing the tower!

[HeresyBrush]

I can build my own tower with nurglings B-)

[Meganiikko]

Are we going to see the Folding Fortress in mordheim? A Wizardtower!
(good thing i play skaven, can i bring screaming bell?)

[Salsa]

Will the scenario include literally kicking others out from to of the tower?

[Varapalmus]

Will the scenario include literally kicking others out from to of the tower?

Of course! After all, just getting the treasure isn't enough, it's important to ensure that nobody else gets close it!

I thought about some kind of an opposed strength test in combat, where instead of rolling to wound you could roll for opposed strength with the target, and the loser would get dropped down a level, or even multiple levels if the roll is lost by a large margin.

Pros: Ogre and Possessed wrestling on a ledge on top of a tower
Cons: Poor skavenslaves with their strength 2

[Meganiikko]

Cons: Poor skavenslaves with their strength 2

I shall take augmented rat ogre and augment him with Metal Body 2 times, and give him mobile weapons platform with 2 flails for 5 S9 attacks!
(well, he moves only 1" per turn and can't run and goes berserk on D6 roll of 1 or 2 BUT STILL)

No need to worry about slaves, they are sickly creatures, lowest rabble of the clan. Weakest and smallest members of the clan, hauled only to perform the most menial and/or dangerous tasks without any care about their survival (like suicide bombing...).
It is only appropriate that they get mowed aside.

[Varapalmus]

Alright, here we go then. A bit late, sorry.

The Dark Tower
In the ruins of Mordheim, rumormongers whisper of a tower that sprung in the middle of the city overnight. Hidden by smog and darkness, it hasn't garnered a great amount of attention, but as with anything valuable it's only a matter of time until large amounts of warbands will gather to investigate. Time is of the essence, for the first denizens of the city have already arrived to pillage it. But why do they feel so uneasy in the towers presence...?

Terrain
Using available terrain, create a large tower in the middle of the table, consisting of three to five levels, making the tower as large as possible. On top of the tower, place a reasonably sized platform. Otherwise, set up terrain as normal.

Special Rule
Dangerous Climb: Climbing the tower is precarious business, and many combatants are more than capable of taking advantage of a foes dangerous position. While fighting on any of the levels in the tower, any of the combatants may attempt to push their opponent instead of rolling to wound, after rolling to hit. To do this, both sides roll a dice and add their fighting models strength. Whoever's total is less is pushed one level down, taking D3 hits on S3, with no armor saves allowed. Heavy armor protects against many things, but gravity is not one of them!

In a combat with multiple models capable of striking one opponent, their owner may elect for all of them to attempt to push the opponent down. In this case, roll opposed strength as normal, with a +1 to the die roll for every model in the combat after the first one.

If a combatant rolls a 1, they count as having drawn the contest even if they would win it anyway. If they lose, they are violently thrown down the tower, falling right back to the bottom, taking D3 S3 hits, with +1 to both values for every level fallen down. If both sides roll 1, the combatants have become entangled and both fall down a level!

Set-up
As usual


Starting the Game
Business as usual!


Ending the Game
The game automatically ends after the 8th round. The winner of the game is the warband which has the most models on the highest level of the tower.

The winner will then gleam the tower of its secrets. Roll a d6 on the following chart to find out what they manage to find before the tower starts rumbling ominously and the warband is forced to beat a hasty escape as the contraption crumbles to the ground.
1: A holy/unholy relic
2: D3 pieces of Wyrdstone
3: Wizardly robes (Cathayan silk clothes)
4: A casket of potions (Bugmans Ale)
5: A magical blade (Sword that grants +1 WS to the user, and -1 to enemy armorsaves)
6: Tome of Magic/Holy Tome

In addition, each player can choose a hero in their warband that set foot in the tower, and takes a leadership test on their own LD value. If they pass, they can choose to either learn a skill, or a spell from the Lesser Magic spell list, or any spell list available to them if the model can already cast spells. If the test is failed, they still gain the benefit, but must also roll on the Serious Injury table and miss the next game. Although the tower has fallen, it has left a lasting mark on those who set foot in it.

Experience
+1 for every enemy model taken out of action
+1 for surviving the game
+1 for winning the game
+1 for falling down a level, taking a wound and surviving.

[Meganiikko]

So, to summarize the game:

The nurglite band and salsa's rangers clashed in brawl of epic proportions. Nurglite band won, but not without cost: A lot of nurglins died as well as heros. In the end, however, Nurgle proved his grip in the mortal plane strong and Salsa choose to rout with majority of his warband taken out of action. It was not without victories for salsa tho, as cries of victory could be heard across the gaming room from salsa.
Still, Nurgle's Rot infected one of Salsa's heroes, whom also became Stupid because of the injuries. And we all know that is not a good combination of traits...

After the brawl, the nurglins tried to climb the tower. Plot twist: all failed.

Meanwhile, skaven came, took out tent, sticks and marshmallows and started to snipe. Taking down one of varapalmus's sorcerers and few guys as well, the snipers took their toll and went out with a bang: 2 master shot blackpowder 6's on varapalmus's sorcerers. Still, rolling 1's and 2's on injury rolls so i suppose the sorcerers have to stich eachother back togeter after rolling around stunned or knocked down the entire game.
S7 overcharged systems megaflailing warp-engineer went ahead and charged the tomb skeletons and killed one: However it seems that sending an expensive guy all alone against enemy horde is bad idea and warp-engineer got taken down. Still, he got new skill!

Tomb kings climbed the tower, kicked off few skaven slaves and a nurlglin. heresy came with his dude to chill in the tower as well, and with the random roll of the die, heresy was the winner!

Wohey!

Next Scenario: Bloodletting!
Come on come all! The Master of the Arena has called warbands from around Mordheim to the Fighting Pit! Come see as the most deadly warbands in the Mordheim fight and brawl and bite for the chance to claim the prizes arena has to offer!
