Mordheim Campaigns: Tips and How to Run Them 

It is remarkable how little input it takes from the player to actually create a story around the warband.

16 players! That sounds like a crazy good time. I always love me a good narrative campaign. Thanks for watching.

The thing about fighting in Mordheim is that each day is a new foray into the city. Unless you are absolutely suicidal you don’t stay in the city overnight so when you are “taking territories” you could be said to be staking your claim and saying this is my turf for wyrdstone hunting. So there is no reason to be limited to only fighting people near you as each day you could visit a totally different part of the city. When you are playing an army level campaign across a map of the old world then thematically it may not make sense for an army to fight one round in tilea and the next in Kislev but Mordheim is such a smaller scale then there’s no reason you can’t use a different gate each day and explore disparate parts of the city.

When we did our map campaign, we picked a target location in order of highest to lowest WR. This represents a larger warband being less agile than a small one. Then, if two players pick the same location, they can choose whether or not they want a guaranteed fight with one another. All other players who are not having a guaranteed fight in their location are assigned opponents randomly. So, even if you pick a spot to travel, there is no guarantee that you will fight there. This represents Mordheim being a huge city that is impossible to map accurately, and warbands could get lost very easily.

Sounds like a blast! I haven't played dwarfs before but I recently finished a Chaos Dwarf warband to run as Sons of Hashut. I hope to make a video on them once I have played a few games with them. Thanks for watching!

Testing begins this week!

Thanks. It was hand made from XPS foam and balsa wood by a player in our group.

In my experience there really isn't a limit, if any particular warband starts to pull away from the pack you can have a couple of weaker warbands gang up on them or put them in a scenario where they get ambushed with their warband spread thinly across a large area. In my current campaign (with 16 warbands split into 4 alliances/factions) we have those with the lowest warband ratings pick their opponent each round, and they can opt for multiplayer if they wish to take advantage of the existing faction alliance or making a temporary one to take on a common enemy. We're just over 6 months into this campaign and it's likely to carry through for at least 18 months.

Anywhere from 6 to 8 games is more than enough to see decent progress. We recently tried a 10 game limited campaign with 6 players using the Mordheim Map, and we felt a little burnt out playing the same warbands for 10 games straight.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

No, thank you!

Yes, hopefully!

If it is the scenarios for my narrative campaign you are looking for, I haven't published them yet. I have the first 10 pages of the guide published, which can be found at the link in the description. I will upload a new doc with the scenarios after they have been tested.

@@GetTabled looking forward to your campaign. We‘re playing a mix of map and narrative campaign. On the quest for „Die Klinge der Ostmark“.

That sounds interesting! @@marcbohlen7105

Yes I have only uploaded the first 10 pages, as the scenarios are still being tested and I am making edits. I will put out a video and update the document once I am finished with testing and editing.

You could determine the winner by figuring out who had the most wins, who has the most gold in the bank, or who has the most wyrdstone at the end. Since you are already in the campaign, I would say the winner is the player who has won the most matches. Or you could have a multiplayer battle at the end to determine a winner.

@@GetTabled I am thinking to adopt the last one you said.

@@massimilianoausili6666 Sounds good to me. In my campaigns, we never make a big deal about deciding who the winner is. At the end of a campaign we usually like to share stuff about what our warbands did really well or crazy things that happened to them. The story is more important than the ending.

Thank you! You can translate it, yes. However, I would wait until the full document is complete, because I may need to rewrite things as I test the campaign.

@@GetTabled Nice. Let me know when you sre ready.

@@HernoJP Hey I have updated the campaign documents. You can check the link in the description. They may be altered in the future again, but for right now they are ready for people to start playing.

​@@GetTabled Thank you very much, beautiful work

There is a discord server for our Southern California group as well as a server for Mordheim in general. I could send a link to one or both if you'd like.
