Mordheim | Making My Table for Warhammer: The Old World Themed Mordheim 

I love both of these ideas.

That’s a really good name, also a name for some ECW rules I think.

@@MiniatureRealms it was also a tribute to the ECW system! I used to run tt battles at 15mm at key plot points

That is a great reference!

Like that a lot, could just make it Forsake Inn, I’ll add it to the poll.

What an awesome list thank you.

😆 Some great ideas, thank you.

Thank you 😊

Thank you very much 😊

Thank you. I might have to add a well, that would look good. It has a gallows, couldn’t resist that.

Thank you Paul 😊

Very good, I’ll add it to the poll 🙂

Thank you, love the Dragonlance reference, I’ll add the name to the poll 🙂

Thank you 😊

Like it, will add it to the poll 🙂

Very good, I’ll add it to the list for the poll 🙂

Thank you 😊

Thank you 🙂. I’m going to be setting most my games there I think, so I think I’ll be doing more. It will be quite generic I think, old lore seems to suggest that the lands cover most types for swamp to almost desert in the south, wastelands and grasslands as well.

Thank you. Definitely planning some scatter terrain, I think it’s needed, and it would really add character. Love the idea of the stocks as well.

Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊

Excellent one, thank you.

Thank you, and that’s amazing, I’d love to see/hear more about it.

Thank you 😊

Thank you, I’ll add it to the list for the poll 🙂

Thank you 😊

Like it, thank you. Will add it to the poll.

Thank you 😊

Thank you, that’s really kind 😊

Thank you 😊

Like that name, will add it to the poll. I’m big fan of Rosemary & Co, been using them for years, I wasn’t surprised when I found out they made Artis Opus.

Brilliant, I’ll add it to the poll.

Thank you 🙂

Thanks mate 😊

Thank you, and glad you enjoyed the video as well. Like that name, will add it to the list for the poll.

Not too late at all, like it, I’ll add it to the list for the poll.

Thank you, and you’re probably right. It’s meant more as part of a small estuary off the Black Gulf, so should definitely be more murky.

Thank you 🙂

Love Jabberwocky, wonderfully dark, very early Warhammer feel to it. I’ll add that name in the mix. Scatter terrain is a great idea, definitely need some of that. I do want to add a ruined wall at some stage as well, will be very hand for siege games.

Thank you 😊, love the name too, I’ll add it to the poll.

I think they’ve said that TOW will be based late in The Time of the Three Emperors, in the years leading up to the Seige of Praag, which was 2301 I think? So you’re in that large time period, but I think it looks like it might be quite a bit after 1999. My planned campaign can be flexible anyway, it’s the location that’s more important. Good news on the WHW front, that was what I expected of in honest, but didn’t want to take the the risk of loads of 3d printed stuff. I love Rosemary & Co, been using them for years now, wasn’t surprised when I found out they made artist opus. They have started doing the drybrushes now as well, I just got 6 for £20 on Amazon and thought I’d give them a go. The ones I got are called FuuMuui, three sizes, two of each. The larger two are very good and compare well to Artist Opus/Rosemary, the smallest doesn’t hold shape as well, so I will likely restock my Artist opus one from Rosemary & Co.

Thank you Mike you’re very kind as always 😊

Thank you. I’m definitely going to be adding a ruined wall (I need that for siege games as well), as well as some lean to buildings, scatter terrain. Planning to maybe add a building or two that is under construction, as that might help with the levels, the whole point of the setting for my campaign is that it’s not ruined, it’s not Mordheim etc. I’ve been directed to Empire in Flames as well, as that’s obviously rules for wilderness, and a different kind of ‘Mordheim’ game.

Thank you Frederik 🙂

I’m glad you’re inspired, those would definitely be perfect to accompany a Cities army.

Thank you 😊

Thank you 🙂

Thank you 🙂

I’m definitely tempted to add more walls and towers, good tip on the towers.

@@MiniatureRealms Back in the day people bought one set to start but the word to those who knew was buy two. You can do so much more and have enough towers to make corner and side towers enough for many shapes of fortress. The most useful is similar to what you have, and L shape wall sectioning off a portion of the 6'x4' for a siege assault battle. But you cant make that and have the basic square castle with the same towers. Also look for the following Tabletop Workshop Castle ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UFEuVGPXFIw.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vSyL4jH8pqU.html - You will need to extend the tower doors, keep them narrow for defence purposes but make them a tad taller. You will have plenty of spare doors to do this, chop two to make one. Zvezda Medieval Castle/Stone Fortress ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cdaQrSETBV8.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_JEs3QAAVFY.html - Shop around, try to get the advanced castle if you can, it has extensions which are useful. It is listed as 1/72 scale, it isn't, only the doors are that scale. It is 28mm but needs new doors. Zvezda also do wooden castles, a Russian d and a roman one, both also work for 28mm. If you buy multiple sets you can easily make it modular for RPG's and you should ignore Wargames illustrated advice to glue it. All these sets are available with a careful search, The Zvezda sets are more easily bought if you can plug into French or German ebay, I paid far less going there. Tabletop workshop sets are best available from the UK. I could say where but I don't know if I can post trade links.

😆

It’s a very good idea, one that enough people have mentioned that I think it might have to happen. I was planning on adding one for siege games anyway.

Thank you 🙂. Like the name, I’ll be adding that to the list for the poll.

Thank you very much for saying so 😊

Thank you very much 😊

Thank you Jordan, we need to plan on that gaming day at WHW now.

Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊

Thank you. Yes I think I might, having done the mat for this, I’m tempted to do a 6x4 for my Old World Games that sort of matches.

I really hope they do, I’d argue they need few suitable pieces of terrain available, AOS doesn’t have anything to ‘steal’ these days.

Thank you 🙂

Oooh I like that idea, may go back and give that a try.

Thank you, some really excellent advice there as well. I was definitely conscious of lack of the some of the vertically of the board, but also wanted to keep the ‘setting’ on theme, but you’ve definitely given me some ideas. Fields are a great idea, and I’ve got plenty of those knocking about ready just to add. Also scatter terrain, I’m building a list of bits now. Another wall section to build as collapsed is already on my shopping list, but I also really like your sewer idea, and that should be very easy to add. Thank you again.

Thank you Dale 😊

Thank you 😊

Thank you Andy, love the name too, I’ll add that in the mix and the poll I think.

Thank you, that’s very kind 😊

Cheers Damian. 😊

pretty sure active Ents can do more work than Huorns rofl

Thank you very much 😊. Like those names, I’ll be adding them to the poll.

I really like that, I’ll add that to the list for the poll.

Thank you very much 😊

Thanks mate 🙂, I’m looking forward to 14:00 to see what we get.

Thank you 😊. I like the name, will add it to the poll.

Thank you, that’s a great name too, I’ll add it to the poll.

Thank you. Oh dear, that doesn’t sound good, was that recently?

@@MiniatureRealmslast year! They said only Official GW terrain

That’s fair enough I guess. They had no issues with this when I took them t thankfully, but I guess it’s made from GW kits.

Thank you 😊

That hadn’t occurred to me actually, great idea.

Thank you

Thank you 😊, like the name, adding it to the list for the poll.

Cheers mate. I’ll definitely be adding some scatter terrain, and maybe a Well 😆. The Stoned Troll will be added to the poll.

Thank you Marcus, really glad you like it. Love the name as well, I’ll add it to the list for the poll. 🙂

Thank you 😊

Like that a lot 🙂

Thank you Martyn 🙂. I definitely aim to bring it up to WHW, just need to organise times and date, sadly might not be till the new year. I agree on lack of minis, I think it’s because my Warbands aren’t finished yet, but I probably should have used some of my Bretonnians for the pictures.

Thank you. Odd your the second person to mention the chimney’s in as many minutes, must admit it didn’t spring to mind at all, but now you’ve mentioned it, odd they’re not in the design (though I guess the design was copied from The Hobbit films, so not a GW thing).

Thank you 😊 Love the name, I’ll definitely add it to the poll 🙂

Thank you Don, I hope you’re keeping well. I had loads of fun with this, looking forward to getting my first warband done. Good idea on the wagons and carts, I definitely need some scatter terrain. I’ll add The Lucky Duck to the poll.

Sorry 😬😅

@MiniatureRealms cheers, It went to a good home. Here's to hoping we both find that Fortified Manor one day.

@MikePawlak Hopefully they will bring it back and drive those crazy prices down. If only I hadn’t sold mine 🙄

That’s a great idea using the Gondor terrain. I’m going to be leaning into the ‘Empire in Flames’ rules for the narrative here, so much of it is sneaking about in the town and it’s surroundings with the buildings inhabited rather than ruins, but I will add a couple that are playable.

I am magnetizing the terrain - partially to create multiple options and have a « flatter » packing. For the more medieval feeling I am looking for different options.

Thank you. I agree on the scatter terrain, definitely something that’s needed, and a breached wall would be great for the reasons you’ve said, and siege games. Love the name, will add it to the poll.

Thank you 🙂. The lean-to buildings are a great idea, thank you. Love that name as well, will add it to the poll.

Thank you 😊, and that’s a really great name too.

Thank you 🙂 I’m thinking of expanding the town on another table, for that I’ll use 3d printed stuff, there’s so much good stuff about.

Like it!

Like it, I’ll add it to the poll 🙂

Thanks mate. The reveals today were very good, can wait until next year.

Very good 🙂

@@MiniatureRealms happy tp help and fun fact the merry ork name is actually the name of the first Inn I designed in a game

Thank you. I’ve been collecting those together as well, along with some other bits for conversions, video coming in a couple of weeks I predict. Love the name, I’ll add it to the poll.

Love the name, I’ll add it to the list. Good call on the chimney’s, must admit it didn’t spring to mind at all, but now you’ve mentioned it, odd they’re not in the design (though I guess the design was copied from The Hobbit films, so not a GW thing).

Some of those are amazing, thank you. I’ll likely pick my favourite from that list and add it to a poll to choose the winner.

Very good, I’ll add it to list for the poll 🙂

Like it, I’ll add it to the list 🙂
