Mordheim hit at the peak of my wargaming. We had a large group playing once a week and the only rule was your models had to be 'correct' by the next time we played. By correct we meant if you changed the guys gear, you had to modify the model to match. Caught an arrow to the face and somehow survived? You'll be modelling an eye patch this week. Everything needed to be done and repainted in the week by the next weekend or you didn't get to play that week. It was crazy hectic and amazing fun.

This was my first miniatures game. Such a special place in my heart. My dad had been diagnosed with liver disease and basically was slowly dying before my eyes, waiting for a transplant. I lost myself in miniatures and Mordheim was my firm favorite as the dark, apocalyptic tone really mirrored my feelings at the time. It was cathartic, almost therapeutic. Tuomas really changed my life with what he created.

What's funny is that I'm not that big into tabletop wargaming (I mean, I love the models, and I want to start painting and all that, but the thought of putting together this huge army just doesn't interest me). But...I *love* Mordheim. It saddens me that it's no longer officially supported, because no other skirmish based game comes *close* to how great Mordheim was. It's factions were just *perfect* for the type of game that it wanted to be (though, they did eventually add Orks and Gobbos in a supplement later).

Regarding those legends, which evolved around certain Charakters or minis, is one thing. Our gaming group even created their own town Cryer (aka mordheim news) to keep everyone in the loop, and with guest articles also gave players a chance to tell the story from their gangs perspective, which was a good laugh everytime.

@PEACEOUTPAT Год назад

Mordheim is the pinnacle of my hobby shop days. We just used mini's from any game, anything that would be appropriate. It was so sick, I remember it so fondly. This local hobbyshop legend named Q who was a small, charismatic and well-spoken bald man, tore through my team of goblins early on, and somehow I proceeded to roll stat buffing save rolls for every one of my dead heroes after that first round, and became a force to be reckoned with for the rest of the campaign thereafter (even though I still did poorly probably because I was tied with the youngest there at like 14 (with my friend jon) going against the strategy of serious adult hobbyists). Seriously great game, props to all those guys. Some amazing memories. I still have my goblins in my closet, easily accessible if I ever manage to find an active game again. I also checked out the mordheim steam game, and though I can't see many people enjoying it, I think anyone like me that played the game when they were younger and just wants another little taste of it, can definitely get some serious enjoyment out of the game. I don't really recommend it for people who don't have the nostalgia though, because something was certainly lost in the translation between the real thing and the digital version.

@Icefear1986 Год назад

Mordheim was a blast. When I was a kid and I was starting with role playing, wargames, etc, the idea of a game where your band could be persistent from one game to the next, changing and evolving was mindblowing. One of the main reasons why I've bought the Cursed City box is beacause it (the setting, the minis..) reminds me of Mordheim a lot. I would absolutely love it if GW launched the game again.

@adgaddas Год назад

Really enjoyed the documentary style with interviews. It was really informative and engaging. More in the future will be greatly appreciated!

@jordanwilliams998 Год назад

This brings me back to when my friends and I played our Mordheim campaigns

@ripsykes Год назад

Mordheim was very accessible, even managed to get a friend to play who could never get into Warhammer due to the financial barriers to entry back when we were 14-15 years old, many great memories!

@Estaran Год назад

Mordheim was my (re-)introduction to the hobby in the early 2000s (after previously only playing Hero Quest as a kid). A co-worker showed me the rules of the game after they had become "free" because GW stopped working on the game. This was around when the new WHF starter box Battle of Skull Pass was introduced, so I went to GW to buy this box solely to use the miniatures for Mordheim. With the "Empire in Flames" expansion, I was even able to use the Orks in Mordheim. One of my most beloved memories was, when my Ork warband (EiF rules) took on a band of Druchii. I only had one crossbow man in the warband, everyone else was melee specced (because.... Orks ;) ). After the game, my one and only crossbow man lost an eye. In the following games of the mini campaign we played, this Ork was the most feared of my whole warband - because he kept critting most of the time, when he shot at a target. Now I am mostly into Frostgrave (go figure ;) ), but Mordheim is still close to my heart. :)

@HappyHungrySleepy23 Год назад

Mordheim is the game I used to lure my friends into the miniatures gaming world. So many stories and good times. Im old now lol

@jroberts8519 Год назад

YES! More Mordheim builds, please! I was crushed when, after Warcry was announced, it wasn't as robust as Mordheim... not Mordheim-like, but very Mordheim-lite. I so want to dig in to the community rules. Does anyone have recommendation to fit my buddy's Nighthaunt in to?

@Bluecho4 Год назад

Broheim, the archive of all things Mordheim, has a fan-made Warband write-up for the "Night Haint", which is more or less what you're looking for. Although it does have a number of mechanical peculiarities, like requiring you to take a flesh-and-blood model (the "Corpse Master", basically a fantasy version of a 40K Null) and a Mortis Engine into battle just to function. You may want to dispense with those parts of the rules, if you lack the models or just don't appreciate having them imposed on what should be just "a ghost warband".

@kreikan Год назад

This is the game that really brought me to the Hobby. My cousin bought the starter box with some friends of his neighbourhood and we bougth some warbands or customized them from regiment boxes (I myself played dwarves treasure hunters and I only bought 1 warrior box 1 engineer and 2 troll slayers ). We had so much fun during two years, almost every weekend building terrains with cardboard and wood and playing campaigns... then one of the guy bought some eldars and we all progressively switched to 40K. So much good memories.

@weshammer Год назад

Im so sad I missed out on Mordheim back in the day. I hope GW brings this game back.

@hobbithubby5076 Год назад

You don’t need GW to bring it back. It’s essentially miniature agnostic, all rules have been released for free online, and easily played. You just need the people willing to play with you.

@binkymoon5238 Год назад

You may like Frostgrave, very similar.

@AzraelThanatos Год назад

@@binkymoon5238 At the moment, Frostgrave tends to be a better option unless there is already a community around you playing it or who had. Frostgrave is one that still has people coming into it there. You also have the square vs round base thing that works against Mordheim in a lot of places now because there aren't many major games that use the square ones...Kings of War and Oathmark are less played than AoS and similar.

@GunnarRolander Год назад

@@AzraelThanatos Base shape doesn't really impact the gameplay of Mordheim, so using square or round (or both! or hex!) isn't really an issue.

@malnic5189 Год назад

I Pray that they do not bring it Back!!! If they did it would be worse then the original, (Example - Adeptus Titanicus) And probably all Armies would not be supported.(Example - Ratskins, Scavies in Necromunda). And if they did they would go after anybody having Miniatures that are based on game. I think it would be worse if GW did rerelease this game all thing considered. And Yes I am a diehard GW Fan. I have Necromunda, Adeptus Titanicus, Aeronautica Imperialis, 40k X 5 armies, Fantasy X 6 Armies, Warmaster X 4 Armies, Advanced Heroquest, Man o' War, and several of their one off Games. And I have been playing since 1986 when Warhammer was first released and Rogue Trader was put in White Dwarf. And I am from US and live in Texas in an area where it is dead, because they have gotten to expensive to keep up with all the changes.

@TimPoultney Год назад

Mordheim is super special -- you hit every reason why so I won't reiterate, but it occupies more of my brain than I'd like to admit. I love the focus on small scale skirmishes and the atmosphere they created around the city itself. Mordheim itself is as much of a character as the player warbands (akin to how Gormengast is a character in that book series). I'd say that's why the terrain making is as huge of a thing as it is to that corner of the hobby. We need a push for more Mordheim content, get more eyes on the damned city!!

@MrMagicPenguin12 Год назад

I havent really heard of Mordheim before. Its so cool to see the history of this, and how it certainly must have influenced tabletop terrain & culture!!

@Senbei01 Год назад

It's a good game but has some real balance issues. Certain factions can field real power-house characters (Possessed, Vampires, etc) and others just have certain pieces of equipment and stats that give them a real advantage (Eshin skaven, iirc). The other factions can really struggle to compete. I'd certainly scavenge some of the rules from Mordheim if I were trying to cobble together a GW-style skirmish game.

@TomekBlacksMyth Год назад

Don't complain about Undead, they don't gain experience so late campaign the henchmen are mild sauce. Yes the vampire is powerful, so is an ogre. Garlic is an item you can buy, which is hilarious and affects the vampire. You either buy strong items. Level up strong heroes. Or meet requirements for Chaos Gifts. Anyone can die, no individual carries the team. If you're an idiot, you're punished. If you play carefully, you'll live to see another day. A good Captain is there to make you rich, not keep you safe. Complaining about imbalance in Mordheim is like complaining about Paper beating Rocks and Scissors beating Paper.

I once ended up with a Zombie armed with a Hochland Long rifle (Thanks to the Necromancer spell that allowed you to recruit enemy casualties... who were allowed to keep using equipment they had)...

@TomekBlacksMyth Год назад

@@Senbei01 Good question. Zombies have BS0 and cannot use weapons. However the spell from the necromancer states they retain their stat's and weapons. The rules allow you to do exactly what happened, and I would say the intent behind the spell also allows you. They purposefully wanted someone's favourite hero to continue on in the afterlife.

This is awesome. Looking forward to this series. Keep up the good work.

regarding accessibility i remember how my brother and me, when we were teenagers, were just cutting out pieces of paper (in the correct size) and write "high elves spearmen" or "chaos knights" on it because we got all the miniatures our money and birthday gifts etc would allow for warhammer fantasy but there just was no way to get anywhere all the stuff we wanted...or paint it...or store it for that matter. casualties we just crossed off from the back to front and we folded the papers if the losses were amounting to a full row. fun times :)

It'd be real nice to see more Mordheim - since I never actually got into playing Warhammer, even though I´ve had several (painted) armies through the years.

Love your content as always Squidmar! I'd enjoy seeing some videos of you making terrain for this game. Even some starter pieces, enough to get someone looking to start this game going. Reading online, sounds like you dont need an actual copy of the game (which is good b/c you're unlikely to find it) so giving some guides to your viewers about how to access / play this game would be something that I think would go a long way!

@khor11 Год назад

Great video. RU-vid need more documentaries like this! Maybe make video like this about Inquisitor? That was one hell of a fun game to play, and even better to paint, since minis where larger (54mm) ;)

I always wanted to see someone do the imperial zoo of the city of mordheim

@josephrigley8974 Год назад

It's probably the perfect GW game, I love Gorkamorka but Mordheim is something really special and it still stands out amongst all It's peers.

Awesome ! Mordheim is my favourite game. Would love to see you painting a warband !!!

@tommyakesson8858 Год назад

Mordheim had so characterful models. The nuns that werent all photomodel pretty like 90% of all female minis are were great. That angry and kinda fat boss nun? *chefs kiss*

Have you ever played the video game Darkest Dungeon? That seems heavily inspired by Mordheim (after watching your video). Great video dude.

@CutePoisonEU Год назад

Unless you've already found this - Malval table by Simple As War was great inspiration for our board, especially his modular table option. Worth googling!

@cheeseninja2002 Год назад

OMG Finally!!! I just finished making my 4x4 board for Mordheim with the 6 starting warbands. /agree - best GW game to date!!! THE SECOND COMING OF SIGMAR!!! BURN THE WITCHES!!!

@UmrAl-Tawil4422 Год назад

great video but you did miss out on Mordheim - Town Cryer for the extra rules and warbands

@felurianmasters4369 Год назад

It was the rpg element. Plain. Simple. Everything else was executed great. Only issue was town crier exclusive rule additions, that made it difficult to complete the library. I fell out of hobbies shortly after obtaining box set, didn't witness its death, but inside me I will live on. A shame this one isn't still active, good on the community for bringing it back into focus.

@armag3ddon Год назад

He doesn't know that HeroQuest is the best game ever made.

@MWSculpts Год назад

Awesome, I remember getting a warband for this, painted a few but never played. Would love to have a go, sounds like a great game ❤️

@user-no2zd8wb6e Год назад

From Russia with love! Thanks, for that amazing video. Yeah, in each wargame club of our country there are fans of Mordheim. Even after 20 years many players make a lot of stuff for Mordheim, or interesting narrative compaigns Be enjoy with that best game from the old Gw developers. Now, greedy marketers of GW will no longer make such product. Now GW has other priorities, specifically - getting money No Warcry - was even close, and serves only as a donor of miniatures for the Great Mordheim!

@RaketHond Год назад

YES. Mordheim was/is imo the best gw game. I would love to see you do a table and warbands. I’d be interested in seeing battle reports as wel!

I love Mortheim! Its really the best game!

@paulbaker5256 Год назад

I would recommend checking out some MDF terrain for your Mordheim gaming table needs. That’s what I’ve done. I’ve started a “Mordheim” campaign, but using the Warcry rules, which has worked pretty well.

@RuthlessMojo Год назад

Heroquest was awesome. I had all the expansions too. Unfortunately I don't still have it which I really regret. They can now fetch a huge price. I do still have Space Crusade and I bought Age of Sigmar The Silver Tower a few years back.

@TheAnscarii Год назад

I player a lot of mordheim when it was release and I love the lore and the development of your warband aspect of the game but rules wise it has some serious flaws and unbalances. On those days it was normal to house rule everything so it wasnt much big of a deal but couldnt give the title of best game because of that. Mordheim disapeared because it was too good to be viable. No business can survive if your costumers pay just 30 dollars and play with that forever.

@dicnar Год назад

Battlefleet Gothic is the best Games Workshop game ever made. period. :D Mordheim is also great.

@meanderingshade Год назад

The only experience I had playing Mordheim was having a bunch of games using the playtest version of the rules printed over several issues of White Dwarf. The core game kind of passed me by as at the time I didn't have a lot of money and was invested more into my 40k and Necromunda and couldn't stretch to another whole game line. I didn't even get around to picking up the Mordheim core book until it was more or less an unsupported game. But even after saying all that, I still get excited by Mordheim. I think that is a testament to how awesome this game actually was/is, the narrative, the themes, the art, you didn't even have to be playing it at the time to see how amazing this game was. It really is a distillation of what really made Warhammer Fantasy what it really was all tied up in this wonderful little line that trailed away from the core games. And I'll say I still love to watch and follow anything Mordheim related that comes up in the hobby community, so I'd really enjoy to see more video content on the game and future projects. Thanks for another awesome video, take care ;)

@YeAuldGrump Год назад

We have a yearly narrative campaign - the first I ran back in 2000, with an optional Pit Fight at a place by the docks known as Piotr's Pit. Every week, players had the option of sending a champion to fight in the pit. A prize, and any side bets to be one. (And, in one case, a paid killing, under the cover of the pit fights - paid for by the Witchhunters, to kill the Sigmarite Sister's champion. The hunters paid the leader of the Undead warband to commit the murder.) What people didn't know was that when enough people died in Piotr's Pit then Piotr would transform into either a Daemon Prince (if he made his roll) or a Chaos Spawn (if he failed his Willpower roll).

@chezratte1357 Год назад

One thing i love about Mordheim is that even a loss can be a win. About 20 years ago at the local GW store they had a Mordheim campaign runing. I joined mid campaign, and first game was against experienced dwarves that had already collected some XP. I got butchered pretty quick, but because my oponent was so strong i gathered so much XP that it was almost better than if i had won the game. A couple of weeks ago i watched you paint a whole army in 24hrs. Grab all those guys that helped, everyone builds and paints a warband for Mordheim and assemble/ build some terrain. Top it off with playing an all out game of mordheim. Haven't done that with Mordheim yet, but we used to play Warhammer Fantasy King of the hill (the tallest building/ hill is place exactly in the center of the board, and after 5 rounds (or when the game ends) the player with the most miniatures (point value) on that center wins.

@FISTFULATHUNDER Год назад

If they re-released this game they would absolutely get my money. Come on GW

@darvidoba6702 Год назад

The phase after the battle ist a important part, it is very fun to throw some dice and look what fortuna brought you. Or if your guy got taken out of action - what his injuries will be was very exciting. Many of my favorite miniatures are from the mordheim-range too.

No actually 1st edition AoS is best

@EdaliaDayCreative Год назад

Interesting to hear about. I was a huge games workshop fan in the 90s but hadn’t heard of it as i stopped by the end of the 90s. Necromunda and warhammer quest were my favourites so this would have been right up my street

@RTL2L Год назад

Thank you for bringing up great memories! Back in the days, we've had great campaigns in our gaming club, several years in a row. Good times.

Great video, loved learning about the game and hearing about the passion of its players.

@EyebrowsGaming Год назад

Once I was playing a Beastmen warband, and after winning a scenario I found a well with treasure at the bottom as a random event. The event required I roll to randomly select a member of my party to climb down the well to retrieve the treasure. It chose my centigor to go down the well, who failied the Initaitive test and got stuck, therefore being unavailable for the next scenario battle, which I lost. Mordheim truly is a beautiful game.

@sarchmaster5779 Год назад

I remember playing Blood Bowl using the "official NAF rules", those were some long games but so much fun.

@dahSweep Год назад

It was briefly mentioned in the video, but I can highly recommend Frostgrave. Everything that people talked about in the video is true about Frostgrave, and the game is still supported. Completely miniature agnostic as well (even though there are official models for the game) which is fantastic for accessibility. It's my current favourite game and if anything in this video sounds appealing to you, I highly recommend it!

@kennethbedwell5188 Год назад

I loved playing Mordheim. My Middenheim Marauders and Khorne's Krushers were the best. I made the Marauders out of Empire Militia miniatures and Khornes Krushers were a combination of Beastmen and Cult of the possessed (who would later dominate the Blood Bowl pitch). We ran a league for years after GW ended their support until 2008. I still play the video game version of Mordheim because it plays so similarly to the original game and I still have to laugh when things don't go my way. Thank you for bringing so many good memories back to life.

@maarten0104 Год назад

Wow! Amazing video. Mordheim had a special place in my gaming heart. Got rid of nearly all of my WHFB and 40K mini’s years ago, but I couldn’t part from my big box of Mordheim scenery, books, town criers, and 8+ warbands….. This video brought back great memories! Thanks!

@jaredsmith4507 Год назад

I want to see you build some awesome Mordheim stuff! I've only played once, but I love the concept of the game, the fan support, and all the cool terrain out there.

@javgoro Год назад

Mordheim! I love the game, and used to play quite a bit back in the day. I do have a couple of warbands I have to still paint, so I may work on that after september :). And I would absolutely LOVE it if you work on a gaming board for Mordheim, for sure.
