Mordheim Event - Collectibles Unlimited 6/28

[The Commissar]

Hey Guys, my wife and I have come up to Triple Play for events over the years so we thought we would share one of ours with you.

On Saturday June 28th Collectibles Unlimited will be hosting a Mordheim "Campaign in a Day" event. What this entails is a full Mordheim campaign played in one day! Participants will bring a normal starting warband (aka 500 gc's) and play a series of games over the course of the day, leveling up and expanding their warbands between each round. The overall winner will be determined by a final free-for-all style final match with all players on a single board.

Cost and starting time are stilling TBD but I'll make sure to post the info here when it becomes available.

If you have any questions feel free to post here or on the Collectibles Unlimited facebook account and I'll get an answer back to you.

For those of you who are interested there are a few house rules we will be using so please see below:

All Armor (Heavy Armour, Shields, Bucklers, etc, excluding helmets) is reduced in cost by 50%, rounding up.
A warband may have no more then 50% of its models armed with ranged weapons, however a warband may always field 5 models armed with ranged weapons regardless of its model count.
No Mounts may be taken (Warhorses, boars, etc.)
The optional “Saw Bones” rules for healing characters will be used. (Town Cryer #8).
Optional critical hit charts & black powder misfire chart will not be used.

Only the following warbands will be used for the event:

I will probably be down for this, will know better when it gets closer.

Only thing I question is the Bretonnian Knights, and no mounts, I always thought they needed their mounts.

[commissardanno]

I'm interested in participating, but I never played Mordheim

[The Commissar]

Hey Guys, great to hear there is some interest.

Danno: Most of our players had never played the game until about a month ago. My suggestion would be to download the rulebook and give it a try with some guys from the shop. If that won't work we will be running demo games most tuesdays nights at the shop until the event as well as today (sunday the 1st). The rules were posted on the specialist games section of the website for a long time but with its closing you will have to use the links I provided above. If there is some time a few of you wanted to come down and get a demo let me know and I'll see if it fits my schedule.

Wreckers: Bretonnian warbands get just as much access and use out of mounts as any other human warband. Bretonnian warbands can be a bit trickier to play when compared to their mercenary counterparts but are still just as viable without mounts as with. This is especially true when you realize a barded warhorse is in the ballpark of 120GC! The reason we are not allowing mounts as it adds little to the game but requires a number of new rules to learn. With the number of new players playing in the event I tried to remove some of the complexity.

Hopefully we will see you guys and keep the questions coming.

At triple play or Collectables Unlimited.

Alsowould you use as knights on foot proxy wise?

[wreckers603]

The Commissar: thanks for the explination. I have never played against or with the Brettonians in Mordheim, so was not sure. Only seen them in mock battles of fantasy back in 4e. And with out mounts there they seemed to just fold quickly.


commissardanno: I should be at Triple tomorrow night. I dont have any minis for mordheim any more but sure we could work something up with mock minis some how to show you the basics of the game.

[commissardanno]

When tomorrow night?

[wreckers603]

I was hoping to get there around 5, but now just got a call in for an added trip that the boss is not even sure it is going. Once I know I will jump on here and let you know. If I do the trip, probably wont have the chance to make it, if not then 5 is probably about when I would arrive.

[commissardanno]

Thank you for showing me the Mordheim ropes

[wreckers603]

Was able to make it, so if you want I can do a quick walk threw of the stuff that make mordheim mordheim

[commissardanno]

Can't its to late at night now. Sorry about that

[wreckers603]

np, waiting for next weeks runs to be listed, once I know what I am doing when, I will drop it here, maybe we can hook up

Dan, if you're going to be the shop on Thursday June 12th I can run some Mordheim with you. I used to play it quite a lot and it was a great system. I know I'll be rusty, but that's what rulebooks are for =) I'll also bring in my terrain from home as well as models.

[commissardanno]

Wreckers: Sounds like a plan

Jeremy: I can't make it this Thursday or the next unfortunately Thank you for the offer though
