Today we played three on three game in Mordheim – on one side were allied warbands of Orcs (Alessandro), Skavens (Marian) and Undead (Kuba), on the other side were Averlanders (Maciek), Bretonnians (me) and Dwarf Treasure Hunters (Kuba) warbands.
„After drinking at Happy Gallow close to the city gates three leaders agreed, that together they have better chance to clear merchant district from Chaos minions. Morning was really heavy to the Dwarfs who mixed Bugman Ale, Kislev vodka and Bretonnian brandy, but after all they promised on they beards, so they had to wake up. Three bands walked on empty, ruined streets to find evil minions and wyrdstone.”
Ruined city of Mordheim.Bretonnians…and more Bretonnians.Averlanders.Undeads.Skavens.Some Dwarf slayers waiting for combat and some brush.Undead generally looking for brains.Ghoul who wants to be faster than zombies.Orcs arrived, Averlanders and Dwarf crossbowmen from the tower attempts to stop them.Bretonnian archers ready to climb over ruined wall.They climbed above and started shooting.Brains, brains…Skavens hidden close to old graveyard.Rat Ogre and various members of Skaven and Undead warbands.Averlanders bravely fought with orcs.But orcs were hard fighters.Bretonnians prepare to take down as many enemies as they can. Vampire tried to jump from one building to tower, but failed his initiative test and fall down from high distance (9″).Remnants of Averlanders fled from this district.Fight beetwen slayers and Skavens.Ghoul tried to join fight on the street, but fell down jumping.Orcs run to fight Bretonnians.Surrounded by evil minions remnants of Bretonnians managed to perform tactical retreat.
Summary: – today there were six of us, we should slowly start playing campaing, maybe not next week, but we should be closer and closer. – some of the bands can still be done with actual Games Workshop offer, I had to look on that and probably write about it. – good side losed, as all our bands were broken at the end of this battle.
We played another games in Mordheim. First game was a clash beetwen Dark Elves and Dwarf treasure hunter around Sigmar temple occupied by bandits shooting at closest warband. Seconde game was a struggle of Bretonnians, Dark Elves, Dwarfs and Pirates of Sartosa.
„Hans, I spoted several warbands, coming from differents directions, I can smell Dwarfs, sounds that wine drinkers Bretonnians, roar of something big and maybe Tilean? Karl – let say to everyone to take position and aim crossbows – they will not take us.” a talk beetwen Hans and Karl, Stirland tax collectors
So we played Warhammer in smaller scale again in a row.

Pirates intrested in old graveyard.This time Dwarfs avoiding temple and bandits inside.Dark Elves marksmen on the tower.The rest of the Dark Elves warband.I splited my Bretonnians to look on Dwarfs and Pirates as well.
Summary: – we tried something new, as four players on one table and it was good. We had to train before we start playing campaign. – we know we had to do some terrains for this skirmish, old houses or walls from Bolt Action perform well, but we need more. – I guess I will write some article about how to do warband for Mordheim without selling nerkeys 😉 .
