Mordheim - Part 3 - Campaigns & Optional Rules.pdf - Rules - RPG

Ca m pai g ns

Warbands

travel to the City

of the Damned from

all over the Old World.

They come from many races

and for many reasons but

ultimately they must all face the

dangers of the dim alleys and twisting,

winding streets of Mordheim.

Although it is great fun to fight individual battles, part

of the challenge of Mordheim is to build your

warband into a force to be reckoned with. A campaign

gives your warband the chance to gain experience and

new skills, as well as the opportunity to hire extra

warriors as its fame and fortune increases.

starting a campaign

To start a campaign you’ll need at least two players,

preferably three or more. Players may have more than

one warband, but most people prefer to run one at a

time, as this allows them to devote more of their

attention to painting, modelling and playing with

their favourite warband.

You can start a campaign as soon as two players have

recruited their warbands. New players can join the

campaign any time after that. Although the new

warbands will be less experienced

they will soon learn new skills.

Fighting other, more powerful,

warbands will allow them

to develop more

quickly.

playing a campaign game

To start the campaign, the two players select one of

the scenarios to fight (see the Scenarios section). At

the end of each game the players work out how

much experience their warriors have earned and

how much wyrdstone the warband has

collected before returning to its

encampment.

Experience is expressed as Experience points which

Heroes and Henchmen groups receive for surviving

each game. This is covered later in the Experience

section. When a Hero or a group of Henchmen has

sufficient Experience points they receive an advance.

An advance might improve a warrior’s characteristics

profile, adding to his WS, BS, S etc, or he might gain

a special skill such as Mighty Blow or Acrobat.

After each game the warriors collect wyrdstone. This

is recorded on the warband’s roster sheet, and can

later be sold for gold, used for trading, etc. You can

recruit more warriors or buy new weapons from

traders. All this is explained in the Income and

Trading sections, later.

warband rating

Each warband has a warband rating – the

higher the rating the better the warband. The

warband rating is simply the number of warriors in it

multiplied by 5, plus their accumulated experience.

Large creatures such as Rat Ogres are worth 20 points

plus the number of Experience points they have

accumulated.

The warband’s rating changes after each game,

because surviving warriors will gain extra experience,

warriors may have been killed, new ones added, etc.

Hopefully your warband rating will go up, signifying

your increase in power!

post battle sequence

After the battle is over, both players work their way

through the following sequence. You do not have

to work through it all at once (try to do the first

three parts straight after the battle – you may

wish to consider further purchases later) but

any dice rolls must be seen by both players or

a neutral third party.

Campaigns

1 Injuries. Determine the extent of injuries for

each warrior who is out of action at the end of

the game. See the Serious Injuries, on page 118.

2 Allocate experience. Heroes and Henchmen

groups gain experience for surviving battles. See

the Experience and Scenarios sections for details.

3 Roll on the Exploration chart. See the Income

section for details.

4 SellWyrdstone. This can only be done once per

post battle sequence.

5 Check available veterans. Roll to see how much

Experience worth of veterans is available for hire.

You don’t have to commit to hiring any at this

point.

6 Make rarity rolls and buy rare items. Make

rolls for any rare items you intend to buy and pay

for them. These items go into the warband’s

stash.

7 Look for Dramatis Personae. If you want to hire

any.

8 Hire new recruits & buy common items. New

recruits come equipped with their free dagger

and may be bought common items. This is done

in any order and may be done several times. Note

that newly hired recruits cannot buy rare items.

They can, however, be equipped with rare items

if there are any in the warband’s stash in stage 9.

9 Reallocate equipment. Swap equipment

between models as desired (provided they are

eligible to use it).

10 Update your warband rating. You are now

ready to fight again.

death of

a leader

If the leader of the warband is slain, the Hero with the

next highest Leadership value takes command. He

then gains the Leader ability (although he must

continue to use his original Skill list) and can use the

Equipment list available to the leader. If there is more

than one Hero eligible to assume command, the

warrior with the most Experience points becomes the

leader. In the case of a tie roll a D6 to decide the new

leader. Note that you may not hire a new leader for

your warband.

In the case of Undead warbands, the death of the

Vampire means that the warband’s Necromancer must

take over. If the warband doesn’t include one, the

spells that hold the restless dead together unravel,

and the warband collapses into a pile of bones. You

can buy a Vampire after the next game, at which point

the Necromancer will step down (whether he wants

to or not) and lose the Leader skill.

If the leader of a Sisters of Sigmar, Possessed or

Carnival of Chaos warband dies then their successor

will be entitled to learn to use magic in their stead.

The new leader may roll for a prayer/spell from the

appropriate list, instead of rolling on the Advance

table, the first time they are eligible for an advance.

After this they are considered to be a wizard/use

prayers as appropriate for their warband and use the

Advance table as normal.

disbanding warbands

You may disband your old warband at the end of any

game and start again with a new one. All the warriors

in the original warband and any equipment and other

benefits they acquired are lost. You can also dismiss

any warrior in your warband at any time.

death of

a warrior

When a warrior is killed (Hero or Henchman) all his

weapons and equipment are lost. This is very

important, so be clear about it from the start. It is not

possible to reallocate a warrior’s weapons or

equipment once he is dead.

Campaigns

buying new equipment

between games

As explained in the Trading section, warriors may

purchase new equipment and armaments using the

warband’s treasury. Warriors can also swap equipment

between themselves. Alternatively, old equipment can

be hoarded and re-used at a later date.

Weapons and armour purchased, swapped or taken

from storage for your warband must be of an

appropriate type for the warrior, as indicated by the

warband lists. Record any changes to the warrior’s

equipment on

the roster

sheet.

serious injuries

During a game some warriors will be taken out of

action and removed from play. At that time it doesn’t

matter whether the warrior is dead, unconscious,

injured or just playing dead – in game terms he is no

longer capable of fighting in the battle which is all that

matters.

When you are playing a campaign it matters a great

deal what happens to warriors who are taken out of

action ! They might recover completely and be ready

to fight in the next battle, or they might have

sustained injuries. Worst of all they might die, or be so

badly injured that they have to retire.

When a Henchman receives a serious injury this is

treated differently than if a Hero received one (this is

to represent the greater effect that losing a Hero

would have on your warband). Working out the

extent of a Henchman’s injuries is very simple. You

will need to roll on the chart opposite to determine

what has happened to your Hero. The chart covers a

whole range of injuries and random things that might

befall your warrior. Bear in mind that only Heroes

who are taken out of action are obliged to roll on this

chart.

HENCHMEN WITH SERIOUS INJURIES

Henchmen who are out of action at the

end of the battle are removed

permanently from the roster sheet

on a D6 roll of 1-2. They have

either suffered severe injuries,

died of their wounds, or

decided to quit the warband.

On a roll of 3-6 they can fight

in the next battle as normal.

HEROES WITH

SERIOUS INJURIES

After a battle some of

your Heroes may be

taken out of action .

You will need to

determine the extent

of their injuries before

the next game.

To use the Heroes’

Serious Injuries chart

opposite, roll two D6.

The first dice roll

represents ‘tens’ and

the second ‘units’, so

that a roll of 1 and 5

is 15, a roll of 3 and

6 is 36, etc. This type

of dice roll is

referred to as a

‘D66 roll’.

Campaigns

Heroes’ serious injuries chart (roll D66 )

11-15 DEAD

The warrior is dead and his body is abandoned in the

dark alleys of Mordheim, never to be found again. All

the weapons and equipment he carried are lost.

Remove him from the warband’s roster.

16-21 MULTIPLE INJURIES

The warrior is not dead but has suffered a lot of

wounds. Roll D6 times on this table. Re-roll any

‘Dead’, ‘Captured’ and further ‘Multiple Injuries’

results.

22 LEG WOUND

The warrior’s leg is broken. He suffers a -1 Movement

characteristic penalty from now on.

23 ARM WOUND

Roll again: 1 = Severe arm wound. The arm must be

amputated. The warrior may only use a single one-

handed weapon from now on. 2-6 = Light wound.

The warrior must miss the next game.

24 MADNESS

Roll a D6. On a 1-3 the warrior suffers from stupidity;

on 4-6 the warrior suffers from frenzy from now on

(see the Psychology section for details).

25 SMASHED LEG

Roll again: 1 = The warrior may not run any more but

he may still charge. 2-6 = The warrior misses the next

game.

26 CHEST WOUND

The warrior has been badly wounded in the chest. He

recovers but is weakened by the injury so his

Toughness is reduced by -1.

31 BLINDED IN ONE EYE

The warrior survives but loses the sight in one eye;

randomly determine which. A character that loses an

eye has his Ballistic Skill reduced by -1. If the warrior

is subsequently blinded in his remaining good eye he

must retire from the warband.

32 OLD BATTLE WOUND

The warrior survives, but his wound will prevent him

from fighting if you roll a 1 on a D6 at the start of any

battle. Roll at the start of each battle from now on.

33 NERVOUS CONDITION

The warrior’s nervous system has been damaged. His

Initiative is permanently reduced by -1.

34 HAND INJURY

The warrior’s hand is badly injured. His Weapon Skill

is permanently reduced by -1.

35 DEEP WOUND

The warrior has suffered a serious wound and must

miss the next D3 games while he is recovering. He

may do nothing at all while recovering.

36 ROBBED

The warrior manages to escape, but all his weapons,

armour and equipment are lost.

41-55 FULL RECOVERY

The warrior has been knocked unconscious, or

suffers a light wound from which he makes a full

recovery.

56 BITTER ENMITY

The warrior makes a full physical recovery, but is

psychologically scarred by his experience. From now

on the warrior hates the following (roll a D6):

D6 Result

1-3 The individual who caused the injury. If it was

a Henchman, he hates the enemy leader

instead.

4 The leader of the warband that caused the

injury.

5 The entire warband of the warrior responsible

for the injury.

6 All warbands of that type.

61 CAPTURED

The warrior regains consciousness and finds himself

held captive by the other warband.

He may be ransomed at a price set by the captor or

exchanged for one of their warband who is being held

captive.

Captives may be sold to slavers at a price of D6x5 gc.

Undead may kill their captive and gain a new Zombie.

The Possessed may sacrifice the prisoner. The leader

of the warband will gain +1 Experience if they do so.

Captives who are exchanged or ransomed retain all

their weapons, armour and equipment; if captives are

sold, killed or turned to Zombies, their weaponry, etc,

is retained by their captors.

62-63 HARDENED

The warrior survives and becomes inured to the

horrors of Mordheim. From now on he is immune to

fear .

64 HORRIBLE SCARS

The warrior causes fear from now on.

65 SOLD TO THE PITS

The warrior wakes up in the infamous fighting pits of

Cutthroat’s Haven and must fight against a Pit Fighter.

See the Hired Swords section for full rules for Pit

Fighters.

Roll to see which side charges, and fight the battle as

normal. If the warrior loses, roll to see whether he is

dead or injured (ie, a D66 roll of 11-35). If he is not

dead, he is thrown out of the fighting pits without his

armour and weapons and may re-join his warband.

If the warrior wins he gains 50 gc, +2 Experience and

is free to rejoin his warband with all his weapons and

equipment.

66 SURVIVES AGAINST THE ODDS

The warrior survives and rejoins his warband. He

gains +1 Experience.

Campaigns

Ex p e rien c e

As warriors take part in

battles, those who survive

become more experienced,

and improve their battle

skills. This is represented in

campaigns by Experience

points .

Warriors earn Experience

points when they take part in

a battle. Once a warrior has

enough points he gains an

advance . This takes the form of an

increased characteristic or a new skill. Warriors who

survive long enough may progress to become great

Heroes, with many skills that they have picked up

during their long and glorious fighting career.

When warriors are recruited, some of them already

have some experience. The warband lists detail how

many Experience points different warriors begin

with. Record these on your warband roster sheet by

ticking the right number of boxes. No extra advances

are gained for this

experience. It simply

represents the

experience the

warriors have

accumulated

before the

warband is

formed.

earning experience

The Experience points warriors earn depend on the

scenario. Different scenarios have different objectives

and consequently warriors can earn experience in

slightly different ways.

Extra Experience points are always added to the

fighter’s total after the game is over, though it is a

good idea to keep a record of the opponents your

warrior puts out of action during the battle, as this

often affects the experience they gain.

If you look through the scenarios you will notice that

warriors always earn +1 Experience point for

surviving a battle. They earn this even if they are

injured – so long as they live to fight again!

The Scenarios section includes details of how many

Experience points are earned for each scenario.

experience advances

As warriors earn more Experience points they are

entitled to make Advance rolls . The warband roster

sheet shows how much experience a Hero or a

Henchman group must accumulate before making a

further roll. When the accumulated experience

reaches a box that has thick borders, the warrior may

make an Advance roll. The roll(s) must be taken

immediately after the game in which the advance was

earned, while both players are present to witness the

result. Note that Henchmen gain experience as a

group, and consequently all the warriors in one

group gain the same advance.

underdogs

When a warband fights against an enemy warband

with a higher rating, its warriors earn extra

Experience points as shown on the table below. The

higher the opposing warband’s rating the more

points the underdog earns.
