Could anyone provide me with a list of which Mordheim articles were in Fanatic Magazine 5 to 10 ? Better still , does anyone know where I could download them ? I already have The Moot article from another thread on here but I'd really like to find the rest as I missed out on these issues back in the day. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help .

You can download all of them from the Mordheim Yahoo group and from Svenn's Mordheim blog I believe. They are the articles for the various provinces of the Empire, the Pit FIghter rules (which don't have much to do with Mordheim really) and that one Mordheim campaign wrap-up called Thy Soul to Take or something. Interesting rules (other than the Halfling Thief from the Moot rules) are the Elf Mage and the Kislev Ranger. All in all it really isn't that much.
I'm having trouble joining the Yahoo group at the moment. Downloaded some of the stuff from Svenn etc. but can anyone just post a list of what was in each issue from 5 onwards? I've got limited downloads per month so I'm trying to limit them to specific articles. thanks in advance Cornelius

Thomas, if you could email them that would be fantastic thanks. I already have the articles on Ostermark, Averland, Reikland and The Moot and the two Pit Fighter articles, but would really like to fill the gaps so I've got all the Games Workshop articles (finally tracked down the last two Town Cryers! ). I'll PM you with ny email address. Thanks again.

Im also after a list of whats in the Fanatic mags. I run a GCN club so thought some of them mau have more useful things than just certain rules. I do remember a Dwarf article but cant remember which one it was in.
Is there a list anywhere online? Been looking for ages and cant find anything
I've seen this question asked in many places by various people, myself included, but it never seems to be answered. You would think someone out there would have a complete set of Fanatic mags and be willing to post a list of Mordheim articles in them, but apparently not . However all is not lost, after a bit of rooting round the net and the first four issues (the only ones I picked up), I think I have a list of everything that was in the mag up to issue 9. I don't know if a tenth issue was published, but I dont think so.
Issue 1- League of Ostermark Pit Fighter part 1 Issue 2- Taking it to the Streets Issue 3- Pit Fighter part 2 Painting Horses The Province of Averland Issue 4- After The Cataclysm The Province of Reikland Issue 5- It's A Kind of Magic (Elf Mage & Elf spells) Issue 6- From Across the Steppes (Kislev Ranger) Issue 7- The Moot (Province and Halfling Thief) Issue 8- Dwarf Treasure Hunter Issue 9- Tales of Stirland Issue 10- Rules Review and Q & A Axes All Areas (Dwarf tactics)
Hope this helps, if anyone Knows of an article I've missed, please let me know.

#80 - The Merchants Square - Scenario #86 - Spawn Hunting - Scenario #88 - Extended Campaign Rules - Ideas for Campaigns #89 - Hired Sword Competion Winner and Runners Up. #91 - Nemesis Crown - Supplement/Alternative Setting #94 - New Hired Swords #96 - Relics of the Crusades - Alternative Setting/Campaign #97 - Relics of the Crusades - Part 2 #98 - A Knife In the Back! - Scenario.
The big question is then whats missing between 10 and 79? Were any articles published for Mordheim? If so are some of these the articles hosted on tabletopgeeks.com? (Eg: The great Library & raven barracks scenarios).

The "Fanatic Magazine" was a printed paper magazine that got pulled after ten or eleven issues. The Mordheim articles that were included in it are listed above by cornelius. These were later made available by GW as PDF in the original layout.
"Fanatic Online" was an "online ezine" (that's what they called it), but it was actually just a somewhat regular newletter on the Specialist Games site that contained articles for the Specialist Games range. These articles were mainly fan-produced stuff that was poorly layouted. The originial articles from Fanatic Magazine were released in some issues of the Fanatic Online "ezine".
Well you know what they say, if you want something done properly, do it yourself . A complete (to the best of my knowledge) list of all the Mordheim articles in Fanatic Online. Any followed with an asterisk * are articles that were published elsewhere first (TC / WD / FM). FO 01- Avicenna's Warband FO 03- The Moot * FO 05- It's a Kind of Magic * - Dwarf Treasure Hunter * FO 06- From Across the Steppes * FO 10- Tales of Stirland * FO 11- Axes All Areas (Dwarf tactics) FO 15- The Ones That (Almost) Got Away FO 16- Raining Fishe FO 17- Let the Daemon Have the Last Laugh FO 19- League of Ostermark * FO 22- Wyrdstone Inventor FO 25- Fallen Sister FO 27- Ten Players, One Campaign FO 29- Scourge of the Rat (tournament report) FO 31- Night of the Dead FO 31- Cutthroat's Den * FO 32- Clan Pestilens (corrected) * FO 33- Outlaws of Stirwood Forest * FO 38- The Rescue FO 44- The Gunpowder Plot FO 45- Dwarf Slayer Pirate FO 46- The Great Library FO 49- The Cursed Hillman FO 51- Thy Soul to Keep pt. 1 * FO 54- The Middle Bridge FO 56- Thy Soul to Keep pt. 2 * FO 59- The Raven Barracks FO 60- Thy Soul to Keep pt. 3 * FO 62- Revenge Is Eternal * FO 65- Shiver Me Timbers * FO 66- Encampments pt. 1 * FO 68- Mordheim Architecture pt. 1 * FO 69- Mordheim Architecture pt. 2 * FO 70- Mordheim Architecture pt. 3 * FO 73- Race to the Stash FO 74- Camp Assault FO 75- Writing on the Wall FO 77- The West Gatehouse FO 79- The Haunted Wreck
I'm pretty sure all of these are archived on tabletopgeeks, Sven's Mordheim Blog or the Yahoo Group. Job Done !
The last USA printed Fanatic magazine was # 10 For Mordheim all it had was: A rules review - printed corrections and a small Q & A section Axes All Areas - a Dwarf warband comentary. If you don't have it you didn't miss much.

Yay! Fame at last (of sorts ). In addition I think The Ones That (Almost) Got Away was in Fanatic 9 as it has the same border as the other aricles from the mag. If anyone can confirm this I'll add it to the above post to complete the list. Thanks playtable, I'll add your info as well.

Ahh right, that explains a lot, not to mention the noticeable drop in quality on the later 'magazines'. Perhaps we could add the 'Fanatic Online' stuff after the magazines then and get a list of all that stuff together.
Nice one on spending the time to post those things to the list Cornelius!
As far as I know the full magazines were never available. GW later released the artciles as PDF files through the Fanatic Online ezine, but naturally not the other stuff such as ads, forewords etc. I do have scans of a few of htem on my harddrive though, so I guess you can find them somewhere.
I'd also be interested in some of the other game resources that were released in these online mags. The necrommunda stuff and magazines don't seem to be hosted anywhere like town cryer is!
The pdfs of some of the articles are there but not the whole magazines. That's why it took me a while to track them down. I'm toying with updating both lists with where the articles can be found. If you're having trouble finding anything, PM me. If I have the article in question I'll forward it or I can point you in the right direction. ThomasUK sent me a few and that go the ball rolling on tracking the rest down, so I'm quite happy to do the same. That's the point of the forum, right ?

Yeah mate, pass it forward, its only the fans of Mordheim that keep it alive and kicking!
OK, thinking of the time involved, I'm not sure I want to post this but I have all 10 Fanatic magazines. I have no desire to scan every page and post them somewhere but... If someone has a specific request I can try to help. I laso downloaded many of the on-line Fanatic Mordheim scenarios but I do not have any master type listing. Be gentle.
Could you check the contents of issue 9 please? I can edit the list to complete it then. Also, in each issue they had a front/ back page for Town Cryer with the headlines and small ads, I'd love to get hold of these from issue 5 onwards to complete my file. Sad I know, but I'm sure my slightly OCD need for completeness is apparent by now.
