Mordheim Weekend - Madame Winters Revenge! - UPDATED Pics

Hear ye... ojez... ojez!

Come all, come singular, to witness the fair Milady Winters arriwal in Eisende port, she is sure to bring glamour and festivitas!!!

Brave soldiers, adventurers and gentlemen of fortune, all are sought after in the little fishing town of Eisende, since the arriwal of Milady Winter ship will not only bring wealth and fancy merchandise, it will allso bring chaos and mayhem, violence and battle.
It is rumoured that the fair Lady Winter, captain of the Winters Revenge are here for just that... revenge, on the smugglers of the northen coast. It is whispered that they are gathering in taverns around in the small villages, trying to muster as many bands of soldiers as they can, and they are paying well!


We will have a campaign, starting on noon Friday 29/7 and will continue until the evening on Sunday 31/7. We will set up as many tables as we can, and try to continue to run games simulaniously on all of them, so that no one have to wait (unless they feel like it of course), the tought is that there should be enough terrain to keep all busy. The rules for the campaign are still under discussion, and will be announced later on.
So far most of the various warbands are allowed... as long as they fit in to current date northen coastal Empire. WIth that in mind, no lizardmen and the like. Please try to keep the warbands in the spirit of the warhammer lore. Other than that, we are rather liberal. Only painted and based figures please. I will clarify one thing, our campaing is using the mordheim rules, but we are gaming in the current era of the warhammer world, lets say 2513-2525 or so (ye ye, I know, but I am still stuck in Warhammer RPG first edition :-P).

We will game during the days and then BBQ in our garden in the evenings. Plenty of shops and resturants around where I live (Södermalm in Stockholm, Sweden). By the way, if you like, I am sure we could start on Thursday, let me know if you want to do that.
We have rented the spare appartment (in our house) and will set up tables there. It will also serve as sleeping area for the guys from Gävle. A few guys will sleep in my appartment, where we will also set up tables if needed ( think it will be).
We have run out of sleeping area very fast, but have a few spaces left in the spare appartment. First come and all that, but it will go to far away / out of town guests first hand (as allways).

Please let me know here, and send a PM... or a mail or call me!

You know my Middenheimers will show up - four archers painted since we played... I don't have a clue about this timeline stuff though, so please let me know if it has any bearing on my warband.

Hehe, I am looking forward to be seeing your Middenheimers. I am sure they will be just fine. We are not restricting the warbands all that much, just keep them warhammerish and you will be fine. That said, we allow non-GW models, as you know, but they got to be, as allready mentioned, warhammer compatible in looks and style.

Great initiative!!

I hope theres gonna be ALOT of pictures, battle reports and fluffiness!! Why not making a novel of it?
You got an great introduction right there and it seems that you can write! So i implore you to make an central figure and write!!

Sadly i cant join due to im both under-leveled and under-geared to take on the bad ass end boss that i happens to live with.

Hehe Soulblight, thank you for the suggestion, but I am not all that sure that I would posess the necesary skills, or patience for that matter, to write a novel.
However, where do you live in our fair lands of Sweden? We are, as you might have guessed, a gang living in Stockholm. Well, two gangs now actually since we just hooked up with Folkets Fiende and his band of brothers.

Its a pity to hear that you cant attend, but you are allways welcome to some of our other events in the future.

...four more marksmen painted, and work begun on a hired sword...

Oh man, you are fast! *filled with envy*

Well, i kinda live in the opposite direction. 2 mil south of Malmö. 6 hours drive to your guys. Seems like Stockholm is the place where the shit is happening!

But, seein as I got 15-ish Marienburgers, 4 hired swords and a undead warband coming along on my workbench i suppose i could see if a trip isnt worth the time....

Heja Skåne... I am from Lund my self

Well, I think that Stockholm is so so, loads of players, but... but they sit in their own little gang and dont get organized. Its rather hard to get a club going, but we have sucseeded, so far I might add, but we are slowly growing, slowly getting our agenda filled with gaming and other meetings, wich is super, as far as I am conserned.
We would love to see you up here, and as mentioned earlier, there is space available for sleeping for people like you, that travel far!

*waves hand at your girlfriend... this is NOT the boyfriend you need this weekend... you need to let him go to Stockholm...*

I'll be there. Would be fun to have a new warband finished til then..

I'd like to attend, though as I told you there's a birthday party that clash on the Saturday, maybe it's possible to arrange for both... Or maybe just leave WO on a game or two.
I'd probably take my beastmen, haven't played Mordheim with them in a while, and having to start a new warband for the weekend folketsfiende wouldn't need to be as scared of my monsters compared to my old warband. "You see those tiny ungors? They're WS4, S4, A2. Now guess the stats of my bestigors. "
I have a fair number of alternative models for them as well, with a 3700+ point WFB army to choose from.

Damn, sounds like a great weekend, too bad I gotta write exams during that time... But next meeting, I'll join you

I'm pretty sure the plan is, everyone starts fresh warbands on day 1 and see where the weekend takes 'em. I heartily approve of this approach.

^^ Yes this.

All warbands start fresh, and we will allow playing from Thursday evening I think, depending on when people start to show up. There was a suggestion for this at least, and I would be okay with that.

Okay, so da rulez so far... fresh warbands (bring miniatures for exansion and development), be sensible when choosing warbands, no New World warbands or creatures, when it comes to Cathay, and Araby I suppose, a traveling circus/show/theatre/merchant would be most welcome and expected
We will try to stay true to the rulebooks (expansions etc), but can be open for suggestions when it comes to house rules. Feel free to write your suggestions here, or PM or send me a email. The phone is also a valid mean for communications ;-)
The guys from Gävle have rather fast and quick gaming method, and I like that much, and will stand back a bit and listen carefully to their suggestions.

Hey Elizar, we would love to host you and any other from Germany (or elsewhere of course)for another weekend like this, and will propably do that in the near future. We will also have organized gaming with a borrowed locale (its a large theatre that we are allowed to use) for this purpose in the later part of autumn or perhaps early winter. Dates to be expected soonish. That event will be open for different games like: Mordheim, WHFB, 40K, LotHS, Cutlass!, Pulp, Dark Future, Spacehulk and a few others.

Our group has a few. Half-price on armour is easy, but must be decided on before start of course, so people can plan for it when they make their warband.

Our Parry rule works well too, and can be discussed before or during the weekend. The problem with the old Parry rule is that it punish warriors with good WS and rewards those with bad WS which is counter-intuitive. Our new rule is that if you parry something the attacker has to reroll a successful "to hit" roll. Very simple.

Also, it should be stated before whether you choose your sorcerer's first spell or if you have to roll for it on the 29th.

Thats the spirit, keep the suggestions coming, I am sure this can only lead to some good outcome in the form of devoloped rules and game play!

Do I understand correctly that it wouldn't impair too much on the gaming if I sneak off to a birthday party on the Saturday evening?

Aw man.... I wish I had the money... I would love to attend another meeting, specially now that I got my full gamingspirit back! but Stockholm is not around the corner... nor cheap... but keep us posted for future events, for I would love to attend one out there! - or maybe someone should host a meeting in Germany so all of europe would be equally far away?

Hehe, Germany sounds like a good idea. Too bad I'll move to Madrid soon

But Ez, we should definitely check out some other meetings too, now that most people who got to know us together won't come anymore

Middenheimers all done! Got sidetracked for a couple of days painting Sisters of Battle tanks, but now my warband for the weekend is based.

Tintin, since you're the head organizer, maybe you should try to decide any house rules. Also, I hope, like mrtn, that it's alright to skip one or two rounds during saturday (Electrelane are playing that evening, and I really want to catch that concert...).

You are welcome to come and play, eat, drink coffee and what ever you feel like, its more about getting together, have some gaming and socialise!

Give me a call if there is anything you are wondering about.

Looks like a small gang will show up, I think its about 12-15 persons that have said that they would come and participate or just socialise a bit

Tom's Booring Mordheim Forum and Lead Adventure Club joint venture I love this

I plan on attending in spirit...this will account for any creepy feelings you may have over the weekend.
