Moin Moin (=Hello) from Northern Germany

Hi,
after lurking for some months - mainly on the blog but ocasionally on this forum - i decided to finally register and post something. I am 35 years old and live in a small town in Northern Germany. I´ve been playing tabletop games for some 18 years now (so i am really an old guy ), Mordheim for 4 years. I´ve played Witchhunters, Possessed and Sisters of Sigmar in campaigns and i´ve tried out Reikländers and Kislevites in one-off games so i am att least somewhat experienced in Mordheim. Border Town Burning (and some questions about it) finally drove me to register.
So, that should be sufficient for my first post .

Welcome to the forum Horatius! It's always great to have experienced players around.

Enjoy your stay!

Welcome to the forum, Horatius!

Feel free to PM me about BTB or just post in the BTB thread on this board.

Maybe you'd also like to share some photos of your warbands..

Cheers,
Chris

Welcome to the forum

WELCOME ABOARD!

I hope you enjioy your stay at our admittedly boring little Mecca of Mordheimish Goodness! Soon you will be innudated with a deluge of photo requests from the Photo Psychos; be strong!

I´ll just have to endure the photo requests
While i do have some photos of my stuff, i´ve never posted them on the net and have no idea how to do it (or the inclination to try to find out how to do it, get an account somewhere to host them etc. etc.). Quite apart from the fact that i am not a very good painter....
If the "Photo Psychos" absolutely HAVE to see some photos they´ll have to look into Letters of the Damned #6, i wrote the battle report and some of the miniatures in the pictures are mine (the sisters of sigmar to be precise).
But since the photos are not too good.....they´ll have to live with the disappointment .

.
C'est la vie, eh?

Wow, so you've been playing on Wolfgang's Mordheim table. That's pretty cool. I did see the table at this year's Tactica in Hamburg, but didn't play because I was more interested in the Legends of the Old West game. How did you manage to use the table?

Cheers from Bremen.

Well, Wolfgang is playing the necrarch vampires you can see in some of the photos and we are playing in Stelle where he lives.
This is the second multiplayer campaign (5 players) we are playing on his Mordheim Table. The possibilities are amazing, i especially like the underground tunnels and the castle. The restricted streets make the multiplayer battles very exciting (backstabbing and coalitions are the rule, not necessary in that order ).
In Mordheim more terrain is always better, the tactical opportunities multiply.

P.S.:
He built a LOTOW town, too.

Awesome! I'm very very jealous! Stelle, hm.. that's close to Hamburg.

I have experienced the same thing. A friend of mine has some huge multi-level buildings. The difference in gameplay is indeed incredible.

Yeah, I've seen that on Gideon-Gelände. It's awesome. Now if he would only build some Cathayan BTB scenery, he he...

You've got Bremen & Hamburg, now all you need is Lubeck, AND you could form The Hanseatic Gaming League. HOW COOL IS THAT!....okay, just a thought.

Well, unfortunately i don´t know any players from Lübeck, or from Rostock or from any other former Hanseatic League City.....
So we´ll have to shelve that admittedly cool idea
And the similarities to Marienburg are simply mind-boggling
