| Warband Creator 4.0 | Mordheim | | [01-Jul-2009]
I updated the warband creator last night to do somethings to help keep track of experience and growth of a warband. Boxes now track scenarios survived, warriors taken out of action by heroes and a misc XP box that all tie into the warriors total XP. Several new pages were added. One allows Henchmen Heroes (as a result of that Lads got Talent), A second tracks items collected by the warband either bought, found, sold or just removed from warriors and currently extra inventory. A third page is a log of games played by the warband to track shards and gold found, shards sold, costs and notable events. All 3 pages tie together with the existing pages to track the warbands current gold, XP and warband rating.
I am not working on terrain this week since my kitchen is being tiled and the appliances are in the are I normally work in with the terrain tools stacked on the table I normally paint on.
All weather does not carry 1in blue foam board. I found this out after I arrived the girl on the pone thought I was talking about the big bubble styrofoam. They have a very limited (2 left) supply of pink 2in foam board. |
| Storms last night | Main Page | | [29-Jun-2009]
Lighting hit the ground outside my house and killed the whole neighborhoods phones (at least 4 talked to the guy fixing it), cable (they were there last night) and my TV (its got funny colors now and wont take line input). There is hole in the ground in my yard that wasnt there yesterday. My DSL is still dead. |
| Games Week 2 | Mordheim | | [29-Jun-2009]
They told me this at the last minute so i forgot to take the MARP, and the power went off just as Kris and I finished the first game so the second one was played in the dark by candle and flashlight.
Game 1: Skaven vs Beastmen
Kris decided to play Beastmen. I got hosed on the scenario: Scenario 9 Surprise attack. My Skaven started scattered all over the board, and over half of them not even on it. Luckily Kris cant roll dice so nothing much happened. Kris forgot to move his Centigor and warhound the first round while i tried to consolidate my forces. His Centigor and warhound charged a clubber knocking downing the Centigor on round two. Our leaders got into an ineffectual fight with each other after my Assassin Adept dove off a building onto his Chief. I still didnt have my forces together but luckily all my off board guys kept entering on the same edge, away from his forces. A large battle happened across the board from the still not much happening clubbers vs Centigor and warhound between my Stickers, Shaman and a Black Skaven vs several of his henchmen. Kris ended up taking out a rat (died), a couple of stickers and a clubbers so I voluntarily routed.
Found enough to to rebuild, and buy more rats.
Game 2: Undead vs Sisters
Harry is playing undead. I missed most this game since Kris and I went to go get food. They two of them both went right for the middle of the board with everything tightly packed and slugged it out. It looked like a football match, even more so since Harrys undead are proxied blood bowl undead right now. Ron routed when he got the chance.
Found a local source for 1in and 2in foam board. Allweather Insulation carries it 391-4555. They are right around the corner from Ron's house but only open normal hours weekdays.
Kris's nephew Justin is going to play but we dont know what yet. Next game is Friday about 7pm at Rons house. |

This is from 2 days ago. You dont relize how many electrical and telephone wires are just really in the way until you try and take a picture of a rainbow.

| Finished Terrain | Mordheim | [25-Jun-2009]
Im making an effort this week to finish the pieces of terrain that I started before starting any more. So far:
Ive also finished building and priming the ruined tower. Added the water to the Fountain and one of the slums. I mixed some green food coloring in with the woodland scenics water material for a good mordheim sick green color water. A little leaked on the fountain, Ill clean it up tonight and finish some touch up paint, weeds and permanently fix the fallen statue.

| Photos of 1st Game | Mordheim | | [22-Jun-2009]
Put up the few photos of the 1st Game with its incomplete terrain, Orcs proxied as Skaven, and unpainted Sisters. Also an image of the Small Church terrain Im building. Working on a Mordheim Action Report Form (MARF). not sure if I want to submit it into a database on just a static page to print yet. Probably going to be a database for archive reasons. |
| Short Campaign: 1st Night | Mordheim | | [20-Jun-2009]
I brought several pieces of terrain mostly unfinished, a Wizards Tower, a menhir, a wrecked fountain and 2 broken house blocks. Ron based the Mordheim Blood of the Streets terrain on 1ft foam board with roads drawn in. We ended up with a 3 x 4 board.
Game 1: Sisters vs Skaven
We played the Occupy Scenario. Ron went first and sent most the forces to the East side of the board. I broke the Skaven up into 3 units, East, Center and West. Ron took out one Black Skaven (Zulrat), and a Beater. I took out 4 of Ron's henchmen before he voluntarily routed. Zulrat died afterwards but one of the Beaters got That lads go talent to replace it. Ron lost 3 of the henchmen. I found 4 shards and a Fletcher (2 Shortbows), Ron 5 shards and a Market Hall. Ron replaces some of the Sisters.
Game 2 Sisters vs Proxied Orcs
Riley made and Orcs and Goblins band and proxied it with my Skaven till he has time to build his models. Played Rons Sisters with some replacements.
The Orcs lost the Orc Boss and a Squig on round 2, Sisters lost a Sister. Then the orcs started in on each other, one getting stunned. Down another Squig. More close combat. Round 5 a Sister Superior was OOA by a Big Un. The Sisters use the Holy Relic to pass the rout test without a roll. The Orcs lost the Shaman, Goblin an Orc Boy and a Big Un. Orcs voluntarily routed with 2 Goblins a Big Un and an Orc boy left.
After action :
Squig, Goblin, Big un died. Shaman got multiple injuries Immune to Fear. The Orc boss got a Hand Injury. Orcs found 1 shard (35gp). A Sister Superior died, Sisters found 4 Shards and the Armorer w 2 helmets. Several Sisters leveled: Matriarch new skills, Auger new skill, Sister Sup new skill, Sister Sup WS+1, Henchmen WS+1. Henchmen were bought back by the Sisters.
Harry plans on making either Undead or Possessed. |
| Corrections to Warband Creator | Mordheim | | [16-Jun-2009]
Made some corrections to the War Band Creator based on items that were incorrect. Fixed the War Band Rating calculation for large creatures. Added a calculation for Armor Save. The armor save calculation is correct based on the main book but not later obvious interpretation. Its fine with just armor or a shield. However if the unit has both it does not drop the armor save by 1 for the shield. Im not sure how to fix the formula. |
