The lost prince

This week's Mordheim game takes us to the streets close to count Gotthard's square, where the son of a rich merchant family is the target of three warband looking to get a reward from his father

While witch hunters and reiklanders take a close in approach the pirates keep their distance

Following one of the sigmarite dogs the child moves toward the exit

Pirates and witch hunters engage in a bit of fighting off the side

And the battle ends when the lost prince exits the table escorted by a flagellant

Chaos in the streets

We played a couple of games this weekend. In the first witch hunters, reiklanders, shadow warriors and pirates engaged in a four way battle to control the docks district

Faced with an ogre and a tide of zealous sigmarites the elves started to fall back

While next to them the soldiers of Altdorf moved towards the wyrdstone hugging the cover

While sneaking behind the ruins the witch hunters were spotted by the elves and arrows began to fly

Killing the ogre mercenary

The reiklanders then charged into the building

While on the far side of the battle a warhound took down one of the craven pirates

Two elf heroes fell to the zealous tide

Pushing them over the edge and making the knife ears run together with the altdorfers

With only pirates and witch hunters left, a truce was declared and both warbands split the docks

Sunday saw the debut of the skaven vermin

Facing down pirated and an entrenched reiklander gunline

The valiant (or foolhardy) rats rushed the streets looking for Wyrdstone

Clashing and scattering the pirates

Only to fall to the crossbows and elf bow of the enemy, who took control of the clock tower overlooking the ruined streets of Mordheim

The middle bridge

 

Second game of the campaign takes us to the center of Mordheim, where three warbands clash for control of the bridge linking bots sides of the city of the damned

The fanatic witch hunters and a pirate gang have put their differences aside and march against the common foe

A band of shadow warriors from Ulthuan

The canny elves take aim and Ves becomes the first casualty of the game

The witch hutners than hide behind cover

While the asur take to the first floor

Spotted by the elves the templars of Sigmar charge

Coming to grips with the elf captain and explorer

The whole building becomes a battlefield and elves, men, dogs and ven an ogre trade blows

But ultimately the casualties are too great and the witch hunters retreat

All hopes lies now with the pirates, who approach the building under heavy fire

The sea robbers charge, but they too are overwhelmed by the shadow warriors

Who are left in control of the bridge

More ruins

Made three more houses for Mordheim, including a tavern and also painted a young wivern for the moster hunt scenario

 

Hired swords

 

Painted the four hired swords remaining to have the full cast shown in the main rulebook

First we have a reckless dwarf slayer from Vae Victis, a crazed warrior with a deathwish more than eager to enter the horror of Mordheim

From the same brand I also got a gladiator, converted with a morning star to play as a pit fighter in the city of the damned

The elf ranger meanwhile comes from GW, one of the heroes of the cursed city game

And last but not least a diminutive halfling scout also from Vae Victis
