Altdorf halberdiers

 

These 3D copies of the excellent 4th edition halberdiers have arrived to reinforce my imperial army, painted in the red and blue of Altdorf with yellow feathers and laces

Imperial battery

 

Painted some guns from Highland miniatures to add even more heavy firepower to my Empire army. This time I mounted the cannons and mortar on a square base to play them in the Old World

Geheimnisnacht

 

Morrslieb, the moon of chaos shines bright over Mordheim on Geheimnisnacht, and all manner of beasts and demons stir from their lairs to hunt. Worse still, in Saint Voller's cemetery a black hearted necromancer starts a foul ritual based on the great invocation of Nagash that, if successfully cast on this most evil of nights, will turn all the dead of the city into zombies,

faced with such evil our warbands leave their differences aside and march together into the cemetery

Defended by a dreadful host of ghouls, ghosts and zombies!

Witch hunters and pirates take the offence charging into the undead menace

While on the other side of the cemetery reiklanders and elves cut a path through the unliving

The streets of Mordheim run red with the blood of men and the foul ichor of the zombies

But for every dead abomination another takes its place emerging from defiled tombs and crypts 

At last it's a brave flagellant who smashes down the gates of the mausoleum where the foul ritual is taking place

Discovering the necromancer hiding within

While behind him men and several sellswords keep the undead at bay

With the gates down the elves finally come out from hiding

Moving into the cemetery with reiklander help

With bloodcurdling shrieks the ghosts slay a score of warriors, but the valiant sigmarites and pirates keep them embattled to give their comrades more time

The flagellant charges into the necromancer filled with zeal, but the malevolent liche dodges his frenzied blows

In the end it is one of the pirate women who saves the day

Killing the evil wizard and nabbing a big chunk of wyrdstone to boot. Mordheim is saved and no longer will the undead hordes roam the ruined streets of the city of the damned!

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
