Scenarios

starting the gameThe attacker has the first turn.

ending the gameIf at the end of the defender’s turn theattacker has more standing models within 6" of theobjective than the defender, the attacker wins.Alternatively, when one of the warbands fails its Routtest the game ends.

experience+1 Survives. If a Hero or Henchman group survivesthe battle they gain +1 Experience.

+1 Winning Leader. The leader of the winningwarband gains +1 extra Experience.

+1 Per Enemy Out of Action. Any Hero earns +1Experience for each enemy he puts out of action.

wyrdstoneOne shard of wyrdstone for each Hero of eitherwarband who is inside the objective building at theend of the game (up to a maximum of three shardsper warband).

Often a warband finds a building with a hoard ofwyrdstone or other treasure inside, only to bechallenged by a rival warband. This usually leads toconflict as it is unlikely that either side will be willingto give up the wealth easily.

terrainEach player takes it in turn to place a piece of terrain,either a ruined building, tower, or other similar item.We suggest that the terrain is set up within an arearoughly 4' x 4'. The first building should be placed inthe centre of the table, and the objective of thescenario is to take control of this building.

warbandsThe warband with the lowest number of warriors in itis automatically the defender. If both sides are equal,roll to decide.

The defender is deployed first inside or within 6" ofthe objective building. The attacking warband isdeployed within 6" of any table edge. Note that youcan split the warband to enter from different edges ifyou wish.

In the vastness of the Mordheim ruins there is alwaysthe risk of running into a rival warband. While twogroups sometimes pass each other without a fight,more often than not there is a vicious battle amongstthe ruins. If a warband can drive their rivals away, theywill have a larger area in which to search forwyrdstone.

terrainEach player takes it in turn to place a piece of terrain,either a ruined building, tower, or other similar item.We suggest that the terrain is set up within an arearoughly 4' x 4'.

warbandsEach player rolls a dice. Whoever rolls highestchooses who sets up first. The first player thenchooses which table edge to set up on, placing all hiswarriors within 8" of that edge. His opponent thensets up within 8" of the opposite edge.

starting the gameBoth players roll a D6. The higher scoring player takesthe first turn.

ending the gameWhen one of the warbands fails its Rout test, the gameends. The routing warband loses and their opponentswin.

Scenarios

87

Scattered in the ruins of Mordheim are innumerabletiny shards of priceless wyrdstone. It often happensthat two warbands come upon the same area and onlya battle can determine who will pick the spoils.

In this scenario, warbands encounter each otherwhile scavenging in the same ruined warehouse,vault, temple or other such potentially rich building.


special rulesOnce you have placed the terrain, put someWyrdstone counters on the tabletop to representwhere the shards are. There will be D3+1 counters intotal.

Each player takes it in turn to place a counter. Roll aD6 to see which player goes first. The counters mustbe placed more than 10" from the edge of the tableand at least 6" away from each other. Note thatcounters are placed before deciding which edge thewarbands will play from, so it is a good idea to putcounters towards the middle of the table. Warriorscan pick up the counters simply by moving into

contact with them. A warrior can carry anyamount of wyrdstone without any penalty.Warriors cannot transfer their wyrdstone toanother warrior. If the warrior who iscarrying a counter is taken out of action,place the counter on the table where he fell.

warbandsBoth players roll a D6 to see who deploysfirst. Whoever rolls highest sets up first,within 8" of the table edge of his choice. Hisopponent then sets up within 8" of theopposite edge.

starting the gameBoth players roll a D6. The highest scoringplayer takes the first turn.

ending the gameThe game ends when one warband fails itsRout test. The routers automatically lose.

experience+1 Survives. If a Hero or a Henchmangroup survives the battle they gain +1Experience.

+1 Winning Leader. The leader of thewinning warband gains +1 Experience.

+1 per Wyrdstone Counter. If a Hero orHenchman is carrying a Wyrdstone counterat the end of the battle he receives +1Experience.

+1 Per Enemy Out of Action. Any Heroearns +1 Experience for each enemy he putsout of action.

wyrdstoneYour warriors earn one shard of wyrdstonefor each counter still in their possession atthe end of the battle.

Scenario 3: wyrdstone hunt

88 8888

Scenarios

88

When news of a huge deposit of wyrdstone startscirculating, warbands will mount expeditions tounearth the wealth. However, their rivals often try toblock them, eager to claim all the wyrdstone forthemselves.


warbandsEach player rolls a dice. Whoever scores higherdecides which table edge the attacker sets up on.

The attacker sets up first, within 8" of his table edge.The defender sets up anywhere on the table as long asall his warriors are at least 14" away from any attacker.

starting the gameThe attacker has the first turn.

ending the gameIf one of the warbands fails a Rout test, the game endsimmediately and the routing warband loses.

If the attacker manages to move two or more standingwarriors to within 2" of the defender’s table edge,they have broken through and he wins the game.

experience+1 Survives. If a Hero or a Henchman group survivesthe battle, they gain +1 Experience.

+1 Winning Leader. The leader of the winningwarband gains +1 Experience.


+1 Breaking Through. Any warrior earns +1Experience for breaking through enemy lines. If thewarrior is a Henchman, then the whole group gains+1 Experience.

Scenario 5: street fightOften two warbands will come face to face with eachother in the narrow streets of Mordheim. Sometimesthey pass each other without incident but more oftenthe meeting ends in bloodshed.

terrainSet up all the buildings into a single street, with nogaps along the sides. Behind the buildings areimpassable ruins, although the buildings themselvesare still accessible. The only way out is along thestreet. The street may be as winding as you like andshould not be too narrow to fight in, but can havenarrow bottlenecks at some points. We suggest thatthe terrain is set up within an area roughly 4' x 4'.

set-upBoth players roll a D6 to see who sets up first.Whoever rolls highest chooses whether to deploy firstor second. The warbands are deployed within 6" ofopposite ends of the street.

special rulesNeither warband can backtrack down the street toleave the battlefield via their own edge.

starting the gameRoll a D6 to see who has the first turn.

ending the gameWhen one of the warbands manages to move all itsremaining warriors out of the street via the opposingedge, the game ends and that player is victorious.

Alternatively a warband which fails a Rout test losesthe game.




+1 Escaping. The first Hero from either side (notboth!) who exits via the opposing table edge gains+1 Experience.

Scenario 4: breakthrough

8989 89

Scenarios

89

Both warbands have completed their daily search ofthe ruins and are on their way back to theirencampment when they run into each other. Neitherside was expecting a fight, and the warband thatreacts the quickest has the advantage.


set-up1. Each player rolls a D6. The player with the higher

score can choose to deploy first or second.

2. The first player to deploy sets up his entirewarband in deployment zone A as shown below.

He may choose which quarterof the table to nominate as

deployment zone A.

3. The second warbandcan then be set up indeployment zone B,

but no modelmay be set upwithin 14" of

any enemymodel.

starting the gameEach player rolls a D6 and adds the normal Initiativeof their leader. The player with the higher score goesfirst.

special rulesEach warband is carrying D3 shards of wyrdstone atthe beginning of the battle. Mark down the numbereach warband has.

ending the gameThe battle ends when one warband fails a Rout test.The routing warband loses.

experience+1 Survives. If a Hero or a Henchman group survivesthe battle then they gain +1 Experience.



wyrdstoneBoth warbands gain all the wyrdstone they werecarrying at the beginning of the battle, minus thenumber of their own Heroes that were taken out ofaction during the game, down to a minimum of zero.In addition, they gain one extra shard of wyrdstonefor each enemy Hero they take out of action, up to

the maximum number of shards theopposing warband was carrying at the

beginning of the battle.

Scenario 6: chance encounter

90 9090

Scenarios

There is a rumour that one of the ruined buildingshas a concealed cellar with a treasure chest hidden init. Two rival warbands have heard about the cellar andare now searching the area. Who knows what they willfind?


set-upBoth players roll a D6 and whoever rolls highestchooses which warband sets up first. This warband isdeployed within 8" of any table edge the playerchooses. His opponent sets up within 8" of theopposite side.

special rulesAll the warriors (not animals!) in each warband knowroughly what they are looking for and must inspectthe buildings to find the treasure. Each time a warriorenters a building which has not been previouslysearched by either side roll 2D6. On a score of 12, hehas found the treasure. Buildings in the deploymentzones are not searched (since they have alreadybeen thoroughly ransacked) and each buildingmay only be searched once.

If you have not scored 12 with any roll whenthere is only one building left to search, thetreasure will automatically be found there. Afterfinding the treasure chest, the warrior must thentake it to safety via his own table edge. Carryingthe treasure chest will slow the warrior carryingit to half speed. Two or more models may carrythe chest without any penalty. You may use thetreasure chest model to represent the chest. Ifthe carrier is put out of action, place the treasurechest at the spot where he fell. Any man-sizedmodel may pick it up by moving into basecontact with it.

Whoever recovers the chest may roll on thefollowing chart after the game to see what thechest contains. Note that you roll for each itemseparately, apart from the gold crowns, which arealways automatically found. For example, roll tosee if you find any wyrdstone – you need a 5+ tofind it. Then roll to see if you find the armour,and so on. This can make the chest a veryvaluable acquisition – however, it could alsomean that your warband has risked death foronly three gold crowns!

ITEMS D6 ROLL REQUIRED TO FIND

3D6 gc AutomaticD3 pieces of wyrdstone 5+Suit of light armour 4+Sword 3+D3 gems worth 10 gc each 5+

starting the gameRoll a D6. The player rolling highest has the first turn.

ending the gameWhen one warband gets the treasure to safety, or awarband fails a Rout test, the game ends. Thevictorious warband then gains the treasure chest.




+2 For Finding the Chest. If a Hero finds thetreasure chest he earns +2 Experience.

Scenario 7: hidden treasure

9191 91

Scenarios

This scenario takes place in a part of Mordheim wherethe buildings are bursting with shards of wyrdstoneand other wealth. Taking and holding these buildingsmeans that your warband gains rich pickings.Unfortunately, your opponent has the same idea.


warbandsEach player rolls a D6. The player with the highestscore decides which warband sets up first. The firstplayer chooses the table edge he wants to set up on,and places all his warriors within 8" of it. Hisopponent then sets up within 8" of the opposite edge.

starting the gameBoth players roll a D6. The player with the higherscore takes the first turn.

special rulesThe objective is to captureD3+2 of the buildings onthe tabletop. Mark thesebuildings, starting with theone closest to the centre ofthe table, working your wayoutwards to the next nearestbuilding. A building isoccupied if at least one ofyour standing models isinside and no enemy modelsare inside the building.

ending the gameThere is no need to take anyRout tests – as the game lastsfor a maximum of eightturns. If one warbandvoluntarily routs, the gameends and the winningwarband is considered tooccupy all of the buildingson the table.

experience+1 Survives. If a Hero or aHenchman group survivesthey gain +1 Experience.

+1 Winning Leader. Theleader of the warband whocontrols the highest numberof buildings at the end of thebattle gains +1 Experience.

If both sides occupy thesame number of buildings,then the battle is consideredto be a draw and neitherleader gains this bonus.

+1 Per Enemy Out ofAction. Any Hero earns +1Experience for each enemyhe puts out of action.

Scenario 8: occupy

929292

Scenarios

One warband is out searching the ruins of Mordheimfor loot when it is attacked by an enemy warband. Thedefenders are spread thinly and must muster adefence quickly to drive off their attackers.

terrainStarting with the attacker, each player takes it in turnto place a piece of terrain, either a ruined building,tower, or other similar item. We suggest that theterrain is set up within an area roughly 4' x 4'.

set-up1. The defending player rolls a D6 for each Hero

and Henchman group in his warband, in anyorder he chooses. On a 1-3, they are elsewhere inthe ruins and turn up later as reinforcements. Ona 4-6 they are deployed at the start of the game.Note that at least one Hero or Henchmen groupwill be present at the start. If all roll 1-3, the lastHero or Henchmen group will automatically bedeployed at the start of the battle.

2. The defender deploys his available Heroes andHenchmen on the table. No model may be closerthan 8" to another model, as the warband isspread out wide to search the ruins. No modelmay be deployed closer than 8" to a table edge.

3. The attacker deploys his whole warband within 8"of a random table edge, as shown below. He maychoose which edge to nominate as ‘1’ beforerolling to see where he deploys.

starting the gameThe attacker alwaysgets the firstturn.

special rulesThe defender, at the start of his second andsubsequent turns, may roll a D6 for each of hisHenchmen groups or Heroes not yet on the table. Ona 4+ they move on in the movement phase from arandom table edge as shown below – roll a D6. Allreinforcements for that turn arrive from the sameedge and may charge on the turn in which they arrive.

ending the gameThe game ends when one warband fails a Rout test.The routing warband loses.



+1 Per Enemy Out ofAction. A Hero earns+1 Experience foreach enemy heputs out ofaction.

Scenario 9: surprise attack

92

Travelling entertainers often tell tales of the ruined city andbecause of this, sons of the privileged classes often see thecity of Mordheim as one big romantic adventure. Sometimesone will run away from home to join a mercenary warbandand make a name for himself. Often these individuals arekilled before they even get to the city but once in a while onewill get lucky and actually make it that far. Sometimes theirfamilies are happy to see the young fool go but once in awhile, a rich merchant or noble will actually pay to have hisson saved from his inevitable fate in Mordheim.

The warbands have heard rumours that a powerful man’s sonhas wandered into the ruins and a handsome reward will bepaid for his return.

terrainEach player takes it in turn to place a piece of terrain, eithera ruined building, tower, or other similar item. We suggestthat the terrain is set up within an area roughly 4'x6'.

special rulesThe merchant’s son is initially placed in the centre of theboard. He will wander D6" in a random direction at the startof each of the first player’s turns, until someone ‘rescues’him. If a warband member comes into contact with themerchant’s son (through normal movement, NOT throughcharging – this is an exception to the normal rules andrepresents that the merchant’s son is not the enemy andshould not be engaged in combat), the boy will attach himselfto that member and follow him around. If the ‘rescuer’ istaken out of action, flees or routs, the merchant’s son willattach himself to the next warband member to contact him.Should someone wish to attack the merchant’s son, he hasthe same stats as a Youngblood (see the Mercenary warbandin the Mordheim rulebook) and is armed with a sword anddagger. If he is killed, no reward will be issued to the winningwarband, of course.

warbandsPlayers use the normal warband set-up rules (see ‘Setting upthe warbands’).

starting the gameEach player rolls a D6. The player rolling highest has the firstturn, and order of play proceeds clockwise around the table(based on where players placed their warbands).

ending the gameThe game ends when one warband manages to get themerchant’s son off the table. That warband (and any alliedwarband) is the winner.

experience+1 Survives. If a Hero or Henchman group survives thebattle they gain +1 Experience.

Scenario 3: the lost prince

30

The merchant’s son gets cornered by threedifferent warbands eager to claim the reward.

Not all of the ruined buildings in the city are ordinary houses.Some notable structures were the abodes of important townleaders or rich merchants. Tales are told of hidden roomsfilled with treasure in such homes. The warbands havediscovered the location of one such building. Rumoursabound that the former owner also dabbled in the arcane arts,which may explain why his home was almost untouched bythe devastation.

terrainEach player takes it in turn to place a piece of terrain, eithera ruined building, tower, or other similar item. We suggestthat the terrain is set up within an area roughly 4"x6". The firstbuilding should be placed in the centre of the table, and theobjective of the scenario is to take control of this building.

warbandsOne player is the defender, determined as normal (see‘Attackers and defenders’ at the beginning of the article),representing the warband that reached the mansion first. Thedefender is deployed first inside or within 6" of the objectivebuilding. Then the attacking warbands are set up as normal.

In addition, for each attacking warband beyond the first, thedefender rolls once on the table below to determine theadditional equipment his warband gets to start with. Eachitem may only be found once. If the same number is rolledmore than once, re-roll. These items represent the findings ofthe warband thus far and are meant to give the warband achance against multiple opponents.

D6 Item Found

1 Wooden Man 2 D3 doses of Mandrake Root3 D3 doses of Crimson Shade4 Lucky Charm5 Holy (Unholy) Relic6 Cathayan Silk Cloak

All of the above are described in the Mordheim rules exceptfor the Wooden Man. For rules on the Wooden Man, see newitems opposite.

starting the gameEach player rolls a D6. The player rolling the highest has thefirst turn and order of play proceeds clockwise around thetable (based on where players placed their warbands).

ending the gameThe game ends when all warbands but one have failedtheir Rout test. The routers automatically lose. If one ofmore warbands have allied, they may choose toshare the victory and end the game.

experience+1 Survives. If a Hero or Henchmangroup survives the battle they gain +1Experience.

+1 Per Enemy out of action. AnyHero earns +1 experience for eachenemy he puts out of action.

wizard’s treasureAt the end of the game the winning warband finds all of theitems on the table above which were not found before thebattle. In addition, roll on the following chart to see whatadditional items the warband finds in the mansion. Note thatyou’ll roll for each item separately, apart from gold crowns,which are always found. For example, you will need to roll a4+ to find a Tome of Magic. Then roll to see if you find theGromril Sword and so on.

new itemsWooden Man: Use the stats and special rules for a zombiewith +1S and +1T. The Wooden Man is an artificial constructin the shape of a man but made of wood. It will follow thecommands of the defending warband but will not leave thewizard’s mansion for any reason, even after the game. TheWooden Man may obviously not be traded.

Athame: An Athame is a special silver dagger used in magicalrituals. If used in combat, it will not hold its edge. For the firstattack in a game, it will count as a normal dagger. However,for the rest of the game it will count as a fist attack. TheAthame is worth 10 gold crowns if traded.

Dispel Scroll: This scroll contains a powerfulcounterspell. It may be read aloudimmediately after an opponent hassuccessfully cast a spell (but beforeresults have been determined) tonegate its effects. When used roll aD6. The enemy spell is cancelledon a roll of 4 or more. After one use, the scroll willdisintegrate and isuseless. It may betraded for 25+2D6 gc.

Scenario 4: the wizard’s mansion

31

32

Rumours abound about a pool in the city whose waters havemagical powers of healing. The warband’s patrons believe themagical properties of the water are due to a large deposit ofwyrdstone within the pool. The warbands have been sent tocollect as much wyrdstone from the pool as they can.

terrainEach player takes it in turn to place a piece of terrain, eithera ruined building, tower, or other similar item. We suggestthat the terrain is set up within an area roughly 4'x6'. The firstpiece of terrain should be a pool of water roughly 6" indiameter. The objective of the scenario is to gather all thewyrdstone from the pool.

special rulesRoll a D3+3 to find out how many pieces of wyrdstone are inthe pool. The pool is shallow and may be entered. Any Herospending an entire turn within 1" of the pool doing nothingelse but searching for wyrdstone may roll at the end of histurn to see if he finds some. On a D6 roll of 1-2, that playerhas found one of the pieces in the pool. No Hero may searchwithin 1" of another model (friendly or enemy), as modelsthat are too close together disturb the waters for each other,so that neither may see the bottom. Only as many pieces ofwyrdstone may be found as were rolled at the beginning ofthe game, any searching after that is useless. A Hero can carryany amount of wyrdstone without any penalty. Heroes cannottransfer their wyrdstone to another warrior. If the Hero whois carrying a counter is taken out of action, place the counteron the table again where he fell. Another warrior can then

pick up these counters simply by moving into contact withthem.

warbandsPlayers use the normal warband set-up rules (see ‘Setting upthe warbands’, above).

starting the gameEach player rolls a D6. The player rolling highest has the firstturn, and order of play proceeds clockwise around the table(based on where players placed their warbands) from there.

ending the gameThe game ends when all warbands but one have failed theirRout test. The routers automatically lose. If one of morewarbands have allied, they may choose to share the victoryand end the game.



+1 Per Enemy out of action. Any Hero earns +1 experiencefor each enemy he puts out of action.

+1 Per Wyrdstone Counter. If a Hero or Henchman iscarrying a Wyrdstone counter at the end of the battle hereceives +1 Experience.

Scenario 5: the pool

Scenario 6: ambush!

The defending warband has recently discovered a richdeposit of wyrdstone. Unfortunately, word has leaked outabout their find and warbands throughout the city arehunting them, determined to take the treasure forthemselves.

terrainEach player takes it in turn to place a piece of terrain, eithera ruined building, tower, or other similar item. We suggestthat the terrain is set up within an area roughly 4'x6'.

special rulesOne player is the defender, determined as normal (see‘Attackers and defenders’ at the beginning of the article). Eachof the defending warband’s Heroes carries D3 pieces ofwyrdstone. If a Hero carrying wyrdstone is taken out ofaction, place a number of counters, equal to the amount ofwyrdstone he was carrying, on the ground where he fell. AnyHero moving into contact with them may pick up thesewyrdstone shards.

warbandsAll the models in the defending warband must be set upwithin 6" of the centre of the board. The attacking warbandsare then set up as normal.

starting the gameEach player rolls a D6. The player rolling highest has the firstturn, and order of play proceeds clockwise around the table(based on where players placed their warbands) from there.

ending the gameDo not roll for Rout tests during this game. Instead, the gamewill last 10 turns or until all the wyrdstone shards have beencarried off the board, whichever comes first. The warbandthat gets the most wyrdstone shards off the table (or held byone of its Heroes when the game ends) is considered thewinner.



+1 Per Enemy out of action. Any Hero earns +1 experiencefor each enemy he puts out of action.

+1 Per Wyrdstone Counter. If a Hero is carrying aWyrdstone counter at the end of the battle he receives +1Experience.

The warbands have heard rumours that a terrible monster hascome up out of its lair beneath the city following the recentdevastation and established a new home in the ruins. Youhave heard stories of such creatures and the treasure theyaccumulate is the stuff of legends. You have decided to see foryourself if the rumours are true.

terrainEach player takes it in turn to place a piece of terrain, eithera ruined building, tower, or other similar item. We suggestthat the terrain is set up within an area roughly 4'x6'. The firstbuilding should be rather large (at least 6"x6") and open-topped, preferably ruins. This building should be placed inthe centre of the table, and this is where the monster’s newlair is located.

warbandsPlayers use the normal warband set-up rules (see ‘Setting upthe warbands’).

special rulesThe monster’s lair is located in the central building and thisis where the beast will be. The monster is young for one of itskind and its profile reflects this. In addition, a lifetime ofliving in caverns beneath the city has kept the creature fromlearning to use its wings. Therefore, unlike most monsters,this beast cannot fly. The monster will not leave its lair for anyreason, though it will use its breath weapon against anymodel in range that it can see and will, of course, attack anymodel entering its lair. It will charge all models entering itslair if possible. Its ‘turn’ is performed before whichever playerwon the dice roll to go first, though it will do nothing untilsomeone comes near its lair. For the monster’s stats, see‘Great beasts in Mordheim’ over the page.

starting the gameEach player rolls a D6. The player rolling the highest has thefirst turn, and order of play proceeds clockwise around thetable (based on where players placed their warbands).

ending the gameWhen one warband (or more than one, if the players haveagreed to share the monster’s hoard) is the only one to haveany models within 6" of the monster’s lair, and the monsterhas been put out of action, that warband is victorious andgets the monster’s hoard. If two or more players have decidedto share the hoard, they must decide how to split it up. If theycannot determine this peacefully, their warbands will have todecide it un-peacefully!



+1 Per Enemy out of action. Any Hero earns+1 Experience for each enemy he puts out ofaction.

+1 For Wounding the Monster. AnyHero or Henchman earns +1Experience for each wound he inflictson the monster.

+2 For Putting the monster out of action. The Hero thatputs the monster out of action gets a bonus +2 experience.

treasure hoardThe young monster has moved its treasure hoard with it to itsnew lair. Because of its age, the young monster has notcollected as much treasure as an older creature of its type.Still, it has amassed a respectable amount. Whicheverwarband has control of the monster’s lair at the end of thegame may search it to see what it contains. Note that you rollfor each item separately, apart from gold crowns, which arealways found.

Great beasts in MordheimRegular games of Mordheim are not really suitable for theintroduction of the larger monsters that roam theWarhammer world. Even a small dragon, for example, wouldeat the average Mordheim warband for lunch! Due to thenature of multiplayer Mordheim, however, with its alliancesand generally broader emphasis, such creatures may wellmake an appearance without overly upsetting the game.Monsters in Mordheim are a bit smaller than theirWarhammer counterparts – they represent creatures that havelurked underground in the caverns beneath the city, areformer denizens of Mordheim’s world famous Imperial zoo,or are young members of their species who have recentlybeen forced out of the nest and have decided to set up a newlair in the ruined city. Players who wish to include monsters

in their games of Mordheim can do so using Scenario 7:Monster Hunt, or may wish to create their own

scenarios using these rules. If a monster is desired,the players should either

choose what type of beastthey are hunting or roll on

Young HydraProfile M WS BS S T W I A Ld

Fear: Despite its smaller size, the young Hydra is still afearsome opponent. It causes fear.

Save: The young Hydra’s scales aren’t as strong as a normalHydra’s, but they are still as strong as metal. The Hydra has anarmour save of 6+ that is not modified by the strength ofattacks against it (or by other save modifiers).

Breath Weapon: When the young Hydra breathes, flamesleap from its mouths. It can use these flames as a weapon if itwishes. This attack is made in the Shooting phase and may bemade even if the Hydra is involved in close combat. Simplyplace the small teardrop shaped template with the narrowend at one of the Hydra’s mouths; any models under thetemplate will be hit by flames on a dice roll of 4+. A modelhit by flames takes a single S3 hit. Normal armour saves apply.Do not worry about any buildings the template may cover;the Hydra’s fire is too weak to set them alight withoutprolonged exposure.

Loss of Heads: Each wound suffered by a Hydra representsone of its many heads getting taken out of action. Because ofthis, any successful (unsaved and un-regenerated) Wound toa Hydra reduces its Attacks characteristic by one. In addition,the loss of heads makes for fewer flames when it breathes, sofor every 2 successful Wounds, the strength of the Hydra’sbreath weapon is reduced by one (to a minimum Strength of1). So, for example, if the Hydra has taken 3 (unsaved and un-regenerated) Wounds, it would have 2 attacks remaining andthe Strength of its breath weapon would be reduced to 2.

Regeneration: All Hydras have the ability to regrow damagedheads. Some can do this immediately, while for others it maytake a matter of hours or even days to replace a head that islost. To represent this ability, at the end of each round of closecombat roll a D6 for each Wound the Hydra has suffered thatround. On a roll of 4 or more that Wound has regenerated;any regenerated Wounds are reinstated. If a Hydra is down toits last Wound remaining, make this roll to regenerate beforerolling on the Injury table; a successful Regenerate roll meansthat no Injury roll is made.

Will not Rout: The Hydra is far too greedy to abandon itshoard. It will automatically pass any Rout test or any othertest that would cause it to leave its lair. It will not leave its lairfor any reason.

Skull of Iron: The Hydra’s skulls are much too thick fornormal blows to penetrate. It is immune to the effects ofbeing stunned. Treat any stunned results from the Injury

table as a knocked down result instead (see below).

Staggered, but not down: Mighty blows will rock theHydra but most creatures lack the ability to truly knockit into the dirt. Therefore, any knocked down resultthe Hydra receives will instead cause it to lose 1 Attackuntil it recovers (during the Recovery phase of its nextturn). Multiple knocked down results will cause it tolose multiple attacks in this way (if taken to 0 Attacks orfewer, the Hydra may not attack until it recovers).

Reinhold pulled his blade out of the body of the Black Skavenlying at his feet. He looked up to see the remaining ratmenscurrying away as quickly as their stunted legs would carry

them. The bodies of dead and wounded Skaven and ChaosCultists littered the street. Reinhold’s band had escaped the battle

with little more than a few scrapes and bruises, thanks largely to hisquick thinking. The wily veteran had assessed the situation and forged

a hurried alliance with the Skaven against the Cultists. Then as soon asthe members of the coven were put down or fleeing, Reinhold’s men

quickly turned on the surprised ratmen, easily driving off thecowardly abominations as well. It was not a tactic he would have

used against anyone other than the unclean, but blasphemersdeserved no mercy. It was not an heroic victory

certainly, but it was victory nonetheless.And victory was something to be proud of

in this dark city.

Night of the Dead!Scary Scenario

By Andy Tabor

This game is for a one time multi-player game (one-off) or can bemodified to be used in a campaign. Pitfightertrainer, GreenwoodGaming Group, Kawarda and myself: (BankofMarienburgh)modified this scenario from Troll 23 for a Halloween Game.

Your warband has been in the City of the Damned and has had adifficult time finding Wyrdstone and keeping your warbandhappy. You have recently heard rumours at local watering holethat there is a pile of Wyrdstone so large that an Ogre could notcarry it all! After hearing the story over many drinks there areseveral warbands contemplating the idea of searching for thepile. Along with the story of Wyrdstone there are consistentstories of Demons, Zombies and Bears. Oops, I mean nefariousthings that lurk in this unexplored section of town. It has beenrumoured that the famed “Town Cryer” of Mordheim walks thestreets here.

SET-UPAll players roll 1D6 and whoever rolls highest sets up first. Ifmore than two warbands, please use Mordheim Annual 2002page 27 Diagram 1.

Starting the Game

Roll a D6. The player rolling highest has the first turn and orderof play proceeds clockwise around the table (based on whereplayers placed their warbands).

DEPLOYMENTStarting models will begin 12 inches inside the table and further

models to come out for the fight will start at 8 inches.

TERRAINTake turns placing terrain around the

gaming table but be sure to leavean 8 inch circle open in the

middle of the table. This8” area will representwhere the Wyrdstonepile is located. Inplacing terrain leavestreets or alley waysopen.

SPECIAL RULESOne hero and one henchmen group will be chosen at random.Roll 1D6 for each Hero, the Hero with the highest dice roll willbe the first to venture into the City. In the event of a tie, keeprolling until one Hero is the winner. Do the same for henchmengroup. The rest of your war band seems to be lost in the fog fornow. (Your gaming group or GM should agree what the D6 rollwill represent: Captain, champion, young bloods and etc)

In addition, the heavy fog will limit visibility to 4 inches. If youattempt to run more than 4 inches then roll 1D6 on a one (1) ortwo (2) the warrior must consult the chart below. On a three (3)or better on a 1D6 the warrior has no problems running.

If you have a rabbit's foot you may use it to re-roll. If the modelhas a lucky charm they may use it to avoid a bad effect (2-8).

Roll 2D6 for Effect: 2 Crud, AAHH!-The warrior is Out Of Action. 3 Crud, Mommy!-The warrior runs full distance in a

random direction.4 Crud, Ouch-The warrior is Stunned.5 Anybody! Move 4" in a random direction.6 Crud! Ouch!-The warrior is knocked down.7 Whooo was that! Stand still and listen.8 Oh,Light! I think?-Move 4" in any direction you choose.9-10 Yikes-The warrior is treated as having failed a charge,

but no other effect.11-12 Graceful Turn-The warrior dodges a fatal accident. No

effect.

Each hero and henchmen must attempt to get their Wyrdstone totheir deployment zone. Once a hero or henchmen group returnsto their deployment zone another of the same type may leave togo search for the treasure. No hero or henchmen can return tothe deployment zone unless they have treasure. If or when eachhero or henchmen group returns to their deployment zone theystash their Wyrdstone and roll D6 to see who will venture backinto the city. It is possible for the same group to go again butunlikely. You may continue this until all your models are OOA.

For each warband D3+1 Zombies will be generated around theWyrdstone pile when a model takes some Wyrdstone. TheZombies will appear 8 inches away and will be randomized byscatter dice. The Zombies will have home court advantage; theyknow this area like the back of their hand, if they have one.Zombies are in search of fresh meat to eat, thus in this scenariothe Zombies can charge a warband model that is 8 inches awayon a 4+. Familiarity and hunger (MMM….brains) make theirkeenness higher. It will be possible for the Zombies to chargethrough the fog and DO NOT have to roll on the random counterabove.

If a player does not wish to move his/her models to theWyrdstone pile the GM may use any persuasive techniquesnecessary to encourage such behaviour.

The Great LibraryNew scenario for Mordheim

By Andy Tabor

The North-East Quarter of Mordheim was renowned for tradeand learning. When Mordheim was a living city, the crowdedlabyrinth of streets and market plazas were called the Merchant'sQuarter, more commonly known as the District of the FlyingHorse. Mordheim became known as the finest market of the cityin the Empire, rivaling even the busiest ports as Marienburg.There were many traders who would claim that for the rightprice they could locate any object for you so desired in a day.

Another notable aspect of the North-Eastern Quarter was theGreat Library. During the rule of the extravagant Count IgnatiusSteinhardt, the library grew extensively to become the largestbuilding in the entire city. The Count was particularly fond ofcollecting mystical and religious tomes. Of course, unwittingly,The Great Library managed to collect on of the largest depositsof Daemonic and Necromantic lore in the Empire.

Now after the disaster struck Mordheim Library was engulfed byflames from the comet. Only the bravest ever consider goinganywhere near the ruins but the lure of ancient tomes is enoughto persuade mages from across the Empire to hire warbands toretrieve any books that they can find. For enough gold, fools canfind enough bravery to risk even this dark place.

*Credit given toTC 25 Space McQuirk and Nick Jakos.

TERRAINEach player will take it in turn to place a piece of terrain, eithera small building, or other piece of terrain. If you have one pieceof terrain or several that could “act” as the Library should beplaced in the middle. Many of the tomes have been spewedacross the many blocks close to the Library. The battle is foughtin an area roughly 4' x 4'. You may want to make the table largerif this is to be a multiplayer game.

SPECIAL RULES & SETTING UPPlayers should then place D3 +1 Tomes for each warbandinvolved in the game on the tabletop to represent where theTomes are. Each player takes it in turn to place a Tome counter.The counters must be placed more than 10” away from the edgeof the table and at least 6” away from each other. Note thatcounters are placed before deciding which edge the warbandswill play from. A warrior can carry any amount of Tomes withoutany penalty. Warriors can not transfer their Tomes to anotherwarrior. If a warrior is put OOA then the Tome is placed next towhere the model was taken OOA. The Tomes cause FEAR. Youmust take a FEAR test to pick one up, unless you are immune toFEAR. This is to represent the great unknown on whether or notthe Tomes are Evil. To represent the chaotic nature of thedisaster and the many magic tomes that are scattered in the areawarbands will roll on the Random Happenings from 2002 Annualor online from the articles page in the Mordheim section.

Warbands will begin rolling on the Random Happenings chartwhen the first model touches a tome and will continue then atthe beginning of each warbands turn. Yes, the first warband that

touches a Tome will roll on the Random Happenings chart eventhough it will already be in the middle of their turn. Pleaseexempt rolls of 11, 45, 54, and 65 from the D66, just roll again.

WARBANDSPlayers use the normal warband set-up rules.

STARTING THE GAMEEach player rolls a D6 to determine who goes first. Play proceedsclockwise around the table.

ENDING THE GAMEThe game ends when all the warbands but one have failed theirRout Test. Warbands that Rout, automatically lose. If two or morewarbands have allied they may choose to share the victory andend the game, or they may continue the game until one warbandis victorious.

EXPERIENCE

+1 Survives. If a Hero or Henchmen group survives the battlethey gain +1 Experience.

ILL GOTTEN GAINS…You can sell the Tomes for 25 +1D6 or choose to keep the scroll.If you keep a scroll then roll on the chart below (1D6). Rollingon the chart below will represent that the Hero has decided toopen the scroll and is trying to decipher its abilities. Pleasenominate which Hero will be opening the scroll.

Here are a few of the scenarios that have beenspecifically tailored for Khemri (see page 7 ofTC 16 for the full tables).

Your warband has found an oasis to camp at.These finds are essential to the warriors’survival. As you are taking a break you are setupon by another band that wish to steal yourcache of water.

TerrainPlace terrain in centre of 4'x4' board 12" fromthe edges. Rocks, trees, small buildings/ruinsare great for this. One item represents a wellor pool.

WarbandsThe warband with the lowestrating defends the oasis. Ifyou have the same numberof warriors the one with thelowest water count defends. Ifwater counts are equal, then rollto see who defends. Interestingly Undead willdefend an oasis even though they have no usefor the water.

Set-UpThe defender deploys first, within 6" of thewell or pool. The attacker deploys within 6" ofany table edge.

Starting the gameThe attacker takes the first turn.

Ending the GameIf a warband fails a Rout test the game ends. Ifthe attacking warband has more men within6" of the well than the defender at the end ofa turn then the attacker wins.

Experience+1 Survives. If a Hero or Henchman groupsurvives the battle they gain +1 Experience.

+1 Winning Leader. The leader of thewinning warband gains +1 extra Experience.


RewardsThe winner may fill his water supply to themaximum. Remember that you cannot carrymore water and treasure than your burdenlimit.

When trading, the winner may remain at theoasis (since they successfully defended orcaptured it), and rolls for a caravan (3+) asnormal. Meanwhile, the defeated warband hasto roll on the Exploration chart with a -1modifier, (as finding another oasis would beconsiderably difficult).

The warbands have heard rumours of a tombin the area with treasure. Each warband istrying to find it first and make it back out ofthe tomb alive.

TerrainUse tiles to represent the tomb (see TC 17).Place the Burial chamber in the centre of thetable and an entrance in room one of thecorners of the table. If more than twowarbands are playing, place as many entrancetiles as needed at the corners.

WarbandsRoll to see who has the first turn. Highest D6score chooses the starting tile.

Scenarios

Scenario 9 – Defendthe Oasis

Scenario 4 – Tomb Raid

18


Ending the GameIf a warband routs the game ends. If thetreasure chest is removed from the board thatwarband wins.




RewardsIn the tomb the winner gets D3 items oftreasure from the following chart. Roll a D6each time to find out what you get.

D6 Item Found1 Heavy armour2 D3 Scimitars3 D6 Jambyias (daggers)4 Gem-encrusted helmet worth D6x10 gc5 Shield6 Monkey’s paw (see TC 17)

(Scenario for 2-4 players)Many stories have been told of wealthyprinces or other nobles travelling through thehot deserts of Araby and never reaching theirdestinations. Most of the merchants that travelthe deserts are attacked by all sorts of raidersseeking to steal their riches. These storiespersuade the merchants to protect themselves

from whatever may happen, and hiremercenary warbands to do their

fighting for them.

WarbandsHalf of the warbands fighting this scenario aredefending the merchant’s wagon from attackwhilst the other half are trying to raid thewagon of the merchant. Determine who aredefenders and attackers in the usual wayexcept there may be more than one of each. Ifthere is an odd number of warbands thenthere will be one more defending player.

The defenders’ job is to provide enough of adistraction to the opposing warband(s) for theprince to make it safely off of the oppositeedge. The attacker’s job is to prevent theprince from escaping to the other side of thetable by attacking and putting him out ofaction.

TerrainThe battle takes place in the open. Thescenery may consist of dunes, oases andruined buildings. Place them as normal.

Set-UpThe defenders are set up first on one longedge of the battlefield. Next the attackers setup on either of the twoshort sides.

Scenario 10 – Protectthe Prince

19


Special RulesThe prince will follow any friendly model upto the limits of his movement. If he is morethan 1" from a friendly Hero at the start of theMovement phase, then he will run themaximum distance in a random direction (usea Scatter dice). If this takes him into basecontact with an enemy then this counts ascharging. He will not voluntarily charge anenemy.

If any unengaged enemy models are within 2"at the beginning of the movement phase hewill flee directly away from the closest one.He will rally by passing a Leadership test inthe usual way. If a friendly model is in basecontact he may also make a Leadership test torestrain the cowardly prince.

Each defending player controls the prince intheir turn. This may create some interestingconflicts in a multi-player game. His profile isas follows:

Profile M WS BS S T W I A Ld

Prince 4 2 2 3 3 1 3 1 7

Equipment: He is equipped with a Scimitar(sword) and a Jambiya (dagger).

Ending the GameA defender wins the game if he is in control ofthe prince when he makes it off theappropriate table edge. If he flees off anothertable edge then neither side wins. An attackerwins by killing the prince before he leaves. Ina multi-player game warbands may choose toally and share the victory and winnings.

Experience+1 Survives. If a Hero or Henchman groupsurvives the battle they gain +1 Experience



+1 Killing the prince. Any character whoputs the prince out of action gains +1Experience.

RewardsIf the prince escapes he will reward hisprotectors with 4D6 gold crowns from hispurse. If he is killed then the winningwarband will find 2D6 gold crowns, plusjewellery equivalent to two pieces of treasureon his body.


This is the fifth installment of Khemri – TheLand of the Dead; the new setting based to

the far south of the Old World amidst theburning desert sands and lost temples of oldNehekhara. This section introduces theArabian Tomb Raiders warband and the last ofthe special scenarios.

Scenario 11 – One Man’s Rescue isAnother Man's Kidnap

Throughout history, intelligent beings havealways coveted one another’s possessions –whether that’s his gold, weapons or slaves; soit is in Khemri too. Kidnapping is notuncommon in the land of dunes and palms –whether for ransom, political advantage or useas raw materials! Many of these victims aresubject to a ‘rescue’ attempt, either by thevictim’s family, hired mercenaries or byanother group who also wants to ransom thevictim.

This scenario is classically played out betweenNomad warbands, but can be played by anywarband.

TerrainThe defender first sets up a camp at least 18"from any table edge. The camp consists of atleast one tent for every three members of thewarband, excluding animals and Undeadhenchmen (who don’t need tents). In anycase the camp must have at least two tents.Also see Tents hereafter. Each player thentakes it in turn to place other pieces of terrain– an oasis, sand dunes, ruins, etc, at least 4"away from any other piece of scenery.

ObjectiveThe objective of the game is for the attackingwarband to free the kidnap victim and escorthim/her (preferably alive) from the table. Thedefenders must try to keep the victim on thetable (and alive). If the victimdies, the game is considered adraw – neither side gets thewin bonus – additionalExperience points and gold.

WarbandThe defender sets up the warband’s modelsanywhere within the camp, including insidethe tents. The kidnap victim model must beset up inside a tent – profile as a YoungBlood. Models should be set up inside tentsin secret – ask your opponent to look away asyou place any of your models inside the tents.

The attacker sets up on any side, no morethan 8" onto the table. The attacker goes first.

Special RulesThe victim is considered free if at the end ofany turn there is an attacking warrior modelwithin 2" and he is closer than a defender.The victim model may then move as normal.

Ending the GameThe game ends when the victim has beenrescued, or when one warband fails a Routtest. The winning warband gains 5D6+10 GCas a ransom/reward.

Experience+1 Survives. If a Hero or a Henchman groupsurvives a battle they gain +1 Experience.

+1 Per enemy out of action. Any Hero earns+1 Exp. for each enemy he puts out of action.

+1 Winning leader. The leader of thewinning warband gains +1 Experience.*

+1 Rescuer. The warrior who rescues thevictim gains +1 Experience.*

*Note: The last two are not awarded if thekidnap victim dies.

Special Rules – TentsCost: 20+2D6GCThose that travel the deserts require shelterfrom the freezing nights and often-fiercesandstorms. The inhabitants of Khemri havedeveloped light, robust tents to protect themfrom the extremes of the desert. These arefrequently quite lavish and opulent –displaying the owner’s wealth with items suchas embroidered wall hangings, silk pillowsand rare rugs.

Tents normally have only one entrance andonly one model may shoot from a tent eachturn. If an attacking model is within 2" of theentrance to a tent he can see inside – removethe canopy, revealing the models within.

Because of the tent’s narrow entrance, it isunusual for more than one model to be ableto fight in hand-to-hand combat (dependingon your model tent). If a model in theentrance to the tent (either immediatelyinside or outside) is stunned, then anystanding model in base contact may move itoutside. Either player may move the model,but the player controlling the model has thefinal decision if there is any dispute. Place thestunned model to one side of the tententrance, but move it no more than 2". Thiswill allow attackers to gain entrance bydragging enemies out or pushing injuredwarband members out of the way. A modelmay not be moved and then attacked in the

12


same turn (although he may be attacked thenmoved). Assume that the stunned model ismoved at the end of the current player’s turn.

Because of the cramped conditions, weaponsthat require two hands to use (includinghalberds and most missile weapons) cannotbe used inside a tent.

Optional RulesThis adds a level of complexity, slowingdown the game; it also allows for greatertactical flexibility and realism.

Damaging Tents: Tents are made of a tough,hard wearing material but can be slashed andcut open using natural claws, a dagger orother bladed weapon (but not a hammer,dogs’ paws, camel hooves, etc). In game termsthey have a Toughness of 2, 4 Wounds andcount as flammable.

If a sharp weapon causes a ‘wound’, a holehas been opened. Place a marker to indicatewhere this improvised opening is. However, asuccessful Initiative test must be made to

enter, otherwise the warrior has becometangled in the tent’s fabric and can do nothingelse this turn. A warrior, thus entangled, maybe attacked from inside or outside the tent,and the entangled warrior is at half WS whendefending himself.

If reduced to 0 Wounds, the tent collapses. Allinside must make a successful Initiative test tofree themselves. They may do nothing elseuntil freed, nor may they be attacked. Thekidnap victim must be freed from a collapsedtent by a warrior– she is tied up and cannotfree herself.

Tent ModelsThe tent models should be made with oneentrance and so that no more than six models(20mm bases) can fit inside. They can beround or rectangular (rectangular is easier forgame play) – both are appropriate for thesetting. Make the tents such that the canvascan be lifted off to leave a floor area withsome wall (about an inch or so) so that theentrance is clearly marked.

THE SHEIKH

"Where are we going, effendi?" asked Ben Ahrim.

"You will find out soon enough my friend", replied the tall bearded man at his side. "We are goingto find gold and treasures beyond your wildest dreams". The Sheikh smiled, showing his goldtooth.

"Uncle, I know of only one place where treasures lie for the taking and I do not want to go there".Ben’s swarthy skin looked pale. "They say that the princes of old walk the sands even though theyhave been dead for thousands of years. They say that they hate all living things and long only to killthem to raise in their own foul image".

"Ben Ahrim, you are my sister’s son. You are my family. Since the thrice cursed greenskins cameand killed my beloved son Ibn, you are my heir and successor."

"I know uncle. You have been like a father to me since my own father died. Tell me that you are notleading our tribe to its doom". Ben Ahrim trembled as he spoke, belying his years as a warrior.

"Do not fear. I know full well the monsters that await us in the Land of the Dead. I would not takeus there unless I was sure that we could beat the cursed ones." The Sheikh turned making hisrobes rustle in the hot breeze. The silver chain that held his amulets and charms tinkled. Walkingtowards them was a short fat man with the brightest robes you could find in any bazaar. "Welcome",boomed the Sheikh, "The hospitality of my tent is yours. My water is your water".

The newcomer paused, out of breath. "My lord is most gracious. My water is yours also," he panted.

Ben Ahrim looked at him incredulously. "Is this a new warrior to help us defeat the dead princes?With respect he hardly looks able to hold a spear to defend himself."

"Please excuse my nephew." The Sheikh turned back to Ben. "The creatures of which we speak arecreations of ancient evil magics. They will use it against us. To fight magic we must employ magicourselves." Gesturing to the gaudily dressed little man, "This is Abu ben Baba. He is a powerfulmage he assures me. With his help we will destroy the undead monsters."

Young Ben Ahrim looked again at the mage then turned back to the sheikh, "How much gold didyou say?" A gleam appeared in his eye, "Uncle, forgive me for doubting you. Let us awayimmediately".

Here are a few of the scenarios that have beenspecifically tailored for Lustria (see page 18 ofTown Cryer 10).

3. The Secrets of theBeujuntae

It has been more than a few millennia sincethe Daemons of Chaos descended upon thejungles of Lustria seeking to destroy the newraces the old ones had created. The first Slannused High Magic to entomb these Daemonsthousands of years ago. Now they lay inslumber, waiting to be awakened byunfortunate mortals. Some find thesacrilegious tombs that hold these Daemonswhile searching the jungles of Lustria forriches.

Within the Jungle lies such a dark forbiddensecret. An ancient Daemon of Chaos lie inwait. Spawned from the Changer of Ways theSlann Mage Priests called it Beujuntae or‘Possessor of souls’ in the Slann tongue.

In this scenario, warbands encounter eachother while scavenging loot from the tombthey have found.

It can be played by 2-4 players seeking a newchallenge. This scenario is not for the weak atheart. It is a challenging war of wits andmight. Only the bravest players shouldattempt to quell the spirit of the Beujuntae.

TerrainYou should have a small tomb and ruins in themiddle of the board and encircled by jungle.Each Player takes a turn placing a piece ofterrain. They may place a tropical tree, ruins,

tomb or similar items. We suggest that theterrain is set up within an area roughly 4’x 4’.

Up to 16 carnivorous plants may also be inplay. This should of course be discussed withthe players in advance!

Set-UpAll players roll a D6 to see who deploys first.The player rolling highest sets up first, within8" of the table edge of his choice. His/heropponent(s) then sets up within 8" of theopposite edge.

Starting the GameRoll a D6. The player rolling highest has thefirst turn.

Special RulesOnce you have placed the terrain, put someartefact (wyrdstone) counters on the tabletopto represent where the artifacts are. There willbe D3+2 counters total.

Each player takes it in turn to place a counter.Roll a D6 to see which player places first. Thecounters must be placed more than 16" fromthe edge of the table and at least 6" away fromeach other. Note that counters are placedbefore deciding which edge the warbands willplay from, so it is a good idea to put counterstowards the middle of the table. Warriors canpick up the counters simply by moving intocontact with them. A warrior can carry anyamount of artifacts without any penalty.Warriors cannot transfer their artefact to

another warrior. If the warrior who is carryinga counter is taken out of action, place thecounter on the table where he fell.

In each of these tombs is interned theBeujuntae spirit of a Daemon of Chaos thatare release should the tombs be opened bylooters. After all the players have had the firstturn each player rolls a D6 at the end of thefirst player’s shooting phase. The warbandwith the lowest score has a hero possessed bythe Beujantae. Choose from random whichhero becomes possessed.

When a hero is possessed he/she gains Fearand a +1 S, +1 W, +1 A and +1 T. Thepossessed hero charges the nearest unitwhether it may be friend or foe. It attacks firstregardless of whether the opposing unit’sabilities give it the chance to strike first.

At the end of the turn, the Daemon leaves theHero’s body for another. Repeat thepossession process only on the first player’sshooting phases. The Hero who waspossessed has been immensely drained and isvery weak, and therefore has an automaticinjury roll against him. Roll a D6 on the injurychart for the hero who has been possessed.

If a warband has all their heroes out of action,then the warband must take a rout test. Thehenchmen are fearful of the Daemon that hadpossessed their Heroes.

Ending the gameThe games ends when one warband fails itsrout test or 6 turns have elapsed.

Experience+1 Survives. If a Hero or ahenchman group survives thebattle, they gain +1experience.

+1 winning Leader &Heroes. The Leader andHeroes of the winningwarband gains +1experience.

+1 per Artefact counter. Ifa Hero or henchman iscarrying an artefact counterat the end of the battle hereceives +1 experience.

+1 per enemy out of action. Any Heroearns +1 experience for each enemy he putsout of action.

RewardsThe player who wins gets to open the tomb ofa long-dead Slann Mage Priest (to the victorgo the spoils!). Roll on the Items chart belowto see what you find within the tomb.

Roll 2D6 for each of the following:

5+2d6 gc (Automatic success)

6+ Magic Sickle raises WS of bearer +1.

7+ D6 gems worth 10gc each.

8+ Ancient Bone Armour confers 4+ save andin all other respects acts like light armour

6. Jungle Skirmish— The Fog of War

Early risers in Lustria are greeted by rollingmists that cut visibility to almost nothing. Feware the men that willingly venture out into themists. It is easy to become lost anddisorientated when each way you look is a seaof white. It is the dread fear of any treasurehunter to run across a rival warband in themists, to not know exactly who it is you arefighting until it is too late...

This game may be played by 2-4 players

Set-UpEach player rolls a D6. Whoever rolls thehighest chooses which table edge to set upon, placing all his warriors within 8" of thetable edge. His opponent then sets up on theopposite side as normal.

TerrainEach of the players take turns placing piecesof terrain. They may place either jungle trees,ruins or other similar item. We suggest thatthe terrain be set up within an area roughly4'x4'.

Starting the GameBoth players roll a D6, the highest goes first,second highest goes second, etc.

Special RulesThere is a light fog covering the whole table.To represent this, warbands have a -1M and -4" to their missile weapon range. This wouldmake a long bow maximum range 26" ratherthan it's normal 30". The skill "Leadership" isreduced to half range, i.e. anyone wanting touse the LD value of the hero with Leadershipmust be within 3" of the model.

Ending the gameThe game will end when there is only onewarband remaining unbroken on the table.This warband is the winner.

Experience+1 Survives. If a Hero or a henchman groupsurvives the battle, they gain +1 experience.

+1 winning Leader & Heroes. The Leaderand Heroes of the winning warband gains +1experience.


8. Island HoppingThe river Amaxon splits into several smalltributaries, creating many small islandssurrounded by swirling rapids. These islandssometimes contain important artifacts ortreasure, and must be defended.

TerrainOn a 4’x 4’ table, place a river so that itcrosses the entire board, and its branchescreate several islands. There should be at leastone more island than the number of playerstaking part in the scenario. Islands mustcontain at least 6" square of area. Set up atleast as many bridges, as there are players in asensible manner between the islands.

WarbandsThe players each roll a dice. Whoever rollshighest chooses the island to set up on, andsets up first. The other players then choose indescending order.

Starting the GameAll players roll a die, and the highest rollergoes first. Turn sequence proceeds clockwisearound the table after the first player’s turn.

Special RulesThe objective is to control as many islands aspossible by the end of the game. To control anisland, you must have more standing modelson it than any single enemy. The river isimpassable terrain, so bridges must be used tocross from island to island. There can be nomore than four models on a bridge at anytime. If a model takes a wound on a bridge, itmust make an Initiative test or fall into theriver. If this happens, it takes an additional S3hit and is washed onto the nearest bank.

Ending the gameThe game ends after six turns, or if all thewarbands but one fail rout checks.

Experience+1 Survives: all Heroes and henchmengroups who live through the battle gain +1experience.

+1 Winning Leader. The Leader of thewinning warband gains +1 experience.

+1 Per enemy OOA: Heroes gain +1 XP foreach enemy they put out of action.

+1 Island Takeover: The Leader of awarband that controls another player’sstarting island at the end of the game gains+1 experience.


Starting the GameThe Attacking Warband(s) starts first – if thereare more than one roll 1D6 with the highestscoring player going first and then moving indescending order. The Defender always moveslast. The Lizardman Beastmaster goes first andshould be controlled by the referee.

Special RulesThe Attacker(s), at the start of the second andsubsequent turns, may roll 1D6 for eachHenchmen group or Hero not yet on thetable. On a 4+, these reinforcements maydeploy during the movement phase from arandomly determined table edge. Allreinforcements that arrive may not charge onthe turn in which they arrive.

The players must defeat the Beastmaster togain control of the Cold Ones. The unit/Herowhich puts the Beastmaster Out of Action,gains control of the Cold Ones by taking theBeastmaster’s whip from his prone form.Other enemy units can gain control of theCold Ones by similarly taking the whip fromwhoever has possession. If nobody is inpossession of the whip, the Cold Ones willimmediately become subject to Stupidity.Also, roll 1D3 to determine how manyartifacts the Lizardman Beastmaster carries.The unit/Hero which takes out the LizardmanBeastmaster gets the artifacts but if the unit isstunned or Out of Action, another unit inbase-to-base contact may take the artifacts.The Unit with the whip must always be within4" of the Cold Ones.

No warband may voluntarily Rout. The gamelasts for 12 turns

Ending the gameThe player who runs off the board with atleast one of the Cold Ones and artifacts winsthe game. If both Cold Ones are Out of Actionthen the last warband not routing wins thegame. The last model which has the artifactsin its possession gains them.

Experience

+1 Survives. If a Hero or a Henchman groupsurvives, they gain +1 experience.

+2 Winning leader. The leader of thewinning Warband gains +2 experience.

+1 per enemy out of action. A Hero earns+1 exp for each enemy he puts out of action.

Beastmaster and Cold OnesLizardman beastmaster: Use a Skink GreatCrest from the Lizardman Warband from TCissue 11 for the Beastmaster (page 24) and therules for Cold Ones can be found on page 17of the same issue.

WinningsIf the winning Warband captures the ColdOnes alive, they can either mount a unit onthem or sell them for 80gc. If one or both ofthe Cold Ones are dead then you can sellthem for 40gc each.

The artifacts are the equivalent of a Wyrdstoneshard each and can also be sold.

5. Lost Temple of the SlannLong ago, when the Old Ones lived andprospered in the steaming jungles of Lustriathey erected great white stone pyramid-temples in which to live and contemplate theheavens. Since their demise many of thesetemples have fallen into ruin with a few of thethe domain of the Slann and their Lizardmenfollowers.

It is the temples of the Lizardmen that drawthe greedy and adventurous to them likemoths to a candle for they are reputed to begreat repositories of arcane knowledge and, ofcourse, gold...

For 2-6 warbands.

TerrainEach of the players takes turns placing a pieceof terrain. They may place jungle trees, man-eating plants, quicksand, ruins or othersimilar terrain features. The terrain should beset up in an area roughly 4'x6'. You should puta Building (temple) in the centre of the table.The objective is to take control of thisbuilding.

WarbandsOne randomly determined player is thedefender representing the Warband thatreached the building first. This is regardless ofwho has the highest Warband rating.However, if there is a Lizardmen Warbandtaking part, they become the defenderautomatically. The defender is deployed first,inside or within 6" of the objective building.The attacking Warbands are set up as normal.

In addition, for each attacking Warbandbeyond the first, the defender rolls once onthe Booty table (below) to determine theadditional equipment his Warband gets tostart with. Each item may only be found once.If the same number is rolled more than once,re-roll. These items represent the findings ofthe Warband thus far and are meant to givethe Warband a chance against multipleopponents:

D6 Roll Item Found

1 Temple Stone Guard

2 1D3 doses of Dark venom

3 1D3 doses of Crimson shade

4 Holy (or unholy) relic

5 Lucky Charm

6 Heavy Armour

All of the above are described in theMordheim rules, except for the Temple stoneguard. For rules on the Temple stone guard,see new items.

Starting the GameEach player rolls a D6; the player rolling thehighest has the first turn and order of play

proceeds clockwise around the table. Theattacker must set up 6" to the nearest tableedge.

Ending the gameThe game ends when all warbands, but one,have failed their rout test. The routersautomatically lose. If one or more warbandshave allied, they may choose to share thevictory and end the game.

+1 Winning leader. The leader of thewinning warband gains +1 experience.


The Old RelicsAt the end of the game the winning Warbandfinds all of the items on the table above whichwere not found before the battle. In addition,roll on the following chart to see whichadditional items the Warband finds in thetemple. Note that you’ll roll for each itemseparately, apart from gold crowns (or theirequivalent), which are always found. Forexample, you will need a 4+ to find a Tome ofMagic. Then roll to see if you find theGromril Sword. Note that you roll on thetable once for each Hero that you have whoisn’t Out of Action. The maximum number oftimes you can roll is 6.

The Temple Stone Guard is a statue of aLizardman Saurus, created to protect the

temple. The defending player gets to controlthe guard for this game. It will not leave thetemple for any reason, even after the game.The Stone Guard may not be traded. You canuse any Saurus miniature to represent thestone guard. Even one that is not painted!

Dispel Scroll: (as in Best of Town Cryer).This scroll contains a powerful counter spell.It may be read aloud immediately after anopponent has successfully cast a spell (butbefore results have been determined) to

negate it’s effects. When used roll a D6. Theenemy spell is cancelled on a roll of a 4 ormore. After one use, the scroll willdisintegrate and is useless. It may be tradedfor 25+2D6 gc.

Cloak Of Mists: Only a Hero can have thisitem. There is an additional -1 penalty to hitfor any attacks against the wearer (closecombat or missile fire). There is also a -1penalty to Initiative when trying to spot thewearer if he is Hidden.

Bounty HuntingYour warband has tracked a notorious band ofoutlaws to their lair, hoping to turn them in tothe authorities and collect the reward on theirheads. Unfortunately, it appears that anotherband of would-be bounty hunters is hot on theirtrail as well…

TerrainEach player takes it in turn to place a piece ofterrain, either a building, set of hedges or walls,hill, section of forest, section of swamp, river orstream, or similar item or terrain appropriate forEmpire in Flames. There should be a largebuilding in the centre of the table to representthe bandits’ hideout.

Sprcial RuleThe bandits are inside their lair, and they aren’treal anxious to be caught! At the end of eachgame turn, D6 crossbow bolts shoot out of thedoors and windows of the hideout at the nearestwarband members (they’re not particular aboutwhich warbands they shoot at!). Each bolt will bedirected at a different target if possible. Crossbowbolts are fired with a BS of 3, modified by rangeand cover as normal (and, of course, the guysinside must be able to trace a line of sight from adoor or window to the warband member).Warband members may not enter the buildinguntil the scenario is over.

Set-upAll players roll a D6 to see who deploys first,with the player rolling highest choosing a tableedge and setting up first. If there are twoplayers, then the next player sets up on theopposite board edge. If there are more thantwo players, the remaining players choose sidesand set up their warbands based on the order oftheir dice rolls, highest to lowest. A player mustset up his warband within 8" of his table edge,but not within 4" of a side edge, and not within10" of another player’s warband. Keep in mindthat more than four players should beaccommodated with a larger battlefield thannormal (see the ‘Chaos in the Streets’ article onmulti-player games in the Mordheim 2002Annual, page 26).

Starting the GameEach player rolls a D6 to determine who goesfirst. Play proceeds clockwise around the table(based on where players placed their warbands)from there.

Ending the GameThe game ends when all warbands but one havefailed their Rout test. Warbands which routautomatically lose. If one or more warbands haveallied when the other warbands have all routed,they may choose to share the victory and end thegame, or they may continue the game until onewarband is victorious.

As soon as there is a clear winner, the bandits giveup. They may be turned in to the authorities for5+1D6 GC per head (roll separately for eachbandit), and there are 6+1 bandits per warbandinvolved in the game holed up in the hideout (soif four warbands take part in the game, there are10 bandits in the hideout). The winningwarband also captures the bandits’ equipment (6 crossbows, D3 swords, 2D6 daggers, and abunch of wormy rations that are worth nothing).


+1 Winning Leader. The leader of the winningwarband(s) gains +1 Experience.

+1 Per Enemy Out of Action. Any Hero earns+1 Experience for each enemy he puts out of

action.

+1 Scratched by the Bandits. Any Herowho gets wounded by a bandit crossbowbut not taken out of action gains +1Experience.

Lost In The Bogs!

One of the warbands has become lost in thebogs and separated (obviously a change inleadership is required!). As they call to eachother to try to link back up, other warriors hearthem and decide to take advantage of theirplight…

TerrainEach player takes it in turn to place a piece ofterrain, either a building, set of hedges or walls,hill, section of forest, section of swamp, river orstream, or similar item or terrain appropriatefor Empire in Flames. At least half of the terrainplaced should be sections of swamp or marshyground.

Special RulesThe warband with the highest rating is the onethat got lost. That player places each of his

warband members on the board, not within10" of a table edge, and not within 6" of eachother. After that warband is placed, any otherwarbands set up their warbands as noted under‘Set-up’, below.

Set-upAfter the lost warband has been placed, anyremaining players roll a D6 to see whodeploys first, with the player rolling highestchoosing a table edge and setting up first. If

there are two players who are not lost, thenthe next player sets up on the opposite

board edge. If there are more thantwo players who are not lost, the

remaining players choose sides

and set up their warbands based on the orderof their dice rolls, highest to lowest. A playermust set up his warband within 8" of his tableedge, but not within 4" of a side edge. Keep inmind that more than four players setting up ontable edges should be accommodated with alarger battlefield than normal (see the ‘Chaos inthe Streets’ article on multi-player games in theMordheim 2002 Annual, page 26).

Starting the GameEach player rolls a D6 to determine who goesfirst. Play proceeds clockwise around the table(based on where players placed their warbands)from there. The lost warband automaticallygoes last.

Ending the GameThe game ends when all warbands but one havefailed their Rout test. Warbands which routautomatically lose. If one or more warbandshave allied when the other warbands have allrouted, they may choose to share the victoryand end the game, or they may continue thegame until one warband is victorious.

The Thing in The Woods

Your warband is travelling to the next town whensuddenly you notice that the woods you havebeen walking through have taken on a distinctlymore ominous feeling. The shadows are muchdeeper here, and strange sounds may be heard.Some of your warriors report seeing somethingmoving just out of sight as well. You had heardrumours about the woods in this area of theEmpire being haunted by malevolent spirits andcreatures of the night, but you dismissed them asold wives’ tales, until now. Then a piercing howlbreaks the silence…

TerrainEach player takes it in turn to place a piece of

terrain, either a building, set of hedges or walls,hill, section of forest, section of swamp, river or

stream, or similar item or terrain appropriate forEmpire in Flames. At least half of the terrain piecesplaced should be sections of woods.

Special RulesFear of the Dark – These woods are seriouslyrattling the warbands. Any warband member in aWood section must take an All Alone test everyturn (even if there are other friendly warbandmembers nearby). Failure means that thewarband member flees 2D6" toward thenearest table edge (warband members whoflee off the board are out of the game, thoughthey will not have to roll for Serious Injuryafter the battle).

Thing in the Woods – There is one Thingin the Woods for every warband involved

in the game (so a two-player game wouldhave two Things, a four-player game wouldhave four, etc). The Things are placedwithin randomly selected forest sections

and start the game hidden. At the end ofevery game turn (after all players havetaken their turns), there is a special

‘Thing turn’.

A Thing will automatically chargeany warband member that straysinto its charge range. Otherwise,they move 2D6" in a random

direction unless there is anotherforest section within range inwhich case they will always moveinto that. Just like any other player,the Things have their own hand-to-hand Combat phase, and a warriorwho is engaged in close combat witha Thing will fight during his turnand the Thing’s turn, just as if itwere engaged with a warriorfrom another warband.

Set-upAll players roll a D6

to see whodeploys first,

with the player rolling highest choosing a tableedge and setting up first. If there are two players,then the next player sets up on the oppositeboard edge. If there are more than two players,the remaining players choose sides and set uptheir warbands based on the order of their dicerolls, highest to lowest. A player must set up hiswarband within 8" of his table edge, but notwithin 4" of a side edge, and not within 10" ofanother player’s warband. Keep in mind thatmore than four players should be accommodatedwith a larger battlefield than normal (see the‘Chaos in the Streets’ article on multi-playergames in the Mordheim 2002 Annual, page 26).

Balewolf 5 4 0 5 5 3 4 2(3) 7

SPECIAL RULESLarge Beast: The Balewolf is a huge creatureand counts as a large target for the purposes ofshooting and may be targeted even if it isn’t theclosest model.

Fear: The Balewolf is a terrible andfrightening creature that causes fear.

Forged by Chaos: A creation of Chaos; theBalewolf was born from some nefarious yetunknown origin. The power of Chaos knits itsform together when it is wounded and as suchthe Balewolf has the ability to supernaturallyheal itself. At the start of each of its turns roll aD6 if the Balewolf is wounded. On aroll of 5+ one Wound is restored asits skin miraculous knits backtogether.

Flesh of Iron: The Balewolf ’s skin isthicker than toughened leather,wholly capable of turning asideblades and arrows alike. TheBalewolf has an Armour save of 4+

which is reduced by the Strength ofthe attack as normal.

Vicious Jaws: The Balewolf ’s massivejaws are capable of crushing a man’sbody in two. The Balewolf has anextra Attack from its jaws (as denotedin its profile) which is always its firstattack. If this attack hits, it causes a

critical hit on a roll of 5 or 6.

Lycanthrope: The blood of theBalewolf contains a terrible andpowerful curse. Any model takenout of action from an attack from

the Balewolf risks the taint of itsdark blood (note that this onlyaffects man-sized creatures andnon-mutants). After the battle, if themodel survives the attack, roll a D6.On a roll of a 6 any injuries themodel is currently suffering arecured but they are now cursed!

In each subsequent battlewhenever the cursed model is

wounded they must take aLeadership test. If they fail

they transform horrifically

before the eyes of their comrades into theBalewolf! The model now has the same stat-line as the Balewolf. Any armour orequipment it was wearing is destroyed andany weapons the model was carrying are lostbut may be recovered after the battle. TheBalewolf will always charge the nearestmodel, friend or foe, if it can, otherwise itwill move at maximum speed towards them.It may try and restrain itself from attacking acomrade by taking a test against his ownLeadership (he may not use the leader’s). Ifpassed, the Balewolf will ignore friendlymodels.

Roll a D6 after the battle. On a roll of 2-6 themodel returns to normal (albeit withoutattire…) but still carries the curse. On a rollof 1, the Balewolf takes hold completely andin his feral state disappears into thewilderness lost forever in myth and legend(remove from roster).

In the year following the comet that flattened thehedonistic city of Mordheim, the Empire became a muchdarker place. It is in the largely untamed wilderness of theEmpire, where hardy rural folk battle the elements anddrag a living from the soil, that the most fearsome rumourspervade. The farmsteaders and villagers of the Empire are acurious breed, somewhat backward in comparison to therelatively sophisticated city folk. They are a verysuperstitious lot, zealously religious they pray to the godsSigmar, Ulric and Taal for a good harvest, fertility andprotection from the horrors of the dark. It is also said thatthey pray to older gods, forgotten by the folk of the citiesover the centuries.

The peasantry are gruff, poorly educated but extremelyhard working folk who have little time for outsiders,especially those from the big cities whom they view as softand effete. They often lead short and unfulfilling lives andthrough back breaking hard work are bent double bymiddle age.

Despite all of this, the rural folk of the Empire areexceptionally brave, to the point of reckless insanity, andhave an incredible sense of community. They are also verysuspicious and wary of any strangers and can treat themsometimes with surprising hostility.

Woe betide any who should attempt to raid or steal fromthese strange folk!

TerrainEach player takes it in turn to place a piece of terrain, eithera set of hedges, walls, hill, section of river, swamp, forest,or other similar item. There should be D3+1 buildingsclustered in the centre of the battlefield to represent thefarmstead. The battle is fought in an area roughly 4' x 4'.

Set-upPlayers should roll a D6 and whoever rolls highest chooseswhich warband goes first. This warband is deployed within8" of any table edge the player chooses. The opponent (oropponents in the case of multi-player games) then set upwithin 8" on the opposite side.

Atthe start of its turn, the Frenzied Mob will automaticallycharge any warriors that are within charge range. If thereare no warriors within charge range, the Mob will move sothat it is always within 5" of the building it came from (ie. Ifa previous charge had taken it further than 5" from itsparent building).

While Empire in Flames is a newsetting for Mordheim games, mostof the equipment (includingprices and rarities) remains thesame... this is still within theEmpire after all! However, thereare a few new items of equipmentto be had. These are detailed below.

Lock Picks Rare 8 Cost: 15 GCA standard piece of kit for less scrupulouscharacters. A set of lock picks may be usedby those who rely more on skill-at-arms andspeed of thought than brute strength toopen doors that others have secured. Amodel equipped with a set of lock picks maymake his test to open doors on his Initiativerather than his Strength characteristic if hewishes. This is done at the end of hisMovement phase as if the model wereripping the door off its hinges, though heuses his Initiative rather than Strength, thereis no -1 modifier, and there is no chance thatthe door is too damaged to be locked againlater.

Torch Common Cost: 2 GCWarriors lacking the funds for a lantern mayhave to make do with torches. Torches act

exactly as lanterns, adding +4" to the rangethe model may spot hidden enemies, buthas a few other special rules as well. Atorch will only last one game. A model

armed with a torch counts as causing fear inanimals (Hunting Dogs, all riding steeds,Bears, Wolves, etc), and may use a torch as amakeshift club. When used in combat, atorch is treated as a normal club, thoughwith a -1 to hit modifier. Any

models that have aRegeneration specialrule (like Trolls)will not be ableto regeneratewounds causedby a torchduring theb a t t l e .(Torches mayalso causebuildings tocatch fire – see‘Let theDamned Burn’,from TownCryer 8).

Barding Rare 11 Cost: 30 GCBarding is armour for a horse in the

same way that light and heavyarmour is for a human. It covers themount’s hide and in some cases thehead. A model mounted on barded

horse receives an additional +1Armour save)+2 instead of +1 for being

mounted). In addition, a mount wearingbarding will only be killed on a D6 roll of a1 if the model is taken out of action.(Warhorses only).

Horseman’s Hammer Rare 10 Cost: 12 GCThis is a great hammer similar to the ones usedby the Knights of the White Wolf. Far too bulkyto use in one hand, a horseman’s hammer isbest suited to mounted combat, when theimpetus of the horse may be used to add to thepower of the weapon.

Range: Close CombatStrength: As user +1Special Rules: Two-Handed,

Cavalry Charge

Special RulesTwo-handed: A model armed with ahorseman’s hammer may not use a shield,buckler, or additional weapon in close combat.If the model is equipped with a shield he willstill get a +1 bonus to his Armour save againstshooting.

Cavalry Charge: A model armed with ahorseman’s hammer may use the speed of hischarge to increase the might of his attacks. Amodel on a steed with a horseman’s hammer

gains a further +1 Strength bonus whenhe charges. This bonus only

applies for that turn.
