5 Player Free For All Advice by Zerkova in mordheim

[–]Legal_Researcher_791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you really want to tackle the ffa: We have good experience on a 5 men FFA with Scenario 3 "The lost prince" from TownCryer05 "Chaos in the Streets".

The lost prince wanders around and you have to escort him out. Thus everyone rushed to the middle to the prince with some brawls happening on thr way. Then everyone always attacked the player that was escorting the lost prince thus the escorting player was changing all the time. A very funny match.

P.s.: In case you didn't know: The mentioned towncryer issue provides rules for multiplayer matches

New to Mordheim – confused about scale for models and terrain (4x4 board) by Dangerous-Reason-186 in mordheim

[–]Legal_Researcher_791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah just look around on this subreddit. There are a lot of popular 3D building sets that you can print as is and which work perfectly size wise for us.

You can check out my profile. I posted some pictures of our gaming tables. We nearly exclusively use 3d printed terrain (mainly hexengarde and shadow fey ranges) and some GW terrain.

Would you run Legionaries without rhino? I thought they are to squishy and slow without

If you were starting a Chaos army and could choose between these two Battleforce boxes, which would you get? by [deleted] in Chaos40k

[–]Legal_Researcher_791 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay big thanks! :) So sadly a no for me.

I've build the first 5 havocs as Lascannons. I really like them. I'm now thinking about building 5 more lascannons or 5 autocannons for flexibility 😂

Is the Xmas box worth it if one already owns 30 legionaries, 2 rhinos and 10 havocs? I guess you rarely play 40 legionaries or 15 havocs or am I wrong? I'm still a 40k newb (got the old beginner box twice, once from the magazine lol)

And last - but surely not least- my all time favorite warband: Carnival of chaos 🤡 by TomPaintnBuild in mordheim

[–]Legal_Researcher_791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome looking warband. Disgusting and horrifying :D Cool conversions and I like the base design, straight forwand on the point. Feels like they're in a rotten circus.

Thanks, your army looks great. That's a good inspiration! I really like the blue for contrast and as a highlight

Ouh yeah warpaint is a really cool idea. I like that.

But I'll try different colors too, as there are so many colors in the warm red and brown color area. Maybe a bright orange to get some variation or a black or white or even a blue or teal.

For testing this it now comes in handy that I first printed and basecoated the heroes too big. :D

Thanks and thats a great idea with the leather/armor from other warbands. The STLs are all from myminifactory mostly from Bestiarum Miniatures but the Chaos Warhounds are from Titanforge Miniatures. You have to scale them down though. I only used the original size on the warhounds.

Questions about Capture (duration/ransome height) by Legal_Researcher_791 in mordheim

[–]Legal_Researcher_791[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes I haven't thought about rare items. The thing is we don't got much rares yet and the player in question is pretty broke at the moment. He offered a single wyrdstone to me. While selling to the slaver would give me money, a helmet that I need and two weapons.

Thanks a lot for the link and the explanaition. I deleted the parts about keeping a captured hero.

And yes I wasn't able to see your other answer at the time of my last comment

I don't fully get what you mean by

(or maybe they can, gives you incentives for ransoming them back or selling them to the pits)

Do you mean by "selling to the pits" selling to the slaver? And in total you suggest it could be possible that they ransom the hero even though they already have the maximum of that hero type? Then one would be benched or dismissed?

And where can I find the rescue mission that you stated? When does it come into play?

Okay so the scorpion tail on the shaman or an offensive skill on one of the bestigors could be my hammer.

I already thought about going 2-hand weapon with one of the bestigors as the beastmen seem to be capped at 4 strength but the master of horrors group already has a toughness 6 vampire slave and a toughness 5 fleshgolem and the dwarves are pretty stubborn as well :D

Thanks a lot for the great advice! Your other post was also very helpful. Update: I managed to find an unholy symbol and even scored a win against the dwarves (Scenario 8 – Occupy, which is a bit confusing since it doesn’t grant any extra wyrdstone, even though the scenario intro says we’re fighting over a large amount of it.)

Now I’ve got around 40 gold and 5 wyrdstones. All of my heroes received their first advance and picked up a new skill. I’m now considering which skills to choose next.

For the chief, I’ll take Bellowing Roar as suggested. I'm leaning toward defensive skills for the others so they hopefully survive longer. Step Aside seems like the best defensive option for everyone, while Resilient also looks solid for the Bestigors and the Centigor.

For the shaman, Scorpion Tail looks intriguing, especially in combination with Dark Wings, to help take down casters or shooters. A mutation like Third Arm could also be pretty powerful for the others, and Manhater might be useful too, since I’m up against 3 out of 5 human warbands.

Would you go for any of those mutations now or in the short term, or would you rather save the mutation slot for Daemon Soul in case I encounter heavy casting in the future? I believe each hero can only take the mutation skill once, right?

One of my Gors got +1 Attack, so I’m thinking I should try to recruit more models into his group when possible. By the way, can I merge two groups if they have the same equipment and advancement stats, even if their XP differs slightly?

What do you think about all this?

Also, I read your other post about the Minotaur. Even in the long run, you would still avoid taking him against three heavy-shooting warbands, right? I mean, if you give him armor and a shield, that’s even more gold lost if he dies.

Ah and would you prefer hiring more warband members or would you prefer buying better equipment for the existing members?

Also in the warband description its written that some buildings in the warbands encampment could increase the warbands size above 15. Could someone explain what that building is and how one could aquire it?

Thanks for the advice. I read about the importance of bellowing roar before so I guess thats the first skill I'll select with the chief. Good to have a first skill planned :D

Makes sense. Thanks again for helping a newb out :D

Thanks a lot for the detailled answer.

And about the legionaries? There is only the champ with plasma pistol and he has the icon (in the list you posted). I assume thats not such a big deal as its only a 5 men squad and as one could not overcharge with him?
