Is Mordheim ACTUALLY Good?

[@Philbrush]

Would definitely be great to see Jenn and Murray do a warband each!

[@Azrael56]

They would, when you discover Mordheim you don't have the choice^^

[@KnudAutlermann]

Yes!!!! Give me more Mordheim!!!! Seeing a Murray and Jen warband and then all 3 of you in a campaign would just be so stellar

[@kwest9747]

I find the multiplayer scenario “Monsterhunt” is always a cracking start to a campaign.

[@Marshal976]

Love the names of the individual warband members! 🤣🤣

[@kwest9747]

The youthful exuberance of Stönd Byme in the miniature showcase is perfection. Modelling and painting coming together to really bring the character to life.

[@JonarusDraconius]

Whoa whoa whoa! Necromunda, the first version from the days of 2nd Ed. 40k, beack in the Early-to-mid-90's came BEFORE 'Mordheim', it was basically the 'Warhammer Fantasy' version OF Necromunda in pretty much EVERY way, even a lot of the mechanics were similar! (Speaking as someone who Played the original Necromunda at the time and thus is very much aware that Mordheim came later)

[@jmarsh1827]

I love Jen's paint job, the minis are so vibrant!

[@rasmusolesen5307]

3:23 Necromunda first edition is from 1995, and Mordheim was released in 1999 as a heavily inspired fantasy version of it. But most of your viewers probably already know this ;)

[@luketfer]

Makes me wonder if it was intentional to drive up engagement

[@rasmusolesen5307]

​@@luketferI honestly don't think so. I don't expect anyone not involved in this fairly niche 90s hobby to have details like that down.

[@bip321boom]

​@@luketfer I would have guessed that Mordheim came before Necromunda since fantasy is older than 40k.

[@darrylhilbig6459]

Necromunda is a spin-off from a game called Confrontation that was released in White Dwarf in a couple of instalments. Had a lot of percentage rolls.

[@markgroothuis8569]

@@rasmusolesen5307 sigh ... you make me feel old 😢

[@Squid-King]

I highkey want to see Jenn and Murray do their own Mordheim warbands. That would be such a good video!

[@lemcrossview5358]

Learning about Mordheim gave me a reason to use my beastmen for more than Warhammer underworlds, and kitbashing opportunities

[@frankling.robertsiii6811]

Beautiful sculpt selections, and smashing paint job on the whole lot! It’s been ages since I’ve played Mordhiem. Watching your videos, and those on Miscast, has me watching more videos on board and terrain building for the game; I want to bring Mordhiem to my local group to play… Thank You ❤

[@Alvaro4034]

Great project! I would like to see some Frostgrave too.

[@rhenford3687]

Gunpowder weapons are for late game dave... after a good chunk of the campaign is done and their leader is decked in heavy Armour, you'll see the benefit. Or if your fighting a vampire in game 1 they can be pretty useful lol

[@kwest9747]

I’d be tempted to stash them in a treasury while waiting for a marksman to promote himself to a worthy status. Shooting and speed or even shooting and academic.

[@83Ironside]

The black powder weapons will feel rubbish at the start... but as enemies start buying armour, the additional penetrative is a godsend.

[@TabletopTime]

It doesnt help that I hit 1/20 shots

[@83Ironside]

@@TabletopTime no plan survives contact with the enemy... or dice.

[@kwest9747]

One in twenty is plenty!

[@glenbaker4364]

When Nordheim first came out, I was given half a box of Skaven Clan Rats and had a wonderful time. I wish I still had those models, I would love to play a campaign again.

[@ChristopherDunkle]

Squig stuffy!!!! The bases for the figures were amazing. Jenn did a great job. The girly vs grimdark contrast was amusing as she placed skulls with her perfectly manicured nails. Loved the finished figures and their names.

[@Miscast]

Lets play again already!!!

[@rupertjones5197]

frank drebin🤣🤣🤣 that’s an awfully big moustache!!

[@stuartbanana5083]

Loving the resurgence of Mordheim!! That Warband looks amazing too! You guys crushed it! I have been putting together a few warbands to have when my friends come e over. Pick up and play a impromptu campaign whenever we get together

[@brianmoyachiuz905]

In the Mordheim video game, I made my Mercenaries band color red, white, and blue 🇺🇸 And yes, they're gun slingers and gun sniper/shotgunners

[@MisterTingles]

the gunpowder weapons feeling less worth it than the crossbows does feel like a feature that reinforces the setting though, sorta at the cusp of gunpowder weapon development surpassing the established arms, but just not there yet. kinda reminiscent of Princess Mononoke (or the whole Sengoku Jidai period of transition), or the first couple of Assassin's Creed settings, where they were incredibly niche and cumbersome, but incredibly killy at the same time, and slowly got more commonplace as those few obsessed tinkerers kept improving the tech for both the betterment and detriment of society... very grimdank 💀

[@axelhackbarth9559]

Hey, some nice pics of Leif's terrain from the youtube channel Devs and Dice... you've got to check out his terrain builing instructions for Mordheim.

[@idiotproofdalek]

Mordheim is like the Star Wars Prequels, not very good at the time, not very good now, but people are all nostalgic and have ‘the feels’ about it.

[@nerdinebe]

Those puns were awful, excellent work. And gosh, Jen's painting is so good to watch.

[@sadlyanuxtakustan8950]

Montgomery Python is just brilliant.

[@stevenbach312]

My biggest complaint about Mordheim was the ever present "quality of quantity" issue. 5 dwarfs versus 12 skaven was a lost cause. As I remember, I had to only lose 2 stunties compared to 5+ ratboys to automatically break and leave the field. Plus the inequality of objective taking just left a bad taste in my gaming mouth. Loved the terrain: something they need to start thinking about returning to.

[@drfishynooooo881]

Great Sigmars Wyrdstones that's one awesome looking table to play on

[@arimidfallcrowley]

Dave the names are amazing, best part of the video

[@NisGaarde]

3:20 Necromunda (1995) is actually the predecessor to Mordheim (1999) 🙂

[@soapy5365]

Mordheim looks like so much fun! I love skirmish games over big games like 40k because you just get to add so much more character to your models

[@Tardytime]

I know its been in a few videos now; but I just wanted to mention that I really like your new hair Dave, it looks really good on you!

[@mikewicked.x]

Necromunda was the predecessor to Mordheim, not the other way around. (And Confrontation and Gang War were before Necromunda too.) Gorka Morka was also before Mordheim. You're not wrong about the new player gotchas - even in Necromunda this is a problem, and quite honestly a plasma gun is a terrible starter weapon too. :P (Imo, I'm sure there'll be people who love the thing, but I've killed way more of my own gangers than enemies with the damn things.)

[@ThePatientHunter]

That's why I love plasma because of that swing

[@mikewicked.x]

@@ThePatientHunter it doesn't stop me taking it either. :D

[@MrCiscito]

I knew you'd be hooked as soon as you played. Would love to see more Mordheim from you guys. It would be great to see everyone's bands.

[@BrushpointJ]

I'd love to see more Mordheim, and Mordheim battle reports would be VERY cool! It might be extra work, but seeing the 'before they go in' and then the modifications for their sustained wounds wound be VERY cool to see!

[@forgefathervulkanhestan18]

The last video really got me into Mordheim. I'm thinking about getting myself a Kislevite warband from etsy for christmas.

[@BelIa42]

seems like a great game. I really like that the minis keep changing though it would probably be hard for me to cut a leg of :D Awesome names, too! I'd really like to see Jenn's and Murray's take on their warbands :)

[@calvinburditt4260]

Mordheim and Frostgrave are my go to games. i have a skaven and Dwarven warbands for mordheim. built an amazing board as well for it took me quite some time got a lot of inspiration from Devs and Dice and Eric's hobby workshop

[@positivegeekery]

Mordheim is amazing. However if you like all the things that you listed here....TRY GORKAMORKA!!! same narrative love, but more fun setting

[@Crushanator1]

Gorkamorka is incredible and there's SO many fantastic new plastic official kits and resin 3D prints that'd be fantastic to play in a modern version. Plus it has what may be the single best wargame rule of all time: Trukks can hold as many orks as they can physical fit, and if any orks fall off during the trucks move, the orks have fallen off where the model lies, and take damage based on how far the Truck has moved so far It's stupid as hell and I love it.

[@THEgameRKadzz]

Very nice. Cant wait for more battle reports and vids of warhammer games and show more of your guys armies. Cant wait for the next vid

[@7nineofspades5]

I've been playing Mordheim campaigns pretty consistently since 1999, I love it. I live in Melbourne too so let me know if you've got a spot for another gamer in your campaign :D

[@Grzybasek]

I would love to see some Mordheim battle reports. You can also check Frostgrave - it's a similar game, but with better rules. Ps. Jen's nails are so beautifully done!

[@WBenIB]

I'm hoping to get my Sisters of Sigmar warband (using converted Novitiates) finished and on the table before the end of the year to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Mordheim.

[@Squidriddle]

Jenn and Murray need qarbands get the whole group out here. Warhammer fantasy was my first introduction to warhammer, and I'll always have a soft spot for anything that lets me have fun in fantasy. No hate to 40k i love that too.

[@hephesto555666]

Good is relatively, the game rules definitely show their age. But that's not what Mordheim is about, it's about being creative with everything from models and terrain to wacky adventures and houseruling the crap out of the game. It's about the journey of your and your friends' bands of misfits that will end up having unique stories tied to specific games and campaigns. Unlike a lot of current GW franchises, Mordheim was more designed with the sandbox idea in mind. The designers wanted folks to go as mad with the game as they themselves were allowed to go. Mordheim has none of today's cynical notes and bitter GW after taste. ;-)

[@MidgardSurvival]

Im just wondering if the grizzled swordsman has ever drunk Baileys from a shoe…

My fondest memories of tabletop gaming are from Mordheim. GWs greatest ever game.. Both excited to see if GW redo it but also sceptacle that modern GW will ruin it and milk it into the ground.

yesssss more Mordheim!

[@krinkrin5982]

In my first ever game of Gorkamorka I lost in the second turn. The next game lasted like seven turns and I managed to win by downing all opposition. These games are very fast, so loosing one isn't a big deal.

[@WaldoWally]

I wonder if Frostgrave offers all the benefits of Mordheim without the drawbacks. Having played it, I would assume so. However, I've never played Mordheim. Frostgrave already satisfies my need for narrative based campaign skirmish games

[@bergeaadland6648]

🎉 more mordheim please 🎉

[@WilliamBrownMBA]

I gotta look at Mordheim warbands.

[@vdgjolly]

I am still sad that they stopped the Warhammer MMO. Imagine that they instead had introduced Mordheim as a variation to the original MMO.

[@noe.hammer]

The idea of Mordheim is a lot more fun than the game system really is. Force Trent to play Forbidden Psalm with you instead next time

[@altarofthedeadgods_wargame]

mordheim has a very robust and fun campaign system, but the moment to moment action on the table is not as cool as I hoped. lots of nothing happening, :/ I love the modeling and terrain building aspects of it, though!

[@ericmoveon]

Bet handguns wern't nich if you're were facing an armoured knight two games in the future. And ya you always saw a mix of handguns and crossbows in the 16th century, matchlock weapons kind of suck.

[@zygoatindustries]

very cool

[@timidwolf]

My only real issue with Mordheim is the henchmen "units". They can promote to hero level in the warband (this is good), but such is advancement, mixed with their starting stats, they will still be so much weaker than other heroes even at the same of higher level. There are also a limited number of hero slots to fill so you're trying to save those for the actual hero units, which you need to save up for. Would be much better if it had something similar to the juves in Necromunda.

[@TabletopTime]

They do, Young Bloods - I've got 2 of them. Most warbands should absolutely buy as many (5/6) heroes as they can right away

[@timidwolf]

@@TabletopTime when I last played (admittedly awhile ago), most warbands were still very limited there. And for some warbands even the cheapest heroes could be very expensive and above that 'young blood' level, practically resulting in not having those options.

[@Crushanator1]

I think modern advice is "always take maximum heroes" for essentially every warband. Undead might be an outlier to do 2 heroes and a horde

[@animusvids]

I really love the concept, the lore and the minis, but I do not like the crunchy ruleset
