THIS is why Mordheim is the greatest game ever made | Mordheim 2022 Invitational

In this video I travel to the most incredible wargaming event I have ever attended: Mordheim 2022 in Houston Texas. It was an incredible weekend of great games, incredible miniatures and terrain and great people!

Eric... how DARE you say this is better than Necromunda! I'm appalled. I'm disappointed.

[@chimera916]

​@@-VOR Sorry bruh... But it is really better than any other games... Mordheim is the best skirmish ever created

[@-VOR]

@@chimera916 I REALLY want to play it. It looks freaking awesome! Currently arbitrating a Necromunda Succession Campaign, when its over, I plan to bring Mordhiem up to the group. Half love and play Cursed City...so lol I think that'll help sell it?

Mordhiem is a shining example of a game from the “golden era” of Workshop. The original game designers, sculptors and artists should be proud

[@mgregory82]

I still own the original box. Its a great game.

[@Xian109]

great theme and setting but the rules are quite terrible!

[@TaRAAASHBAGS]

@@Xian109 Seems to be a GW trend. Good thing is fans can fine-tune numbers easily themselves.

[@Amin-al-Husseini_1941picture]

I really love the mobile version, but its just limited arena version, the enemies allways run away too quickly, and the game tries to overbalance your characters. so much as a single sniper rifle on some low level dude and youre up against a fleet of armored dwarves or a vampire

[@davidreese6519]

@@Xian109 If you don't mind elaborating, what was terrible about the rules?

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Yeah, it was so cool to see some of these beauties in person

[@CommanderCheapSkate]

This is what I love about miniatures wargaming! You can throw a room full of strangers together and by the end of it have a blast at the same time. Gaming is fun, but the friends we make along the way is better!

That's what got me into playing Warhammer and not just reading the books, the players are great and friendly.

@@larrymanns364 What are your fav Warhammer books? I haven't even tried them out yet.

[@ArcticonComp]

Tuomas Pirinen has been in awe that people still play this classic game. He's active in the roleplaying scene in Finland, so one might run into him in events here. He loaned the original cover art painting to the Finnish Museum of Games at some point. It just floored me, because I didn't expect that when visiting.

[@ScratchAttackTV]

Spaniards fighting each other is totally accurate. It's amazing how Mordheim still enlightens creativity 20 years later.

[@DarkAgesWorkshop]

Such a unique experience! I'm happy I did my part while not being able to participate. I was heartbroken to refuse the invitation but life gets in the way. Thank you for showcasing my Cult of the Possessed played by Jon! He's such a sweet person, like a brother to me. Thanks for the video and for bringing us with you there!

[@tabletop.wizards]

Great job, Eric! I love the bit with you laughing with Mark. That really encapsulates the whole week for me!

[@Moshartz]

That was one hell of a game though haha. Loved it

[@shawnjensen8398]

The community is why I still play my Possessed warband every weekend. Have a lot of fun every time.

[@vagabondprime1691]

I love Mordheim with my whole heart, and up until recently I had high hopes that GW would bring it back... but seeing all the cool stuff the community has been doing to keep this awesome game alive, I would love to see it stay with the fans! Great video, thank you!

[@Moshartz]

Thank you so much. It was worth the travel and meeting you guys was amazing. Hope to do it again soon and meet you. Our game was indeed hilarious 🤣

[@keirandromgool]

The rotating view on multiple, truly inspiring warbands, was much appreciated. Amazing to get a good look at these lovingly converted and painted warbands.

[@DungeonMasterpiece]

That modular table construction is brilliant!

[@meanderingshade]

This meet-up looks absolutely phenomenal! It has been amazing seeing some of the most wonderful hobbyists across the community coming together and creating an event that we could also live vicariously through all over social media. Thanks for taking the time to record some visuals of this spectacle for us too, take care ;)

[@Sevaerg]

Simply put: one of the most uplifting, informative, and inspiring videos of seen on KZbin for ages.

[@danielhenderson8000]

Mordheim is a perfect example of a system that has been taken over by the community in the best way. IMO, wargaming is best when the hobby and the community are at the forefront and the terrain and warbands show this off in SPADES! My god, so much gorgeous stuff. I would love to dabble in this level of wargaming, but games like these aren't SUPER popular. Even Kill Team and Warcry haven't taken off. We have a few Frostgrave players and I might just have to dip into that more, but this video is an absolute treat to see either way. Keep it up, can't wait to see what you make with terrain!

[@alexanderlicentia5265]

1:04 As a Texan I see nothing wrong with those portions.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Nothing wrong at all! Just maybe too much to also order an appetizer 😅

Mordheim is the only rule book that captures the total madness that is Warhammer old world.

[@kristianeriksen9590]

So nice of you to shout out other creators like those Wier brother. Really amazing the kind of family this hobby can inspire

[@EricWier]

Wow, thanks for doing such a lovely job capturing the essence of the event! It was really something special that reminds me why this hobby is so unique. Cheers!

[@CharlesJankowski]

Hey Eric, this was an incredible vid, thanks for sharing your experience! I wanted to say that I appreciate how respectful you come across when speaking about so many other people. I know this hobby is generally praised for how wholesome its participants can be, and I definitely see that in other creators too, but stuff like this is really wonderful to see. Thanks for sharing the info of not only the players but the artists and event organizers and game creators, and sharing them with language that accentuates all the amazing different things that everyone brings to this shared hobby!

[@Schizopantheist]

Fantastic and inspiring video. You're the person who got me into Mordheim (I asked you about round vs square bases) and now I have more than a dozen warbands (with various bases, though mostly not painted yet) and am working on terrain. Hopefully I can make it to an event like this one day. Great to see this channel grow connect with others. Thanks!

[@mattiasgamin9640]

Such a great video that not only gave a great account of the event itself but also gave a very positive “pay it forward” kind of hobby vibe. Love it. Gave me inspiration aswell.

[@Bobdd0]

Thank you so much for showing off SO much of the other players and terrain, your care and kindness in this action makes this window into the hobby feel so much bigger and kinder. My local shop just had a mordhiem campaign that i was enraptured bye, even though i could not join this time. I look forward to diving into it in the future

[@KnarbMakes]

Dude, you met Karl Urban? Thats sweet. The tournament looked cool too.

[@angol5762]

I didn't know you could take Mordheim so far, I have no words

[@testaccount6295]

This is really cool to see. Mordheim is the game that my friends got me into the hobby with about 3 years ago. Mini painting and terrain building is now one of my favorite hobbies and I owe it all to Mordheim.

[@willmendoza8498]

Mordheim is my favorite miniature game of all time. Haven't played in more than a decade, but I still think about it.

Would love to see more of that modular board with all the trapezoid tiles and how it works! The whole weekend looks so epic

[@ironbomb6753]

The amount of talent and passion for the hobby gathered together like this must have been incredible. I miss Mordheim, have sold my stuff years ago. Some of it went to hobbyists world wide. Nice vid Eric. 👍

[@jessehenao4555]

what a great video, thank you so much for sharing all this. and props to everyone involved in the invitational ! I only know mordheim from afar, love the setting and the aesthetics but I've always been afraid by all the rules etc. but now I actually feel like i'm gonna get into it and get my own warband !

[@GigaSchnitzel]

that video was just wholesome mate, enjoyed seeing you all have fun with these absolutely georgious tables

Whoa! Pro tip for magnet bases: put a circle of felt under the base for an extra finish and to protect the magnet from falling off.

[@TheCoachBrendan]

First time to your channel. Never played or seen Mordheim played, but I've loved the idea of it and really love all the beautiful terrains people make for it. Even though I don't play miniature wargames I do paint terrain so seeing this brought a smile to my face. Thanks for taking time to focus on the paint jobs and creativity of the miniatures and terrain. Enjoyed watching, cheers!

[@zakhunt]

Such an amazing video and event, thanks for sharing Eric! I haven't actually played a game of Mordheim in 20+ years, but I'm still building and painting warbands all the time, just because the setting is so damn cool that I never want to leave it. Love your work and the passion you show for this incredible game, keep it up!

[@alrethianscraftsbattles]

Mordheim is a fantasytic game, the setting is so cool and the terrain options are endless. So cool to meet Karl Urban haha. Ofcourse let us not forget Necromunda, which is a close competitor for Mordheim, not similar games but both equally awesome 😉👍

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

They are both very close to my heart ❤️

Amazing stuff! This is probably the ideal gaming experience for me. Scenic tables, narrative, skirmish level, chill atmosphere, all the good stuff!

[@camwardart]

We just finished our year long mordheim league a day ago, 14 games and everyone started fresh out of their books on gold and xp. It is such a fantastic game. Some players first time trying the game, or first time ever playing in a mordheim continuation campaign. Golden era of games workshop.

[@camwardart]

Make the hobby grow!

[@jtrain9926]

Great vid, those boards and warbands look amazing! I was inspided by your last Mordheim video to put together 2 gangs and my box set terrain for a boardgame day with a friend and we both really enjoyed it. I had a blast since converting the warbands and by luck my FLGS is starting a campaign this winter. My Reikland warband is now preparing to reclaim the honor and fortune of their leader, the disgraced Graf of Hasslichwald.

[@hatefuldisplay]

Looks awesome. I might have to look into this as another way to make use of the miniatures I paint for D&D and Pathfinder. Thank you for sharing!

[@williamowens5144]

I still have my original Mordheim rulebook. Tried so many times over the years to get friends into it, and there was always a lot of interest until I started talking about painting minis, building some terrain, and setting up a time to play - and then everyone was suddenly busy with other things to do.

[@Mara999]

So many cool warbands and such lovely terrain. The Mad Count and his retinue reminds me of the vampires in Darkest Dungeon. Mordheim and DD are very similar to begin with, but it would be fun to convert warbands and random encounters based on DD.

[@euansmith3699]

It must be really weird for Karl Urban to have to navigate the world, one selfie to the next. I'm reminded of M Bison's quote, "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday." Very cool, though! 10:00 That converted sorcerer in red is a great, "simple" bit of work.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

I didn’t even ask him to take a photo, i kind of started to raise my phone and he preemptively said “of course mate”. He was very cool and very nice. He seemed genuinely happy that i spoke to him, but even still i left him alone after a very quick interaction just out of respect. I have been a big fan since The Two Towers and I just couldn’t resist

[@euansmith3699]

@@EricsHobbyWorkshop That's great. I like it when my favourite actors don't turn out to be asshats.

[@christopherglade5693]

I played in a Mordheim tournament years ago with my dad, my orc warband had a story built around it and i bought new models to fit them it, such as savage orcs and taking the skull drum and using it as a helmet for a hero. It was some of the most fun I had with tabletop. If i get the chance to be in another that would be amazing!

[@Tharukan]

I really love the look and flair of Mordheim, the setting, the terrain, the narrative play, the campaign rules, the warbands and the amount of individualisation and so much more.. But I just don't know if I can deal with "I go, you go" anymore. That's really something I hate in gaming systems nowadays... Amazing event and amazing video, love to see this amount of enthusiasm from all over the world for something in one room! :)

[@DocHuckleberry09]

Hey Eric, really appreciate your content! Your terrain videos have inspired me to do some awesome stuff of my own. I really hope that your involvement in your local game stores means that we could potentially get more Mordheim content! This game is super interesting and I’ve always wanted to give it a shot, but getting a window into Mordheim via the content you make is a close second 💙

[@TroyHardingLit]

Haven't watched the video yet, but I already know it will be a banger. Mordheim was a golden moment in my childhood. I never had the resources to put together a full warhammer army, but Mordheim? Me and a few friends around a table in the basement. Setting up our warbands, hunting for warpstone, weaving stories about our characters as they accumulated wounds and experience. Damn, it was good. Amazing times.

[@brucemcbride3308]

You got me, Eric! Now I have to go grab a copy of Mordheim rules and give it a go again even though I haven't played it since like 1998! The terrain tables at that Invitational were just sick, and I have to be a part of that!
