 The fi rs t thing Ihat strikes you about Mordheim , Cit}' of (he
Damned, before you 've even opened [he box, is the anwork on the
lid. JUSt take a moment to look at all lhe weird little details - like
the warrio r with a eat's head , or the pig in a glass box, or the [arot
cards .. . Gcoff Taylar has really Olltdo ne himself this lime! But let 's see
what's inside.

Onc hundred a nd sevem y-sLx pages, packe d w ith ruies, background , and
more amazing amvork. Here's h ow it breaks down :
Rules: This bit covers all you need to know to play a game of Mordheim -
Movement, Shooting, and Close Combat , plus Leade rs hip and Psychology,
lIsing different wcapons, anuor and other eqUipmen t, and finall y Magic (look
OU I for some tasty spells!) .

Warbands : How 10 go about hiring, arming and equipping your own band of
cut-throat warriors. You can c hoose from Human Mercenaries, the Cull of the
Possessed, Witch Hume rs, the Sisters o f Sigmar, Undead, and Skaven. and each
warband has He roes and Henchmen with their own special abilities and skills.
Campaigns: This pan o f the book details how to run a series o f linked games,
involving a numbe r of players, in which your warbands will gain experience fro m
fighting batt..les, carn income. recruit extra warriors, and learn new s kiUs and
spells. The re arc nine challe nging scenarios in which to test your skill and the
might of your warband, plus rules for Hired Swords and speciaJ characters w ho may
fight on your side - for a price.

The box contains enough sprues to build eight lOugh human

Th e fi rst thi ng yo u
will need to lXm sider is
which of th t: eight
warbands listed in the
game you would like ro play.
For me the choice was easy;
ovcr the p.lSt (\\"0 years I have
been stead ily collecling and
building up a Ska vcn arm y for
Warhammer. and I have grown
somewhat allached (Q thesc vile, plague

under·empire o f the Slain:n into the streets of Mo rdheim
could not be missed. If. duc 10 some parlicularly unforlunate
genetic defecl, you don't fan (.1' a Skavcn warband (who
wouldn 't, with their cute, curly lails and sharp bUI appealing
teeth) , rou might want to Iry a different warband . The huma n
models included wi th the game can be used to make ehhe r
an eagle-t:yed, professio nal band of Rciklanders or :, strong·

you also ha\'e the choice of fana tical Whch Hunters, pio lls
Sisters o f Sigmar, reslless Undead, deformed !'ossessed , or
lhe wealthy Marienburgers. Whichever w;.trba nd you decide
to use, you w ill stand no chance against Ihe Ska\"cn and the
might of the ,"Iorned I{at. AflCr all , finding wyrdsto ne is what
the Sk:lven do best.
Now th:u you ha\'e wisely chosen to fight with a Ska\'cn
w·. trband, you nced 10 assemble it. I ho pe the following
advice ,\~IJ help you in your efforts.

weapons and equipme nl a re to be s hown on (ite models. It
w ill also ;llIow you to d evelop an e ffective. cohesivc forct: . If
you assemble your models first and lhen try to work out your
warband to fit those models, you can be su re you will nOt
h:l\"t: the funds 10 buy the equipment you ha\·e stuck 0 11 your
warriors. And it is ;'llmOSI certain you will have asse mbled
models with weapo ns and equi pme m to tally uns uitable for
your lactical preferences. This will resu lt in rime-consuming
alterations, that could so easily 1t;lve been avoided if rou had

I ha\'e played a few g:tllll'S of Mordhcim before, while the
game W'.lS going through the rigors of playtesting, and' have
recently put lOgether a Skal'Cn warb:md of my own, 'The
Black Shit'lds', for the SlUdio Mordhcim campaign
The fir.;1 thing , did was to gel together the SlUdio's

10 fighl against AIe,sio's RcikJandcrs. The :,uperhl) p:tintL-d

game, !>Culpted by Aty Morri:>on , :md the fantastic met:d

were far 100 tcmpting

The plan for the fight Ls Simple:

Ordering his mc.n to move forward deeper into !.he ruins, he signalled the Marksmen (0 mke
up positions whh good lines of sight. !.uthor himself led his second in command, Ila ns
Krieg, a nd the newest of his recruits, I:ranz, toward the nearest of the derelict ho uses.

·With none of the Reikla nders able to sce the Skavcn, they were unable to fire upon them
and their first turn e nded r:l.Iher quickly.

Following the c hillering

commands of the
Master Assassin Klawful, tJ1C Skaven prepared 10 close in on
the man- thi ngs as quickly as possible. The sooner tJle Ska\"cn
reached the humans. the better. ReikJanders wcre rightful1y
feared for the accuracy and deadliness ofthdr Marksnlen.

KJawful himself adva nced. protc.cted by twO of his Venninkin,

who he had promised to cut to shreds if they tried to dodge
any arrows. The Skavc.n leader a nd his bodyguards ran
towards the bridge which connected the ruined building
wi th a tall. blasted tower.

Using every nook and cranny for covcr, the resl of the Back
Slabbas lU"ld Night Runner Nikkit. led by Black Ska\'cn Skrilt.
made their way towards the Rciklanders in the middle.

Black Skavt:n Skratch silently (",m headlong towards the enemy, hidden from view by the largest of the ruins. The massive Ska\"cn
had SCt his eyes on the bowman hiding behind a ruined gate, Licking Ihe spikes of his wicked nail , the Skavcn made cenain that
any wounds he caused would become infected.

Meanwhile on the left, the Slitas, eager to gel into range

wilh their slings, headed tow-J.rds Ihe Reiklandcrs who
held positions in Ihe temple ruins above.

Seeing that he was omnumbcred, Luthor told his men

to seck cover and get ready to greet the Sk.wen with a
hall of arrows and crossbow bolts.

Captain LUlhor himself, followed by the Champion

Hans :rnd Youngblood Pram, took cover in a ruined
town house. Reading the anxiety and fcar in the
)'Oungsler's eyes, Luthor d(!dded to give the boy a bit of
encouragement. ~Watch me and learn," said I.uthor,
&!inning :11 the I'rembling youngster, 'i\nd if rou are
hard pressed, just throw them a bit of cheese - they'll
forget all about rou in an installll~ Gripping his spear
tightly, the Youngblood smiled weakly and nodded.

The Marksmen took up po~itions in cover, taking higher

ground where possible to get a clear line of sight to the
enemy with their bows and crossbows. At the cnd of the turn
the Rciklanders were in excellent positions [0 snipe al thc

Onc of the Marksmen drew a bead to a Ska"en, and fln..-d at

the Ska\·cn.

The Marksman standing near the carousel of skeletal horses

whispered a praycr 10 Sigmar, and took aim at one of the
Skaven shielding Klawfu1. 1 lis aim was true. and Ihe pitifullr
shrieking Skavcn fell, skewert;:d by an arrow Ihrough its thigh.
