VonVilkee Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 You lack the proper leverage to punt a goblin :p. Even if your stunties were tall enough the squigs will keep you in line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koyote Posted July 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 What does everyone think of the new proposed schedule? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I'd be down for it, Witch Hunters as usual, but ... I agree that 10 or 9 weeks is pretty long. I can't promise I won't poop out. 6 weeks seems to be pretty reasonable if you want sustained play. The other thing is, I thought we were gearing up for an Infinity campaign? We've been talking about an Infinity campaign in the fall that for aeons, since before the TNT campaign. Could the Mordheim campaign be delayed until after that?

nathonicus Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I would be in! I definitely want to do the infinity league first though. I also think nine weeks would exceed my attention span Dash around six I think it’s perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyote Posted July 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 On 7/21/2018 at 9:49 AM, Koyote said: The most appealing part of campaigns involving warbands that can grow and develop, like TNT & Mordheim, is experiencing the warband's evolution. IMHO, 6 games is not enough time to see much growth. A while back Jim Graham proposed holding a monthly campaign night and then stretching that campaign out over the course of several months. This provides players with their monthly Mordheim fix and the freedom to participate in other activities. For those who use campaigns as motivation to paint a warband, this would give them more time to do so. It also gives players more time to get in any catch-up games. We could play 2 games a month during the months of October, November, December, and January. The first Tuesday of each of those months would be the official campaign night. On that day, I will announce the two scenarios for that month. In theory, players will each get through at least one scenario that night and then since many of the campaign participants will be there, players will then have the opportunity to find another opponent and schedule their second game. @JMGraham and @nathonicus what do you think about the 2-games-per-month format described above? If it interferes with the Infinity league, we could push it back further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I like the proposed 2 games a month structure. Great mix of commitment and open ended design. Mostly I'm just super excited to participate in one of these little skirmish games with Koyote calling the shots been jealous of the good times in previous ones.

Ser Warwick Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 The second proposal, with a monthly campaign night + free game, looks to be the most happy medium. Enough structure to keep up interest balanced with enough freedom for the wandering mind of a Warhamster. Might be able to overlap it somewhat with the Infinity League as well? Assuming both are relatively freeform. I do want to play some more Infinity as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiccus Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 I need to get the full details hammered out, but my plan was to start the infinity league on August 28th so that DT can properly advertise it and newbies can get models.

Not that it's a huge consideration since there are so few of us going, but I may miss opening night. The world may continue to turn.

Koyote Posted July 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Infinity ends Oct 2, so I propose we kick off the Mordheim campaign on Oct 9 (no rest for the wicked) and thereafter, Mordheim night will be the second Tuesday of each month. I've loosened up the the list of allowable warbands. The additions are in red text Arabian Tomb Raiders (TC 20) Averland Mercenaries (TC 10) Battle Monks of Cathay (BTB) Beastmen Raiders (TC 29) Black Orcs (Nemesis Crown) Bretonnian (TC 08) <-- warband caps at 15 not 12 Carnival of Chaos (TC 27) Clan Pestilens (TC 29) Cult of the Possessed Dark Elves (TC 12) Dwarf Rangers (Nemisis Crown) Dwarf Treasure Hunters (TC 04) Forest Goblins (Nemesis Crown) Gunnery School of Nuln (Nemesis Crown) Hochland Bandits (Nemesis Crown) Horned Hunters (Nemesis Crown) Kislevite (TC 16) Lizardmen (TC 11) Marauders of Chaos (BTB) Marienburg Mercenaries Middenheim Mercenaries Miragleans Tilieans (TC 14) Night Goblins (new) (see Broheim) Orc Mob (TC 06) Ostlander Mercenaries (TC 11) Outlaws of the Stirwood Forest (TC 29) Norse Explorers (TC 13) Pirates (TC 09) Pit Fighters (TC 21) Reikland Mercenaries Remasens Tileans (TC 14) Restless Dead (BTB) Shadow Warriors (TC 10) <-- warband caps at 10 not 12 Sisters of Sigmar Skaven Skaven Clan Pestilens (TC 29) Trantios Tileans (TC 14) Undead Witch Hunters <-- warband caps at 15 not 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is 7 short bows too many? I don't think so. The range is short and if players are using cover, in most instances you'll need 6s to hit. Plus, its unreasonable to expect a WS 2 goblins to be melee oriented. Also, based upon my experiences from the last campaign, players need to make better use of the hide rule. I notice that the Night Goblin's animosity rule differs from the standard animosity rules that apply to Orc & Goblin warbands (TC 6) and Forest Goblin warband (NC). I'd like for you to use the standard animosity rules found in TC 6. Speaking of Forest Goblins, I've always loved the look of them but never had a reason to collect and paint them. My next Mordheim warband may end up being forest goblins. It's a shame Shieldwolf Minaitures' forest goblin Kickstarter failed. Lovely models.

You interested in some gw metal forest goblins from 5th ed? I saw some in my boots when I was filtering through for all my moon clan. Not enough for a full band but a few. Also sounds good on the animosity. Be aware that night goblins have a special skill to increase the range of missiles by 6" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, archery is how Night Goblins compensate for their low WS, LD, and Animosity, so I think lots of goblin bows will be just fine -especially once your goblins start shooting one another. 🙂 Just curious, does your starting list include a Troll?

Koyote Posted August 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Here's the list of players who've expressed interest in the campaign. Koyote -Kislevites VonVilkee -Night Goblins Wiccus -Ostlander Mercenaries JMGraham -Witch Hunters Sherbert -Witch Hunters (Since Jim is using Witch Hunters I recommend he try Averlanders) Scipiano -Human Mercenaries or Chaos Marauders DuskSeer - Middenheim Mercenaries Sigurd BC - Dwarf Treasure Hunters The Rat Catchers - Pirates Smashthedean - Beastmen Raiders Munkie - Pit Fighters Nathonicus - ? The Moat -Black Orcs GalaxyChief - Bretonnians We need more warbands tainted by Chaos so my Cossacks have someone to hate. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
