Scenarios
Adepted and updated Master Scenario list from the Mordheimer, with tons of additions! A ✓ will indicate which Scenarios have accessible PDF's!
- Mordheim Rulebook
- • Defend The Find, by the Mordheim Development Team
- Often a warband finds a building with a hoard of
wyrdstone or other treasure inside, only to be
challenged by a rival warband. This usually leads to
conflict as it is unlikely that either side will be willing
to give up the wealth easily.
- • Skirmish, by the Mordheim Development Team
- In the vastness of the Mordheim ruins there is always
the risk of running into a rival warband. While two
groups sometimes pass each other without a fight,
more often than not there is a vicious battle amongst
the ruins. If a warband can drive their rivals away, they
will have a larger area in which to search for
wyrdstone.
- • Wyrdstone Hunt, by the Mordheim Development Team
- Scattered in the ruins of Mordheim are innumerable
tiny shards of priceless wyrdstone. It often happens
that two warbands come upon the same area and only
a battle can determine who will pick the spoils.
- • Breakthrough, by the Mordheim Development Team
- When news of a huge deposit of wyrdstone starts
circulating, warbands will mount expeditions to
unearth the wealth. However, their rivals often try to
block them, eager to claim all the wyrdstone for
themselves.
- • Street Fight, by the Mordheim Development Team
- Often two warbands will come face to face with each
other in the narrow streets of Mordheim. Sometimes
they pass each other without incident but more often
the meeting ends in bloodshed.
- • Chance Encounter, by the Mordheim Development Team
- Both warbands have completed their daily search of
the ruins and are on their way back to their
encampment when they run into each other. Neither
side was expecting a fight, and the warband that
reacts the quickest has the advantage.
- • Hidden Treasure, by the Mordheim Development Team
- There is a rumour that one of the ruined buildings
has a concealed cellar with a treasure chest hidden in
it. Two rival warbands have heard about the cellar and
are now searching the area. Who knows what they will
find?
- • Occupy, by the Mordheim Development Team
- This scenario takes place in a part of Mordheim where
the buildings are bursting with shards of wyrdstone
and other wealth. Taking and holding these buildings
means that your warband gains rich pickings.
Unfortunately, your opponent has the same idea.
- • Surprise Attack, the by Mordheim Development Team
- One warband is out searching the ruins of Mordheim
for loot when it is attacked by an enemy warband. The
defenders are spread thinly and must muster a
defence quickly to drive off their attackers.

- • Ambush Assassinaire, by Christian Ellegaard ✘
- This is a modified, but heavily based version of Christian’s “The Ambush” from his “Welcome To Mordheim” campaign. I’ve written a fairly detailed description here as the text is somewhat confusing. It may be just as well to check out Christian Ellegaard’s original version on Archive Pestilens. The attackers are placed within 2” of any table edge except for the gate edge. Defenders are split into 3 groups, (i) two “Marksmen” (or best equivalent) placed within 2” of a table edge containing an exit gate, (ii) two “Swordsmen” (or best equivalent) placed at the centre of the table, (iii) the remainder placed wherever the player chooses. All defenders must be placed at least 8” from the defenders. The warband leader must be placed at least 16” away from the Marksmen & Swordsmen. The Marksmen & Swordsmen groups are each allocated a sub-leader, both of whom are placed 2” from the warband leader. All defenders must be placed at least 8” from the attackers. The Marksmen & Swordsmen are then scattered D6”. The Marksmen & Swordsmen must rally or flee directly away from the nearest enemy, as per All Alone tests. This continues until they pass a Ld test. Once within 2” of their appointed sub-leader they automatically rally. Defenders win by getting the Marksmen, Swordsmen & respective sub-leaders within 6” of the warband leader. Attackers win by killing the Marksmen & Swordsmen, or having them flee from the board. Phew.

- Skirmish set in Mordheim’s Steinhardt Memorial Gardens. Warriors within 2” of a tree or bush receive hits from the chaos-wracked foliage.
- • The Bodyguards, by Kurtis Burdau
- Town Cryer edit of "Now Keep Me Safe, You Hear!?" (see entry 165).

Play the original version – it’s more fun.

- • Blood Hunt, by Mark Havener, et al.
- Clashing warbands gain the help of a Dramatis Personae, most likely Johann The Knife & Marriana Chevaux, free of charge. Take out the opponent’s Dramatis Personae to win.

- • Bounty Hunting, by Mark Havener, et al.

- Massive multi-warband gang fight based upon the “Gangs Of New York” film, complete with special rules for horde fighting. Recommended for 3-6 warbands per side. Could work as a massive end-of-campaign scenario (e.g. all the good warbands vs. all the chaos warbands) or as a one-off.

- Warbands attempt to carry a heavy chest from the board. If the chest is not carried off before the battle finishes then the surviving warband does NOT get the chest. Two or multiplayer.
- • The Game, by Wrath ✓
- Two things going on here; 1. Three wyrdstone shards in each players deployment zone. If a shard is picked up, the warband whose zone it is will automatically rout on their turn. So guard those shards!; 2. A warrior must touch the prickly “Pillar of Pain” for 2 consecutive turns to win the game and gain an artifact. Apparently very difficult to pull off but fun to try. Multiplayer.
- • Treachery, by Wrath ✓
- Multiplayer. Warbands start with 1-6 random warriors missing. Each player secretly draws a red or black playing card to become part of the black alliance or the red alliance. When warbands are within Initiative distance they may compare colors. If they match they may ally. If they don’t they may not. If an attack is made against another warband of the same color that warband is declared a traitor and may ally with no-one. Ingenious!

- For three warbands or teams of warbands. One warband/team must protect a cowering merchant, another must carry him alive from the battlefield while a third must sever his head and remove it from the table. If the merchant is killed then racking for the severed head and carrying it from the table becomes the focus of the scenario. Possibly the origins of the sport of Bloodbowl.
