7:32 The experience I had was, that mordheim is extremely fun when you play your warband like your character in a ttrpg, or even better like your npc-groups, if youve ever been the dm
Looking forward to seeing more of these videos. We played our first four scenarios the other day and were surprised at how easy it was to cause a rout. Not sure if we were missing something in the rules or not. My friends Reiklanders caused my undead to rout by just shooting at them as I tried to approach. My vampire was only Ld 8 and I failed first attempt at a rout test every game after my guys got repeatedly pummelled with guns trying to advance. We had a lot of terrain down, but I couldn't always hide. Not the best start D: Loved the warband management elements though.
Yes against Reiklanders it is important not to allow them to shoot at you too many rounds in a row, otherwise they will eventually land some hits. Remember there is the hide rule, which is great for advancing while avoiding enemy fire, even if it slows down the warband a little. As long as you have cover from all enemy models, and you did not run, you can declare yourself hidden, which prevents anyone from shooting at that model. Rout tests can happen quite suddenly once the action unfolds.
I don't mind long videos, but keeping a consistent upload schedule is beneficial for your channel growth so I understand 😉Looking forward to part 2! The part about playing to win but expecting to lose is a great point. I probably need to play skaven to be able to keep this mentality 😂 I'd get too invested in my Dwarfs or Middenlanders.
I love my skaven. Having 20 models on the table feels awesome while you are swarming your enemies. Just don't let yourself start taking rout tests before your opponent, because the low leadership of skaven will come to haunt you lol.
I like the tip of making sure you remind people of how you distinguish your models. For my first warband I painted the units with ranged attacks purple while the rest of my warband was red. And even painted any hero versions of henchmen models teal so I could tell at a glance and could inform my opponent of that same rule for myself.
Very good video! I started playing Mordheim when it came out, then after a long break, trying again a few years ago, but for me the rules are too complex. I really love the world of the game, I play it today with my group, but with other rules, simpler and more accessible.
I love the setting and the lore, but yes, the rules are certainly not the most simple to learn. But once you play a lot, you start to learn them by heart. Thanks for watching.
I don’t find Mordheim rules complicated but while I love the setting and warbands I don’t like the actual system. I can’t stand IGOUGO for a start. Which rules are you using? I’m thinking of having a look at Wiley Games Might & Melee.
Good video! Any of the games made back then (Mordheim, Necromunda and Blood Bowl) have more of a narrative focus to them which tends to go against people trying to power game through it. If you're fine with having fun & telling a collaborative story with other players then any of those 3 games will be a good pick. What's everyone's thoughts about trying the game out via the video game version??
I played the video game version pretty extensively. I love the art direction, the sound design, the environments, and almost everything as far as presentation goes. My only gripe is that it is much more complex than the tabletop game and the rules are in no way a translation. I am imagining a game that looks and sounds exactly like the video game, but uses the rules from the tabletop game, and I am upset that it doesn't exist. Imagine a rogue-like Mordheim video game with the same aesthetic as City of the Damned.
I've recently gotten into mordheim because of my friend and I'm loving it. My bretonnian questing knight has been taken out by squirrels twice now. An elf ranger sniped two models then failed to climb down a building and proceeded to knock himself out. Fun times
I was thinking about doing the rest of the 1a warbands and combining it with another video idea. I have a few other videos I am working on in the mean time, so we will see if I can get to that later.
@@GetTabled I got hooked but SummonLesserMaker Roll4Terrain challenge. So far I rolled Smithy and the Alchemist Laboratory…..now I’m hooked, should check his channel, it’s pretty cool.
Well I have already failed tip #1 a lot. I haven't gotten to play yet, but I have painted eight Warbands, working on the ninth and I have snot goblin terrain on the way. Once it's all ready I will play. Hopefully my friends will be wowed and enjoy it enough to keep playing.
Good luck and I hope you get some games in soon. In my own experience, I had to find players outside of my friend group, since none of my friends play war games.
I love the bean game! So many arguments with my family lol. My copy is in English, for I am in the United States. Jump into Mordheim as soon as you can! You can try it out solo too and it is still a good time.
You are very welcome. Most games are around 2 hours, especially for new players. But with experience and/or luck, you might have games as short as 30-45 minutes.
I got mine printed at an office supply store about 10 years ago. They usually have a few options for binding. I would recommend getting a spiral bound copy rather than a perfect bound copy like mine. Spiral bound allows the book to lay perfectly flat while it is open, making it easier to read as you play.
The nice way to start playing without spending a lot time and money it's Tabletop Simulator (Steam). Thats how i learn mechanics in game and try some warband before build them.

"Go into the game expecting something horrible to happen"
This is the best description of Mordheim I've ever heard.
It really is a comedy of errors lol
"Garage Sale at an insane asylum" 🤣🤣🤣
The best thing about mordheim is, when you find models inside ruins when clearing the table after a game.
Especially when it is a metal model and it clatters to the floor lol
Don’t mind the longer vids at all 🤘🏼 And solid advice. Keep it up!
Thanks!

Play to win but expect to lose is such a good advice in wargaming in general, and in Mordheim even more so. Thanks for yet another great video!
Thanks for watching. Mordheim is full of so many ups and downs, it will be impossible to enjoy yourself if you go in with a hyper competitive mindset.

“The Night of the Black Moon” Is that a new campaign book you’ve made? Are you holding out on us?

Subscribed for the channel name alone lolol. Great video!
Lol I have been tabled in Mordheim, maybe even more than once

awesome that you play bretonnians, are you using the original version or the bretonnian chapel guard?
Sounds like Mordheim is treated you about as well as one can expect lol. It really is a comedy of errors sometimes.
This is awesome. I was wondering if you would do the rest of the 1a warbands such as beastmen andaverlanders etc. thank you
I was thinking about doing the rest of the 1a warbands and combining it with another video idea. I have a few other videos I am working on in the mean time, so we will see if I can get to that later.
That is great congrats. I’m currently designing terrain to 3D print for Mordheim and making videos about it. Already got two of them on my channel
Awesome! I will have to check them out.

Hey it’s the bean game! Is your’s in German too? Excellent tips I need to work on tip #1, but I’ve played 5 Parsecs from Home so I’m confident!

Hey, thanks for the nice videos and advice. Will try to play a game with random stuff soon !
What is the usual length of a game anyway ?
You are very welcome. Most games are around 2 hours, especially for new players. But with experience and/or luck, you might have games as short as 30-45 minutes.
Great video!
Thank you!
Nice video, always love more Mordheim content
(although Night Runners can’t have halberds)
Thanks so much! You are correct, but he's got Weapon's Training :)
How did you print your rulebook like that?

Keep up the good work.
Thanks! I will try.
Mordheim content!!!
thanks
Thanks for watching! More to come soon!
great video, liked your point about playing asap. i havent tried the game yet, but have all ready build 3 buildings..
Get some models on the table and go to town!
@@GetTabled yeah I will do!
Saw some poster bills on your terrain walls. Is that something you did or is available somewhere to print?
I think I just looked up Mordheim posters on Google and found a whole sheet of them.
awesome game
I agree!
The nice way to start playing without spending a lot time and money it's Tabletop Simulator (Steam). Thats how i learn mechanics in game and try some warband before build them.
That is a great point. I had forgotten about that when I was writing this video. If I make a video in the future, I may mention it.
Thanks for the vid
I like
I'm glad you like!
WOOT WOOT!! Mordhiem algorithm send this to EVERYONE so they will subscribe to Get Tabled!!
Huzzah!
