      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

    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.

    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!

    This looks like an amazing event! I just saw another video from one of your fellow attendees. I’d love to do something like that locally in Ontario
