Mordheim: Let The Scheming Begin!

So the die is cast…

In service of the Dark Gods Magister Fritz is going to lead his Possessed Warband against Jawaballs’ Vampire Counts…I mean Undead Warband.

Invoking the eye of Tzeentch I’ve cast my gaze into the warp and have divined all possibilities, thinking for all possible avenues of tactica, and I’m wondering about a mini-mindwar like ability, especially since we are talking about Jawaballs.

Back in 4th edition Warhammer 40,000 when Eldar mindwar had utility I used to brutalize him with it, and I’d love to do the same with Mordheim if I can…especially with the chaos rituals at my disposal. Concepts are concepts right? The savvy general just has to adapt them.



In 40K my farseer would get into position, usually mid table, and then just wait. Wait for Dante or Mepheston to show themselves and them BAM! Sometimes I had to bait them out with some jetbikes, but more often than not it was only a matter of time. Can I do the same with the Eye of God ritual under the guidance of my Magister?

Basically you nominate a model, friend or foe, and roll a D6, on a 2-6 the model gets buffed up, and if you roll a 1 then the model is taken immediately out of action. Could this be the Mordheim mind war?

A one in six chance to nuke a dude is pretty good odds, especially if they are a heavy hitter like a vampire. One in six…


Range is only 6”, but I can work through that, just make sure my that vampire has to come into range either through wyrdstone placement or by using my possessed. Of course the gods are fickle and it could and probably will buff up the very model I’m trying to take down.

Either way, this is the lens I’m applying to Mordheim- taking the rules and trying to find the possible twists and turns in them- all in good fun of course…
