During 2021 we're going to run a little Mordheim campaign/tournament with some friends. Three of them are completely new to the hobby (and one played just a few games years ago, so is partially new himself), so we found some time to catch up and explain the basic rules, the setting and the different warbands. Due to COVID-19 we had to stop during Christmas time and most of January, but we're about to start with the real stuff. We need some more time to prepare the various warbands and then we'll be able to play.
We want the game to run as smooth as possible, especially for our new lost souls in the grim world of miniature games friends who don't know anything about Warhammer, so we explained to them just the minimum background required to be intrigued with Mordheim dark history and to appreciate the different warbands which fight in the deepest corners of the City of the Damned. Until now it was a success, and our friends loved it all and chose some bands they like. We based our choices upon the model we actually have in store and the bands starred as 1a and 1b (official and semi-official) on Broheim.
This is the actual list of our warbands for the campaign:
- Middenheimers
- Cult of the Possessed
- Witch Hunters
- Undead
- Gunnery School of Nuln
- Shadow Warriors
- Hochland Bandits
- Beastmen Raiders
- Beastmen Raiders (lots of Beastmen Raiders, hooray!)

We planned 4 or 5 games until the end of the campaign, not only 1vs1 but also some multiplayer games; so we hope everyone can try the game system, enjoy the dynamics and the stunning background. And then, in the future, we could try a narrative campaign in the darkest streets of Mordheim...
