Editing Mordheim (section)

==Getting Started==
So, you want to play some Mordheim? Here's some of the things you'll need;
* Friends. I know this is the internet, but we're gonna start with the easy things first.
* Minis to represent your warband. Do this AFTER you've thought up your list, and where you'd like it to go. Mordheim is all about character, so work out some interesting stuff. Most warbands can be made out of a single box of troops, and there's a lot of alternatives out there.
** Special mention must be made to Perry Miniatures Mercenary Box Set; it lacks some of the nicer bits, but you can build most human warbands out of it. It also comes with enough minis for several people, making starting a game even easier.
** If you're dead-set on GW, then you'll need to know what's useful for what. In no particular order
*** Empire Free Company: Is it a Mercenary warband/vaguely similar to an Empire Warband? Congratulations, you've got all you need!
*** Beastmen: A little conversion work, and you can build a decent warband from a box of Gor. You have to get creative if you want a Centigor, but nothing in life is free, eh?
*** Skaven: Night Runners if you're aiming for the usual list, Clanrats if you're willing to do more conversion work and have fun.
*** Dwarf Treasure Hunters: Warriors work if you've got the spare gun bits laying around, and you'll need to do some crazy conversion work for Troll Slayers. [[Mantic Games]]'s dwarfs can work, but the poses are a bit static for some people, and you need to really buy in bulk before they're really worth it.
*** Orcs and Goblins: Box of Orc Boyz and a box of goblins is more than enough. Use the extra bows that come with the Goblins if you need 'em for your boyz, otherwise you've pretty much got everything. As usual, you'll need to do some conversion work.
*** Night goblins: Box of night goblins or, how they call them these days, "moonclan grots", some fanatic bits an if you want some squigs will give you what you need.
*** Marauders of Chaos: Box of Marauders, convert, and you're good. For warhounds, you should try to scratchbuild something if you're aiming to be cheap. Alternatively, you may want to buy a box of flesh rippers from FFG's Runewars: the miniatures game.
*** Pit fighters: The "iron golem" warband from Warcry is basically perfect.
*** Lizardmen: The Underworlds "Starblood Stalkers" + a box of skinks/saurus (or a Kroxigor) is enough, but you could make a whole warband out of a box of skinks and some conversions.
* Terrain: This is the big one. Make it out of corkboard if you have time, Terraclips if you want it to be fast and good, random shit if you don't care. Remember; clutter the board, and build UP! Nothing makes Mordheim fun like building up, because otherwise, no one can suicide-charge off of rooftop or place their ranged henchmen high in the land to get picked off one by one.

This shit is pretty much all you need to get started. A normal campaign is best with at least four people, but if you can get folks at your FLGS interested, a larger narrative campaign can be fun.
