MORDHEIM CHAOS WASTESBy Tommy "Punk" FranssonI have played quite alot of campaigns with the old Realm of Chaos campaign rules and when I first saw the Mordheim rules I noticed how similar they were. This article allow you to use the old Realm of Chaos campaign but with the much better Mordheim rules, I have also balanced Rewards and Attributes more than they were before. The Chaos WarbandsA warband is essentially a Champion of Chaos and a handful of followers, one or two dozen of models. Warbands frequently fight against one another to proove to their patron that they are the best. Fighting between Warbands of the same Patron god are particular fierce as they tries to proove their worth over the other. Sometimes the Warbands fight to resolve bitter rivalries between their Champions. But more often than not this is the favoured way for a Champion to progress, a weak Champion will be killed and the Patron Powers won't have had wasted their time on such an incompetant weakling. You will notice that you randomly generate a lot of things in this system, this is to add some fun to the game and to get rid of a lot of points calculations. Over time the models will develop mutations and the Champion will be rewarded with special abilities and there is no easy way to determin points values of these changes. Indeed some changes may benefit one model but hinder another! There are several articles that you need for this system. You need the Champions of Chaos article that detail how to create the leader of your warband. The retinue article that details how to generate yor Warband. The Chaos Attributes article that details the mutating powers of Chaos (note this one is not posted on the Direwolf mailing list due to its size). The Reckognition article that details the special abilities that the Champion may be granted by his patron (not posted on the Direwold list due to its size). The Chaos Weapon article that details the abilities of the weird Chaos Weapons (once again not posted to the Direwolf list due to its size). The Fate article that details Chaos Spawns and Daemon Princes. The article Monoliths of Chaos where Champions flock to better attract the attention of their gods. Archive Skaven |
