Fluff on my Catachans

dwi — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 02:17:00 GMT

Ok I hate dubble posting but heres some fluff on my Catachans Captain Wilber "Dead Head" Regals Wilber is the Captain of the 501st Catachan's 3rd company. He is a large man even for a Catachan though not as big as the famous Harker, he can take the heavy recoil of his "Astartes MK Vb Godwyn pattern bolter" with ease. His nick name, as all Catachans want a name, came from when he was fighting 'nids on the world of Golotha, when he smacked his Commisar in the face for "exacuteing" ...

Imperial Renegades [WIP] PIC HEAVY!!!!

Lord GreyWolf — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 10:44:19 GMT

I have made the decision to make an Imperial Renegade squad. I wanted a full 15 man squad for starters so i didn't need to add anything later. So here is the work done so far. please forgive the conversions, and general appearance. This inspiration was spurred on by mother energy drinks, no sleep and night shift. Commander [power sword, Lil Burner] will add a 2nd ranged weapon on to this fig so he can still shoot after he's used the lil burner. Enforcer [axe, and either a bolter ...

Chapter 4: Purge the Unclean! (The Eye Pokers, Sensory Array 738 Campaign)

Mordheimer — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:47:38 GMT

Chapter 4: Purge the Unclean! Imperial Guard, Catachan Jungle Fighters (The Eye Pokers) vs Chaos Cultists (Nurgle) It has been almost a week and scouts had confirmed the Captain's suspicions; the Chaos Cultists we preparing for summoning a daemon. Knowing what he knew, Captain Lance understood the consequences. He was witnessing the machinations of the forces of Chaos within the safeguard of the Imperium. They had plan to neutralize all Imperial Forces, take over Sensory Array 738 and then ...

The Fall of Bergen. A 40k short story i'm working on

mudboy — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 08:19:06 GMT

This is the first part of a short story i'm working on. It might turn into a Death Squads story depending on the plotline(still wip). Anyway, C&C are welcome Traitor. The word still rings in my head. This is was what I have become. The enemy. I have spend the last seven years of my life fighting for the Emperor and mankind. Fighting Xeno's and Heretics across the galaxy, on iceworlds, in hivecities, in desserts and on starships. Never have I doubted anything. But now I'm not ...

Hrud conversions (and Tube-y things)

StyrofoamKing — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 14:05:24 GMT

If there's one thing I've noticed about GW Fantasy and 40k, it's two simple equations:

Tube-y things = 40k
No tube-y things = fantasy.

That being said, as I start converting some Hrud, any tips on where to buy thin, tiny tubes, to use as respirators and "power links" and such? Hardware? Craft? Michaels?

Game 1: Varangian Campaign - A Meeting of Fates

02laney — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 23:27:03 GMT

10th/95th Varangians vs. the Drakes Nebula Eldar The story so far... The 10th/95th Varangian had been assigned to the relative backwater of the Peradephus Forgehive in the far south of the central continent of Varangia. Reismann felt that the 10th were being pushed into the background, rather than redeem themselves on a real battlefield, just to save the coward Simmersen from the disgrace and death he deserved. What made it even worse for Reismann, was that Simmersen's Sergeant Major Obadiah ...

as part of my usual web terrain search I found this great corridor system.... http://www.wargamer.pl/downloads/Tactical_ops-RUSTY.zip makes my home made one look like a kids done it....

Tiles: Hulk, Moon Base, Lab, Bunker etc

Lord GreyWolf — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 05:56:40 GMT

I made these tiles up for a re-vamped version of Space crusade but dumped that for DeathSquad so here are the tiles I will use in a Death Squad scenario [still hammering out the details of it before I post it] you can see why I chose Slannesh for the Imperial renegades... I made the Slannesh symbol my self... Making up some doors for the mission need to have them ready by next week.....1st game wednesday night got a lot to do by then.... Cheers LGW

Hey new to the forums

Ravenf5r — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 04:58:06 GMT

My friend got me interested in this when he said he met one of the guys who made this game at gamers. so i figured hey why not try it out. if i am going to do anything it's space marines, i think i have one interesting story to write out since I've had it in the making for quite some time about 4 years now.several times I've tried to write a book, but i have always had a hard time to get the story organized. so maybe try it on a forum with chapters on my hero and his missions. maybe some feedback ...

IG and ImpRens

dwi — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 03:25:38 GMT

Right as some of you may know my short IpmGuard story at Tom's is comeing a long nicely but I thought that by playing I could do a tie in to the story, sort of like a.... behinde the seens part to the war for Kroniteia that will have an derect efect on the story. I will start by talking about the ImpRens that my buddy (or me, I think that we will roll dice to deside who plays who) will be playing (as soon as I get the parts for the minis for both sides) in the mini campaign.

Da Green Devil Kommandos

Da Green Devil Kommandos (One of our squads for the Varangia Campaign) Shank Riprot was a young ork from a minor sub-clan of the Kunnin' Blood Axes called the Da Green Devils. When he sprouted from a spore on the once paradise world of Vagbadd (Imperial Designation: Paragon VII Ref. M4162AEI). Two things struck the warbosses of the Waaagh! that had ravaged the planet and threatened nearby imperial systems...

Here's a picture of my WIP Rogue Trader: Here she is with an apprentice pilot and her little sister: Close-up of the pilot: And a biggerized Fallen Angel mercenary as heavy support (the other minis are for size comparison). As with the Inquisitor, there are already more members of the gang waiting, but I can't take pictures of them at the moment.

Space Marines

Draxtar — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 03:45:40 GMT

I really wasnt to sure on where this should go. THis game seems to be designed around the Imperial Gaurd and Eldar, which is cool, but it also makes it difficult to add space marines. When it came to points and squad size I think the rules should have been disigned around a Space Marine squad of 5 to ten men with one heavy and a special weapon. Then the points for all of the other races would have fell into place a little easier. I do like the concept, small squads of 40k. Adding space ...

Propaganda Posters (pic heavy)

Mordheimer — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 13:39:13 GMT

In our last campaign, somehow we started a 'war' to demoralize opponents. We started making (and emailing) each other these Propaganda Posters... rather than making us think of quitting, it made us fight harder for the world of Karameikos IV. Enjoy! Imperial Announcement; real fighting by real fighters (teasing Dozer's Renegades) Dozer, with his evil rogue transmissions, sawed the common folk to join him! Colonnel DaBank, counter attacks asking for volunteers! The ...

Editing Suggestion for 0.4.4, and Rules Questions/Comments

pathfinder dubstyles — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 03:41:37 GMT

I assume that most of these editing suggestions have already been covered, but I'm tired and reading all the previous editing posts sounds like torture to me right now! I made a few notes as i was reading through the rules earlier this week, here they are: Page 10: Ballistic skill: ..."shoot a bow or fire a pistol..." Replace with: "...fire a gun, or throw a grenade..." Page several: To hit modifier table needed in shooting. It took me forever to find where the ...

Catachan's Eye Pokers - Picture log!

Mordheimer — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 00:45:57 GMT

Well, I have been working on some Catachan models for my Squad, The Eye Pokers. I did not took pictures of the first batch I made, but I still have to paint them. The second batch, I started taking pictures. More to come later! This model is my 'Standard Bearer'. While the banner has no real use on the game (at least not yet), I think it will demoralize my opponents... specially my arch-nemesis, the Chaos Cultists! The banner symbolic significance as follows: Dual Green: Once painted, the background ...

Hey guys i found this forum from tom's boring forum's.
The game looks great and I like that its built from mordheim.

Renegades Battle Report

DoZer — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 13:33:17 GMT

After much prompting from Mordheimer, here is my one and only story based battle report. Although it is good, it took forever to write, hence why it is my one and only. If you notice in the write up there are some odd moments, like an IG Lt. that has augmetic legs. That model belong to DaBank, and his name is Lt. Dan. Also the gretchins are Mordheimer's, who have little orange guns with the pop cork cartoon flag on em, PRICELESS models!! Anyways... Enjoy!!! ******************************************************************************************************************* As ...

Mordheimer — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 08:51:07 GMT

It was August 16, 2008. DaBank and I wanted to play Space Hulk... which had not been played in a decade. He had some paper tiles, and I had Genestealers and Terminators. We met, and before we set up he asked... "Do you mind if we use Guardsmen instead of Terminators? I want to do this like the movie Aliens!" My reply? "Sure! But I don't like the stating movement of the Action Points (AP)... do you mind if we just set some standard movement, like in Mordheim?" His reply? "Sure! ...

TLRB v0.5.0 is peaking its ugly head!

Mordheimer — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 04:29:01 GMT

Yeap... we are preparing for the release of TLRB v0.5.0!!! We have fixed multiple typos, balanced the Advanced Critical Hit Chart, simplified Terrain Features, tweaked the some Starting Experience and some more. The Chaos Cultists are ALMOST ready to get out the door, but they will definitely miss this release. Not to worry... we will release them and the Kroot soon after. When you ask? Way before Tax Day (April 15th). Stay Tuned!!!

Adeptus Mechanicus Explorator Force

02laney — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 20:02:24 GMT

Hi All, Has anyone thought about an Adeptus Mech force? I have a load of servitors and tech priest models lying around and they've got to be used somehow! I think it could be a unique and interesting squad, if built similar to the imperial renegades squad (with tech upgrades replacing the mutations and use of a variety of servitors/robots that don't gain experience. It's only a rough outline - but something like this... Obviously it shouldn't just be a 'count as' but the basis of the ...

First experiences with green stuff (pic heavy)

Librarian — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 22:39:52 GMT

Hey guys! I'm here just so you can give me some tips about 'green stuff'. I know, it sounds simple and fun, but to the beginner is something close to nightmares. Here's the thing: I had some odd spare parts from a bit grab bag I bought a while ago and was kinda bored. So I thought to myself: "with all this I could make a spawn." I like all my minis to have a background, so I figured that this guy was the result of a warpstorm in a planet that was being invaded by the tyranids. ...

The Shotgun Shuffle

DoZer — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 19:43:49 GMT

Well, this came about after the creation of a very.....significant special rule for, or course, the shotgun. The shotgun allows you to have 2 shots at a 12" range, but it allows you to roll a scatter die after wounding for random direction and a distance of 1". After much thought, I choose a tactic that would "allow" (quoted because it IS random......or is it.....) you to bounce your target down a long range of guns, whilst only exposing the front model to return fire ...

Hello everybody! Hi Dr... Aromasin.

aromasin — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 22:53:45 GMT

Hi! I've not been war gaming for long, with a small 2 year run so far. I have never played any other games other than GW's 40K, Warhammer and LotR (although I play Space Hulk). I have originally come fro the 'Nid hive, to Dakka and now I'm trying out the rules. So far they seem VERY good and well done to the creators. I'm a regular at my local GW store in Poole, Britain and am considering brining these rules along with me. Again, well done with the rules

Hired Guns

Gatlag Stonetooth — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 20:12:29 GMT

After a quick look in the Rulebook I found the "Hired Guns" section. In my opinion one of the best things of Mordheim were the Hired Swords. It was such fun to save gold so you could hire that ogre or slayer. So it's a good thing that there are Hired Guns in Death Squads, but my question is: "are there going to be more?" WIA had some nice entries, perhaps some inspiration could be taken from those?

Adeptus Aribites

Lord GreyWolf — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 23:23:34 GMT

not sure if this is the right section for this but was wondering if you were going to get these guys involved in Death Squad? not sure how they would fit into the game or their dynamics. but since you have Imperial guard could you use the guards as a basis and then add carapace armour, power mauls, supression shields,shot guns and bolters. don't worry about heavy weapons, just make them have the shocktroops and shot gun guys. just an idea as I am converting up two squads one with ...

Hey everybody!

pathfinder dubstyles — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 02:54:30 GMT

I caught wind of this project a while ago through Tom's Boring Mordheim Forum, and a I just now got around to reading through the document. My and a friend will play test Orks and Eldar at our LGS, and if others are interested, possible more squads. Now I have a special place in my Hearth for Necromunda, since it was my first skirmish game and favorite GW product. And although i like it, the game is so attached to the setting that older projects like Necromunda in Space, and Inquisitor Skirmish ...

Dark Angels Terminators... taking a dip!

Mordheimer — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 01:13:53 GMT

Well... after talking with Dozer, we both agreed that we needed further tests. Me, being the complete SUCKER I'm, again volunteered to work more! We wanted to resolve a hypothesis; Is the Dipping Technique the great equalizer? Will dipping models "erase" mistakes made by newbies? We all have seen the player with lots of unpainted models that complaint that painting is 'too hard' and when they finally try, they work 'sucks'. Well, I guess that also expect to pick up an electric ...

Greetings From New Zealand

Lord GreyWolf — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 19:36:23 GMT

hi,

found this site when I was on Tom's Boring Mordheim Forum Board.

I wanted a skirmish game that gave each person in the squad the ability to grow instead of just the officer. I was planning on do a Space crusade re-vamp [basically the Space crusade game with newer version minis] but it seems I may have to drop that and look at Death Squad instead.....

thx guys.

Cheers

Saying Hello

02laney — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 09:55:03 GMT

Hi All, I'm new to the forum (in fact this is my 1st post on any 40k forum - I usually just nick great ideas from them!). I only found out about death squads a couple of days ago - while looking for modelling ideas - and I was inspired to create an urban fighters squad called the 10th/95th South Varangian Rifles, lead by Captain Alex 'Ice Cold' Reismann. I've modelled the squad - mostly using miniatures I'd got for other purposes (will post WIP pics when I get some done). Now I've just got ...

Game 3 - Nurgle Cultists

DoZer — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 18:03:48 GMT

Well, I guess its that time...... Since I did not play Mordheimer last night, I can't rely on him to post a battle report. So.....here is a basic order of how things went last night as well as some relection on what went wrong.....or right, depending on your point of view. Last night was game 3 of our test campaign, and I played against jd3 who has a Tzeentch Cultist squad. Now what you must understand is that when Jd3 and I play each other, nothing ends well......for either of us. It is ...
