Basically, /tg/ plays Mordheim over Roll20, with all the associated tales of tragedy, horror, and cursing at the fickle nature of the dice gods. Aside from Roll20, you can also try to contact players through #mordheim on sup/tg/'s IRC server: irc.thisisnotatrueending.net (you can use their integrated chat client and type /join #mordheim if you don't have an IRC client).
League Overview
League format is pick-up-and play - play as many games (or as few) as you want or can manage. Even if you're outmatched, battles in Mordheim usually end at the 25% casualty mark due to the Rout rules, and inexperienced warbands gain extra experience when going up against much stronger ones. And while more games might bring in more experience and loot, they also bring in more risk. It's also a good idea to try and avoid playing against the same warband twice in a row, especially if you gave them a particularly bad thrashing. Finally, you're free to retire a warband at any time at start from scratch with the default 500gc limit - nothing carries over, of course. But we recommend sticking with a band even if you have a couple of bad games; the underdogs rule means that recovery is always possible.

Houserules and other Clarifications
- Using two melee weapons at once incurs a -1 to-hit penalty. This does not apply to characters that have multiple attacks, but applies to all attacks in a round if the character chooses to gain a bonus attack from an extra weapon.
- Slings are S2
- Light armor and Heavy armor are half the listed price, rounding up. This also applies to Gromril and Ithilimar armor as well. *Only during warband creation
- Amazon warband is not allowed
- Any mention of "Treasure" in a warband list refers to Wyrdstone. (Lustrian and Khemri campaigns use a different resource, hence the language)
Unless otherwise noted:
- All buildings are assumed to be 3" high
- All buildings are climbable to the roof/high ground from anywhere in the building.
- All buildings can be seen *into*, but not seen *through*, unless otherwise noted, but grant cover to occupants.
- All building may be entered from any side.
- Unlike Warhammer Fantasy, you do not have to charge in a straight line in Mordheim (you can charge models behind corners with an Initiative test). You still need to take the shortest possible route to the target.

Printable Roster Sheet (useful for tracking advancements)
Making a Page for your Warband
Your Warband's 1d4chan page should have your warband's name and rating, your warband's heroes (and their experience, advancements, equipment), as well as henchmen (and their experience), current gold in the treasury, any remaining wyrdstone, and weapons/items in the inventory. Adding in a characteristic profiles for each model is recommended. Try to update it after every battle, or at least before the next battle so your opponent has a reference.
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="left" ! M ! WS ! BS ! S ! T ! W ! I ! A ! Ld |- | 4 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 | 8 |- |} Don't delete the newlines above!
and you should get a result that looks like this:
M | WS | BS | S | T | W | I | A | Ld |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
4 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 | 8 |
(Note that the large blank space is for some reason important to make sure shit doesn't get messed up)
Playing on Roll20
Since the chat window isn't different for each new page in the same campaign, games are spread out over several campaigns on Roll20, or "Game Tables." You will need a Roll20 account to join one of the following tables. Contact the table's GM to be promoted to GM status. This will allow you to upload tokens to your own personal library, manipulate tokens on the board, and also edit the map in use. Randomly generated urban maps can be found on Wizard Dawn
Note: When setting up a table and making the Roll20 map, be sure to make it 48x48 units (Size of normal Mordheim board in inches), and set diagonal measurement to "3.5 D&D/Pathfinder" So it measures it correctly.
Tokens should be sized at 70x70pixels, be of a square shape, and hopefully represent the character in some way (nameplates can be toggled on in Roll20, but being able to tell at a glance is helpful). A border is recommended for convenience of checking edges and base-to-base contact. Similar pictures for henchmen and unique pictures for heroes are also recommended to help with differentiation. An image with an easily visible orientation (like a face) is also helpful, because tokens are often rotated and flipped to represent knock-downs and stuns.
Note: Roll20 measures auras starting from the token edge. For a 70x70pixel token, the distance you need to compensate for is 0.5 - adjust aura distances by this amount. For a 45x45 pixel token (standard measuring template size), the distance adjustment is 0.3.
Sample Tokens (note you will have to resize these to 70x70

Wu's Manchu vs. The Good Company of Sir Aillas (3-16-13, Finished. Wu's Manchu Victory)
Wicked K's Company vs. Da Proud Toofs (3-16-13, Finished. Wicked K Victory) Fresh from their relatively bloodless victory over the privateers, Da Proud Toofs were aimlessly wandering the streets of Mordheim when they heard a terrible moaning. With a gleeful roar they charged towards it's origin. Unfortunately for them, the undead had long since heard them coming and had organised themselves accordingly. The orcs ran face first into a volley of arrows and a line of disciplined (if somewhat decomposed) infantry. Toofsnatcha spotted the thin form of Karlsbad the wicked some way off from the main combat, and charged straight for him. Despite managing to floor his bodyguard, the grave guard know as Zigmund Yorschleit, he was quickly dragged underground by the many dead buried under Mordheim. The battle only went downhill for the orcs after that. Although they finally managed to batter Zigmund into insensibility (permanently damaging his nerves) the undead won by quite a margin. The orcs fled, vowing revenge...
