/TG/heim
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).
Participating Warbands
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.

{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="left"
! M
! WS
! BS
! S
! T
! W
! I
! A
! Ld
|-
| 4

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.
List of Skirmishes
Barrett's Privateers vs. Da Prouf Toofs (3-14-13, Ongoing, Paused currently in Orc Shooting phase of Turn 1)
Sulemain's Magnificent Menageries vs. Wicked K's Company (3-14-13, Finished. Wicked K's Company wins)
Sulemain's Menagerie, arriving at the outskirts of town, finds their path into the city proper blocked by a Liche, Karlsbad the Wicked, and his apprentice Necromancer slowly unearthing an army of the dead from the graveyards outside of town.
The newly risen dead quickly assemble into ranks and face off against Sulemain's twisted monstrosities, seeking to break past into the city proper where wyrdstone awaits. Sulemain and Karlsbad, both potent sorcerers, engage in a sorcerous duel as the Liche's zombie minions shuffle forward. Eligos, Sulemain's champion, rends a zombie limb from limb but struggles to deal telling blows to the rest. Karlsbad finally finishes his incantation a split second before Sulemain completes his attempt to enspell the Liche's bodyguards - and strikes Sulemain down with a blast of black death. His Grave Guards, sensing opportunity, rush forward and cut down one of Sulemain's mutant bodyguards. Demoralized and outnumbered on all sides, the Menagerie scatters into the back alleys of Mordheim, loyal Ose carrying his wounded comrades to safety.
