The Empire was a place torn: it had been in civil war for years – there was no Emperor sitting on the throne, various powers were vying for control.it was a time ripe for chaos and confusion. In the Imperial year 1999, a great comet was sighted in the sky. A twin tailed comet. The sign of Sigmar. Astronomers predicted that it would fall in the city of Mordheim, where his convent of Sisters stood. It was believed that it would herald the return of the Emperor who would restore the land to its former glory and bring about a new golden age. Everybody traveled to Mordheim, filling the city well beyond its capacity, with them, they brought murderers, cultists, rapists, mercenaries and all manner of shady charachters. The once peaceful city rotted from the inside out, into a hive of scum and villainy (see what I did there?) The citizens of Mordheim quickly degenerated to perverse depravity, falling into chaos, living in a state of utter anarchy. But still more people came, making the situation far worse. As people gave in to acts of depravity, demons walked in daylight, unshunned, the seeds of Chaos having bloomed into sickly trees of corruption, damning the souls of the degenerate, who now called Mordheim their own.
The comet fell on The Emperor’s New Year's Eve, but sigmar did not come. Rather, the comet smashed into the city, slaying the unfortunates who went to watch. This was believed to be the wrath of Sigmar, his judgment on the heretics. Mordheim became a domain of fear, anger, aggression (Yoda: the dark side of the force are they.) Soon after, word spread of a wondrous stone that lay strewn all over the once fair city, known as Wyrdstone.The wyrdstone was rumored to have all manner of strange qualities. It was discovered that factions would pay incredible amounts for this precious stone, whatever their motivation. So bands of soldiers, mercenaries, heretics, and thugs began traveling to Mordheim, now known as the feared The City of the Damned, their goal: to find this wondrouse stone and make their quick fortunes…

This is a Mordheim RPG, set in the warhammer world. This is not a short post RP.
I need a decent amount of space for each post to make it interesting. I also need you to flesh out your character.
Before anyone starts whining ‘But there’s too many!’ I have been working on this for a month and a half, that is no small chunk of my life, it is a large one in fact.

Many of you know me to be a bit flippant and tolerrnt of shennaigens. Well not here. This is a seriouse RP. And by seriouse I mean: No off topic, No spamming out of the apropreate ranges. GOOD characters, origional characters, KNOW YOUR BOUNDRIES! If I have a black orc smashing it’s way through empire spearmen, Well that’s fine and dandy. If I have agoblin taking out a rat-ogre with a small piece of wood and a rock then there will be problems.

Now that the warning and legal disclaimer is over, I present to you the holy…MECHANICUS! Wait…that is’t right. Oh yeah…the holy…MECHANICS!

You will be given a warband of varing sizes in the beginning. You can hire more mercs, or have your tribe/empire/clan send you more troops, for mony, or wyrdstone.

Standard Table: (in this order) price move speed, hit points, moral strength.
Average human villager: 4 3 5 4
BEASTMEN
The Beastmen carve out their lairs under the thick canopies of the forests, but they are not creatures of nature. In fact, they have very little in common with anything wholesome or natural. They are twisted parodies of man and beast alike, but far more vigorous and powerful than either. The Cloven Ones, as they like to call themselves, belong to Chaos in both body and soul. Unlike humans who need to be tempted and brokered into serving the Dark Gods, or even the hardy men-folk residing in the North who are indoctrinated from the moment they are born, the Beastmen are creatures of Chaos with every fibre of their being. They have no more choice in this than a fish has a choice whether to live under the water.

SKAVEN (clan-reactive)

Skaven are perhaps best described as children of Chaos, warped and mutated creatures who are as much rat as man (or possibly as much man as rat). They are hideous, hunched creatures with sharp teeth and cruel claws and long, worm-like tails – a dark, twisted and rat-shaped parody of humanity, a race of unscrupulous and cruel creatures whose sole ambition is to usurp the civilised realms of the Warhammer world and take up residence in their tattered remains.

Skaven culture, if it can be truly called such, is a vicious and despicable similitude of the society of men, where dishonesty and cruelty are virtues and where those Skaven who are considered the most skilled in betrayal, the cruellest and most underhand are raised to positions of leadership, the Warlords of the vast armies of Skaven.

HUMAN: EMPIRE
The Empire is the largest and most powerful of the lands of men in the Old World, a mighty nation that stands as the bulwark against the many enemies of man. It is a land where magic, technology and the courage of mortal men rub shoulders, each an essential weapon in the war against the malign powers in the Warhammer world. The men of the Empire have none of the supernatural strength nor brutal upbringing of the Warriors of Chaos, nor do they boast the numberless ranks of the vile Skaven, the savage resilience of the green-skinned Orcs or uncanny agility of the High Elves. Rather, the men of the Empire rely upon their steel-forged armour, the potence of their wargear and unflinching faith in their warrior god, Sigmar.

DWARFS
Between the civilised lands of Men and the desolate Dark Lands lie the Worlds Edge Mountains. These are the ancestral holds of one of the most ancient races, the Dwarfs. Their once-great domains remain a bastion of honour, strength and courage in a world assailed by Chaos.

The Dwarfs are resolute in defence and unforgiving in attack. The Dwarfs hold a grudge like no other, vengefully hunting down those who have wronged them to exact their toll. Many an innocent descendant has been surprised by a host of Dwarfs arriving at his door, demanding that justice be exacted for the wrongs of his forefathers.

The armies of the Dwarfs fight almost exclusively on foot, clad in heavy armour and equipped with hammer and axe. On the battlefield they are known for stubborn courage and will resolutely hold the line against the most determined of attacks. Their mastery of black powder weaponry and other mechanical secrets has enabled their unsurpassed craftsmen to create deadly war machines.

OGRE KINGDOMS

To the east of the Old World lies the savage mountainous region named the Mountains of Mourn. There dwell the powerful man-eating brutes known as the Ogres, large and powerful creatures with a voracious appetite for both the carnage of battle and the flesh of the living.

When at war the Ogres fight in a singularly aggressive and destructive fashion, storming forwards into the foe in a tidal wave of towering, muscular warriors. An Ogre stands almost twice the height of a Man and as a band of them smash into the ranks of the enemy they hit with such force as to break bones, pulp flesh and leave all but the strongest and most disciplined warriors in a bloodied ruin.

CHAOS DWARFS

Chaos Dwarfs occupy a region of the fictional Warhammer World that would roughly coincide with the middle east in the real world. It is to the east of the Old World, known as the Dark Lands. It is a large plain and mostly barren, filled with ash and fire.
The Chaos Dwarfs' major city is Zharr-Naggrund. Zharr-Naggrund is situated in the middle of the Plain of Zharr, a massive crater in the Darklands full of underground workshops and mines. Much of their activity goes toward building and preserving this city. It is in the form of a massive ziggurat, with gates larger than there is any need for, which led to it being also called The Tower of Zharr-Naggrund. On the top of the city is the Temple of Hashut, where slaves are sacrificed to their god Hashut.

WOOD ELVES

The inhabitants of Athel Loren are mysterious and secretive, rarely straying beyond the safety of their woodland home. Beneath the leafy boughs of Athel Loren's mighty trees, the Wood Elves watch for interlopers and invasion, ever ready to protect their domain.

When danger threatens, the Wood Elves and the spirits of the forest fight as one, both deadly and unforgiving in defence of their borders. The Wood Elves are agile and stealthy, able to stalk swiftly through dense undergrowth as easily as a Man might walk down the paved streets of Altdorf. Wood Elves are unparalleled archers whose disciplined volleys ruthlessly cut down intruders, leaving corpses riddled with arrows, their mouldering bodies remaining as a warning to any who would follow in their wake.

The Wood Elves do not fight alone, however. Even as the Glade Guard form stealthy regiments of archers and other Wood Elves band into Wardancer Troupes or the deadly cavalry of the Glade Guard, the spirits of the forest awaken in defence of their realm. Towering Treemen, mighty enough to crush entire phalanxes with their wooden limbs stride through the forest supported by malicious Dryads and the merciless Tree Kin. An enemy of the Wood Elves must face the full fury of Athel Loren, a powerful woodland realm that has resisted the depredations of Men, Dwarfs and Beastmen for thousands of years.

DARK ELVES
The Dark Elves are a spiteful, deceitful and bloody people. For five thousand years they have followed the Witch King, Malekith, in a merciless civil war against the High Elves. They are infamous across the world for their acts of depravity and skill at arms.

The Dark Elves hail from the bitterly cold land of Naggaroth, far to the north, a barren and desolate domain to which they fled following their exile from Ulthuan. They despise all life, launching attacks on the lands of other races for no reason but their own twisted enjoyment.

Countless warriors have flocked to his side, believing that by serving such a mighty champion might draw the eyes of the gods upon themselves.

Bio: Although taken from a tribe of Warrior-women in Lustria by Norsemen raiders when she was but a child, Freya seemed doomed to a life of slavery or becoming the raw materials in some Sorcerous rite, she managed to escape from her pen serveal times, killing her guards with her bare hands in the process. This Impressed her captors so much she was forced to fight in the area against trolls, orcs, skaven and whatever other horrors the pack masters could find. She became feared by other slaves, who would rather slit their own throats than face her in the ring. Her forced servitude ended the day Harrab the Eternal entered the stronghold, ignoring all attempts to honor and welcome him, marched to the slave pens, slaughtered her guards without provocation and escorted her out into the wastes. She has served as his second ever since, directing his minions as his will commands.

Between the civilised lands of Men and the desolate Dark Lands lie the Worlds Edge Mountains. These are the ancestral holds of one of the most ancient races, the Dwarfs. Their once-great domains remain a bastion of honour, strength and courage in a world assailed by Chaos.

The Dwarfs are resolute in defence and unforgiving in attack. The Dwarfs hold a grudge like no other, vengefully hunting down those who have wronged them to exact their toll. Many an innocent descendant has been surprised by a host of Dwarfs arriving at his door, demanding that justice be exacted for the wrongs of his forefathers.

The armies of the Dwarfs fight almost exclusively on foot, clad in heavy armour and equipped with hammer and axe. On the battlefield they are known for stubborn courage and will resolutely hold the line against the most determined of attacks. Their mastery of black powder weaponry and other mechanical secrets has enabled their unsurpassed craftsmen to create deadly war machines.

edit: WHINERANT OVER

A) quit your whinning...although the thing about them getting people fast is true....

B)ok,i like this. im going to go eat and ill post when i get back. gonna try something new...gonna be a female. (no perv joke please....)

right. you can request any army as long as it is WHFB (meh, don't worry, I find writing from a female POV is a lot like writing from a guy's [you are talking to a guy who's parents write books] you just pretend you have 2 x chromosomes, it's easy from there )

going to bed. will be back by 1:00 PM (nepali time)

erm...can i get a character template? i mean i know the basics,but who know what else you've got in mind.

Throw in Chaos Dwarfs, and you've got the Walrus.

Anybody stuck to my RP, do this one instead.

I have another in my head that is EATING ME ALIVE.

OK I am back. character template, chaos dwarves and skaven are the next things up.

warband:

hmmm....

a) gender will be added to mine.
B) i want to see a chaos and dark elf list.
C) yes that says what kind of women my character is gonna be. mostly because i dont like the empire

what i really want to see in warhammer (and 40k) is a human race that is separate from the emperor.no god,no loyalties,just themselves.

also we should have exp points or something so are stats are balanced and something are race would have. like a human wouldnt be stronger than a beastman.

brettonia? mercs? humans are not not stringer than an average beastman (See: average strength) they have better weapons though

CHAOS DWARFS

Chaos Dwarfs occupy a region of the fictional Warhammer World that would roughly coincide with the middle east in the real world. It is to the east of the Old World, known as the Dark Lands. It is a large plain and mostly barren, filled with ash and fire.
The Chaos Dwarfs' major city is Zharr-Naggrund. Zharr-Naggrund is situated in the middle of the Plain of Zharr, a massive crater in the Darklands full of underground workshops and mines. Much of their activity goes toward building and preserving this city. It is in the form of a massive ziggurat, with gates larger than there is any need for, which led to it being also called The Tower of Zharr-Naggrund. On the top of the city is the Temple of Hashut, where slaves are sacrificed to their god Hashut.

DARK ELVES
The Dark Elves are a spiteful, deceitful and bloody people. For five thousand years they have followed the Witch King, Malekith, in a merciless civil war against the High Elves. They are infamous across the world for their acts of depravity and skill at arms.

The Dark Elves hail from the bitterly cold land of Naggaroth, far to the north, a barren and desolate domain to which they fled following their exile from Ulthuan. They despise all life, launching attacks on the lands of other races for no reason but their own twisted enjoyment.

Save me a spot in this would ya?
Could you add a merc team aswell? Like with humans, ogres, dwarves and elves?

actually my ida is that you can buy these mercenaries at the trading posts, that way you have a core war-band as well as a team of mercenaries to do more specialist jobs. or, you could simply choose a faction and make a character, without getting the warband, then get the mercenaries (mercenaries are NPCs though, so they would be extremely expensive.)

you have more flexibility with the warbands, as there is no limit to how many of each class you can take (100 gors, or 25 minotaurs would be an example of a 'unit' warband. and would be utterly terrifying, but would have drawbacks)

consider your spot saved.

mercenary example

Ogre Maneater mercenary: 700. 6 8 10 8

cannon, brace of pistols, Iron Plate (protects against bullets, mercs only) greataxe, Mattock, handbombs, always hungry. Bull's strength (can rip off doors or beat down a stone troll) cleaver,


NOTE: each race will have at least one warband of NPCs as well as the GM's personal warband (Verminclaw Marauders)

I was wanting to make a small team of rag tag mercenaries, like the A team but in Mordheim.

Like a human merc captain, 2 or 3 various humans, an elf ranger and an ogre. Rather than being restricted to one specific race.

yes, that would work (though I am only going to let 2 people be full mercenary teams in all)

they would be expensive, but you would still have gold left over (probably) any race except beastmen can be put into a mercenary team.

a list of mercenaries will be going up soon

Deadly man. They should be very expensive, but their stats/abilities should reflect that, but not being overpowered or hero like.

Like have someone be able to pick locks very easily, or be a terrifying street brawler, or a marksman etc

Black Orc Warfighter: 500. 4 6 12 7

black orc Warfighter's go wherever the fighting is the best, they have an intense obsession with discipline and are likly to be one of the most committed to a fight. in combat, they form the heavey-hitters, able to beat down a chaos warrior, but will be bested by a minotaur

charge, frenzy, militent, 'Get Back In Da Line Scum!' greataxe, sword, choppa, 'Eavy Armour' clubba (mace) skullsmasha (+1 unarmed combat) street brawler


Skaven Warplock Jezzail For Hire: 500. 6 4 10 3

the Warplock Jezzailers, are the best snipers and marksmen of Mordheiml, they provide longe-range firepower with no equal, with the warpstone shot able to blast through even iron plate armor, they are unmatched at a distance.

Warplock Jezzail Musket, Warpstone Dagger, marksman, sniper, 'I see you there' 'This looks nice' Herokiller
