I was searching for some amazons for Blood Bowl on the GW website and came across Mordheim: Amazon. They were based differently than the bloodbowl amazons and they carried different equipment than Blood Bowl payers. Anyone know if this is a variation on another tabletop or if it is a Wargaming system by itself?

Mordheim is a warband skirmish game set in the Warhammer world. It's sort of Warhammer's version of Necromunda. Luckily it's still available free from GW.

You'll find alot about it (and links to dowload it ) in this subforum

Thank you much.

An excellent system and well worth a visit if only for the accompanying John Blanche artwork.

It's essentially a skirmish version of WFB with up to a dozen models a side. Easy to get into and most of your normal WFB models will be perfectly acceptable and "game legal" (whatever that means) so there is minimal outlay.

It is based pre Current Time in the Warhammer Universe not long after a meteor has struck Mordheim a city in the Eastern part of the Empire. The city is in ruins but warbands flock to it because the meteor is rich in warpstone. There is something unpleasant in the Impact Crater...

There are expansions for taking it out into the gerneral countryside allowing you to do generic WFB skirmish reminiscent of the Gotrek and Felix novels
