Mordheim House Rules

Mordheim House Rules

I thought I would upload our Mordheim house rules. Maybe of some use of inspiration to people out there.

Mordheim_House_Rules is a mix of the old Necromunda rules and Mordheim rules. It adds vision arcs, Injury chart (less lethal and with flesh wounds), follow up move, coup de grace, weapon traits, panic tests, new weapons, and magical miscasts.

The second doc is a work in progress of converting Mordheim to the new Necromunda or N17 rules. Mordmunda? Necroheim?

Chaos Dwarf Army List Warhammer 3rd edition

Chaos Dwarf Army List
For WFB 3rd Edition


"Long have we Dwarfs stood against the Old Dark Powers. From the Dawn Ages to the Time of Ending have we ever been numbered among their greatest foes and for good reason. It seemed that we were immune to that warping power that is Chaos ' greatest strength. No children were born in the Dwarf holds that bore the taint of mutation. Our armies did not turn into shambling horrors when the tide of Chaos flowed over them. We thought ourselves immune to the power of the Great Mutator. It was a source of pride. Other races such as short-lived men or treacherous, sybaritic Elves might fall under its sway, but not us.

As with so much else that gave us pride, our seeming immunity played us false. During the last great incursion of Chaos, some of our armies were caught in warpstorms more fierce than any ever remembered. They vanished and we thought them dead. Soon we heard reports that armies of black-clad Dwarfs were marching out of the wastes. When we sent armies to aid our allies we discovered it was true. The full power of the Great Mutator had been laid upon our armies and they had changed. Our warriors found themselves fighting their own kinsmen, changed and demonic. You cannot imagine what a horror that is for a Dwarf manling.”

Chaos Dwarf Army List


My aim was to bring together all the Chaos Dwarf articles printed in White Dwarf, Realm of Chaos, Warhammer Armies, etc, and put them in one coherent, balanced list. I wanted it to be representative of models and themes in WFB 3rd ed. WFB 3rd is low key, there are not many extravagant fantastical units, not as many as in later editions. Units are smaller, and specialist units are rarer.

Some Chaos Dwarf army lists have too many Goblinoid units, so many that they often out number the Chaos Dwarf units! I've seen some armies that are 75% Goblinoid and just a couple of units of Chaos Dwarfs. They look more like an Orc and Goblin army with Chaos Dwarf allies!

I think this comes from the 4th edition Chaos Dwarf army list (the big hats) and the reason this army list had so many Goblinoid units was because they only had a few Chaos Dwarf infantry models at the time (Big-Hat Halberds and Big-Hat Blunderbusses), so they packed out the army list with Hobgoblins, Orcs, Black Orcs and Goblins.
I wanted the focus of this army list to be on Chaos Dwarfs, it is a Chaos Dwarf army list after all! More Hobgoblins, Orcs and Goblins can be added through Allies or Mercenaries as usual. These can be thought of as subjugated tribes if you prefer.

I didn't re-write any background or origins there are people out there who are much better at that sort of thing than me. I didn't try to retro-fit new models and force them into 3rd. A lot of them would probably be over-powered anyway. Newer models can still be used though, for instance a Doom Rocket can use the 3 man Mortar rules. In fact the WFB 3rd ed rules for mercenaries mean that Hobgoblin mercenaries are unreliable, they might even switch sides, which is just how they should be!

I included a unit called Infernal Guard, mainly as I needed a name for an elite unit, but any models can represent these. You don't have to use the Infernal Guard models from Forge World if you don't want to. Bull-Centaurs can use the Boar Centaur profile, again I didn't want to invent something new and Boar Centaurs are already pushing war machines. Dragon Ogres profiles can be used for the larger Bull-Centaurs or Taur Centaurs (found in chaotic hosts).

It also has some rules I created for the Chaos Dwarf Juggernaut.

I have included Chaos Dwarf Swivel Gun rules that appeared in WD, and collated them into one page, so people don't have to go hunting for them.

Necromunda House Rules

I have been busy with work as usual and moved flats recently. Only just starting to get my stuff back into order.

I'm really into Necromunda at the moment. I started to write down our Necromunda house rules, and then it turned into an edit of the entire rulebook! It has cover saves, hand to hand is like WFB or Mordheim, new pinned rules (fighters can fire back but with -2 to hit), new balanced skills tables, new equipment and weapons such as Hand Cannons and Long Las.

This is based on the original Necromunda Rulebook, Rogue Trader and the Necromunda Community edition rules.


Take a look! You can download the Necromunda Rules PDF for free here:

Let me know what you think. It has some big changes, so I know that not everyone will like it.






In the meantime I also stripped a lot of old Necromunda models using Fairy Power Spray (love that stuff, doesn't smell as bad as Detol!). Got lots to paint now!

First off I got side tracked and started to paint my old Imperial Guard. Just undercoated for now. Planning on a khaki green, USMC sort of look. Might use them as Enforcers in a Necromunda arbiter scenario (thinking of repainting the Ogryns too)



Next up is a Goliath gang that I bought from GW. The first models I've bought from GW itself in about 10 years. I felt dirty afterwards. Still the models are good. I want Mad Max style gang.

 Then there are the Delaques (De-la-cue or De-lack?) A couple have lost their heads. They have a couple of Catachan heads on them at the moment, but I might use some of the gas mask style heads from Pig Iron- seen them on another blog and was very impressed.

 Then a bunch of old mini's. Some Confrontation models and space pirates even.

 These new Chaos Cultist models I got from ebay for a few quid. Not bad for plastic GW figures. Guns aren't overly huge for once.

 Another assortment of models. Some Foundry Street Violence models that might fit in with Necromunda outlaws. My Necromunda is also inspired by Fallout computer games. I would love to make a desert board when I get time, with shanty towns etc...

 ...and then I bought some servitors from ebay. As I said, easily distracted. Like the models though. Plan on painting them up in some Borg like colours. These might feature in some Arbitor campaign as well.



Oh and I've been buying up bulkheads. They cost so much on ebay! Finally got enough to start making some necromunda terrain. One I've made some of the basic necromunda scenery then I plan on making my own custom building based on Star Wars 1313 etc.

Lots to do!
