Mordorheim Rules & Unit Stats (Converting WHFB Stats)

 Here are the Mordorheim custom rules set for this blog. And yes, you may have noticed that Ive updated the blog's top banner graphic.

To make games easier for me, I have simplified the Warhammer/Mordheim rules and stats. They are still I Go You Go, which is what I like. No charts "to-hit" or "to-wound" need to be used anymore, all info will be on the unit stats. I like d6's so that is the only die needed to play.

Combat: Attacker rolls Melee "To-Wound"(or Range if available), defender rolls To-Save. Only attacker may atttack during his/her turn.

Attacks stat is the number of dice rolled in Melee combat. Ranged attacks are not modifed by Attacks stat and are usually just 1 attack unless noted otherwise.

Health stat is the number of wounds a unit can take before being knocked out of the battle.

Leadership is now for overcoming fear or stun checks which cause inaction for a turn. Fear or stun checks are caused by special abilities as noted on unit abilities.

Charge: During movement phase, may move at double speed to base contact with enemy.

Magic: Each spell can only be cast successfully once per battle. Only 1 spell can be attempted each turn. A failed spell can be tried again in upcoming turns until it is successfully cast. 

Turn Sequence: Move/Charge, Missile Fire/Cast Magic, Melee Combat

 To convert Warhammer stats to Mordorheim stats: 

1) change Weapon Skill to Melee: WS of 3 = 4+, less than WS 3 = 5+, more than WS 3 = 3+

2) change Ballistic Skill to Range Attack: BS of 3 = 4+, less than BS 3 = 5+, more than BS 3 = 3+

3) change Toughness to Save: T of 4 = 6+ Save, T of 6 or more = 5+ Save, Light armor = a further -1 to Save, Heavy armor = further -2 to Save, Shield = further -1 to Save. Maximum stat of 3+ Save.

4) Change Leadership (old) to Leadership (new): LD of 7 = 4+, more than 7 = 3+, Initiative of 4 or more is a further -1 to Leadership.

And here are the new stats for our heroes (heroines):
