Updates​

  • I have started converting the warband, magic, and hired sword data to a JSON format instead of plain text, you can find it here, there should be no difference in rules but I am still working on it. The hope is that since it will be in JSON format, rosterbuilders can import this data. Warning very much WIP, see below the cut for details of open issues
  • Added the Nipponese Expedition warband to 2a by @Krakatoa. This warband has been playtested thouroughly by the SoCal Mordheim group and given multiple rounds of feedback in the Mordheim Discord #homebrew channel.
  • Updated the Cursed Cavalcade to a new pdf made by members of the Mordheim Italia group.
  • Cleaned up the wounding sections for the shooting and the close combat pages. and consolidated the injury page.
  • Added a Base Size Guide
  • Updated the Rhinox and Temple dog with their shared rules (Skull of Iron, Staggered, but not down, warband rating).

Bugs/QOL fixes​

  • Updated all the 2a warband special items to get the nice border around them
  • Minor fixes to 1b Arabian Tomb Raiders
  • Changed all back end gold cost to integers instead of text strings, variable cost is now stored as #D6, or D6 x #, with an average of 3.5gc per D6
  • Made warband and model caveats filter-aware (you won't see "beastmen only" when selecting beastmen in the filter), splitting up caveats should fix some missing info on the warbands
  • Cleaned up custom TOC code
  • @Luftwaffle found an issue in the Shadow Warriors Shadowbind spell where it was using info from the original town cryer, and not the 2002 Annual
  • @thagsimm0ns found a whole bunch of typos, among which a very old one in the Art of Silent Death FAQ
  • Core warband skills were listed as 1a

TODO​

Back-end

  • Convert warbands to JSON (WIP):

    • implemented: "warbandAdmonition":
    • implemented: admonition per special rule
    • See averlanders, mace / hammer, show as full JSON Lookup instead of itemname, alias nt work because of parenthesis
    • For choice of warriors, when it says "up to 1", change it to "a single", also consider written out text?
    • see CotP Posessed/Mutants & CoC mutants, add costsuffix to warrior cost for mutations, can also house errata/faq
    • Coc Plague cart, admonition at top of warrior? At least fix it so it has proper format
    • core warbands still show grade 1a
    • See dwarf treasure hunters, Author is missing?
    • merc wolfcloak, Dwarf treasure hunters, add a itemcaveat section? e.g * heroes only
    • Kislev Streltsi weapons note
    • mercenary Ostermark source link
    • Fix modelCaveat for in-warband skill restrictions (like dwarf slayers)
    • if multiple special skill lists, add subheading (dwarfs/pit fighters)
    • Lizardmen skills caveat skinks/saurus. subheading?
    • re-apply stat errata html (norse wulfen)
    • fix choicefluff (eg pirates)
    • add a choiceofwarriors caveat (pirates)
    • Kislev choice of warriors trained bear note
    • Cleric: Your warband may include up to one Cleric, but he can only be taken instead of either a Champion or a Petty Thief.
    • Orc mob, all the choice notes
    • ostlander double-barrelled hunting rifle, need hard lookup override, also double check double barelled pistol
    • see skaven skill table, need errata option
    • equipment errata/faq in costsuffix
    • Add equipmentadmonition/notes
    • shadow warrior equipment limitations
    • Pirate flowchart (convert to json compatible html and add to rule)
    • weapons/armour: [plural] may be equipped with blabla
    • Exclude some warband specific items

  • Convert HS/DP plain text rules to json, merge with current json (convert cost/upkeep to int), to allow warband/grade filters on HS/DP pages similar to item and skill pages. WIP

    • fix 1b dp flavour texts

  • Add a new "setting" field to items, warbands, HS, etc. This will allow filtering pages and tables based on a particular setting in addition to grade. (WIP)

  • Add critical hits and injuries to shooting calculator.

Campaign Settings

Some of these settings are very expansive, I believe Mutiny in Marienburg is a total of 350 pages worth of material and is basically a rewrite of the whole game bar the core rules, I am not sure if I'll ever convert these to the format used by mordheimer.net

  • Araby, Relics of the Crusade.
  • Mousillon
  • Mutiny In Marienburg
  • Sartosa
  • The Sealed City
  • Sylvania
  • Others?
