Which army do you think is overpowered in Warhammer Fantasy?
In my opinion it would have to be Warriors of Chaos basic troop on par with most other heroes and heroes that can get better through a battle also due to these eye of the gods advancements thier heroes own in campaigns

Flaming Arrows; 10 gc; Availability: Rare 7 (one game only)
Flaming Arrows can be shot from any bow or crossbow, and do not change the weapons range. A flaming arrow hit will strike at +1 Strength and -1 Armor Save. The user cannot move in the turn he wishes to use them, even if using a regular bow, unless he has special skills which allow him to do so (such as Nimble). You can purchase a quiver of them, but the special flammable substances soon go bad on exposure to air. After each game they loose their effect and you must buy another quiver if you wish to use them again.
or
Fire Arrows; 30+D6 gc; Availability: Rare 9
Fire arrows are tied with rags soaked in oil up in a tight pouch that explodes bunched up in a tight pouch that explodes when hitting the target, setting clothes and equipment alight. If you hit with a fire arrow roll a D6. If you score a 4+ your opponent has been set on fire. If the warrior survives the attack they must score a 4+ in the Recovery phase or suffer a Strength 4 hit each turn they are on fire and will be unable to do anything other then move. Other warriors from the same warband may help to put the flames out if they wish. They must move into base-to-base contact and score a 4+ in the Recovery phase.
Toughened Leather; 5 gc; Availability: Common
There is nothing like many months at sea to really toughen up clothing! Covered with crusted salt, spilled rum, and other less savory materials, many a pirate has found his long coat to have stiffened up to a very hard finish, and even offers some protection in combat.
Special Rules:
Toughened Leathers work exactly like Light Armor, giving the wearer a 6+ Armor Save, but cannot be combined with the effects of any other armor except a Helmet or Buckler. This includes using a shield - most pirates find they get in the way when fighting in the stiff leather, resulting in falling into the briny deeps when trying to board a ship!
Whew, thats ripe Matey!: Once bought (or broken in), a pirates Toughened Leathers cannot be given to another pirate or sold back at the Trading Posts

Mordheim / War of Thirteen: Mick's Merry Men
« on: March 20, 2009, 11:30:10 PM »
Michael awoke after another rough night on the road home he noticed something was odd around the camp, the fire was still going and the watchman was sleeping . As Michael got ready to discipline him a hooded figure strolled into the camp carrying firewood and two mighty warhammers at his waist. Recognising the symbol of sigmar worn around the figures' neck Mick knew this man was no threat and presumed him to be a travelling warrior-priest.
'Good Morning brother, where is your heading?' asked Michael
'Altdorf, I am to claim the imperial throne and become the first Emperor-Lector. But the road is long and treacherous and I am searching for group of faithful sigmarites to accompany me on my task.' replied the Priest
'Well a bunch of faithfuls we are but we are not willing to risk our lives for a cause so hopeless and a man we do not trust.'
'How can I gain yours' and your mens' trust?'
'Well in this trade a trial by fire often works best. A safe passage we can provide you, but to fight your cause not yet.'
'Sigmar Bless You then'
As the rest of the warband slowly awoke, a small group of beastmen encircled the camp hiding just out of sight. Suddenly the priest stopped and slowly untied his warhammers from his belt, realising the danger Mick signalled silently to his right-hand man, Franz, to get himself and his nephews ready for battle. Whilst loading his crossbow, a throwing axe embedded itself into the watchman and three huge beastmen came stampeding out of the forest. One of the beasts charged Egon but was intercepted by a devastating atack from Franz that cleaved the beast in two. Another was felled by deadly accurate crossbow fire from the Jaegers. The final and largest of the beasts charged headlong into Mick who was hard pressed to repell the intial strike but was not so lucky the next time, being beaten to ground by a powerful club. The beast raised its club for the final strike but as the club fell it fell upon an impenetrable shield created by faith, confused by its inability to kill its target the beast did not see the priest approaching from behind. When the beast did notice it was already to late as the priests blessed hammer fell upon the fiends head, crushing it to a bloody pulp.
'You, you saved my life...' said a injured Michael
'Well, so it would appear.' replied the Priest
'Priest what is your name?'
'Wolfgang Ludenhoff, warrior priest of the great god Sigmar.'
'Well Wolfgang you have my trust, and you have my mens trust. And may Sigmar help us in our quest.'
Claimant Wolfgang Ludenhof The 'Holy' the future Emperor-Lector
Captain Michael Phillus
Leader of the Group, An able leader and a deadly sharpshooter, Now as zealous as his good friend Wolfgang in achieving a truly Sigmarite Empire
Champion Franz the Ferocious
Second in command, faithful sigmarite and impressive fighter
Youngblood Egon Ferdinand
Franz's nephew and Emil's brother, has good potential
Youngblood Emil Ferdinand
Franz's nephew and Egon's brother, has good potential
2 Jaegers
1 SturmVolk
Wood Elf Hunter - El Dia Don Andar
Swashbuckler - Devante Emilio
Warband Rating Currently: 155
Turn One
Mick's Merry Men forced Jethro's 'Traitors of Hochland' to a voluntary rout, and thankfully recieving no casualties. The Jaegers feel distinctly braver after this latest skirmish. Later on finding an abandoned well, Emil later explored the well and found a small stash of treasure hidden at the bottom. Seeing a distinct like of mobile shooting Mick sought out his old friend, El Dia Don Andar, the wood elf hunter, after recruiting his services I feel this warband is one to fear.
Turn 2:
As the Merry Men rounded a corner in search of loot the keen eyes of El Dia spotted a rival warband of what appeared to consist of pale skinned lizards and rather brutal looking man. Wolfgang quickly recognised him as a threat to his claim of emperor and requested he be taken down at all costs. Locking the man in his sights El Dia advanced thankful for the lack of longrange firepower of the Lizardmen. Wolfgang and Franz led the twins and the SturmVolk over a hill and into the ruins of a building along the right flank, whilst Mick led his loyal Jaegers in to heavy cover where they could take up vantage points of the main lizard advance. El Dia let lose two arrows in quick succesion, one stuck the man in the neck and his body slumped to the ground. The leader of the lizards darted out of sight in an attempt to not share the same fate, and his was followed by his two saurus bodyguards, leaving 5 skinks slowly advancing on the Merry men. Mick fired two bolts at the skinks, stunning one. The Jaegers then finished it off whilst it was on the floor. El Dia then fired at another Skink taking it down with relative ease. Already the Lizards were being decimated, and it was only furthered as the leader decided he would much rather sulk around out of sight whilst his warband was skewered on bolts and arrows. The Skinks let off a few cheeky shots most of which missed wildly but one missing Mick narrowly. As Franz prepared to lead his troops into the assault, Mick struck down another Lizardman, and realising the battle was lost the lizards scarpered.
Mick has improved his agility somewhat after his close encounter with death [Dodge] and El Dia is on the way to becoming one of the greatest archers of the Old World [BS6]. Through training and battlefield experience Emil is becoming a dab hand with a blade [WS3] and Egon has learnt that surviving an attack is often better than to die trying to take a blow [Step-aside]. Also through grim determination and training the SturmVolks are now a mighty opponent to face [S4].
After the discovery of a Smithy the Merry Men came into possesion of 3 Halberds, very handy for battles against tough enemies.
Upon arrival back at camp the Merry Men discovered a mystrious figure was waiting for them, he revealed himself as Devante Emilio [Swashbuckler] the legandary charmer from Estalia, he also revealed that he was in Altdorf to track down a woman of unmatched beauty. Realisng he could be handy in fight [and also being a big softy] Mick quickly hired Devante.
Turn Three:
On the way out of the city, by the ruins of a church, the Merry Men came across the notorious Middenheimers, Simon's Strongbloods. Sensing the presence of a foul spellcaster amongst their ranks, Wolfgang requested that he be taken down, setting him as his target El Dia advanced fearlessly straight towards the strongbloods. Mick and his Jaegers set up behind a wall for cover and a good position for firing, Franz led his nephews and Wolfgang down the left flank to try and ambush the Middenheimers from behind some buildings and Devante took the lone SturmVolk down the right flank to try and get behind the Strongbloods. The first part of the battle saw much movement as the Merry Men got into position but El Dia quickly let loose two arrows into a hapless youngblood's jugulum, needless to say he didnt get up from that. The Jaegers then shot only managing to stun a warrior, Mick doing better by taking a warrior out of action. El Dia now had a clear shot at his target and swiftly taking him down. As Devante approached the base of a small hill a few men appeared at the top and whilst diving into cover Devante fired his pistol but only managing to knock one down. Mick fired again but failed to hit anybody, but the Jaegers did better and took down another warrior. Seeing they were now outflanked and low on men the Strongbloods fled quickly, recovering their two warriors but leaving the dead youngblood and mage behind for our capture.
Upon interrogation the mage revealed himself to be Ivan the Accursed and a Tome of Magic was discovered in his possesion, after seizing the unholy manuscript Ivan was cast back to his followers.
Afterwards another Smithy was discovered but this one had been well looted and only a sword could be found.
The Tome was sold for 100gc making the Merry Men one of the richest warbands around Altdorf.
El Dia has now become even more deadly with a bow [BS7!!] and a bounty of

For those of you that don't know
Mordheim is a city, within the Warhammer world, that has been over-run by chaos and smited by the holy twin-tailed comet of Sigmar.
Within this city warbands of brave or foolhardy warriors fight each other and the warped horrers of the city all in the search for a mysterious magical green stone called warpstone.
Many have entered the once great city in search of glory and gold....
but only few have ever returned....
and those that do are often insane, driven mad by the horrors that they have witnessed.
in this thread we can discuss tactics, warbands, scenarios and house-rules.

General Chatter - The Boozer / Amusing Stories
« on: July 28, 2008, 08:18:24 PM »
titles quite obvious
ill start it off with this one from the US
Fire authorities in California found a corpse in a burned out section of forest while assessing the damage done by a forest fire. The deceased male was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with scuba tanks on his back, flippers, and facemask. A post-mortem revealed that the person died not from burns, but from massive internal injuries.
Dental records provided a positive identification. Investigators then set about to determine how a fully clad diver ended up in the middle of a forest fire. It was revealed that on the day of the fire, the person went for a diving trip off the coast some 20 miles from the forest. The fire-fighters, seeking to control the fire as quickly as possible, called in a fleet of helicopters with very large dip buckets. Water was dipped from the ocean and then flown to the forest fire and emptied.
You guessed it. One minute our diver was making like Flipper in the Pacific, the next he was doing the breaststroke in a fire dip bucket 300 feet in the air. Apparently he extinguished exactly 5'10" of the fire. Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.
