    I do not really know these details, but wasn't Mordheim been created by some Finnish guy who isn't working for GW any more? My youtube tried suggest quite many videos about new game with name something like "Crusader Trenches" or something like that. And some of those headlines of video suggestions said, that it is made by Mordheim creator. I just wondering, how much there could be also legal questions, not only GW's power politics? I mean, if I understood correctly, there was Lord of the Rings tabletop game by GW, which was very popular (some even claim that it's popularity killed Warhammer Fantasybattle - I do not know these things), and that game vanished too... Why? Because they do not have licence for LOTR any more? Those things, I already mentioned, I really do not know. But let's be honest: GW is "Disney of tabletop wargaming", they try to dominate. I mean, 80% of Warhammer and Warhammer 40K is really from Michael Moorcock's book series, like Hawkmoon - not GW's creations really. But they try to trademark everything what they can, so that no one can copy their works, like they copied other people's works (same about Mickey Mouse, Snowy White, etc etc. by Disney). Also, like Disney, GW "discourages" any of their workers to claim that they did that sculpt or that work - for GW/Disney, everything was created and owned by company, not by humans. For them, politics and choices they make, are mainly about domination and control. Their idea is, that they get more money by dominating, than actually making good things (things in good ways). I think GW intentionally make too small prints for their things, to cause certain psychological effect on people - they believe that it improves their dominance and therefore be good for their business (or at least some corporat inside of GW explained to rest of GW leadership that it is cool and good politics for them - possibly to cover up, that he screwed things up...telling, that screwing up was actually good thing, and everyone actually should start screwing up in that way... Bit like story of Emperor with "new cloths", where only little child told loudly that the emperor does not have cloths at all, while everyone else tried to pretend that he has actually cloths).

    I agree completely. I've played in several campaigns over the years, and I love the game. Aside from some balance issues, like you said, I feel it's the best game GW has ever put out in based on the cohesive feel and quality of the rules. And saying that, if they rebooted it now I don't think it would have the same level of quality. I'm sure the minis and books would look fantastic, but I don't think the rules would be as good. And like you said, it can be very inexpensive to start playing. In the last campaign I was in, I was able to use all Reaper Bones minis for my Undead warband. They were cheap and worked great once I put them on square bases. There are so many generic fantasy minis you can use. The prepainted Whizkids minis would work well too if you don't want to do any of the hobby side of it.

    I'm new to wargaming and ive been playing 5th edition 40k with my brother on Tabletop Simulator and its been a blast, way more fun and straightforward then trying to learn 10th edition and dealing with those insane prices i hope soon i can learn how to make terrain and find how to get 3d printed minis for solid price soon so i can enjoy the game for real physically.

    Always hated the rules, unbalanced and made no sense. Would rather throw support behind something like Burrows and Badgers, good rules - about to get a second edition, sexy 1 piece models for 10% of the price, also has a campaign system. Best of all, a super responsive 2 person operation behind the game. Check it out!

    GW does print on demand already. My buddy ordered first edition Rogue Trader, it came nicely printed etc. Only downside was that it was coming to him for about six months and contact with GW customer service was abyssmal. And also they're doing it the "FOMO" way, so the rulebook and some old minis were limited time exclusive.

    I think you are spot on with your assesment.. I always found it strange that they put all the old source books and such up on their Warhammer subscription, and then took out all the old rules.. I think a Print on Demand would be great.. Would make it more accessible :D And yes FrostGrave models would be great indeed.. North Star models in Nottingham also produce some cool models that would work so well in Mordheim

    Do you realise you can just download the free domain pdfs from broheim and get a printer to make a book for you? I literally just printed the mordheim rulebook with erata as a high quality beautiful hardcover with better binding than the originals and was able to get the price down lower than what GW sells codexs for. The best thing gw can do is stay out.

    Society has prioritized women and children for too long, leaving younger men feeling isolated and anomic. As a result, those young men are withdrawing from society, no longer contributing with their labor, being unwilling to join the military and unwilling to take part in 'third spaces', in no small part because they feel their third places are invaded by people who will not let them speak or express themselves freely. People made this a zero-sum game, or perhaps it always had to be. And that will have serious repercussions for our society going forward. Mass events, increasing political extremism, hostility toward outgroups; all will increase because we alienated young men. And if anyone actually responds to that, the response will be more likely to be an example of that alienating force, than it is to be legitimately engagement.

    I was stuck for years at the same level and didnt know how to improve. Then I found out about OSL, NMM, Washes, Loaded Brush, Wetblending and how to maximize the contrast. From then onwars I challenged myself to incorporate these techniques in my painting and started improving again surprisingly quickly.

    The only thing that Games Workshop have to do with Mordheim is re-release old miniatures, cause sometimes is a bit hard to make a band of skavens with guns or a good portrait of 10 Reikland mercenaries with current AoS miniatures. If they try to launch a new Mordheim, people will just ignore it and keep playing the old one.

    Never had the chance to play the game but would really like to. However, I would just take the core rule book (on demand print or pdf) and 3d print miniatures and make my own terrains. They could really just make it miniatures and terrains agnostic. There are so much resources on the internet to get you minis and terrains (or DIY). Thanks for this video.

    Definitely get in early on in the series before it is phased out. Buy everything you need and don't buy every edition of every game unless it's only the codex and rules, for standalone series and the like I have almost everything for newcromunda and I don't intend collecting the next edition if it comes around. Likewise I have first edition of kill team and I think it is more like a smaller version of 40k which can be played quickly and on a smaller table with slightly more technical gameplay. No new gimmicky dice rolls and special rulers for every movement. I do collect some night vault stuff but only occasionally and that is always expanding so I can jump in and out with the same core mechanics and it never gets old. Likewise I am collecting dandd 5th edition and I think one good ruleset is enough for me, I doubt I would play any other edition. Personally I like to play lots of different game sets without too much crossover in type and for all the different warhammer games I play different armies in each one. So I am playing as Orks in warpforge but decided not to buy their combat patrol and went for the adeptus sororitas instead because they are striking new sculpts and are all plastic instead of the old metal ones that were really expensive and now they have a lot more options in all areas.

    Sorry, but this is such a bad take A remake would not change the game for anyone who wants things to stay the same. What it would do is open it up to those who want new official rules, not build their own terrain, not use weird kitbashed or out of place miniatures etc.

    I have both a P1S and an A1 - I don’t think you can go wrong with either. Having said that the A1 is definitely the easiest 3d printer I’ve ever used. My 14 year old assembled it, and uses it without any input from me and is busy making all kinds of prints for the school market. I’d also recommend tinkercad - free online - as an incredibly beginner friendly stl editing programme, so if you need a small modification / addition or removal from a model it’s a great place to start.

    As a new to warhammer person, my biggest beef besides the malicious pricing, is the fact that they keep changing the rules. I don't mind new models, new lore, new codex books, but leave the fecking rules alone. If they re-released mordheim, as it was in its original form, I'd buy it. . . . . Unless the pricing is malicious. Print on demand would be great.

Now, I just kinda pour my hobby time and energy into other projects. But my girlfriend has been wanting to try painting some models, specifically tyranids anyway, and I have been wanting to play the game with her, so it may be a good opportunity to let her do the genestealers, and I'll do the Terminators. Maybe.

    I think that if they decide to bring Mordheim back it's to replace WarCry. Because I think that at marketing level, both games would canibalise each other. Also the Mordheim community is fully equipped already, WarCry is struggling to attract new player so I don't see really a niche for them...
