Equipment List

There follows a list of equipment for use in the ruins of Mordheim. It is broken down into

Weapons, Armour and Miscellaneous Equipment.

WEAPONS

All of the new weapons are uncommon specialist items wrought by a master

weaponsmith. They are not available to starting warbands and can only be used by heroes

with the combat skill Weapons Training.

Rapier

The rapier is a long thin blade commonly used by duellists. It is a deadly, sharp weapon

capable of delivering a multitude of blows but lacks the power of a broadsword.

Range: Close Combat

Strength: As user

Special Rules: Parry, Barrage, armour save

SPECIAL RULES

Parry: Like all swords, you may use a rapier to parry in hand-to-hand combat. When

your opponent scores a hit you must roll a D6. If you can score greater than the highest

‘to hit’ roll you have parried the blow and the attack is discarded.

Barrage: A rapier is light and flexible, and while this makes it less powerful than a

broadsword or an axe it means that a warrior using a rapier can make a barrage of quick

attacks before his opponent has time to react. A well trained swordsman could inflict a

multitude of light wounds in mere seconds, often enough to incapacitate the hardest of

foes. A warrior armed with a rapier rolls to hit and to wound as normal. However, if you

manage to hit your opponent, but fail to wound you may attack again just as if you had

another attack but at –1 to hit (down to a maximum of needing a ‘6’ to hit) You may

continue attacking as long as you hit and it is possible to strike your opponent many

times, particularly if your warrior has more than one attack on his profile.

Armour Save: Because a rapier is a very light sword that lacks the thick, armour

breaking blade of the broadsword, armour saves are made at +1 (ie. if the opponent has

no armour save at all he still receives a 6+ save.)

‘Greetings travellers, come and closer step into the light of the fire where

I can see you. Ah yes, that’s better, my eyes aren’t what they used to be

you know. There was once a time when I could shoot a bead of sweat off

a man’s brow and not draw blood. Ah, halcyon days…’

‘My name? Most call me Nickel if that suits you. I am but a simple

shopkeeper and a simple name seems to fit. So what may I do for you

eh… ‘gentlemen’?

‘Supplies? Why of course. I have the very best. If you have the coin…‘’I

wouldn’t do that if I were you. My aim with this crossbow may have

faltered slightly but I can still hit a bead of sweat on a man’s forehead I

just can’t manage not to draw blood… Now, if you’ve finished playing

around step through this way and we can do business…

Record of a conversation between Nickel the Freetrader and an ill-fated

warband .

Sword Breaker

The sword breaker is a specialist weapon wrought by only the most talented

swordsmiths. Next to the hilt are two prongs concealed within the blade that can be used

to trap an opponent’s blade, twisting and snapping it with a single, well timed movement.

Range: Close Combat;

Strength: As user;

Special Rules: Parry, Trap Blade

SPECIAL RULES

Parry: The sword breaker allows the wielder to parry the attacks of his opponents in

close combat. When your opponent scores a hit roll a D6. If you can roll greater than the

highest 'to hit' roll of your opponent you have parried the attack and the blow is wasted.

Trap Blade: The two prongs used to trap an opponent's weapon are snapped out when

the warrior parries. Whenever you make a successful parry attempt roll a D6. If you score

a 4+ you break the weapon your opponent was using. The weapon is now useless and

they must use another one, or if they have no other weapon, resort to unarmed combat.

Brazier Iron

The brazier Iron is a weapon commonly used by witch hunters. It consists of a long heft

topped by an iron cup filled with burning hot coals. In combat, the weapon takes on an

eldritch quality as the burning embers sear the air as it is swung, opponents sent reeling

in flaming agony as they are set on fire.

Range: Close Combat

Strength: As user +1

Special Ruler: Two handed, Fire

SPECIAL RULES

Two handed: A warrior armed with a brazier staff requires two hands to wield it

effectively and so may not use a shield with it or another hand weapon or buckler in close

combat. The warrior may still use a shield for the purposes of missile fire though.

Fire: The burning brazier of coals atop the staff is deadly, capable of setting an opponent

ablaze with even the slightest glancing blow. Whenever you score a successful hit with

the brazier staff roll a D6. If you roll a 5+ the victim is set on fire. If the warrior survives

the attack they must score a 4+ in the recovery phase or they will suffer a strength 4 hit

each turn they are on fire and will be unable to do anything other than move. Other

warriors from the same warband may help to put the warrior out if they wish. They must

move into base-to-base contact and score a 4+ in the recovery phase.

ARMOUR

There are many types of armour available in the trader's outposts which encircle

Mordheim. Some are more unusual than others, many warriors using unorthodox

methods of protection but then such is the eclectic nature of those who join the

adventuring warbands of the City of the Damned.

Pavise

A pavise is a huge shield commonly used by regiments of warriors in battle to defend

themselves from the arrows of their enemies. It is a weighty item and little use in a long

protracted combat but excellent against shooting.

SPECIAL RULES

Cover/Save: A warrior using a pavise counts as if he is in cover against missile attacks (-

1 to hit). In close combat, The pavise counts as a shield (+1 armour save) but only if the

warrior was charged to his front. Because the Pavise is so heavy and cumbersome, the

bearer moves at half pace.

MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT

The following miscellaneous equipment can be added to that found on page 52 in the

Mordheim rule book. It follows all of the usual rules for miscellaneous equipment as

given in that section.

Telescope

Common to the great astronomers in the observatories at Nuln, telescopes are a useful, if

highly rare, item to have in the City of the Damned. The keen view offered by these

instruments makes shooting easier and gives an unparalleled awareness of a warrior's

surroundings.

Any hero using a telescope may increase the range of any missile weapon he is using by

D6 inches each turn. Furthermore, he triples the distance at which he can spot hidden

enemies.

Caltrop

Originally used on the battlefield to impede cavalry charges, a caltrop is a small spiked

iron ball. In the City of the Damned a pouch of these small items can be enough to deter

any attacker who risks serious injury should they try to charge over them.

There are enough caltrops to last for one use only. They may be used when an opponent

decides to charge. The defender simply throws the caltrops into the path of his attacker

and they reduce his charge range by D6 inches. If this means that the attacker cannot

reach his target then it is a failed charge.

Fire Bomb

and deadly weapon. A small batch of gunpowder is sealed within an iron casing with a

short fuse fed into it. When lit the thrower has only seconds before the gunpowder ignites

and explodes. This can often prove to be dangerous as if the fire bomb is fused

incorrectly it could be the thrower who finds himself amidst the explosion...

The fire bomb may be thrown in the shooting phase in the same way as blessed water

(see p53 Mordheim rule book). If the bomb lands on target the warrior hit takes D3

Strength 4 hits with no saves for armour and all warriors, friend or foe, within 1 inch of

him take 1 Strength 3 hit with saves as normal. If the throwing warrior rolls a 1 when

rolling to hit the bomb misfires and explodes just as if the throwing warrior had been hit

by his own fire bomb!

Flash Powder

An ancient Dwarf creation, flash powder is used in mines to illuminate darkened fissures

in the search for gold and other precious minerals. In Mordheim, small bags of this

substance can be used to blind enemies, throwing them into disarray as you launch your

attack.

Flash powder can be thrown as an enemy charges the wielder (as an interrupt). The

charger must take an immediate Initiative test in order to cover their eyes. If he fails, he is

temporarily blinded and it counts as a failed charge. There is only enough flash powder

for one use during the battle.

Fire Arrows

Fire arrows are tied with rags soaked in oil bunched tip to 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. They must roll a D6 in the recovery phase and score a 4+ to put themselves out or

they will suffer a strength 4 hit and will be unable to do anything other than move for

each turn they are on fire. Allies may also attempt to put the warrior out. They must be in

base contact and need a 4+ to be successful. The fire arrows last for one battle only.

War Horn

The blaring sound of a war horn can be enough to stir the hearts of any warband which

it is attempting to bolster. It grants men courage and gives them the will to fight on

defiantly.

A war horn may be used once per battle at the beginning of any turn. It allows the

warband to increase its Leadership by +1. The effect will last from the start of one turn to

the start of the next. The war horn can be used just before a warband is about to take a

rout test.

Rabbit's foot

The rabbit's foot is it symbol of good luck and often worn about the neck on a thin cord of

leather by superstitious warriors.

A rabbit's foot allows the warrior wearing it to reroll one dice during the battle. If not

used in the battle it can be used to reroll one dice during the exploration phase providing

the hero is able to search through the ruins..
