Dans cet épisode 231, on plonge au cœur de trois univers sombres, intenses et complètement cultes.  On commence avec Punisher: One Last Kill, un récit brutal où Frank Castle affronte peut‑être son ultime mission. On décortique son ambiance crépusculaire, ses thèmes de vengeance et de rédemption, et ce que cette histoire apporte de nouveau au mythe du Punisher.On enchaîne ensuite avec Mordheim, ce jeu de stratégie culte qui transforme chaque ruelle en piège mortel. On revisite son esthétique gothique, ses mécaniques impitoyables et l'héritage qu'il a laissé dans le jeu de figurines et le jeu vidéo.Puis, cette semaine, on ouvre un segment double consacré à Green Lantern et aux Fantastic Four. On explore ce qui rend ces deux piliers du comic américain si différents, mais tout aussi essentiels : la mythologie cosmique des Lanternes d'un côté, et l'esprit d'aventure scientifique de la Première Famille Marvel de l'autre.Send us Fan MailLibrairie Première IssueDepuis 1984, la librairie Première Issue offre une grande sélection de bandes dessinées en anglais.Infini-JeuxInfini-Jeux est une boutique en ligne, spécialisée de vente , location et animation d'événements.StarforgedStarforged offer merchandise, like Pins, Badges, Pendant, Keychain, Ring and Collectible Coins.

Oi, travellers and treasure-hungry miscreants!Stagger back through the splintered doors of The Lucky Comet, where the ale is watered, the patrons are suspicious, and the roof only leaks when it rains.Which is always. Mordheim welcomes you like a mugger in a dark alley. Warmly, and with a knife.This time around, the lads continue our grand tour of the most cursed city in the Old World before plunging headfirst into the so-called “finest” human mercenary warbands of the original release. And by finest, we mean a stunning parade of personalities ranging from aggressively beige sellswords to fur-cloaked lunatics fighting like bears like it's perfectly reasonable behaviour.We've got rich brats playing at war, Middenheimers who think shirts are optional but wolf pelts are mandatory, and the Reiklanders are staring at us again.From muddy boots to silk slippers, from battered helms to VERY sensible trousers (we cannot stress this enough), this episode is your unofficial guide to looking your best while being horribly, irrevocably murdered in the ruins.So grab a drink, check your coin purse hasn't gone missing, and settle in.We hope you enjoy part 2 of our journey into the city of Mordheim. Assuming something in the shadows doesn't get you first.If you have questions, complaints, corrections or suggestions, email us at Underhivelorekeepers@gmail.com.

Few designers have influenced narrative miniature gaming as much as Tuomas Pirinen. From Mordheim in the late 1990s to the recent breakout success of Trench Crusade, his games have always leaned heavily toward story, character and campaign play.What surprises him most is that the latest one worked as well as it did.“We were totally prepared to lose our shirts and be happy about it,” Pirinen says of launching Trench Crusade. “But it didn't go that way.”The project was essentially a gamble between friends. Pirinen and collaborator Mike Franchina funded sculpting and development themselves, assuming the Kickstarter would be a passion project rather than a runaway hit.Part of the reason was the concept itself.“On the surface, it's very counterintuitive,” Pirinen explains. “You go into a space where there is a totally dominant player. Then you narrow your audience because the game is clearly aimed at a mature audience. And the theme is religion and its role in war, which no major games company would touch with a barge pole.”By the logic of spreadsheets and market analysis, it should not have worked.“But creative work doesn't always follow the Excel sheet,” he says. “The Excel doesn't always determine the fate of creative endeavour.”From Mordheim to Trench CrusadeFor many hobbyists, Pirinen's name is still inseparable from Mordheim. Released in 1999, the skirmish game focused on small warbands exploring the ruins of a cursed city, gaining injuries, experience and grudges along the way.“Mordheim was very narrative driven,” Pirinen says. “It wasn't about perfectly balanced competitive play. It was about creating a story with your friends as the campaign unfolds.”That philosophy has never really left his design work. Trench Crusade follows the same broad idea, although updated for modern players.“In many ways it takes that high level idea and brings it forward,” he says. “Mordheim came out in 1999, so a lot of water has flowed in the river since then.”Interestingly, Pirinen himself used to approach games very differently.“When I was younger, I was very competitive,” he admits. “Winning mattered a lot to me. These days I'm much more focused on the narrative side.”That competitive background still informs his design work. Even narrative games need solid rules.“If the rules don't work, you just end up arguing every two minutes. In a miniature game there's no dungeon master to smooth things over.”Why campaigns fall apartDespite their popularity, narrative campaigns often struggle to survive beyond the first few games. Pirinen believes the reason is mostly practical.Campaign play demands commitment. Players need to keep turning up, track experience and equipment, and maintain armies that grow over time.“It's simply more work,” he says.There is also a more subtle problem. Campaigns can collapse if one player falls too far behind early on.“A very common reason campaigns fall apart is that one player gets beaten badly in the first few games,” Pirinen explains. “They feel like nothing they do matters anymore, so they stop playing. Then the campaign falls apart.”The solution is something designers call catch-up mechanics. These systems help struggling players remain competitive without removing the reward for winning.It is a delicate balance. Too much help and victory feels meaningless. Too little and the narrative ends early.The balance paradoxBalance is often treated as the holy grail of wargame design. Pirinen is more sceptical.“Perfect balance is possible,” he says. “But it probably isn't that much fun.”The reason is simple. True balance usually means forces become increasingly similar. Yet variety and asymmetry are where the excitement lies.“A huge part of the fun is encountering something new,” he says. “A new warband, a new character, some new piece of equipment. Those things create interesting situations.”They also create imbalance.Rather than chasing perfection, Pirinen relies on extensive playtesting and data. If factions win roughly equal numbers of games over time, the design is probably healthy even if players argue otherwise.“You shouldn't always listen to what people say,” he notes. “Look at the results.”Designing the ending firstOne of Pirinen's most practical design tricks is starting from the end of a campaign rather than the beginning.“If you know the final battle, you can work backwards,” he says.That approach helps identify problems early. If a key character dying in game three would break the narrative climax, the designer can adjust the scenario before the campaign ever reaches the table.It is a method Pirinen uses not only for tabletop design but also for roleplaying campaigns and video games.“At the end of the day, it usually comes down to the final battle,” he says. “If everyone arrives there feeling they still have a chance, you've probably done well.”History and the darker side of heroismMany of Pirinen's settings feel unusually grounded compared to typical fantasy wargames. That comes from his reading habits.“I read a lot of history,” he says. “Academic history, historical novels, everything.”What interests him most are turning points where events suddenly shift direction. The fall of Constantinople. The later stages of the Hundred Years War when artillery changed siege warfare. Moments where a seemingly unstoppable trend suddenly breaks.Those moments also shape the tone of his games.“My sympathies are usually with the ordinary people,” he says. “Men and women fighting for their homes even though they had nothing to do with causing the war.”That perspective helps explain the bleak worlds found in both Mordheim and Trench Crusade. The darker the circumstances, the brighter the heroism appears.“If the situation isn't grim and challenging, you lessen the heroism,” he says.The moment that matteredFor all the discussion of rules and systems, Pirinen insists the most powerful moments in gaming rarely come from mechanics.He recalls one roleplaying campaign where the players were pursued by an enemy far beyond their ability to defeat. A beloved companion stayed behind to hold them off while the party escaped.“My players were in tears,” he says simply.No rulebook can guarantee that kind of experience.“That's something between human beings,” Pirinen explains. “It takes time for players to trust each other enough to open up like that.”A campaign worth the journeySo how long should a campaign last?Pirinen often recommends around six games. It feels like a journey without becoming overwhelming.For groups with more time, a monthly game over a year can feel truly epic. Roleplaying campaigns may stretch even longer. One of his own lasted six years.The key ingredient is not complexity or balance but investment.“You get more out if you put more of yourself into it,” he says.In the end, that philosophy runs through everything Pirinen designs. Rules matter, but they exist to support something larger.A good world. A group of friends. And the unpredictable stories that emerge when the dice hit the table.Or as he puts it, borrowing an old gaming phrase:“Let the dice tell the story.”Also MentionedDoctor Spork's TerrainThe MiniGamer Newsletter

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We are down a few people this week as we start up our show.  Bel is in the process of trying to reboot "Bel Folks Stuff" and realized that he recorded an episode with Tam that never got released.  We talk about this weird pre-pandemic time capsule.  We discuss building a table for Infinity and how it is a game that wants something more akin to Mordheim.  From there, Ash and Kodra discuss the Rabbit and Steel expansion and unlocking new content. We go down a bit of a continuation of a topic from a month ago as we discuss the games that we did not end up playing, and more specifically, Tam exploring what Ys has to offer. Ashes of Creation was one of the more successful Kickstarter MMORPGs, but that is no more, because the entire project imploded almost overnight.  We talk a bit about that situation and also what goes wrong when trying to build a niche MMORPG for a limited audience.  Finally, Tam shares some of his recent experiences learning to play Star Trek Online and trying to be successful at doing so.   Topics Discussed: Bel Folks Stuff Tam Episode Building an Infinity Table Rabbit and Steel Expansion Ys Games We Didn't Play Ashes of Creation Implosion Trying to be good at Star Trek Online

The Independent Characters is a show focused on the universe of Warhammer 40,000. However, for one of the first times ever, we are going to take a slight tour and perhaps a dimension hop to discuss an Old World topic! In this episode of The Independent Characters, we dive into the crumbling streets of the City of the Damned with Episode 260: Mordheim - Warbands and Wyrdstone. Carl, Josh, and Jody explore the gritty skirmish game that captured the imaginations of Warhammer Fantasy fans back in 1999 and still lives on through a passionate community today. We'll break down the core mechanics of Mordheim, how warbands are built and evolve, and what makes its campaign system so enduring. Then, we recount our own recent two-day campaign weekend—hosted by Jody—where warbands clashed, wyrdstone was hoarded, and lasting stories were forged in the ruins. From preparation to final battle, we share the triumphs, tragedies, and unforgettable moments of bringing this classic game back to life. While this isn't our usual content, if you're a veteran of the old world or just discovering Mordheim for the first time, this is an episode not to miss!

We go through the whole weekend, and surprise even ourselves with how much we have going on, truly a weekend for the ages. We talk about building up the boards, new things we've never tried, and events and games you can expect to see in addition to Mordheim. Paulie talks about setting up a Warmaster event for the weekend, and Terry breaks down organizing classes at UTD. Steve tells us a little about the Flames of Orion Kickstarter (linked below) and creating an addition to his massive Mordheim board project, which is now at 3' x 9'. Tyler is bummed about his car exploding, and finishing his 2000pts of undead for Warmaster, and Gage runs through all the awesome music we have lined up for the night gigs.

Come along and join Josh and Andrew as they chat to Dono about the huge Aldium in Flames tournament, a TOW and Mordheim teams event that just wrapped up a few weeks ago. It was an epic narrative event that was so seductive, even our host Josh was seduced into adulterous attendance.For more information on the work that Dono and his team of co conspirators have done.

Piccolo esperimento musicale assolutamente amatoriale, con cui rendo omaggio al Maestro De André riprendendo la sua leggendaria "Il Bombarolo" e riscrivendola in chiave Fantasy. Questa canzone rappresenta il Background della banda con cui intendo partecipare al torneo mondiale di Mordheim di settembre 2025.

In this episode, Dave and Jake chat with returning guest and rabid miniatures hobbyist Ash Barker of Guerrilla Miniature Games. This time they're talking about his 2024 project/love letter to the game Mordheim, released in 1999. Ash has been playing games with period correct warbands and terrain, and the guys will find out how it has been going!

You know it's about to be a madhouse when we have Paulie Mordheim (@wyrdstoned) and Dark Tyler (@tylerisalrightatpainting) in the mix. We've packed a lot in to this episode, from Bolt Action to 1490 Doom - we're going deep. Steve just got back from a Warhammer Fantasy LARP and tells us about running around as a Skaven. Gage breaks down all the different games he's been playing in the studio and some of the Orktober shenanigans that we had. Terry's moving his home studio around and tries to convince you to throw away your material possessions. Paul talks about being a dwarf guy at heart, and tells us about his new Mordheim warband and Tyler talks about historic hats and the people who love them.

  Trench Crusade is a new, dark sci-fi miniatures game that brings a unique spin to the wargaming genre, designed by former Diablo concept artist Mike Franchina and Mordheim co-creator Tuomas Pirinen. Inspired by World War I with an alternate history twist, the game reimagines the First Crusade, where Templar forces accidentally open a portal […]

25 Years of Mordheim! In this episode, Dave and Jake are chatting with Turhan Buckley the man behind the Mordheim focused website broheim.net about the GW game celebrating a quarter century, Mordheim. Despite not receiving any support from Games Workshop for well over a decade, Mordheim has not only spawned dozens of indie games, but is perhaps stronger than it has ever been!

Gary Morley is a legendary miniatures sculptor who worked at Games Workshop in the 90s and early 2000s. During his time with the Citadel team he was massively prolific, producing miniatures for the Warhammer Undead and many other fantasy armies, Necromunda, 40k, Warhammer Quest, Mordheim, and the entire Blood Bowl range. His Nagash miniature maybe one of his most famous, but there are countless amazing minis in his long career, and we talk about all of it!Gary Morley Interview.

We've got Andrew Hollis on today (aka Dono/Herald of the Old World) to discuss the upcoming Old World and Mordheim narrative event being run in Canberra in January. A great and insightful look at how organised 'tournament' play can still be run narratively and with full immersion. Very excited to see these events popping up and hopefully growing into 2025 and beyondEnjoy!

My guest this month was legendary game designer, Tuomas Pirinen! Tuomas was the creator of Mordheim, the lead developer of Warhammer Fantasy Battle 6th Edition, Warhammer Siege, and countless other miniatures games as well as video games, having worked at EA, Ubisoft and other companies. Most recently, Tuomas has signed on to create the rules for the upcoming Trench Crusade miniatures game and he was kind enough to talk to me about all of the above, including why he thinks Mordheim's popularity has endured for a quarter of a century, and most of that time unofficially supported! We also talked at length about the gameplay of Trench Crusade and what he loves most of all about this upcoming gritty and bleak skirmish game.Follow Tuomas on Facebook and learn more about Trench Crusade, take part in their open playtest, and join their community on Facebook.As usual, this podcast was exclusive to Brush Wielders Union members for a few days before being released to general audiences.brushwieldersunion.com

Tuomas in conversation with Jordan Sorcery.In my second conversation with Tuomas Pirinen (you can find my first interview exclusively on my Patreon) we talk about his work redefining Chaos in the Warhammer Old World, and beginning the journey to dividing the forces of the ruinous power by beast, warrior, daemon, and god. We also explored Tuomas' complete reinvention of the magic system for Warhammer Fantasy's 6th edition, a change that would give the game incredible new life and power it for it's next few editions.Support my work:Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/jordansorcery]Element Games Affiliate Link [https://elementgames.co.uk/?d=11216]Download my Fantasy Battle Scenario: Dead King Wenceslas [https://jordansorcery.itch.io/dead-king-wenceslas]Ko-Fi [https://ko-fi.com/jordansorcery]Discord [https://discord.gg/vtjKzTGevD]Trench Crusade [https://www.facebook.com/trenchcrusadeofficial/]This episode was originally released via YouTube: https://youtu.be/Xq6jekHssCA

In this episode, we interview people at Adepticon (2024), the United States largest miniature wargames convention! It was our first time at the convention, but we were able to set up our recording equipment in the Grimdark Hallway, run by our friends from Hive Scum. Below are time stamps of where you can listen to each interview!00.56 - Greg Wier (denimdayjob) chats with Eli (Redwetskeleton) and Jonny (witchhammerstudio) the morning after their first day at the convention. 06.06 - Eric and Adam Wier chat with Adam Loper of Tabletop Minions, touching on painting competitions and game design!31:38 - Greg chats with Grant (underworldalliance) about the Kislev Mordheim warband he built and painted using Kingdom Death plastic models.45:12 - Greg chats with Trent (miscast.co) and Bill (berserkerwrks) about MEK28 and videogames, including Unreal Tournament.1:10:40 - Greg chats with Alex (av.hobbies) and Mark (moshartz) about everyone's favorite Games Workshop game, Mordheim.1:24:12 - Greg chats with Mark (moshartz) and Martin McCoy (martin.mccoy.art) about Malört, Chicago's favorite drink, and creating artwork.

Mark Wells in conversation with Jordan Sorcery.We explore a period of incredible change in the organisation as it shifts from the 90s approach of 2 core games (Warhammer Fantasy & Warhammer 40,000) with specialist games like Gorka Morka, Necromunda, and Mordheim alongside them, to the 2000s focus on 3 core systems - Warhammer Fantasy Battle, 40K, and the Lord of the Rings.During Mark's tenure at the company there were many exciting, challenging, and at times controversial decisions, changes, and products. This was the era that saw the rise of the internet, the legal wrangles with Chapter House, the end and then return of the boxed game (and one of the best GW ever made in Space Hulk 3rd edition), the introduction of one-man retail stores, and a host of other inflection points in the story of Games Workshop.Support my work:Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/jordansorcery]Element Games Affiliate Link [https://elementgames.co.uk/?d=11216]Download my Fantasy Battle Scenario: Dead King Wenceslas [https://jordansorcery.itch.io/dead-king-wenceslas]Ko-Fi [https://ko-fi.com/jordansorcery]Discord [https://discord.gg/vtjKzTGevD]This episode was originally released via YouTube: https://youtu.be/jh3o-BkXpNw

There's much to catch up on after so many great conversations on the podcast, recently. Here's an attempt to do just that: Voice question of the month - will you be playing Warhammer: The Old World?A game of Brutal Quest in Mordheim, ships for ArmadaBasing miniatures before undercoating them (15mm trolls)Best miniature game mechanicsPainting Jareth/David Bowie the Goblin King (and a Kev Adams demon)Review of the Sci-fi Skirmish Scenarios bookThe Slow Hobbyist ManifestoSingle miniature and arena combat game ideas

In part two of a special two part episode, we interview people who attended Under the Dice Fest 2024, a small festival in Massachusetts celebrating miniature-based tabletop wargaming. The festival was designed to appeal to those who shy away from the mainstream iterations of the miniature wargaming hobby, focusing on those who want play the games on their own terms, sometimes outside of the scope of the game rules as written, or those who want to play old games which are no longer supported by their publishers. It is highlighting those who are more concerned with telling a story with the miniatures they build than with creating something that would be optimal in terms of a game's rule system. A punk rock approach to the miniature wargaming hobby, if you will.

The gates of Mordheim grow ever closer! Shoutout to all those scumlords who are heading to NEMO this weekend, we are putting this out a couple days early to give you something to enjoy during your travels! Thanks for joining us for Episode 25. Today we've officially ousted Terry and replaced him with the much more handsome Paulie Mordheim (@wyrdstoned). Paul brought us our topic for today, "what type of gamer are you?" What do we like in a game, what do we look for in a game, what do we want to get out of a game, and how does the hobby side tie into it all? Phil talks about how he creates his narratives in his head through the act of playing the game, and Steve talks his love for Morrowind and how it informed his obsession for exploration rolls. Paul talks about almost losing an eye pewter casting, and Gage talks about how it's style over everything in gaming, starting with a seed of a narrative prompt and building off it.

In this episode we are joined by Bill Ford, host of Mordheim 2022, to talk about the Vastarian: Dreams of the Pious Open Invitational we recently started on Between the Bolter and Me. We describe the Vastarian setting, and how it is filled with warring Imperial cults, each certain their own ideology will usher in a new age of prosperity for the Imperium. We talk about how Mordheim and Inquisitor influenced the setting and how it offers a way to continue to expand the Church of the Red Athenæum, after Iron Sleet's Pilgrym event. We also talk about how the writing of Thomas Ligotti shaped aspects of the setting, as well as make some musical suggestions to put you in the right mindset for diving into the setting yourself!Follow Bill FordRead about the Vastarian Open InvitationalRead about the Church of the Red Athenæum

This week I am joined by Tory from the Broheim website to discuss Mordheim and the longevity of GW's classic Specialist Games.

Our fourth episode starts with the end … of Mordheim! We explore the destruction of the city, its cause, the warbands that flock to the city for Wyrdstone (TM), some of the more notable locations, and what, if any, benefits this all provides to Vlad von Carstien, the Vampire Count of Sylvania. We then pivot into the story of the First Vampire War, where the Empire is once again brought to the brink of destruction! We look at the impact this has on both the Living and the Dead as Vlad goes on his happy-funtime tour of zombie recruitment being destroyed and returning to “life” several times. We close out with the story of Felix Mann, the Empire's greatest thief who *spoiler warning* steals something of great importance from the vampire's nap camp leading ultimately to Vlad's true death.   This month's episode is sponsored by Sylvanian Childcare Programme.   Production assistance from James 'That One Asshole' Alquist.   Show Notes and Imagery for this Episode: https://layingdownthelore.com/ep26/   _______________________   If you dig what we're putting down and want more juicy content, head over to our Patreon.
