Scenario: The West Gatehouse

 

There are many a vile warband that resides at Cut Throat's Den. Cut Throat's Den is known to house unscrupulous warbands who are some of the foulest scum to visit Mordheim. Warbands such as the Righteous Sisters, Witch Hunters and other do-gooders would shun such a decadent area.

The main path from Cut Throat's Den to The City of the Damned is by the West Gatehouse. Normally, most would think nothing of going to Mordheim via the West Gatehouse but danger lurks at every corner of Mordheim and this area is not different. The West Gatehouse remains guarded by a dark and sinister tree beast, and to enter the city from this direction adventurer must first brave passing by this monstrosity. Skeletons hang from its branches and who knows how many skulls are entwined within its blackened roots. Warbands tend to scale the walls or have found tunnels into the city from the West side in order to avoid The Giant Oak that lurks at the West Gatehouse.

The Great Oak that once stood near the ornate gates of the garden uprooted itself and began a rampage of death and destruction. A huge one hundred foot tall monster, it smashed through the perimeter wall of the gardens and began to make its way to the West Gatehouse where crowds had gathered in a desperate attempt to flee the disaster.

With evil eyes glowing red, the instrument of the Shadowlord stomped through the crowd sending broken bodies hurtling through the air as its huge branches lashed out at the throng. Few managed to escape the Northwester Quarter of the city during the disaster, as the monster had rooted itself at the gateway slaughtering all that dared to pass.

Many warbands have disappeared when they have ventured through the West Gatehouse. There are rumours The Giant Tree guards not only the West Gatehouse but treasure. The treasure horde has been rumoured to include wyrdstone, jewels, armour, weapons, precious and rare items.

Many warbands have decided to go after the Giant Tree together to split the riches but many have died by the hands of The Great Oak or my each other as truces only last as long as a warband wants.

Terrain

This is another great opportunity to use your Warhammer Fortress set to use as a gatehouse and a surrounding wall section. There should be terrain but not too much to block the movement of The Great Oak. Each player takes it in turn to place a piece of terrain, a ruined building, tower, wall, or similar piece of terrain. We suggest the terrain is set up within an area of 4' x 4' or 4' x 6' if you want to use more warbands or just like more space. Leave a 6” x 6” square in the middle of the board for the Great Oak.

Set-up

Players use normal warband set-up rules (see 'Setting up the warbands').

Special rules

The Giant Oak will be placed in the middle of the board. Each warband will roll a D3 for the amount of Dark Dryad that will be placed on the board. The Dark Dryad will be placed on the board before players roll for sides and will be placed 8 inches within the Giant Oak. The Giant Oak and Dark Dryad will always be the last “player” go move or take its turn.

The profiles of the Giant Oak and Dark Dryad can be found in the Beasts, Monsters & Townsfolk section of the Rulebook.

Warbands

Players use normal warband set-up rules (see 'Setting up the warbands').

Starting the game

Each player rolls a D6 after the terrain has been placed. The player rolling the highest roll has the first turn, and order proceed clockwise around the table (based on where players placed their warbands). The Giant Oak and evil arbours will be considered the last warband in order of play. I would suggest that players take turns playing the Evil arbours.

Ending the game

The game ends when all warbands but one has failed their Rout Test. If two or more warbands are left they may ally together to end the game but they must agree on how to split the hoard (if Great Oak and minions are OOA). If an agreement cannot be worked out then they will fight it out until a “gentlemen's” agreement is reached.

Forest Spirits
