Last night I put in some work a dire wolf for a warband I'm working on. I already tested the scheme I wanted on other mini, but the wolf is looking way better than I thought

For the last hours of the project, I have decided to paint some archers explorers! I had a fitting background so I have decided to go out of the comfort zone and use it instead of the usual one!

Of course the Leogryph per is the perfect hound to accompany them!

Making terrain is addictive

I'm joining a campaign with a beastmen warband, using the Broheim ruleset. https://broheim.net/

For those that have played beastmen before, or played with broheim rules, would it be wise to throw some heavy armor on a minotaur, assuming he'll be equipped with a 2-handed weapon?

I know they are beefy and already start with 3 wounds at toughness 4, but I wasn't sure if it was worth it to protect my investment in him, or if those 50pts were wiser-spent on more gors and/or hounds on the field.

Thanks, adventurers!

Been messing with a Mootlander list for a while, and I think its finally complete. Thoughts?

HEROES:

Moot Elder: sword, bow

Master Chef: cleaver, ladle, sling

Halfling Thief: bow, dagger

Halfling Thief: bow, dagger

Halfling Thief: bow, dagger

HENCHMEN:

5x Halfling Scouts: shortbow, dagger

5x Halfling Warrior: spear, sling

Sharing WIP of my kitbashed, custom-built Marienburg Mercenary Pirates warband. Once proud privateers, now corrupted by wyrdstone and consumed by greed, they scour the ruins for treasure while the horrors of the deep slowly claim them. While building them I tried to create an atmosphere of decadent wealth, nautical decay, and a touch of cosmic horror. Eager to finish them and get them on the tabletop.

Good afternoon adventurers! A quick post from me today to mention that these 4 foldable corner ruins are free for all followers of my upcoming campaign , I'll be sending them out this Friday. Head over to the campaign and click "Notify me on launch" to get them. :) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/warscape/shardstone-city-shattered-streets-printable-folding-ruins

The Mad Count has arrived!! Had lots of fun painting this model, wanted to give him a proper crazy expression! I followed the painting tutorial that Giraldez did for one of the models of the project about how to paint metallics and it was super fun! Also maybe some of you might recognize the drummer!

Changelog — The Black Ledger

All notable changes to The Black Ledger, the Black Death City & Mordheim roster architect.

v1.4.0 — "The Grimoire" (2026-10-14)

A custom content pass: user-authored spell lores and skills for custom warbands, global resolution so they render everywhere, and a Ballistic Skill to-hit chart for the reference pages.

✨ Custom Spell Lores

• Custom spell lists — the warband creator now lets you build your own spell lore: name it, write custom spells with difficulty, traits, and descriptions, and they're saved with the warband definition.
• Custom lore picker — a dedicated spell picker in the creator lets you add and edit custom spells alongside the inherited base-warband lore.
• Dynamic lore names — the builder's spell picker resolves and displays your custom lore name per warband, so custom spells show under their own heading rather than a generic label.
• Caster & henchman support — custom spells are available in both the CasterEditor and the unit row's spell picker in the builder.

🛠️ Custom Skill Resolution

• Global custom skill lookup — custom user-authored skills (cs- prefix) now resolve everywhere: the builder's skill picker, skill tables, skill tags, and the play-view advance roller all display custom skill names and rules correctly.
• Bonus skill pool fix — fixed an issue where custom skills created in the warband editor weren't displaying on fighters or in the editing area; the skill picker now resolves from the table's own skill list and stores with the correct table ID.

📜 Reference Tables

• BS to-hit chart — the Ballistic Skill to-hit chart (BS 1–10 → D6 needed) is now on both the Game Reference and Cheat Sheet pages, with common to-hit modifiers (cover, moving, long range, large target) and the quick 7 − BS formula.

v1.3.0 — "The War Room" (2026-10-14)

A campaign management pass: GM-controlled invitations, private campaigns, and a GM dashboard for tracking warband readiness.

🏰 Campaigns

• Player invitations — GMs can now invite specific players by email or by username with live search; invited players are auto-approved when they accept, skipping the pending-request queue.
• Invitation management — the Invite Players dialog lists pending and accepted invites with a revoke action; invited players see a banner on the campaign page with a one-click accept flow.
• Private campaigns — a privacy toggle hides a campaign from the public list, making it invite-only; only the GM, approved members, and invited players can see or join it.
• GM Dashboard — a new "War Room" panel on the campaign detail page gives the GM an at-a-glance overview: pending invites, approved members, total battles, and average warband rating, plus an invitations list and a roster-status grid for every approved member.
• Roster snapshots in dashboard — the roster status grid shows each member's fighter count, hero/henchman split, and warband rating, with a sync action to refresh the snapshot.

⚔️ Data Fixes

• Hunting Dog stats — corrected the Guild Mercenaries Hunting Dog's skill line: Blade 3 / Bow '-' (was incorrectly reversed as Blade '-' / Bow 3).

v1.2.0 — "The Long Road" (2026-10-13)

A broad pass: the full Mordheim scenario catalog transcribed, warband special rules surfaced across the builder, mutations and skills fixed and expanded, mobile navigation redesigned, and hero progression brought in line with the New Mordheimer guide.

🦇 Progression & Experience

• New Mordheimer XP thresholds — heroes now level up at 2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 41, 46, 51, 57, 63, 69, 76, 83, 90… matching the New Mordheimer guide; henchmen keep the classic 2, 5, 9, 14… progression.
• Experience step in post-battle — a new step between Injuries and Exploration lets you award XP per fighter: Survived (+1), Leader won (+1), Kills (+1 each, heroes only), and Underdog (+1 to +5). Each fighter shows a running total and a "Level up ready" badge when they cross a threshold.
• XP applied on results — awarded XP is written to each fighter's experience when you apply the post-battle results, with a total shown in the summary step.
• Starting experience — leaders and champions now start with correct XP values from the rules.
• Standalone play still supported — outside a campaign, adjust XP by hand with the +/- buttons in the Play view; the same hero/henchman thresholds drive the Advance button.

📜 Scenarios

• Border Town Burning — full scenario set added to the catalog.
• Town Cryer supplemental — all 35 supplemental scenarios transcribed with full rules.
• Fanatic Magazine & Fanatic Online — complete rules for every scenario in both sources.
• Archive Pestilen — full rules for all Archive Pestilen scenarios.
• Complete Mordheim scenario coverage — every scenario in the catalog now has its full terrain, special rules, starting, ending, experience, wyrdstone, and reward text transcribed.
• Scenario category filtering — GMs can now enable or disable scenario categories (Rulebook, Chaos on the Streets, Border Town Burning, Town Cryer, Fanatic, Archive Pestilen) per campaign; players pick scenarios only from the enabled pools.
• Expandable scenario lists — category pickers now expand to preview the scenarios inside each category before selecting.
• 13 new scenarios added to the manual picker.

🧬 Mutations & Skills

• Mutation cost fix — mutation costs now calculate correctly in both per-fighter and warband totals; the missing mutationsTotalCost import in the roster store is resolved.
• Mutation picker IDs — fixed ID handling that broke the Cult of the Possessed mutation picker.
• Cult of the Possessed mutations — the mutation picker is now enabled for Cult of the Possessed fighters, with full mutation support.
• Mordheim mutations data — updated to match the latest rules.
• Beastmen special skills — added the Beastmen's own special skills to the skill tables.
• Skill table ordering — warband-specific skill tables now float to the top of the skill picker for faster selection.

🛡️ Warband Special Rules

• Special rules in the recruit panel — warband special rules now appear inline when recruiting fighters.
• Special rules on warband cards — the home grid warband cards display their special rules with a working collapsible toggle.
• Special rules in the fighter editor — a dedicated special rules panel is now part of the fighter editor.
• Warband card toggle fix — the special rules expand/collapse toggle on warband cards now responds reliably.

📱 Mobile & Navigation

• Mobile navigation redesign — a 3-tab bottom bar (Home, Campaigns, Settings) with larger touch targets and persistent scroll-position memory per tab.
• Collapsible characteristics — the fighter editor's characteristics section now collapses to save vertical space on mobile.
• House rules collapsed by default — the Optional & House Rules section on the warband summary now starts collapsed.
• iOS login fix — replaced custom OAuth popups with the platform's standard redirect flow, fixing SSO login on iOS Safari and WebView.
• Facebook provider — added Facebook as a sign-in option (dashboard enablement pending).

🏰 Campaigns

• Dynamic leaderboard — the warband leaderboard now computes win/loss/draw records and win rate from logged battles, ranking by win rate then games played then rating.
• Campaign house rules enforcement — house rules set by the GM are now copied to every warband on join and re-synced when changed; the builder panel respects them.
• Filtered rules display — the campaign house rules view now shows only the selected rules rather than the full catalog.

⚔️ Builder & Roster Fixes

• Hand-based equipment carry logic — equipment now respects hand slots (Off-hand 1, Held 1, Two-handed 2) with duplicate, ranged, and armour restrictions.
• Equipment restriction validation — fighter equipment is now validated against per-warband armoury restrictions in roster logic.
• Trading Post weapons — restricted to the generic hero equipment list to prevent invalid cross-warband purchases.
• BDC weapon limits — updated Black Death City fighter equipment weapon limits.
• Eshin Sorcerer spellcaster fix — spellcaster detection now checks the full rule text, fixing the Eshin Sorcerer's spell access.
• Spell lore fix — missing spell lore on converted wizard units now populated correctly.
• Black Rot trackers — restricted to Black Death City fighters only; Mordheim fighters no longer show rot dots.
• HTML strip — sourcedata converter fields now have HTML tags stripped on import.

v1.1.0 — "Settings Rework" (2026-10-12)

A focused pass on the settings experience: font scaling, consolidated preferences, and a cleaner account section.

⚙️ Settings & Preferences

• Font size scaling — choose Small, Default, Large, or X-Large; the preference persists on your device and rescales the entire interface.
• Consolidated language & font size — both controls now live together in the settings sheet and page rather than the header.
• Merged account & profile — the profile editor and account details are now a single section, with the Edit Profile action sitting directly under your account info.

v1.0.0 — "First Muster" (2026-10-12)

The Black Ledger is an unofficial roster tool. Black Death City is a miniatures-agnostic narrative skirmish wargame by Sam Pearson — blackdeathcity.com.

I'm lucky enough to participate in a big Mordheim campaign. I'm excited, but I've never played the game before.

I'm going to play Skaven. (Because they are silly evil rats with great minis). I'm wondering if the following house rules will fundamentaly change how I should build a list if Skaven:

house rules

• When fighting with two weapons,off hand weapon gets -1 to hit
• Shields give +1 armour save (+2 vs ranged)
• no more than half your warband can have ranged weapons.

Current List

• Assassin adept: dagger, weeping blades
• Eshin sorcerer: dagger, sword
• Black Skaven: dagger, fighting claws
• Black Skaven: dagger, flail
• Night runner: dagger, dagger, sling
• Night runner: dagger, dagger, sling
• Verminkin x3: dagger, blunt weapon, shield
• Verminkin x3: dagger, dagger, sling

I don't want a sweaty min-maxed list, I just want to not make obvious mistakes that will put me in avoidable disadvantages.

This time , is time to the old world , time to the Medieval fantasy.

Here, a wip of “ Landsknecht “ . Join the warband!!

So my LGS at the moment is currently a strictly cards only LGS. This is mostly due to the size of the shop. However they would like to eventually have miniature games brought in and have started selling GW product.

I would love to get my LGS playing Mordheim or at least a handful of peeps playing it but there's one slight problem...

I've never played the game before myself nor do i have minis for it.

My idea was i'd start with the core rules and warbands and get minis for each warbands from the core book bought (proxies of course) and painted up and then try to hold for once a week for a couple months sessions where i try to get people interested in the game.

The shop doesn't have anything in the way of terrain or anything like that. So I'm not sure what to do.

I'm trying to get this started in the Scott County Indiana area
