In the lore of the game, Mordheim is a city of the Empire, existing in roughly the same time period as the now-discontinued Warhammer Fantasy Battles (soon to be revived in Warhammer: The Old World tabletop game). If you enjoyed reading Joe Abercrombie’s The First Law Trilogy (you should read it, it is that good) or playing The Witcher, you’ll find something to like in Mordheim. What distinguishes Mordheim from other tabletop skirmish games is its commitment to a very particular ‘low fantasy’ aesthetic, where greed and betrayal rule the day, there are no clear-cut ‘good guys’, and only the ruthless prosper.

If Age of Sigmar is the Battle of Pelennor Fields from The Lord of the Rings, Mordheim is a street fight in Game of Thrones. Mordheim is a tabletop skirmish game in which players take control of a small warband, battling it out with other warbands in search of treasure and glory in the ruined city of Mordheim.
