Heya guys its been on my mind what do you guys thinks better

Still would like to know what you guys prefer
Cheers

My only real complaint about inquisitor is at 54mm the official models are fragile, and the scenery has to be largely home made. Converting is fun though, and the models can be bought very cheaply!
Don't get me wrong, I game in 1/35/54mm, but sci fi scenery at that scale is hard to come by. And there's only so many ruined European towns that can be scourged by the Inquisition!
I think Mordheim wins out because of the plethora of figures and terrain available.
Drop inquisitor down to 28, now you've got some competition!
Are both rule sets still free?
-
Both rulesets should still be free from the GW site.
It's easy enough to drop Inquisitor down to 28mm, that's what we've done in our little group, but for now I'd say go for Mordheim, will give you a lot more flexibility when it comes to buying warbands and is less rules-intensive.
-
Mordheim for me :D So much more potential in 28 but moving Inquisitor to 28 had never even occured to me :)
cheers

I've even managed to put an Inquisitor warband together without using any GW minis, although I have scavenged some GW weapons and a servo skull from a gaming buddy.
-
Aye, there's quite a few GW similar figures out there it can't be hard anymore :)
cheers

Actually most of the figures have come from the Dark Age range rather than a clone GW range.

Cool, they have some pretty good sculpts and style :)

Not quite got that far, our little gaming group has been too busy with Uni work to get gaming with them.
-

Well the reason ive picked INQ over Mordheim is well i dont know
I really am tempted to jump at mordheim and i really cant make my mind up i need to find out what they play at the FLGS I know they play INQ but i dont know about Mordheim
-

Have fun, a point of advice, at some time you will probably find yourself getting bored with the standard scenario’s, even tough there are a few. Luckily there are a number of fan created scenario’s available, ones that won a competition for best written scenario’s no less. Those tend to be to specific for common use, but mixing them I’m allows a lot extra diversity.
-
Onebig thankyou for that rather large collection of Mordheim things getting my teeth into Town Cryer 1 as we speak
Thanks for the help guys

The true telling point about Inquisitor was that we played it in 28mm when I worked at GW HQ. ;)
I liked both games but Mordheim was a simpler game.
-
It simply goes to show that two good things don’t always go together. The inquisitor makes for interesting campaign play, especially with the campaign books. I don’t particularly care for the system but since dark heresy also uses something similar so I guess they find it a good representation of 40K.
On the other side larger scale 40K minis are an interesting idea from modeling standpoint.
But that doesn’t make it a good mix.
-
Hmm I still cant decide, down to the fact that its played at my local GW So i could get a few games in, but its at a weird scale and its exspensive models.
Even so it looks like a great system but i dont want to get bogged down in rules.
Therefore Mordheim is looking better but im really no sure.
I think tis going to be Mordheim though!
Steve
-
I think Mordheim is the easier option, you can get as bogged down in it as much as you want, whereas Inqusitor starts quite in depth.
cheers
James

Guys ive just had a big kick in the balls of Gamesworkshop there not selling Mordheim so ill gave to play from pdf which is going to be hard.
So im going to get INQ Aswell
Cheers

I'm sure there'd be a copy on ebay or somewhere.

Some great points here, but one other point to consider when dealing with Inquisitor vs. Mordheim. Inquisitor does (or did, when I had the rulebook) require a Game Master. No such problem with Mordheim. Everybody gets to play, at least in theory:)
-Doc
-
I played Mordheim for over 5 years of my life. Solid. At least once a week...every week. I believe this game to be Games Workshop at its best and many of my gaming buddies would agree...Inquisitor, not so much. It is just about everything I DON"T like about gaming.
-
Another vote for =I= in 28mm, there's loads of models out there, much more converting potential, you can use whatever terrain you have (there's bound to be a medieval world in the 40K galaxy for example), it allows for some great campaign play too.
-
Well guys it looks like INQ 28 but ill have a nosey on down at mordheim on EBAY
cheers
Steve
-
For my part, I'd go with Inquisitor. There are lots of models out there (and if you're not playing at a GW store you need'nt limit yourself to their models!) and the point has already been made about the avalability of terrain. Its also a very open-ended system in terms of what you can have your models actually doing during the game, very like role-playing with models. You don't actually have to change the ground scale or anything either (I find it looks more sensible with 28's). Check out this site:
http://www.accursedknowledge.0catch.com/inquisitor.htm
These guys have some awesome campaigns/ideas plus a simplified character creation system that isn't quite as prone to building "ubercharacters" as the one in the rulebook is. One piece of advice though:no spazz..er space marines!!! They're VERY powerful and will throw the game off if you allow one in a warband. If you must use one, use ONE and have him take on a warband on his own!
I do like Mordheim, it has great atmosphere but, I just don't think the WFB rules mechanic works very well as a basis for a skirmish game. I'd try using the LOTR rules instead. But that's just me... ;)
-
One of the things about forums Steve is that no one can agree on anything!
I really think that for now you should download Mordheim. There are so many fantasy miniatures manufacturers out there you'll find it a lot easier to put warbands together quite cheaply. If you do want to do some science fiction then perhaps you should consider downloading Necromunda, and again you can put gangs together quite cheaply using miniatures from EM4, Copplestone, Kallistra among others. The advantage there would be that the buildings you make for Necromunda could also be pressed into service for 28mm Inquisitor at a later point.
-
Cheers guys and i understand no one can agree but its nice to hear your veiws and i totally forgot about the GM which sucks.
So i was thinking cross INQ (sci-fi) with Mordheim (skirmish) i get Necromunda so its a possibility
What do you guys think of Necro?
Cheers
Steve

If you're willing to vier away from GW you could also try a whole host of other games:-
Mordenheim types - Song of Blades and Heroes
Inquisitor/Necromunda types - Combat Zone or Crimson Dust
(just to really confuse things!)
-
Necromunda is a good little system, I would go with it rather than non-GW gang war rule sets because you are probably going to find it a lot easier to find players in your age group who have some experience of GW games rather than trying to get them to try new rule sets, at least for now. You might be able to pick a Necromunda boxed set on Ebay, but it won't be cheap and personally I would look at the ranges mentioned above and build your own terrain. A good starting point for terrain projects is Terragenesis. There's a good tutorial for building ruins very quickly out of corrugated cardboard which would furnish a tabletop pretty quickly, and then you can begin to drive your parents mad by collecting interesting rubbish that can be turned into terrain.

Ahaa nice one ill take a look im thinking for now just buying a box of Catatchan jungle to use as orclocks and to get used to the rules and then ill buy a box of chaos marauders to use as Goliath gang
Cheers guys

Unfortunately not. You get the occasional campaign being played at one of the club nights but not organised tournaments. They've tried a couple of times to run them but didn't sell enough tickets to make it worth while so they got cancelled :(
I haven't played at Warhammer World for a long time but I'd get a call if there was a Necro tournament on :)
-
Ahaha okay well cheers, looks like ill be receiving INQ for christmas though but i dont mind im interested in it so its okay and ill buy Necromunda too, i want INQ for the RPG type gaming
Cheers guys

Well you're clearly wrong ;)
Man-O-War was an okay game but my issue with it was that invariably just became a huge boarding action with multiple ships in the middle. After a while it just got boring.
-
I thourght for a bit of fun with INQ 28 play a sort of Superhero game but instead of superheroes have Masked Vigilantes more like Watchmen than say DC universe.
Sound like fun to you?
Just go out and buy some Heroclix models.
Cheers

I always have been a bit muggy ;)
For me, Man-o-War was simple with no real book keeping and although I do like bringing a gang up form the underhive (or not, as has been the case in the past) a simple fantasy fleet action does it for me every time :D
cheers
James
-
It's definatly in my top three. Great game all around. If I had more time on my hands I'd do some rules crunching to update it with the LoTR and Western Rules.
