Turn Sequence

There are six phases each turn. Only the active

players warriors act during that players turn.
(Except in close combat.) During each phase, the
steps detailed here must be followed in exactly this
order:

Deployment Phase
1. Deploy any troops the scenario dictates.
(Warriors can move, shoot and charge the
turn they are deployed, and wizards
generate power dice the turn they are
deployed.)

Recovery Phase
1. Wizards and Priests that are not fleeing
generate 1 power dice each.
(Priests must pass a Leadership test to
generate power dice.)
2. Fleeing warriors attempt to rally.
3. If they fail, they immediately flee 2D6
towards their deployment zone again.
4. If they succeed they rally.
(They may move/run and cast spells/prayers
as normal that turn, but they cannot charge
or shoot a missile weapon. They may hide
as normal.)
(Note that wizards and priests do not
generate power dice the turn they rally.)

Movement Phase
1. Move any warriors that you wish, working
through them one at a time.
2. (Warriors cannot run if there are visible,
non-hidden enemies within 6.)
3. Declare which warriors are hiding.
(Unless a rule, spell or ability explicitly
states that a warrior can hide at some other
time, warriors can only hide at this point of
the turn.)

Shooting Phase
1. Warriors armed with missile weapons may
fire one of them.
2. A wizard may attempt to cast a spell.
(When targeting missile weapons and
spells, you may not measure distances
beforehand. If the target is out of range, the
shot or spell still counts as having shot or
been cast.)
3. Work through each warrior, one at a time,
in any order that you wish.
4. Declare which warriors are keeping
overwatch.

Close Combat Phase

1. All warriors engaged in close combat fight.
(All warriors involved in close combat fight,
regardless of whose turn it is.)

Charge Phase
1. Declare all charges before moving any
warriors. You may not measure distances
beforehand.
2. Once all charges are declared, move each
charger, one at a time, in the order of your
choice.

Characteristics Tests

When taking any kind of characteristics

test (such as an Initiative test), a natural
1 always succeeds and a natural 6 always
fails, regardless of the models
characteristic.
When taking any kind of Leadership test,
a natural 2 always succeeds and
Leadership cannot be increased beyond
10.

Movement
Normal Moves

Warriors move up to their Movement value

in inches.
Warriors can pass over obstacles up to 1
high without using Movement.

Running Moves

Warriors move up to twice their Movement

value in inches.
Warriors cannot hide or shoot a missile
weapon the turn they ran, but they may
cast spells.
A warrior cannot run if there are any visible,
non-hidden enemies within 6 of him.

Climbing Up/Down

Warriors may climb a maximum of 6 per

turn. (There does not need to be a solid wall
or similar surface in between start and end.)
Climbing uses up Movement.
A warrior must take a single Initiative test
to climb.
If he fails while climbing up he stops were
he started to climb.
If he fails while climbing down, he falls the
entire distance.

Jumping Down

Warriors jumping down take an Initiative

test for each full 2 jumped.
If they fail any one of them, they fall the
entire distance.
Jumping Down does not use up
Movement.
(You may measure the distance down
beforehand, unless the jump is part of a
charge move.)

Jumping Horizontally
Warriors can jump over gaps (such as rooftops) up
to 6 wide.
(You may measure the distance across
beforehand, unless the jump is part of a
charge.)
Jumping horizontally uses up movement.
If the distance is further than 6 the warrior
falls from where he jumped.

Hiding
A warrior that is in cover from all enemies may hide.
Hidden warriors cannot be shot at, charged
or targeted with spells.
If a warrior can fly for any reason, he
cannot hide at the end of a flying move.
A hidden warrior is immediately un-hidden
if:
He runs, charges, shoots, or (attempts to)
cast spells.
An enemy moves within its Initiative value
in inches of him.
Any enemy has completely unobscured
line-of-sight to him. (I.e. no cover.)

Falling
A warrior that falls takes one Strength X hits where
X = [distance in inches that he fell].
You can only fall from a full 2 or more.
Falling damage ignores armour saves.
A warrior that has fallen down may do nothing else
for the rest of that turn.

Falling off Buildings

A warrior that suffers a wound within 1 of an
elevated edge or rooftop must pass one Initiative
test or fall to the floor below, taking falling damage
as described above.
Warriors will not fall off edges that have
railings, low walls, etc. on all sides.

Charges
Declaring Charges

You may charge any visible, non-hidden

enemy but you may not measure the
distance beforehand.
You may engage multiple enemies with a
charge if they are within 1 of each other
and not behind the charge target.
All charges are declared simultaneously.
To determine how many fighters that can fit
into close combat you may rearrange you
own warriors but not the enemys wrriors.

Charging Enemies out of Line-of-Sight

Warriors may charge enemies that are out

of their line-of-sight (That are behind a wall,
around a corner etc.).
To charge a non-visible enemy, the warrior
must pass an Initiative test or fail that
charge.
(This stacks with others Initiative tests such
as Climbing etc.)

Charging Hidden Enemies

Hidden warriors cannot be charged.

Charges Involving Climbing Up/Down

When charging requires climbing, you must

pass a single Initiative test or fail the
charge. (If you climbed down and fail, you
also fall the entire distance.)
The climbing part of the charge may not
exceed 6.

Charges Involving Jumping Down

When jumping down, take 1 Initiative test

for each full 2 jumped.
(If you fail any one test you fall the entire
distance and fail the charge.)
Jumping Down does not use M. (So if you
have M4 you could move 2, jump down 6
down, and still move up to 6.)

Diving Charges
If a charge involving Jumping Down is executed so
that the charger lands within 2 of his target and
has enough Movement left to successfully charge
the enemy, then that charge is a diving charge.
Diving Chargers have +1 S on profile the
first round of combat. (This may take them
above their racial maximum.)

Failed Charges
If a warrior fails a charge, for whatever reason, he is
moved his base Movement value towards the
target or to where he fell or to the foot of where he
failed his climb test. Warriors that fail a charge may
not shoot missile weapons that turn, but they may
cast spells or prayers.

Intercepting Enemies
If a warrior is within 2 of an enemys movement
path, and that warrior is not already engaged in
close combat, that warrior may intercept the
enemy.
The warrior moves into the enemys path.
The enemy will count as charging the
intercepting warrior.
Each moving enemy can only be
intercepted by one warrior.
Interception can be made against all kinds
of enemy moves; - normal moves, running
moves, charging moves and flying moves.
If either model causes fear, apply fear as
normal.
Warriors that are fleeing cannot intercept.
Grey marks the interception zone:

Close Combat
Who can Fight

Being Outnumbered in Close Combat

Enemies within 1 of each other will fight. (Enemies

separated by low walls etc. will also fight.)
Warriors can fight 360 around themselves.
Warriors cannot shoot missile weapons
while in close combat.
Warriors may cast spells while in close
combat.

A warrior that is outnumbered in close combat

suffers an additional -1 to hit against all enemies
that turn.
Monsters are not affected.

Who Strikes First

Chargers strike first the turn they charge.

Warriors armed with a Spear or Halberd
may strike first against chargers.
In other rounds, attack order is determined
by comparing Initiative. If two or more
fighters have equal Initiative, roll dice to
determine who strikes first.
If two or more warriors are both able to
Strike First attack order is determined by
Initiative as above.

Targeting Close Combat Attacks

A warrior with multiple close combat attacks may
divide them up between enemies as he chooses.
However, he must distribute all attacks
before rolling any dice to hit.
(If an enemy goes out of action before
receiving the full number of attacks
allocated to him, these remaining attacks
will go to waste.)

Pistols Cannot be Fired in Close Combat

As opposed to normal Games Workshop rules,
Pistols are solely missile weapons and cannot be
used in close combat at all.

Switching Weapons in Close Combat

A warrior armed with multiple Close Combat
weapons may switch between them at the start of
each Close Combat phase (including the enemys
close combat phase).

Leaving Close Combat

Breaking and Free Hacks

Fighting Unarmed
Unarmed attacks are at -2 S. Warriors with the
Fights Unarmed special rule are exempt form this.

Fighting with two Hand Weapons

As opposed to normal Games Workshop rules, a
warrior fighting with two Hand Weapons does not
get an extra attack. Instead, he may re-roll 1 failed
to hit roll each close combat phase.

Warriors cannot voluntarily leave close

combat.
Warriors only leave close combat if they fail
a panic test, or if they suffer knockback.
(Knockback: See special rules.)

Knockback: When a warrior leaves close

combat because of a knockback effect, he is
simply moved backwards with no additional
effect.
Fleeing: When a warrior leaves close
combat because of a failed panic test, and
he is fleeing, each enemy that was within 1
of the warrior gets one free hack.
A free hack is a close combat attack against
the fleeing warrior that hits automatically.
The enemy may decide which of his
weapons he will use for the free hack.
If the enemy is still fighting other warriors
in close combat, free hacks will not use up
his normal attacks - they are extra free
attacks.
If the warrior survives the free hack(s)
against him he flees. (See Fleeing and
Panic.)

Shooting
Shooting

Warriors with Multiple Shots

Warriors armed with missile weapons may shoot

once in their shooting phase. If they are armed with
multiple missile weapons they must choose which
to fire. Work through your warriors individually, one
at a time, in any order you wish.
Shooting requires line-of-sight. Warriors
can see 360 around themselves.
Warrior cannot shoot through allied
warriors.
Warriors cannot shoot the same turn they
made a running move.
Warriors cannot shoot if they are engaged
in close combat or fleeing.
When firing a missile weapon, a warrior
shoots just once, regardless of how many
Attacks he has on profile.

A warrior with multiple shots must always shoot

them all at the same target.

Targeting Shooting

Warriors must shoot at the closest target,

and must ignore fleeing enemies as long as
there are other targets he can shoot at.
If the closest target is in subject to BSpenalties, you may choose a more distant
target provided that is it easier or just as
easy to hit. (BS-penalties include cover,
stealth, the Dodge: Ranged skill etc.)
Pick Target: A warrior firing from a position
elevated 2 or more above ground level
may freely pick his target unless there is a
visible enemy within 3 of him. (In which
case he must follow normal targeting rules.)
You cannot fire into close combat involving
your own warriors.
You may fire into close combat involving
two other warbands. Roll to randomize hits.

Play Tip: 70 % Terrain

Heroheim requires about 70% terrain on the
table. Otherwise Shooting will be too powerful. If
you don't have enough terrain, lower all warriors
BS values by 1.

Overwatch
A warrior that is elevated at least 2 above the
ground and did not run, or shoot, or (attempt to)
cast a spell during his own turn may be set to
overwatch.
During the opponents turn, each warrior
that is set to overwatch will automatically
make a single normal shot at the first
enemy that moves into his line-of-sight.
(I.e. quick shot, multiple shot, etc. cannot be
used for overwatch but other shooting skills
apply as normal.)
The shot will have an additional -1 to hit.
Only missile weapons with a range of 18 or
more can be used for overwatch.
(Blunderbusses cannot be used for
overwatch.)

Target Out of Range = Missed Shot

When targeting missile weapons, you may not
measure the distance beforehand. If the target was
out of range then the warrior will still count as
having fired this shooting phase.
When shooting up or down, ranges are
always measured diagonally.

Shooters may Lean through Windows

When shooting out of windows where the shooter
is less than 1 from the windowpane, the shooter
may determine line-of-sight from the edge of the
window, even if he is positioned inside the building.

Special Rules
Fear

Leader

Whenever a warrior charges or is charged by an

enemy that causes fear, he must roll equal to or
under his Leadership on 2D6.
If failed, he suffers -1 to hit against all
enemies that turn.
Failing multiple fear tests will decrease a
warriors 'to hit' rolls multiple times, but a
natural 6 is always a hit.
Warriors that cause fear only cause fear the
turn they charge or is charged.
(I.e. a warrior that is fighting the same fear
causing enemy for multiple turns only has to
test against that enemy in the first round of
combat. But he will still have to test for fear
if new fear-causing enemies join the battle.)
Fear also applies when intercepting or
intercepted.
Warriors that cause fear are immune to
fear themselves.

Other members of the warband that are within 6 of

a leader may use his leadership instead of their own.
The leader cannot use this ability while he is
hiding or fleeing.

Knockback

Poisonous hits may re-roll natural 1s to wound.

If the target is immune to poison, no re-roll
is gained.

Some abilities knock their target a certain distance

backwards. (Usually D3.) Whenever target is
knocked back it is always knocked directly away
from the warrior that caused the knockback. Stop
if the warrior reaches a solid object, like a wall or
another warrior.
If knockback takes the target into close
combat with an enemy, the enemy counts
as charging and the warrior cannot use the
Strike First ability of Spears or Halberds
that turn.
If knockback takes target off a building,
apply falling damage as normal.
If a model is knocked back while engaged in
close combat, it is always knocked out of
that close combat.
(It will be considered to have left that close
combat and any enemies the warrior was
fighting do not gain free hacks against him.)
Monsters ignore knockback.

Hatred
Warriors that hate their enemies have +1 to hit
them in all rounds of close combat.
Hatred only affects close combat attacks.

Heirloom: (Item)
Warrior has this item when hired. It may not be
swapped or sold, but may be robbed and discarded.
If a warrior would die or be sacked but his
weapons, armour, and equipment be
returned to his warbands stash, heirloom
items are still lost.

Poisonous Hits

Flaming Hits
Hits that are flaming have an extra +1 modifier
when rolling on the critical hit chart.
If a hit is both flaming and poisonous, poison
has no effect.

Regeneration Save
The warrior has a special save he can use after he
has failed his armour save (if he has one). This save
is not negated by the strength of the attacker.
(This save can be used vs. hits that ignore
armour saves.)
Flaming hits ignore regeneration.

Ward Save
The warrior has a special save he can use after he
has failed his armour save (if he has one). This save
is not negated by the strength of the attacker.
(This save can be used vs. hits that ignore
armour saves.)

Panic and Fleeing

Panic Tests
If a warrior is not already fleeing, he must
immediately take a panic test by rolling equal to or
under his Leadership on 2D6 when:
The last hero in his battle group is taken out
of action.
He loses a wound and he is left with 1
wound.
If failed, he immediately flees 2D6 towards
his deployment zone.
If he flees while in close combat, all
enemies within 1 of him get one Free
Hack. (See close combat rules.)

Fleeing and Rally Tests

Fleeing Movement

Fleeing warriors always flee towards their

deployment zone, avoiding any enemies.
If a fleeing warrior has to descend from a
building, the controlling player may decide
whether that warrior climbs down or jumps
down.
Fleeing and Flying: Fleeing warriors that
can fly still flee only 2D6 (or 3D6 if they
are animals.) but do not have to pass climb
or jump down tests while fleeing.

Being Charged while Fleeing

If warrior is charged while he is fleeing, all

the enemys close combat attacks hit
automatically. (No critical hits.)
The fleeing warrior will not strike back but
immediately flees a further 2D6 towards
his deployment zone if he survives.

A warrior that is fleeing must roll equal to

or under his Leadership on 2D6 at the start
of each of his own turns.
If he succeeds, he rallies: He can move/run
and cast spells/prayers as normal that turn,
but he cannot charge or shoot a missile
weapon. (He may hide as normal.)
(If he is a wizard or priest he does not
generate power dice the turn he rallied.)
If he fails, he flees a further 2D6 towards
his deployment zone and can do nothing
else for the rest of the turn.
Fleeing warriors automatically rally once
they reach their deployment zone.

Fleeing and Magical Movement

If warrior that is fleeing is successfully targeted with
a spell or prayer that would move him in some way,
move him in the manner dictated by the spell or
prayer, but with the following exception:
If the fleeing warrior is moved into close
combat, the enemy counts as having
charged him. Then:

All of the enemys close combat
attacks hit the fleeing warrior
automatically. (No critical hits.)

The fleeing warrior will not strike
back in close combat but
immediately flees a further 2D6
towards his deployment zone if he
survives.

Miscast and Misfire Charts

Magical Miscasts

Blackpowder Misfires

Whenever a wizard rolls 2 or more natural 1s on his

spellcasting roll, he has caused a miscast and must
roll on the chart below.
Prayers never cause miscasts.

Whenever a warrior rolls a natural 1 to hit with a

blackpowder weapon, his weapon has misfired and
he must roll on the misfire chart.
When shooting twice with two pistols, all
shots are resolved simultaneously.
(So even if one shot misfires, thereby taking
the shooter himself out of action, the other
shot will still fire as normal.)
Blunderbusses never misfire.

A warrior that is wounded by a hit with a Strength

that is double or more his own Toughness, loses 2
wounds instead of 1.
(It is still only one wound and so there is only
one save.)

No Knocked Down or Stunned!

As opposed to normal Mordheim rules, there is no
knocked down or stunned. When a model loses its
last wound, it goes straight out of action!

Armour Saves
