Howdy! While I'm relatively new to Mordheim, many people know me... or better yet, they know of my fan-based website;
The Mordheimer's Information Centre
As many of you know, some of my PERSONAL goals of the site are to preserve much of the Mordheim related material that is beign lost (mainly due lack of maintenance from the original authors), re-establish a one-site for all Mordheim material (organized in a newbie-friendly fashion) and to create new material for Mordheim.
On the ladder is that I wish to approach you. While I must confess I'm not an elf lover
, I do understand why so many players like them. While their vastly rich background and history has be detailed on Warhammer, I do (humbly) beleive that the "official" efforts towards the inclusion of elves are short of nothing. What is on the available "unoficial" resources (IMHO) are unablanced attempts to power up a warband. All Mordheim Elves
are in dired need of a re-design.
On the SG forums I have been an avid poster, and I would love to assist people re-designing and publishing their elven versions. Hopefully unifying all "experts" into agreeing into unified versions of Wood, Shadow, High and Dark Elves so they can be submited to SG for publication on SG Online, and thus granting then "Unofficial" status. Furthermore, I would very much like their inclusion on the next rules revision so these warbands could gain "Official" status.
Right now I'm working hand in hand with 2 fans who are designing a nicely balanced Wood Elves warband. Their version 1.80 is published on the website, but on close doors they are in v2.233.
Our philosophy on the re-design as been one of differences by
skills, not by pure super stats and high costs. The way that the current SE, DE and HE are design, they should rule the world... designers lost track (IMHO) that Mordheim is based on a D6, while WHFB is based on a D10 stat... in Mordheim a stat 5 rules; while in WHFB a stat 9 is king and a 5 is almost plain vanilla. The current elf design does NOT makes differences among elves... they assume all elves are faster than humans (based on fluff), but some elves should be faster/stronger/dexetrous than others. Your use of "alternate" sources of power (i.e. slaves, items, SKILLS, etc) due account for racial differencies.
I know that the Dark Elves warband revision has been your project for 2 years now. My intention is
NOT to "steal" you ideas, but to offer my site to promote YOUR work. I beleive that there could be no better embasadors for the proper revision and re-design of the elven warband than Druchii.net. If you would allow me to re-publish your work under YOUR credits, please send me an email with the most current version. DO NOT WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT FORMAT... but a brief history (and links here) would help spread the word of the Druchii community here established.
I'm looking forward to you accepting my plea to help. My site is at your disposal.
