Introduction

This game is an unofficial fan-made hack of Warcry, dragged through the dirt and madness of Mordheim. Here, you and your friends will lead bands of  killers, zealots and ratmen as they fight their way into the cursed city, risking life and sanity for the coveted magical substance known as Wyrdstone.

The idea for this hack was born right after the pandemic when I joined a gang of Stockholm misfits running a Warcry campaign. As my warband fought their way through the massive remains of a crashed Seraphon (that's Lizardmen, for you Old World folks) void-ship in search of treasure, suffering injuries and raiding encampments, I started feeling an eerie sense of deja-vu that quickly had me pouring through my old and weathered Mordheim rulebook.

On parental leave at the time (and clearly making questionable life choices), I began experimenting with combining Mordheim’s sado-masochistic campaign system with Warcry’s fast and cinematic gameplay, and from that unholy union, Wyrdcry was born.

If any of this looks interesting, I welcome you to join the project discord and share your thoughts (or games!). I'm actively looking for more collaborators and maybe together we can wrap this strange fish up and see if it can fly.

Getting Started

To get started, I recommend everyone to go through the general principles of the game and the rules for how to play a battle.

This will get you up to speed with the basics, and is a good starting point for when you start your warband.
