Warhammer Conversions

Comment j'évalue le coût en point quand je crée une Bande ? Je prends la valeur en point d'un Livre d'Armée et déduit la valeur de tout équipement comme une armure légère ou des armes supplémentaires.

Puis je multiplie le coût par 4 ou 5 et compare au coût de troupes des bandes déjà disponible pour être sûr de ne pas avoir une figurine avec de meilleures caractéristiques avec un coût inférieur ou égal. Un champion a un coût 10 à 12 fois supérieur qu'à WFB est à +1 en CC, CT, I et Cd.

Une fois que j'ai une ébauche des points, je teste pour voir s'ils peuvent être exploités ou s'ils sont trop chers. Les règles spéciales sont évaluées par rapport à leur effet.

Les points sont beaucoup modifiés, en particulier pour les bandes pour lesquelles il n'y a pas d'équivalence de profil. La règle de base est que 1 point dans une caractéristique coûte entre 3-5 CO.

Ceci dit, les compétences et autres règles spéciales sont dures à calculer correctement

[Tommy Punk enchaîne sur l'exemple de sa bande mort-vivant pour la version WD de Mordheim].

1. The basic method:

Henchmen: I base these on standard WH units. For instance a standard high

Elf unit is 8pts... multiply that by 5 = 40gc

Dwarf 8pts x 5= 40gc ( NO difference with the official dwarf warrior price)

Human 5pts x 5 = 25gc (no difference to the MH unit)

Skaven 4.5pts x 5= 22.5gc ( 2.5gcdiffrence to the MH unit clan rat)

Another method: is to add up all the characteristics on the standard unit

together.

Elven unit= 5+4+4+3+3+1+6+1+8= 35GC ( 5gc less than the method above) Also

note that Toumas Pirinen the creator of Mordheim priced his High Elf Henchmen

at 35GC

Human unit=4+3+3+3+3+1+3++1+7= 28GC (exactly the same as the method above)

Skaven Unit=5+3+3+3+3+1+4+1+5= 28gc (exactly the same as the method above

or a 4gc difference.)

Dwarf unit:3+4+3+3+4+1+2+1+9=30gc (exactly 10gc difference with the method

above) this one has a high GC difference as the method above. But as you can

see it is close to the HE cost difference, HE units more expensive by 5gc.

The same two methods can be used to convert other races to Mordheim. Although

once you've have the prices it is imperative to play test the warbands, the

price might differ from +10GC to -10GC ( MARGIN of ERROR) depending on the

restrictions and rules they have. After 8+ games you should be able to have

the right price.

If you want to decrease stat's of a standard race unit, then it'll decrease

the stat's by -5gc. for example An elf young blood stats:

M\5 WS\3 Bs\3 WS\3 T\3 W\1 A\1 I\5 LD\8 =25gc (Using the first method

standard elf 40gc -15 = 25gc)

If you want to Increase a Henchmen stat's you add +5gc if you want to give it

a special rule you add +10.

If you restrict the henchmen from certain equipment list.... for instance a

Witch elf is 40gc but has the frenzy rule + 10= 50gc. The witch elf cannot

have any missile weapons and no armour except helmet... you -10 from the total

value which give you 40gc

hence the witch elf is 40gc

remember there is a +10gc and -10gc margin of error, to get it right you have

to play test the warband thoroughly.

But if you calculate the methods i have given you you'll see that they are

very accurate and close to initial costs.

Note restriction to weapons and armuor should be accounted for whilst

play testing... I will write a more in-depth analysis on this but I have big

time constraints and as I've said again and again I don't have the luxury of

having time (apologies)

I prefer the first method of calculating henchmen example: WH elf 8 pts x 5

= MH unit at 40gc

Heroes:

FOR EACH STAT INCREASE ADD a +5

FOR EACH RULE YOU SHOULD ADD +10 ( including magic users)

Examples

standard Elf M\5 WS\4 BS\4 S\3 T\3 W\1 I\6 A\1 LD\8 40gc

Elf noble: +1BS +1WS +1I +1 LD = 20gc +Leadership skill 10gc total=

40gc +20+10= 70pts. So the Noble cost 70pts

High Elf Loremaster +10 magic + Noble costs = 80pts. (note that in the

Lustria egroup files the Loremaster is 80gc, while in the Mordheim egroup

files it's 90gc.. referring to the Elf ranger I customized)

Toumas Pirinen's own HE lore master is 80GC

Standard Human stats M\4 WS\3 BS\3 S\3 T\4 W\1 I\3 A\1 LD\8 cost 25gc

(Mordheim cost 28 gc from the formula I use)

Human Captain : M\4 WS\4 BS\4 S\3 T\3 W\1 I\4 A\1 Ld\8

That's +1BS +1WS +1I +1LD = 5+5+5+5= 20gc +25= 45gc (48gc with the formula

I used a difference or 3)

Leader ship skill + 10 + captain cost 10+ 45= 55gc (58gc with the formulaI

use) there is a difference of 5 (margin of error) you must remember that

certain mercenary groups get bonus such as +1BS or start off with an extra

100gc to spend

Skaven Standard unit M\5 WS\3 BS\3 S\3 T\3 W\3 I\4 A\1 LD\5 cost 25gc

Assassin Adept: M+1 WS+1 BS+1 S+1 I+1 Ld+2= 5+5+5+5+5+10= 35gc + 25gc= 60gc

+10 for Leader Ship + 60= 70gc (10gc difference between MH cost.. margin of

error). Note the fact of the restrictions of black powdered weapons and

crossbow's plus light armour only -10 = 60gc

Toumas Pirinen's swordmaster

Standard elf 40 gc Bs+1 WS+1 I+1= 5+5+5=15 +40 = 55. Toumas's Swordmaster

cost is 50gc... however the Elfranger warband which I customized the

swordmaster is 55gc.

I can go on all night a show you all the examples... but that's my formula i

hope you all use it to your advantage...
