Scenario 053 – Doppelganger
By Ross "Pancreas Boy" Franks,
as appeared in Pancreas Boy's
Wyrdstone Shards
Transcribed by Sid Hale.
Edited by The Mordheimer.
An ugly creature has been lurking the streets of Mordheim, but
those who have returned with the news have a crazed look in their eyes and say
it forces you to do yourself harm. They say it guards a treasure of the fallen
victims who killed themselves and won’t let anyone stand in it’s way. This
sounds all too easy. One creature guarding some loot, what could be easier.
Terrain
Each
player takes it in turns to place a piece of terrain set up within an area
roughly 4’ x 4’. Place a Doppelganger in the center of the board inside a
building with a chest beside him.
Setup All
players roll a D6 and whoever rolls highest chooses which warband sets up first.
Special Rules The Doppelganger: The creature will charge the closest figure at the end
of all players turns, but immediately takes on the appearance and stats of the
closest model in LOS. Warband members of the duplicated model will be confused
and will refuse to attack the Doppelganger if they fail a LD test. On each of
the Doppelganger's turns he will take on the form of the closest model (if there
are several, roll for who becomes the duplicate).
The Chest: Any model(s) can retrieve the chest and move it as
in the Hidden Treasure scenario. See below for details on the chest contents.
Starting the Game
Both
players roll a D6. The higher player takes the first turn.
Ending the Game
The game ends when one warband gets the treasure off the board or if a warband
fails a Rout test. The routing warband loses. The victorious warband gains the
chest.
Experience
+1 Survives: If a Hero or Henchman group survives the battle they gain +1
Experience.
+1 Winning Leader: The leader of the winning warband gains +1 Experience.
+1 Per Enemy Out Of Action: Any Hero earns +1 experience for each enemy he puts
Out Of Action.
+2
For Finding the Chest: If a hero finds the chest he earns +2
Experience.

The Count of Ventimiglia’s Misericordia: This dagger
was used by the notorious Tilean gentleman-pirate known as the ‘Black Corsair’.
It is claimed that he found it in ancient Elven ruins and legend also has it
that the dagger’s blade cannot be damaged in any way.
The dagger is treated as a sword. Opponents wounded by it are Stunned on a
result of 1-3 (Undead are Knocked Down as normal) and put Out Of Action on a
4-6. See Rulebook page 100 for reference.
