Warbands
If this is your first time playing Mordheim, or you simply want to read the Warband rules, go to Starting a Warband.
List of Warbands
When Mordheim was first released, it was with only six warbands. Further warbands were created, first in White Dwarf in a section called 'Town Cryer', more when Town Cryer became its own publication, and furthermore from a variety of other sources.
Broheim.net has created and maintained a system to grade different warbands, shown below. The city of Mordheim is the original setting for the game, but Town Cryer went on to explore other settings such as Lustria, and designed warbands for these settings as well. The power curve of these new settings don't always translate well to the original setting, and as such some are far weaker - and others overpowered. The grading system is a method to determine the origin of a warband and help players make a decision on whether it's appropriate for their campaign.
A lower grade doesn't necessarily mean it's OP or broken, but best talk to your campaign group first. For new players, it's strongly suggested you start with a 1a warband (or furthermore, one from the original Rulebook) so you get a feel for how Mordheim was initially intended.
If a warband isn't linked on this page, I haven't typed it up yet. Go to the warbands page on Broheim to read its original source material.
