This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Are there any fantasy miniatures rulesets available that fill the niche that Mordheim did?  I played the game quite a lot in the late nineties and thought it might be a fun diversion for my son and I.  There still seems to be a fair amount of playable gear available for it and the rules are available as a pdf.  That said, I have never really be that big of a fan of GW's over-the-top sort of tongue in cheek settings.  Is there a generic set of rules for warband style mini gaming?

I have run Mordheim via Savage World.  It works fine, but you miss out on the GW gonzo that really adds a fun flavor that I missed.

Song of Blades and Heroes is what we use for small fantasy skirmish these days... warband against warband... very generic but also fairly simple.
We also play Confrontation 3/Dogs of War when the right guys show up and want something a bit more involved.

I've also seen people recommend Chaos in Carpathia Link and/or Chaos in Cairo Link ... supposedly you can mix and match all the 'Chaos' games for crazy skirmish fun.
