Warhammer Naval Mystery Release

[Satan]

I split this from the September release thread as the WD indicates that it is in fact due in October and was hoping we might get some more info on it.

A pirate Vampire Advert:http://www.warseer.com/forums/attach...9&d=1314206488

CSE spills some beans on the Pirate Advert:

oh its coming, its so cool (n i shouldn't say but its actually an October release, has multiple armies ships in it)

did anybody else think carnival of chaos when they saw the nurgle guy?

Warmaster o war actually

****flees into the void****

Now added to the first post.

Do you know if there will be more fleets than Empire and Undead? You said "multiple" ones earlier...

Yup there are more than just those 2

CC translates the german advert into:

I basically says: Wanted! Anyone with relevant information/leads should contact/report to Jago Roth, Captain of the Heldenhammer.

That basic gist of it anyway.

Harry said Warmaster scale, so 10 mm.

I hear there's a sea of booty out there waiting to be gobbled up by anyone courageous enough to go after it. And we all know that booty = pies...

[Halelel]

Hmmm, something makes me think this will be a re-release of the undead pirate models from years ago.

However, with the improved usage of White Dwarf as a source for rules and new models, perhaps this is their first attempt at a separate gaming system?

Could be quite interesting!

[crandall87]

Maybe the rumoured re release of Man o War

[Artinam]

Or some additional rules for Warhammer Fantasy, the old Generals Compendium book had several scenario's and rules for ship combat.

Its Warhammer Naval Battles! lol Jk

If it is though, it will be just in time for my campagin!

[Rosstifer]

And we all know that booty = pies...

We totally need a pie shaped signal so it's easier to say "Haaaarrry. Come tell us stuff. Plleeeeaaassse!".

If it's naval battles my wallet will take yet another massive smack. *sigh*

pirate zombie armpy booK ????

This will be the rumoured "Man o' War but not really Man o' War" that has been talked about every now and then. Ship based, different factions in the box, stand-alone game.

Those were a mix of VC Zombies and Empire Militia, no models of their own. You can still get them by buying a box of each and mix them. The only undead pirate models I can think of are the three Sartosan models from the collectors range.

However, GW would be stupid to not release at least one or two characters for WHF alongside this.

A pretty safe bet would probably be Finecast releases of the Sartosans.

I, for one, will be playing it using my nieces Playmobile Pirate ships and my WHFB models on them, fightin REAL boarding actions...

I hope the ships are nice... might entice me into buying into it...

I'm guessing it won't be in 28mm then.

Darnok, do you know if this is going to be a short-term supported game (ie: Mordenheim, Necromunda, Warhammer Quest, etc) or is it going to be a one-shot (ie: Space Hulk). Should I start cruising eBay for old Man o'War figures??

Thanks!

yes probably a similar version of man o war, cool for battle campaign and limited edition, but if it's a new version o man o war it's as mighty empire really limited bacause as space hulk it's a specialist games. so i don't think it's thats i see more a battle supplément for maritime battle, boat will be not difficult to product when i see the news terrains.

[Jedi152]

If this is true, i'll be pre-ordering the second it goes on the site.

I don't know. But it seems to be like Space Hulk, so a one-off production run. Wether it is limited again or not... no clue. And wether the scale fits with Man o' War models I don't know either. But I'm pretty sure it might work, but look crap. Read: the new models are most likely pretty, which the MoW models were not.

[Baggers]

As will I. I wonder if it will be driven from Trafalger from the Warhammer Historical range of games?

[zoggin-eck]

Aww, and I was just thinking of getting some Uncharted Seas stuff and pretend it was Warhammer anyway

Looking forward to this

[Artinam]

Count me in on this as well, I hope my beloved Bretonnian Fleet is present.

[kyussinchains]

I'll probably pick up a few of these too..... if anyone has any more info, do share....

Thanks for the warning! Never got any Man o'War when it came out - I was only interested in Space Hulk (1st edition) at that time. I don't mind one-shots, but it's been a while since we've had a cool "side game", and I really miss them .

This is going to be a "must-buy" for me to get all frothy and infect my friends with ... Strange, I never considered myself a herald of Nurgle before.

[Vogon]

They do seem to have done a better job of keeping this one quiet. I hope that the MOW stuff is roughly the right scale. I have plenty of Dark Elf stuff kicking about somewhrre.

Thanks for the info.
