Dreadfleet is here..... Apparently.....

I fucking hate Pirates. When did dying of Scurvy, Typhus and Pulmonary Tuberculosis while on a weevil and rat infested piece of rotting wood become cool?

Apparently some people actually like pirates which was a bit of a surprise to me..... admittedly a giant mechanical squid powered by Chaos Dwarves is an interesting idea.....

  1. Disappointed with this. Would rather had warhammer quest re-launched :)

  2. Man those look cool. What I don't get is why limited numbers. That and Space Hulk should sell more than the entire specialist games range.

  3. @ Silar Lannanaris - I would personally have liked to have seen a more balanced BFG rule-set or a Space Hulk expansion before a game about pirates.....but then I think pirates suck so I don't think I'm the target market for this game, lol.

  4. @ Gx1080 - The models do look nice but GW have a terrible record when it comes to continued support of their specialist games. Hell, they don't even support their own Warhammer or 40K expansions for very long (if at all).

  6. I was in GW on Friday and a bunch of staffers asked if I was coming in yesterday to see the 'secret release'. I said 'To see a re-invented Man'o'War? No!' They said 'It's nothing to do with Man'o'War.' I agree with them that it isn't CALLED Man'o'War but 'pirate fleet battles in the Warhammer universe' is as damn close to an updated Man'o'War as people are going to get. I also will not be buying this as I have no interest whatsoever.
