The trailer has actually put me off... I was looking forward to fleets but going by the trailer it sounds like a couple of individual big ships...

Mick

So, it's going to feature a ship with a steam-powered hammer? DERP!

Maybe.

Sadly it really sounds like a ship with a giant swinging hammer...so immeasurably terrible...

why would they do that? I mean as I said, it'd work for Orks
it'd be silly, which fits
science doesn't matter with them...a ship with a hammer...cause yeah warhammer...didn't get that
these won't even make good models for a painting case...

Have you seen the models? Have YOU seen the models?! HAVE YOU SEEN THE MODELS? Are you holding out on us you greedy bastard? Come on, spill it, show us the dirt.

I want a hammership.

That is all.

no I've not...
just anything not orky with a giant hammer stuck on the front is moronic
especially a naval game, which will not appeal to anyone I know, if its this sort of wacky
but only to other gamers, who I won't be able to play against because GW won't let you after awhile in their stores

Didn't realise I needed GW's permission to play a game.

You haven't been reading the EULA addendums have you? You now have to be wearing the correct brand and vintage underwear to purchase GW minis.

in store , as I said
the non GW stores are quite far from my house and, would much rather play, say flames of war if I was gonna go out there

Apparently, folks are saying that GW is not allowing them to play Mordheim, Necromunda, Blood Bowl, BFG, Epic, or Warmaster inside of the shops when there's scheduled games going on.

GW Amsterdam is guilty of that. You play one of the big three or you GTFO.

the one I go to gives dibs to first come first serve, unless its a designated night

ruined my day games workshop, I was sort of happy about this release, but now I am just disapointed.

You know that YouTube is block by the government for some reason.
We all eager to see the trailers, thanks!

cant find it anywhere else sorry. you really aren't missing much, the trailer is really bad

Could there not just be a naval expansion for fantasy?

Sort of mighty empires with Man O' War for movement and small skirmish games for boarding actions?

If there isn't one, I'll write it.

I was hoping it'd be a brand new game with a fine future ahead, but no its a one off thing where ships have giant hammers and everything will be really over the top
(ships made of skulls and blind faith to the emperor)

Lord Poison wrote:I hope so, because a ship with a giant hammer on it like some sort of battlebot (remember those?) is...well idiotic

Lol, "Activate!"

"Sail me closer, I want to hit them with my hammer!"

yarr?

Argh, can't see the trailer at work. What is it? Something official / leaked? Or just a spoof?

No pics of the models in it, it seems?

Feed. Me. Infor. Mation.

Just a guy trying to sound like a pirate telling us that one guy has a ship full of dead people (hint: Count Noctillus) and another having a massive warship with a steam powered hammer (hint: not Count Noctillus). They also tell us to tune in tomorrow.

Video pans into the poster/graphic they sent out yesterday with some guys trying to sound like pirates talking...

Not worth the time to watch. (in my opinion)

WTH? The video was so bad that they took it down? I finally arrive home from work to see it and it is now saying that it is "private"... Bah!

Has any one got a copy of the video because now it's locked or whatever

I wish I could have seen this video before they made it private. It must have been horrible if they pulled it in less than a days time. Truely epic fail GW.

As I said, it ruined my day :(

Dreadfleet

For two bleak decades the Undead reavers of Count Noctilus have plagued the oceans of the world. After each raid, the Dreadfleet disappears into its lair as quickly and silently as it appeared, far from the reach of Man. And yet there remains hope. Captain Jaego Roth of the Heldenhammer has vowed to hunt down and destroy Count Noctilus and his Undead captains once and for all. With him sail the most notorious and cunning of the pirate lords of Sartosa, each borne to battle upon a giant warship bristling with cannons, organ guns and bolt throwers. At the stroke of midnight on Geheimnisnacht, most forsaken of nights, the Heldenhammer and her companions sail into the realm of undeath known as the Galleon's Graveyard. One by one, Count Noctilus and his vile allies move in to stop them.

Dreadfleet is a boxed game for two (or more) players that includes everything you need to make war on the turbulent seas of the Warhammer world. At your command are two fleets of ships - the Dreadfleet led by the Vampire Count Noctilus, aboard his gargantuan sea-hulk the Bloody Reaver; and the Grand Alliance commanded by the Pirate Captain Jaego Roth, who recently stole the Heldenhammer - the pride of the Imperial Fleet, and one of the largest galleons to ever sail the high seas.

As your ships engage in furious battle, it's down to you, the fleet captain, to make important split-second decisions. Do you bring all guns to bear on the closest enemy warship, or do you sail into position for a furious broadside? What happens when the warship catches fire, or worse, the powder kegs ignite? Exactly how much punishment can your warship take before it sinks without a trace? Are those Undead seagulls or flying piranha fish? And, when all else fails, do you have the courage to ram your foe, board their ship, and engage them in a duel to the death?

This product has been produced in limited quantities and is only available while stocks last - make sure you get it quick before the Galleon's Graveyard claims it forever.
