I mean, the Dark Elves have the Black Arks. It's an entire fortress that was ripped out of Ulthuan's soil and then held aloft by dark magics.
These Arks are what the Dark Elves use to maintain their raiding fleets when they operate away from land.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398159/3341388.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398159/3341388.page GMT Dreadfleet ships http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398159/3341394.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398159/3341394.page GMT Dreadfleet ships

And the flying ship, the ship propelled by a djinn and the medieval submarine are okay to you?
These ships are all extreme caricatures, maybe as contrast to the more believable Encharted Sea models.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398159/3341600.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398159/3341600.page GMT Dreadfleet ships

The flying ship, Arabian djinn-ship, Druchii fortress and the medieval submarine are already fantastic so they are OK, but what is with the simple Imperial warship? What kind of magic makes it to float? Or is it the unbreakable faith in Sigmar?
Perhaps the most realistic model in Dreadfleet is the Black Pearl-like pirate ship. The others are the Tomb Kings arc and Dwarf steam-powered ship, but they are definitley from other epochs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398159/3341623.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398159/3341623.page GMT Re:Dreadfleet ships

You would basically have what amounted to a Tower and both ends of the ship. the main deck would be used as a killing field. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398159/3343023.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398159/3343023.page GMT Re:Dreadfleet ships

Yup

Hence F'o'csle from fore castle
If a ship was boarded it would have to be on the main deck
The archers in the towers would have a relatively clear line of sight down onto the boarders.
