Title: WTB Warmaster SHIP (Forge World) - reallly need one!
Post by: Draccan on September 22, 2014, 11:15:31 PM

Dear fellow Specialist Gamers!

I really would love to get a hold of a Warmaster Ship from Forge World. A genuine one. (Or several).

Plan is to convert it into a Marienburg Class Landship (a buffed up steamtank)... I also could use a few for decoration!

If there is any kind soul selling one (and I don't care where it comes from or who sells it) I would love to get my hands on one.

Any1 ??

Cheers
Draccan

Here is my Warmaster thread:

Given that these ships come up for sale very rarely, they are usually eye-wateringly expensive.

As an alternative approach, here's a picture of a WIP.  Main structure components are an Airfix HMS Bounty stern, a WM Steam Tank, and WHFB wheels.  Then sprinkle with WHFB bitz and WM Empire personnel (including a Dwarf crew).

I looked at other plastic ships but struggled to find something that was the right scale for WM.

Your work is very nice!
But I will still cry myself to sleep tonight that I wasn't first!  :'(

But it will be a while before I get round to painting it up, so there is still time for you to get one into service first!  And you could start an arms race by building an even bigger one?!

LOL - If there is one thing I am not in my hobby projects it is quick to get my models painted up ;)

Which WHFB kit are the wheels from?

Rocket Launcher.

Not sure about stats for one of these things.  My preference is always to go for an existing stat line/points wherever possible.  It has a 40 x 60mm base underneath, so my initial thought was same as a Stegadon 10-3|10|4+ (250 points)?

Here are my work in progress rules:

Marienburg Landship
  Steam tank with the following changes:
    Wonder of the Age:
      Can only move 15 cm (instead of 20)
      Can shoot 40 cm. (instead of 30 cm.)
     +1 hit point.
     +10 pts. on top of steam tank.

Let's get some suggestions.  I'll start a new thread under WM experimental rules.

Too bad I can't 3d scan my Fantasy one and rescale it to 10mm and print it!  8)
