Man O Warmaster could be happening in September!

[DaveC]

Looks like its actually happening a re-release of Man O War has been rumoured for the Septemeber secret release for a few weeks now but Harry on Warseer (he's a very reliable source) has given a very strong hint that it is. The project has been code named Rubber Duck within GW.

From Harry on Warseer:

When I first heard about this ... several year ago and what I hinted at in The Watchman back then was that they were looking into Naval combat in WARMASTER scale. I also heard that Rick Priestly was interested and if he had his way we would see naval battles for Warmaster historical before we saw it for fantasy. It was all just pie in the sky back then and as a result .....

... I had forgotten about this.
So when this rumour cropped again I failed to put two and two together initially.

But I have put it together now and I only have one thing to say .....

BRING IT ON!

In other rumours

Man O War in September.
Big box, Space Hulk format £70
Two fleets only, Empire and Vampires
All plastic models including islands
Written by Phil Kelly and Jervis
No other expansions or fleets, complete game in a box

These are all just rumour for now but it's been a looooong time since we had any rumours for Warmaster.

Yeah it's happening, i've known about this since '09   

There's a good looking dark elf ship coming out, good scale for warmaster. Hence my DE WM army   (i won't say anything else though)

Looks like we have conflicting rumours here.

Empire and Vampire Fleets only in a box? Single box, big splash?
Someone else thinks Dark Elves too? (which suggests supplements or at least a third fleet?)

I do hope they are the right scale for Warmaster!!!!

So it is not blood bowl that is being relaunched then?
A lot of evidence did seem to point in that direction also.
Not bothered either way, I will buy it if is either of these

Id prefer BB though :>

[fracas]

Sure it is not bfg?

[azrael71]

As an aside I play the cyanide BB game, add me a friend, same user name as here

[Brutalrage]

the cianide BB game? that isnt the fumbbl one right? its the GW supported one, right?

Why vampire counts?  Sylvania is landlocked.

I enjoyed MoW, but it had some pretty big problems.  Quite aside from balancing the fleets, you needed more room for your ship templates than you did for the playing area

Thanks for the info Calmacil. Care to share anymore info as I'm hearing conflicting things now that it's not Man O War as such but a naval based game in 10mm. Dark Elves makes much more sense than VC.

Yeah a lot of people thought it was going to be BloodBowl as its the 25th anniversary guess that's for further down the line.

I've already said too much.
I think it's best left to GW to decide when to release the info 

[marell le fou]

As a Man O'War player, I would just LOVE to have this game in an approx Warmaster scale...

There's the Vampire Coast in Lustria- pirate vampires are not new to fantasy, although they do seem an odd choice for a 2-fleets only release.

Hmm... I suspect September may be a mismatch, considering White Dwarf confirms second part of Sisters of Battle codex and Ogres coming in September.
But given there's been some pretty reliable rumour mongers going on about a secret release, maybe October or November then? All I know is I'll be interested to see what happens .

10mm sailing ships would be huge... MoW stuff is around 2mm, I'd be very surprised if they did them in something 5x as big.
