Man O Warmaster could be happening in September!

They are huge

[Lex]

And GW dont know there is MoW anymore, so there is no incentive from their end to stick to that particular scale

IF the rumours are true, then the games would be more likely be based on something akin to PotC then be true to the MoW/Warmaster background ....

I really hope it will be a naval 10 mm game.

The old empire ship for warmaster from forgeworld is really great. Several ships like this would just be awesome !

Calmacil - when you say they are "huge" do you mean you will be able to actually place warmaster stands on the decking of the ships to represent crew or "marines"

I have an old Man O War Black Arc skull and a brigade of Warmaster Corsairs so I was thinking of making my own Black Arc using styrophone and cladding it in balsawood. I was going to make it big enough to hold 4 warmaster units on its decks. I might hold off this project if there are going to be ships big enough to mount warmaster stands in commercially available!

It's August now and there's no mention of a new shiny game/range in White Dwarf so it looks unlikely that it will be a September release?

Not got a clue when it's out. I've not read anything on any forums, it's probably on warseer, it usually is.
It's already been boxed up and is all ready to go. I haven't spoken about this game for a long time, so can't help you with release date.

That said you cannot get many empire stands on the warmaster empire ship

I am going to use uncharted seas models with my warmaster. Close enough scale wise.

[David Wasilewski]

If they are boxed up and ready to go then my best guess would be a November release, ready for Christmas.
It doesn't really matter - we're not small children, we can wait.....

Or just buy other manufacturers ranges like Fracas suggested!

I'm just having a hard time believing this.

Not that I doubt you guys, but all the recent boxed games have been aimed at pushing GW's 28mm line. Warmaster's biggest champion has left the company. Releasing a boxed game will generate calls to expand the line (at very least, to add more fleets). Where's the upside for GW in this? It just doesn't seem to make sense, except to counter the fervor for Uncharted Seas, which doesn't compete w/ GW and has levelled of a bit in any event.

Anyway, I hope I'm wrong, and I'll be first in line to buy new models if they come out, but I'm a little skeptical about the whole thing.

Makes more sense to release BFG as 2.0 given all the recent work

[wellspring]

In fact, thinking about it now, it makes much more sense if they're releasing a 28mm ship (or pair of ships grappled) as a terrain piece. Then they could have a boxed game that expands and uses their main minis line-- much like Space Hulk did for 40k.

Sorry to burst people's bubbles, and this is totally a guess on my part, but it fits better w/ GW's strategy than a 10mm naval game.

[fracas]

With GW's current trend for large models and terrain pieces I can definitely see 28mm ships and rules rather than 10mm scales

[David Wasilewski]

It's not out and I'm already a bit dissapointed based on what I've heard so far?

ONE ship of each race in the box??? (4 ships in the box?)
Limited release with minimal, if none at all post "big box" support?
It's not Man O War Fleet naval warfare with multiple ships, its one on one ship action?
Ships are roughly the same scale as Uncharted Seas, or only slightly larger - i.e. not compatible with Warmaster minis?

Meh!

Dave

[marell le fou]

It's impossible to be sure...

Rumors says there will be more or less 4 ships.

Scale seem to be Warmaster one, 10 mm.

No further releases for this game, this seem to be agreed by everybody. Like the Space Hulk edition two years ago.
