This looks amazing. Is the sea surface painted? ...painted cloth? ...a lucky find at a fabric store?// Wonders if some of the smaller ships from Uncharted Seas could be press ganged into service for MoW. //
I used to love the way they looked like the sea monsters on old maps.
I never connected the models with the classic map illustrations before!
“Michael Bay”? Cracking painting! I’ve still got a dark elf fleet somewhere, unpainted.
Very nice. I like the highlighting on the water elemental. Amazing!
I think it’s the battle mat that comes with the GW Dreadfleet game.
The ships sold by Ral Partha Europe for 'Empires-the miniatures boardgame' are a fairly good matxh for Man O War
I had not seen those before, they look promising Sir Theo. I will check them out. Do you have/know of any images that show the ships alongside MoW vessels?
I cant seem to find any. I do own both but I think all my Mow stuff is in storage ! They are a little smaller amd dont mix particularly well within the same fleet but an entire Dwarf fleet, for example, would work fine on a table against GW ships. I like the Orc ships in particular but they are perhaps a little more goblin than orcs!
Those terrain bits/monsters look brilliant, really lovely paint job. Don't bother with ships just go for it with the monsters!
Wasn't ManOwar similar in gameplay to Epic at the time, really crunchy rules. I'm sure I played it once and felt disappointed by the faffy aspect of it. More than a handfull of ships would take a week to play. (Epic turned into a nightmare)
