Title: Warhammer Fantasy Ship Designs [?]
Post by: Pendrake on 17 October 2013, 04:20:49 AM: Does anyone know where to find templates that GW once created for scratch building boats and ships to fight over? They might date from around 2005... About then GW published a set of deck-to-deck combat rules.

I have been scouring the web with no luck. I don't have any URLs from GW's website to try in the wayback machine website. Any hints/ clues/ help would be appreciated.

I was able to locate the Generals Compendium in the stacks. Boats were in Chapter 8. Sadly no construction templates...

Kinda chasing down a rumour, I guess. Maybe they were in a very old White Dwarf.

They are meant to be enlarged. So you may already have them but missed them if you were looking for a two page spread like his paddle steamer plans. If not I can send you a scan.
