Warhammer Fantasy Ship Designs [?]
« 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.

I have the article you're looking for. The ship plans are part of the article, on the second page at the very bottom right. 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.
