As for people who spend £100 on a game and then play it for 2 months,

£100? Only if you came late to the party!  :D

Actually I don’t need any new rules, I play way too rarely. I’m collecting Mordheim miniatures, all of them and unfortunately a lot of them are OOP and so it’s getting a very expensive matter. Re-release would give me the opportunity to get closed all my Mordheim collection gaps. And I don’t mind at all if they would bring out some new models, not because I need them, I’ve got enough, I’m even producing some with our LAM Bruegelburg range. Just for only collecting reason, so that my collection would  also continue to grow :) Apart from that it would be nice to have  a new shiny Mordheim book, always loved the pics :)

fair enough :)

New video on GW's site with a bit of a teaser. There's talk that makes these ships sound like floating fortresses, one with a giant steam hammer.  o_o

Ah.  I'm less interested in it after watching the teaser.  I bit like when I saw the teaser for "Hobo with a shotgun"...

I was rung tonight by one of the boyz.  No details at all.  It will be in the shop tomorrow, on the web at 12 and it will cost £70.  Sounds like a stand alone............

I'd agree with you on that.
Especially that bit about the steam hammer.
I've no objection to fantasy, and nothing against fantasy ships.
Provided they look as though they could actually float, the fantasy is supposed to be the crew, or method of propulsion, not their seaworthiness, and some of the earlier MoW stuff looked less stable than a cross between the Mary Rose and the Vasa.

Hmmm, I might actually buy this, mostly for the ships though, there are some that look awesome like the `elemental driven` ship and the flying ghostship

DreadfleetFor two bleak decades the Undead reavers of Count Noctilus have plagued the oceans of the world. After each raid, the Dreadfleet disappears into its lair as quickly and silently as it appeared, far from the reach of Man. And yet there remains hope. Captain Jaego Roth of the Heldenhammer has vowed to hunt down and destroy Count Noctilus and his Undead captains once and for all. With him sail the most notorious and cunning of the pirate lords of Sartosa, each borne to battle upon a giant warship bristling with cannons, organ guns and bolt throwers. At the stroke of midnight on Geheimnisnacht, most forsaken of nights, the Heldenhammer and her companions sail into the realm of undeath known as the Galleon's Graveyard. One by one, Count Noctilus and his vile allies move in to stop them.

Dreadfleet is a boxed game for two (or more) players that includes everything you need to make war on the turbulent seas of the Warhammer world. At your command are two fleets of ships - the Dreadfleet led by the Vampire Count Noctilus, aboard his gargantuan sea-hulk the Bloody Reaver; and the Grand Alliance commanded by the Pirate Captain Jaego Roth, who recently stole the Heldenhammer - the pride of the Imperial Fleet, and one of the largest galleons to ever sail the high seas.

As your ships engage in furious battle, it's down to you, the fleet captain, to make important split-second decisions. Do you bring all guns to bear on the closest enemy warship, or do you sail into position for a furious broadside? What happens when the warship catches fire, or worse, the powder kegs ignite? Exactly how much punishment can your warship take before it sinks without a trace? Are those Undead seagulls or flying piranha fish? And, when all else fails, do you have the courage to ram your foe, board their ship, and engage them in a duel to the death?

Does look nice and I think it will vanish fast; the ebay crew will snatch loads.

Will go and look anyway.

As a veteran of Man O War I see some nice minis, but since it is a "one-shot" game I am not interested at all. :?
I am really curious how GW is doing with these "limited" games...
cheers and keep on gaming, Agis - http://www.adpublishing.de

Being a one release is for once actually the reason I`m going to try and get my hands on it, I really like those ships even though I care jack sh** about the actual rules.
