New GW Game next Saturday

[thebinmann]

One box, all in , one chance. 

OK so no support later? Can a game with 1 ships really have that much appeal?

Not sure I'm understanding the cost arguments...

How much does a battle mat from mat-o-war normally set you back? HJow much are the uncharted seas ships and how much would a full colour rulebook normally cost you?

£70 for an all inclusive miniatures game is really good in my eyes...

Not being a pro GW`er by far, with this I agree completely, and was also the argument I put down vs the price complaints on the TSA forum.

I'm seriously tempted by this one, and I haven't bought any GW games in a really long time.

I agree as well. If the game mat is half as good as it looks, I would love to have one. Plus there is quite some terrain, sea creatures and ship wrecks, etc.

So taking all into account I think the price is worth it. I will still wait for the parts to pop up in some bitz store, because I only need the terrain, 2-3 ships and perhaps the mat.

Why release one ship from each race? Seems to me its destruction derby on the high seas.

The blurb suggests that there are two teams of pirates, thye are not the same race, though.

Same thing here...
But finally the overload of skulls prevents me buying this...

Like the look of some ships - although others are simply too top heavy for my taste, maybe it's because I live on the coast and know how rough the sea gets, but half of the ships look like they are designed to capsize, although since they are plastic kits it might be feasible to convert them.

Not sure about the terrain either. How many skull islands does a person want.
Certainly not at this time of year, Poundland is full of cheap plastic skulls (in assorted sizes) that can be quickly glued onto a CD for a skull island. So that's a no vote on the terrain.

The ship bases look good though. Only for the warships and not the auxilliaries?

The last gaming mat I bought was £35.

Not really interested in the rules, so that £70 looks a bit steep to me.

Loads of good points there man.

The Kraken thing is alright, but a pass from me.

So, not that rare at all, then?

Okay I have got my hands on a copy, and all I can say is wow
The box is very full and the plastics are really nice, The sprues look well planned out and full of bits and some interesting little bits like the flying dragon and either dwarf airship or sub. the detail is equal to dystopian wars.
The mat is material and feels a bit like silk but im sure it isn't the book is a strange size and lots of cards, the islands are the first sprue you will come to very nice lots of little detail and should work with dystopian and uncharted sea.
All in all a nice set a bit expensive maybe but you do get loads for your money, Not realistic maybe but it is unashamedly fantasy and does look cool, It is GW showing that they can still make good model

Thanks! 

I'd talked myself out of buying it..............
