Man 'O' War - a slight diversion with more islands and ships
« on: 15 August 2015, 11:54:08 AM »
I've played this ever since it came out and dabble every now and then  :)

It's time to dabble again  :D



Just the one teaser image for now, I'll finish re-planting the rest of the islands and post them up with the fleets that I've got so far.

cheers

James

No idea but apparently it's supposed to be 1:1200 but I doubt it's that accurate. The clear base is 50m x 25mm if that helps to size it.

The 'corsairs' are scratch built as they go for silly money on ebay.



I've had a rather heavy week at work and it was nice to go through the man o war box I've got and get a few bits out. I have run out of trees and palms now so I'll have to order plenty more  :)

cheers

Fantastic! More pictures please.

Beautiful islands, and I wouldn't have noticed the corsairs were scratch built if you hadn't mentioned it. Nice modeling & painting!

MoW was always a favorite game of mine (though a little bit of a hassle to manage all of those cards.) I havent olayed in many years, but have the game & ships stored away in the hope of returning to it someday.

These look brilliant.

Me and friend are looking at dabbling in this and I have to admit I am inspired :D

Oh, Bretonnian corsairs! This makes me feel all nostalgic. I've still got Man-O-war minis somewhere, I might dig them out.

Nice island and scratch builds btw
