    A few years back at Historicon there was a guy that had a 500,000 man Napolean's army done in a 1-for-100 scale. Not nearly as pretty as this though.

    In the words of a Russian General, "Quantity has a quality all it's own."

    Beautiful work. Beautiful photograph as well.

Yes, it's mine - or at least what is painted at this point. I went seriously overboard buying minis after I found out the game was going OOP the WEEK after I spent my intial $100 on the main box and some miniatures! All my friends liked the game but were not going to invest anything since GW had canned it, so it was up to me to collect enough ships for us to play. Luckily I found a lot deeply discounted and bought enough to do conversions too (Ive made about 20 ships of my own creation).

Thanks for the compliments everyone, I originally took this pic (and some others) for the Man O War Yahoo group, but after I saw it I thought people might like it.

The ship with the hologram disc is my own creation and not an Official Games Workshop ship. It's an Undead ship and although GW released rules for the Undead fleet in the Citadel Journal, this ship was not one of them. I came across the skull hologram on a key ring at Disneyland and instantly thought of trying to use it as an Undead ship of some kind for Man O War.

The ship is called the Specter and the disc when activated is the manifestation of "evil" and causes fear to those that can see the apparition. In MOW terms, it's a 9" 'attack' in a 45 degree arc off of the bow of the ship. During the Specter's movement phase, the Undead player first moves and then activates the ship for the image to appear. Any enemy ships caught in it's "attack" range must then make a die roll to see how their crew will react - the further away they are the better their chances of being ok.

If they fail the die roll, the results can be no movement, no firing or even both.

It's still in playtest mode, but you can read about how it was used in my MOW Battle Reports recently posted under the MOW game session reports - "Dead in the Water" (4 parts).

I believe it is Citadel Journals #6 & #9 that have the Undead Rules in them. The first one has the basic rules for the ships and magic users and the next has the revised Magic rules as the basic ones were flawed. I will be posting some pictures of the Undead ships soon. I took pictures of the individual fleets as I set up this shot (which took about 3 hours to set-up and put away!).

I dread to think how big a table you'd need to fit all the ship cards for this fleet! That was always my problem with this game - you need a space twice as big as the board just for book-keeping.

:D :laugh:

This photo is of all the fleets not one (there are 14 official ones), so you'll only use a small portion of them at any one time. For example, the ships in the front with the red and yellow sails are from the Imperial fleet. A typical game is 1000 points per side so you'd end up using only about 12-15 ships to get to that total, which really doesn't take up too much space.

Also, in the files section, are the beginnings of some reduced templates to be used with Dry Erase markers, so they can be stacked or put on a clipboard.

I was just being facetious. We still find that you need quite a bit of space even for 1000 point games. Luckily we do have some big tables at our club. Good game.

Ah, I figured you probably weren't serious, but then answered anyway for those not in the know. :)

My "seascape" is actually a blue metal sheet mounted on a piece of particle board with some trim on the edges. It's self supporting so the easiest thing to do is open a table up like you are going to add a leaf and let the board span the gap. All the cards then fit on the rest of the table.

Works like a charm!

Scott--One of the best photos on the BGG. Great! It is not hard to see why you keep getting opponents for the game.

I'd be scared. But then, maybe it's the "gunslinger" syndrome.... Gotta take out the guy on top.

Beautiful fleet. That sounds trite for what I really mean. Seriously, fantastic!
