Games Workshop has announced a new boxed game similar to the Space Hulk game they did a while back. This time it’s Man-O-War that’s getting the fancy treatment.

From Games Workshop:

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?

We’ll be receiving a limited number of these games, so be sure to place your order soon.

Come learn to play HeroClix in a fun and casual environment. We’ll be running HeroClix on Monday evenings. HC Judge Alex Eggleston, an experienced judge, will help you get starting in this fun and fast game.

Prizes for First Place and Fellowship.

Hope to see you there!

Of course, you’ll be able to play your favorite board game anytime, but the larger tables will be reserved for miniatures.

So, rather than release an inferior product, they chose to redo the entire project. Along the way, much of the design was improved along with the production materials.

The terrain in the following pictures was build using around 1 1/2 boxes of product. Click on the pictures for a larger view.

Also a number of new Reaper minis as well as a large restock.
