	Rumours are once again 'floating around' that Man O War is due to be re-released in late 2017 or early 2018, though looking at the calendar those now seem pretty dubious. A [[Games Workshop]] insider claimed the game would be rebranded to suit the Mortal Realms of Age of Sigmar and was set to feature islands, sea forts, the ability to control weather conditions and a mysterious new "fish-like" faction known only as the Myrmidons. And this never happened though Myrmidons later appeared in ~~warcry~~.

	Presumably the chorfs have a similar opinion on the ocean as their dorf counterparts, but hey, at least we get arguably the most interesting ships in the game. What they do with these vessels though when they almost never leave the Skull Lands is beyond me. They lack the healing wounds of the standard Dwarfs as their engineers are solely focused on keeping their weapons of mass destruction in operational condition.

	Being on the water allows the Greenskins to get away with some really ludicrous things. Just the simple fact that these things are sea worthy is amazing, but when you see the cockamamie weapons they’re loaded with, it’ll likely make you ~~questioning~~ anything you know about naval engineering. Orcs and Goblins who use these fleets are mostly pirates by nature, always out at sea looking for loot and fights.

	*'''Hulk:''' Basically, a Warhammer 40k [[Space Hulk]], but made with Orc technology (hint: it involves a lot of nails, spit and rocks). Apart from anything possessed by Orcs that can somehow float, it features Iron Claws, which are big-ass claws made of iron that traps enemy vessels, and Smash-hammers, which are big-ass hammers made of iron that smashes said enemy vessels. Unsubtle, even for Orcs.		*'''Hulk:''' Basically, a Warhammer 40k [[Space Hulk]], but made with Orc technology (hint: it involves a lot of nails, spit and rocks).

	*'''Bigchukka:''' You know how Dwarf ships have steam-powered paddlewheels? Well, Orc ships have something like that, only theirs are Orc-powered (and non-Orc captive-powered) treadwheels. Also, they use rock catapults, and like the Hulks look more like sea siege towers than conventional ships.		*'''Bigchukka:''' You know how Dwarf ships have steam-powered paddlewheels?

Picture that but bigger, clunkier, woodier, and floatier, and you have a Drillakilla. Not only can it ruin the day of any boat (specially itself), but also, each time it moves it has the chance of becoming a submarine!

Why the Dwarfs have a full navy when they hate the water so much is baffling (aside from a compulsive need to one-up those damn Elgi). The majority of their fleet comes from Barak Varr, where they’re used for commerce and expeditions for gold. Their navy gives the plucky Engineers an excuse to get really creative, leading to some of the most advanced sea-faring vessels in the setting. Dwarf ships also have the special rule of regenerating lost hit points, representing the master engineers onboard the ships constantly doing repairs.
	*'''Ironclad:''' A steam-powered floating metal fortress, with rotating gun turrets and paddlewheels for moving.

Men of the Empire claim that the Dawi stole the idea from their Wargallies, which definitely sounds like bullshit to me. Just like the real life monitors, it's an armoured ship with a very low profile, making it difficult to hit.
