I don't know much about this game, but I've seen it and since there was no thread dedicated to this I decided to make one. As far as I can tell, Man O' War is the fantasy version of Battlefleet Gothic. I would love to find out more about this, anyone who plays/used to play? (They're out of print, I think.)

Aww, and here I thought this would be about the rockin' metal band. Brothers of metal unite!

man o war is THE BEST GAME gw has ever made. it was simple great rules cool minis and afordable, battlefleet gothic is its bitched up cousin. it had every race from the old warhammer fantasy even chaos dwarf. if you have any questions about this game ask me i own everything for it. also dark elves rule in this game.

Tragically, I never got into Man O' War - that was long before I had the disposable income to devote to this kind of hobby. ...or an interest in anything FB-related.

too bad this game didnt cost much. only 30-50 dollars for a 2000 point fleet.

couldn't you combine it with Warmaster or something similar? I remember seeing guys at our club doing some Large Naval battle followed by a an Inland assault

Um, Blood Raven777, it wasn't about the Rock/Metal Group, but about A Miniature Game, also called Man'o'War ........

And yeah, i'm quite certain it was used together with Warmaster on at least a few occasions .... but i might be wrong ...

Warmaster was released quite some time after MoW, I think it was out of print by then even, but that didn't stop the old veterans of GW to dig up a copy every now and then to tie in with their campaigns of conquest.
