Man O War Elf Fleet Print, Paint & Play
Finding a High Elf Fleet
I have chosen to go with a High Elf fleet for our upcoming nostalgic return to Man O War. I have decided to use resin printed ships of a similar look to those of the original Man O War game. The truth of the matter is that the metal ones now on places like eBay are silly money, simply preying on peoples nostalgia and the purchase of my entire fleet would be likely cost me over £100 which is far too much for a trip down memory lane and a few games. The fact that the fleet I plan to print, which will see me with a force of around 2500 points, will cost me around £10 in resin puts this in perspective.
I haven’t been able to find any flyers that I like to represent the air assets so I am going with a total ship-based force with upgrades. I am really looking forward to getting these onto the printer and seeing how they come out. The above image shows the parts that make up the ships in their various forms and a rough scale through the 10mm gridded plate beneath them. If you are looking to get your own then these sculpts were done by Gareth Nicolas. He has done a High Elf, Dwarf and Human basic fleet ships which are all available on etsy.
This project is amazing!
Where did you get the STLs, and are they still available?
They’re hard to come by
Ditto… I’m on my own journey back to games of my youth and searching for stls like these are painfully difficult.
