Spartan Games Relaunch Uncharted Seas
July 14, 2011 by dracs
Good news for all you fans of fantasy naval slaughter. Spartan Games are relaunching Uncharted Seas, now using digital sculpting.
Check out some of these images.
I think this is probably a very promising move for Spartan Games as they are promising that this will allow them to produce more highly detailed sculpts and will speed up development time.
If you already have miniatures for Uncharted Seas don't worry. These new sculpts will be completely compatible with the existing models.
So what's the verdict guys? Is this a good move to take with Uncharted Seas? Leave us a comment below.
It’s fantastic news this. The game is in the vein of ”simple to learn, hard to master” war games. Took 10 minutes for us to learn the rules and then went straight into a few games and was a great 1h and a half of gaming. The models look great too in this relaunch and still remind me of Warcraft naval units a bit lol – but that’s a great thing. Can’t wait for the release of some of their painted minis for us to view.
Hah, I already webbuzzed this yesterday.
Uncharted Seas really will benefit from this as the ships used to be completely handsculpted. With the digital tools, they can just add so much more detail and crispyness to it. I am deffo looking into replacing some of the older models with shiny new ones.
One thing I really admire with Uncharted Seas is the entry price to the game too – its incredibly inexpensive and you pay money for what you get too. If your ships don’t have sails etc, you pay less money – simple as that. In the middle of painting some Iron Dwarves ships at the moment 🙂
I want it all and I want it now!!! The thaniras elves flagship are sooooooo amazing. Looks like a cruiser of Firestorm Armada more than a ship of Uncharted Seas

I really like the look of the new Sorylian Dread. http://www.spartangames.co.uk/bringing-out-the-big-guns
Just can’t wait for this big boy 😀
Interesting updates to a great game, prefer this and the sci fi game to that new one they do….Dystopian wars is it?
The three games are Uncharted Seas (Fantasy) Dystopian Wars (Steampunk) and Firestorm Armada (Sci-Fi)
Actually went to Spartan Games yesterday to have a quick look round and I must say in the flesh the Elves and Orcs look superb. I’ll be picking me up an Orc fleet to go with my new Orc army from Mantic Games. However it was the Shroud Mages that really impressed me, they have the constellations sculpted into the hulls of their ships. Very, very fine detail!!!
@Chuffy I’m with you over the Dreadnought as well the render looked sweet and I own a Sorylian fleet so I’ll be all over that like a rash when it launches!!!
That’s great; US is what started it for Spartan, but the sculpts were starting to show their age. I also hope they re-do the Empire somewhat more drastically, because their ships are plain ugly, while the whole tallship concept should really translate into something beautiful. 🙂
Well, those boats look good, tho im hoping for more stuff for dystopian wars, that game is great. And its not just on the sea, its on land and in the air too. And ive allways loved my steampunk.
