>Warhammer 40k
>Warmahordes

I've played Warmahordes, and wouldn't really recommend it for getting your water-themed jollies on. While there are some ocean-ish things, the game itself doesn't really scream "THIS GETS ME WET!". There's some nice nautically inclined miniatures, but little in the mechanics that govern the game that makes the models feel like they're anything special in that regards, if that makes sense.

I don't know if Freebooter's Fate is still a thing anywhere at all, but that had some nice piratical stuff and a ruleset that was pretty swashbuckling.

Is this system easy to teach other players? I might not have many people to play with on the high seas except my first mate & my roleplaying crew. Last I tried teaching them warhammer, and they almost died of scurvy from how long it took to teach.

Very easy system to learn, only thing that lets it down slightly is how because there's only 2 stats for each unit, there's a bucket of special rules. Not that they matter at first.

These are something to go on with. You could also look into void whales if that counts. After the bullshit that passes for SM themes in 40k this would be completely legit.

the other stuff has pretty much been pointed out already, so check Freebooter's Fate for a fantasy themed pirates game.
Black Scorpion Miniatures have a Pirates game written by Gav Thorpe and a bunch of really awesome minis too.
Blood and Plunder currently does it's second kickstarter. It's a 28mm game that actually features ship to ship combat iirc.

I agree that there would be a huge size issue if you did. Maybe you could conceivably make a tall rock for the mermaid to perch onto? I'm curious to see how that army looks like before adding the mermaid. There's always a point where you cross the line of it-doesn't-look-like-necrons-anymore with too many model substitutions.

Then again, I'm still trying to figure out what wargame to get into, so I'm no authority on when an army is no longer cohesive aesthetically.

I mostly play Kings of War and Warmahordes, used to play whf on 6ed and tried age of smegma when it was released.

Kings of War is heavy on movement and positioning units. You could have a really OP mini, but if its bad positioned you just wasted points on it. I would recommend to watch some videos to have an idea, but what I love of the game is how punishing it is for making mistakes and how much you can do by forcing positions on enemies.

Warmahordes is more about synergies and how units colaborate with each other to make a strategy, for people who have no idea I always compare it to a card game were you build a deck, just that in here you build minis.

Warhammer is sort of like movement, synergies and custome army (probably a jack of all trades master of none). The whole idea is was being able to do cool builds of armies and managing them on the real battle, its fun but isn't really well streamlined and once you play a lot you realize that there are few good options for your customization, which hinders the meta.

Age of sigmar has really short rules and is better streamlined, but if you seek a strategist challenge isn't going to be your game. Its mostly about building armies that do good synergies, but these are mostly on the dice rolling, so you end up doing die rolling for everything.

Obviously I'm a kow and warma fag, so I'm biased toward those games (but its for different motives).

My recent decision to get into wargaming was from getting ahold of Warmachine MK2 and Warhammer 5e for dirt cheap at a flea market. But since reading them, this month I've read the online pdfs for Infinity, Age of Sigmar, Hordes, and 40k.

I liked reading MK2, but I want that large scale nautical army look that skirmish games don't have. Kings of War sounds like a good middleground, and the competitive player in me enjoys the punishing gameplay you're talking about.

>>53906870
Has anyone played Wrath of Kings? How does it fare against the other large scale miniwargames?

>>53916306

Whoops wrong poster; mean't to >>53913997

>>53916306
read the online rule book for KoW and watch some games (guerrilla gaming or master crafted are good channels). You can basically use any miniature if it still represent the unit you are playing with and there are good ways to start with few bucks (a unit only need 50%+1 of the models to be legally acceptable).

Yeah, that's the reason I play both KoW and Warma, so I can have the large scale army and the skirmish level army.

I would say that all those games are more in the side of skirmish battles than on large scale. If you want large scale go KoW or 9th (even so they don't have a sea creatures army, but I have seen some ogre pirates on sell), if you want skirmish go hordes or age of sigmar (but similar problem, there are no real sea creature army).
