The ship models are quite nice, especially considering they are plastics

I rather liked 'The Black Kraken' when I saw the video


but the other night General Biakal reminded me about these from Dystopian Wars



I like all different kinds of ships I've seen in the game, they all have lot of character and very Warhammer-y and I'm sure Man-O-War players will love them - but the game is not worth the £70 GW want for it and the limited release push-push-push marketing is really unfair on players who might otherwise have considered saving up for the game.
It's clear GW only ever think in the short term, ah much money as possible in as short period as they can manage and once the richer gamers have brought up 10 copies each you can expect to see copies of Dreadfleet on eBay going for 3 times the GW price. I think I heard that Dreadfleet will only be available at GW stores too, so the independent stores won't get a look in.
So I urge you, if you're a real gamer (and even if you loved Man-o-War) don't buy Dreadfleet - don't let GW think they can get away with charging whatever they like.

and also don't buy it because you think there's a chance that if it sells well enough they will re-release Man-o-War or bring back WHQ - GW don't work like that, if GW want your opinion they will use White Dwarf to tell you what your opinion is. And besides Dreadfleet is guaranteed to sell out because of the limited release and push-push-push mean eBay sellers will be buying multiple copies
