Jonathan Bowen

@Xerecs: I can make the Alkahest a few more points without problem.

If I reduce the Agramon’s range it will be to L in order to properly maximize her ability.

Jonathan Morgenstern has the Nephilim keyword, because the character in the books that he is based on is something of a “fallen good guy”, and therefore would have the abilities/skills of…[Read more]

Hello again, y’all

Today I bring to you the beginning of the next faction in Eldest Seas: The Cursed
This post will contain quite a few pieces as there are cases of multiple links. Without further ado, let’s get into The Cursed!

(keep in mind, a lot of these will probably be changed)

Relevant Keywords:

–Demon: This piece has the Fear and Eterna…[Read more]

@Xerecs: Ok, I see your point, but at the same time, I was going for the “twin ship” idea with the Acclamator II and the Gladiator II. I can make an accurate Acclamator II for after/between sets; if I keep the stats on this ship, what star destroyer class/star wars ship could I change it’s name to?

-Darkhurst

@Xerecs: While I understand your frustration at the Acclamator II’s name origin vs actual ship, what would you suggest that a “carrier” ship even do in this game? How would it/could it work? Since she’s an English ship, I feel that a purely attack-oriented gunship would best represent a class of star destroyer, in this instance.

-Darkhurst

@Ben: Ok, so the Acclamator’s flavor text is purely for flavor purposes; I didn’t want an English Battleship with too much cargo to make her bjorken. And, at least by my standards, and not including potential cargo bonuses, she already has enough cargo to be effective with a similar breakdown as what you suggested with a Captain, Helmsman,…[Read more]

Last year’s summer Campaign, I got second place
…
That’s probably it… 😅😂😂

(I don’t count my custom ship makings as a majority of them require adjustments and ret-conning; so they’re not quite done just yet 😂)

@Xerecs: On the topic of the HMS Abnegation, how many points would you suggest?
And as for Lt. Tremaine, he has the same ability as Quartermaster Hawthorne from Dark Tides, which is 5 points, and the Sub-Hunting ability. So… 7 points?

Also, I know your opinions on North, but before I go completely retconning him, I’d like to get a few more…[Read more]

Hey again, y’all

I’ve got the last three English pieces from Eldest Seas for ya today, so let’s get into it!

Relevant keywords:

–Blockade Runner: This ship gets +1 to ramming and boarding rolls. This ship can’t have her masts rammed off.

–World-Hater: This ship gets +1 to her cannon rolls against any [non-faction] ship

18. HMS…[Read more]

Hello again, everyone

I’ve got three more English pieces from Eldest Seas for ya today, so let’s get right into it!

Relevant Keywords:

–Battleship: A ship with this keyword has two shots per mast and has Extended Range.

–Man-O’-War: Once per turn, before you give this ship a shoot action, roll a d6. On a result of an odd number, her cannons b…[Read more]

@Xerecs: In the case of the Moonfire, would you suggest an S+S base move, or should I just go all the way down to L?

The Irondale can have her points reduced; ~17, maybe?

Surrez would technically be a Marine that wouldn’t take up cargo, yes. Since he also has the Oarsman and Privateer keywords, do you think he should be more than just 7…[Read more]

Alright, so I assume nothing was thought of as horribly bjorken or unusable 😂
So I’m back with more!

Relevant Keywords:

–Nephilim: This ship gets +1 to her cannon rolls against pieces with the Demon keyword. If this ship is assigned a helmsman crew, she gains +L to her base move instead of +S

–Man-O’-War: Once, before you give this ship a shoot…[Read more]

It’s once again been a long while since I’ve posted 😅
@Woelf: So, as the Repeating Guns keyword is currently worded, do you believe that it should be reworded so that the extra cannon shots are mandatory, or is it fine as is?

Today I also bring two new English pieces from Eldest Seas! 😄

Relevant Keywords:

-Ironclad: you must roll a 5 or 6 to…[Read more]

It’s been a loooong time since I’ve posted here 😅😅

@Woelf: When I said “Flag Faction”, I was referring to the crew’s faction (the flag on the back of the punch-out). If that needs to be simply stated as the crew’s nationality, I can do that.
And yes, I know that Loyal: X is virtually useless. Honestly, part of the reason I made the Privateer…[Read more]

I see your point about Jackson, but I also think he’d be a little complicated. Royal Officer only works if he’s assigned with Caruthers or Springfield. It does, however, meet the requirements of Privateer, since Loyal: England (in this example) just needs a crew or ship to work. And keep in mind, his points still count towards the build total; so…[Read more]

Hello again, everybody
it’s been longer than I’d hoped, but I bring with me the next pieces from Pirates Of The Eldest Seas 😃

Relevant Keywords

Privateer: This piece may use its abilities on any ship, but it gains the Loyal: X keyword for its flag faction.

Royal Officer: When this crew is assigned with or on its Linked piece, its point cost is…[Read more]

Hey, Y’all
I haven’t posted in a while because prep for school stuff, and I’m still trying to modify some of the new keywords from Eldest Seas. 😅😂

So! Instead of starting with The Cursed, as I had originally planned, this set will follow my usual pattern of England, America, Pirates, The Cursed, Spain, and France.

So here are the first two…[Read more]

Probably a tie between the DJC Flying Dutchman, the USS Enterprise, the San Cristobal, and the Zeus. Maybe Paradis de la Mer. Although having more than one Sea Dragon sounds way more impressive to me 😂

Alright, everyone
I’ve teased this a little before, and I dropped the name in the Black Mongoose Tavern.
It’s time for the next set. 😁😃

I give you: Pirates of the Eldest Seas!

Now, before I begin posting pieces, I should really preface this with how I got the inspiration for this set. Recently, I started reading the Shadowhunter novels by…[Read more]

I think what really throws me off the Devil of the North is her cannons. I don’t disagree that she’s a good ship; it’s just that I personally have trouble hitting with 2-rank cannons 😅😭😂😂
So when I see ships with 4-ranks, I immediately avoid using them, regardless of abilities, because I know that the chances are, she will be close to defenseless…[Read more]

@Ben:
I’m not sure how I feel about the point cost for Devil of the North; I don’t own a lot of Longships, so I don’t really know if they’re much more expensive, but the base move and the cannons don’t really justify 22 points, in my opinion. The Cargo-Wrecking, though very useful, isn’t much of a point booster either, especially since the Devil…[Read more]
