Uncharted Seas: Battle Pics

Hello all, Slick here with some pics from our last Uncharted Seas tourney - this time it was a Team Tournament.

Uncharted Seas: 1,000 Pt Battle

Hello all, Slick here with some pics from a recent 1k pt Uncharted Seas battle with my Shroud Mages taking on a Ralgard fleet. Absolute domination by the Shroud Mages for this one.

Uncharted Seas: Shroud Mages Nightshroud Escort Cruiser

Hello everyone, Slick here with the latest Shroud Mages design. This is a ship idea that I've been toying with a while. I thought it would be cool if the SM had a supporting cruiser that allowed them to utilize their specific magical abilities more.

Shroud Mages
Nightshroud Escort Cruiser
DR 4 CR 6 Move 6 Hull 4 Crew 5 Ram Red 6

Port/Starboard 6/4/2/-
Fore 4/2/-/-
Aft -
Special *

This is a Medium Capital Class Variant Ship
Uses the Medium template for moving and firing
Steam engines mean the ship IGNORES the wind direction
Deployed in squadrons of 1 Model
Special Rule: Steam Bellows +1 and Steam Burst
Points: 65

The Nightshroud cruiser features a large radial dome on the forward section of the ship which emits a sickly green and purple light as it comes within range of enemy ships. The dome actually acts as a amplifier for the magi on board, allowing various magical attacks in addition to mundane weapons. Whenever a Nightshroud is activated, you may make one of two special attacks listed below:

Shroud of Darkness: Play against any enemy target within Range Band 2. It MUST be within line of sight of this ship. Roll 1D6, on a 1-3 there is no effect, on a 4 the target CANNOT turn during this activation, on a 5 it CANNOT turn and CANNOT move more than 2" during this activation, and on a 6 it treats all of its attacks this turn as if they were one Range Band further away. This effect is magical and can be countered but the opposing player must choose to counter it before any dice are rolled.

Shroud of Madness: Play against any enemy target within line of sight. Roll 1D6 and on a 1-3 there is no effect, on a 4-5 the target loses 1 Crew Point, and on a 6 the target loses 1 Hull Point AND 1 Crew Point. You DO NOT roll additional dice if you get a 6. This effect is magical and can be countered but the opposing player must choose to counter it before any dice are rolled.

Hello all, Slick here with a quick update for the Shroud Mages. Here is a finished squad of Destroyers. Comments welcome!

Uncharted Seas: Dwarf Battleship Variant

Hey all, we're testing a new Iron Dwarf Battleship variant in our local group. We've come to the conclusion that the Dwarves are just lacking a bit in their competitiveness in several areas. For some more long range firepower we've come up with the following variant:

Volcanus Class Battleship

DR 6 CR 12 Move 4 Hull 8 Crew 7 Ram 9

Starboard 11/9/7/4
Port 11/9/7/4
Fore 7/6/5/-
Aft 4/3/1/-
Mortar -/7/9/11

This is a Large Capital Class Standard Ship
Uses the Large template for moving and firing
Steam engines mean the ship IGNORES the wind direction
Deployed in Squadrons of 1 Model

Mortars* Fired in the same manner as a trebuchet. In addition the Mortars have the Flame Weapon MAR.

Points Cost: 150

The Dwarf Ferrous Class Battleship is a new variant on a proven battle platform. It retains the lower profile and angled armor of it the Forge Class while incorporating two massive mortars in the center of its hull. To make room for this heavier ordnance, Dwarven engineers had to remove some of its broadside weaponry. The carnage caused by a hit from the mortars, however, more than makes up for this. The crews of these mighty vessels love to watch the impact of mortars on enemy ships as they are set ablaze. Enemy commanders should still be wary of getting in too close as this machine can still deal out 11 Attack Dice (AD) at Range Band 1!

News: Uncharted Seas - Upcoming Releases

Hello all, Slick here. There are a couple of new ships up for preview on the Spartan Games website! Finally the Shroud Mages are getting some love with the Illuminator Frigate. The Ralgard also will see the release of a pretty intimidating heavy cruiser. I will definitely be adding a few units of these new frigates for my Shroud Mages.
