Campaign Ships - Total War: Warhammer 2

I was lucky enough to model and texture the majority of boats featured on the campaign map for Total War: Warhammer 1 & 2.

It was one of my favorite tasks so I'm really happy to be able to share them with everyone. Most of these ships were based on those featured in the 1993 Games Workshop table top war game: Man O'War.

Although it has no oars and cannot ram, the Greatship is still a formidable monstrosity at close-range, able to burst open rival warships in a single volley and is crammed full with boarding crews eager to come agrips with the enemy.
