About this expansion

Man O’ War: Plague Fleet is a 1993 expansion for two players, designed for games lasting about 180 minutes. It brings the fleets of Chaos into Man O’ War, expanding the naval conflict with new forces, rules, and components.

Set beyond the icy seas of Kislev and the Sea of Claws, the expansion reaches into the dark Realm of Chaos. From the dangerous Seas of Chaos come the Plague fleets, carrying the fatal taint of Chaos across the globe and threatening the ocean-going warfleets of the Known World.

Plague Fleet includes fleet lists and rules for a wide range of forces. These include Khorne Bloodships, Hellships of Slaanesh, the Great Winged Terrors of Tzeentch, Plagueships of Nurgle, Deathgalleys, Skaven fleets, and Chaos Dwarf fleets.

  • Chaos Sorcerers and dark magic drawn from the Warp
  • Chaos and Skaven magic decks, plus a Chaos Reward Deck
  • Chaos terrain pieces and specialized templates, including the Vortex, Wind of Chaos, and Nurgle Slime Trail
  • Ship templates, range rulers, wound counters, and extensive Chaos and Skaven crew counters

The expansion also adds Grey Seers, Skaven Assassins, Rat-Ogres, Great Bells, Pink Horrors, Chaos Lords, and other named forces and counters. Its 72-page rulebook provides the material needed to bring these fleets and powers into the wider game.

With its combination of new fleets, spell effects, terrain, rewards, and crew markers, Man O’ War: Plague Fleet broadens the original naval battles with the unpredictable and destructive influence of Chaos.
