The Grand Alliance

Jaego Roth returns to Sartosa to find his family killed by the supposedly legendary Dreadfleet. Denied official help, he steals the Heldenhammer and raids Zandri to pay other captains to join his pursuit. The Golden Magus, Aranessa Saltspite and Red Brokk bring their own interests to the expedition, with Prince Yrellian encountered later inside the Galleon’s Graveyard.

The Dreadfleet

Nyklaus von Carstein masters Shadow magic and moves his castle and followers into the ocean’s supernatural Maelstrom. Reborn as Count Noctilus, he assembles the Bloody Reaver from the wreckage drawn into that realm and recruits or binds other sinister captains. The account explains the Galleon’s Graveyard as a source of vanished ships and Undead sea creatures rather than simply a remote stretch of water.

Warships of the Galleon’s Graveyard

The ten warships are introduced through their captains’ motives and the details built into each miniature. Imperial grandeur, a transplanted Vampire castle, elemental minarets, Dwarf engineering and a reanimated sea beast make each vessel recognisable as part of the Warhammer world. Their mismatched alliances arise from revenge, profit, rivalry and supernatural obligation, giving the fleet a cast of individual characters.
