I had also been waiting with baited breath since somebody from the UK
had
spilled beans on rec.games.miniatures.warhammer, as, of course, they get
White Dwarf earlier by half a month.
The ships I've seen in the mag look a lot like the old Imperials with
just
enough changes to make my large holding unusable (how GW-ish ;->= ).
Really
torqued me off that it was Imperial vs. Imperial, Chaos. Sorry, found it
a
paucity of imagination. Well, as I haven't actually tried the preview
rules, I'll get to it, and try a preview review laters.
True about the shadow-whatevers: I have one with sails accidently
snapped
off that someone else had done in greens and yellows. Eldar ships were
supposed to be somewhat 'organic', but these are almost creepy.
However, I always thought the tenticled 'nids painted in metallic greens
and purples would REALLY be hideous.
Off to give the WD another perusal.

PS. Rules can't be any worse than the old 'how well can I drop dice into
the box top', psuedo-tic-tac-toe. If only they tried going off Man O'
War,
which I finally played again this week!
