One of the problems with adapting old board-games, as Evil Twin Artworks is currently doing with Man O' War: Corsair, is that you have to take a bunch of tiny plastic figures and convert them into actual-scale working models. That's especially tricky when you're working in the Warhammer universe, where naval vessels are actual floating castles complete with rampart and crenelations.

I had a nice long chat with James Carroll, director of Evil Twin Artworks, about the developer's upcoming Warhammer board game adaption Man O’ War: Corsair earlier today, and there was much discussion of Hellblaster Volley Guns, ork freebooters and dwarven submarines. Carroll also revealed that the studio will be bringing the game to Steam Early Access in early 2016. It's new territory for the team, but Carroll thinks the positive community they built around previous game Victory at Sea bodes well for their new project. We're hoping for an early 2016 launch, and we're going to go Steam Early Access at that point. One of the things we learned with Victory at Sea was that we really liked getting the community involved, and the community for that game was really supportive and positive.
