    K cSS Eschewing the propeller based propulsion o other steam ships, thevessels which the Magus supplied the Shroud Mages are powered byan entirely unique system. ypied in the common Lurker rigate,their powerul engines stream jets o superheated air into the water,thrusting the ships orward with a combination o simple momentumand thermal expansion.

    M: Seam Bur

    M cSS A prime example o the Shroud Mages keen usion o technology andsorcery is the Illuminator. Te Lurkers mechanical turret is adaptedso that Priests o Light may conduct their rituals within its cramped

    connes, imbuing special shells with a magical luminescence. Uponimpact with the target, this arcane glow spreads across the targetshull, until it shines like a lighthouse, drawing the repower o everyother Shroud Mage ship in range.

    M: Illumae, Mdrec, Seam Bur

    P cSS SNimble, sturdy and versatile, the Adepts exible turret allows it toconcentrate signicant re against the most valuable target, whetherit lies to ahead or to either ank.

    M: Ne

    SS SForegoing bow chasers or a more direct approach, the Magusengineers who designed the original blueprints devised a lethal ramthat compensates or the ships lack in momentum. o this, the Shroud

    Mages added an arcane device that temporarily blinds their oe aerthe impact, allowing the dwarven marines to eciently dispose oany remaining crew.

    M: Bldg Flah, Seam Bur

    SK cSS cSAlthough the ships designed by the Magus appear less heavilyarmoured than their Iron Dwarves cousins, cunning metallurgyand multiple system redundancies mean the nal product is noless durable, and oen allows a greater density o repower to becrammed into equivalent sized hulls. Coupled with experimentalShroud Mages engineering to give sudden bursts o speed, ships likethe Stalker are the reliable workhorse o a Shroud Mages commander.

    M: Seam Bellw (+), Seam Bur

    KSS cSS cSTe highest magics practiced by the Shroud Mages are themanipulation o Light and Darkness. Te twisted rites o the Invokers

    o Darkness warp the Mages minds and bodies, uelled by the mostsinister o blood sacrices. However, the results are undeniable,and truly terriying to behold. Darkness cruisers operate in pairs,conducting synchronised rituals to maniest clouds o sentientdarkness at the nexus o their magical power. Tese clouds choke the

    lie rom any souls caught in their midst, drowning their senses and

    clogging their lungs with smoke.

    M: Sealh, Darke Clud (6), Idepede

    PP cSS SMAt the cutting edge o Shroud Mages technology, the Rippersrevolutionary hull design allows the surprisingly large vessel to dipcompletely beneath the waves. Using its considerable momentumbehind a needle sharp prow, a Rippers Captain will slam hisvessel straight into the enemys hull, dipping upon impact to draghis serrated ridge across their keel, tearing ragged wounds in theirvulnerable underbelly.

    M: Hull Breaker, Hull Rpper, Ir Ram, Pac Dve

    M cSS V cSTe Shroud Mages nation is not densely populated, nor are its peopleconsidered among the nest warriors. Tis they compensate or withdark magic and cruel weaponry. Te ormentor sits at the oreronto this ideal, supplementing their meagre crew with a horriyingweapon built into its bladed prow. Tese steam bellows inject boilingvapour into the hole rent by the ram, pouring steam into the enemyshold to cook their marines alive, beore their assault troops move into clean out the remnants.

    M: Seam Bellw (+1)

    cSS SPWhilst a ormal alliance exists between the Dragon Lords and Shroud

    Mages nations, not all Lords trust the Dark Ones, and occasionallyconict erupts between them. One such instance occurred when aHouse raal patrol eet stumbled upon a battle between the Shroud

    Mages and their Old World cousins. Determined to enorce the peace,the Dragon Lord commander opened re on both sides, destroyingmost o the Shroud eet in one catastrophic explosion. However, theremaining Intruder Battleship reused to quit the eld, shrugging ofvolley aer volley as it systematically exterminated the remainingdwarves and their erstwhile allies.

    M: Seam Bellw (+2), Seam Bur

    M cSS SPConsolidating all their experience and expertise gained rom studyingthe work o the Magus, the Shroud Mages shipwrights created theirmagnum opus. Engines, more powerul than any other vessel oating,are manned by a vast and dedicated crew. Heavy broadsides andbrutal chasers are supplemented by agile turrets, one o which was

    purposeully constructed to seek out and eliminate airborne threats.Tough costly to produce, these reliable war engines are the pride othe Shroud Mage Navy.
