The '''Dreadfleet''' was a small armada of (mostly) [[undead]] ships led by the vampire '''[[Count Noctilus]].'''<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The vampire formerly known as '''[[Nyklaus von Carstein]]''' ignored the squabbles of his brethren and sought greater power. He found the source of the power he needed in a special underworld for sailors and their ilk called the [[Galleon's Graveyard]]. He raised thousands of undead and used them in a ritual that translocated his castle and the rock it sat on into the cursed waters. He took the wreckages of ships and turned his castle into a seafaring vessel, known as the ''[[Bloody Reaver]]'' and took the new name of '''Count Noctilus'''.<br />
<br />
For many years Noctilus hunted the seas of the world. He was known as a great threat to every coastal settlement, but even more terrifying was the '''Sea-Curse'''. Any sailor during those years that died at sea or any ship sunk in open waters would be at the mercy of Noctilus once they arrived in the Galleon's Graveyard. In this way Noctilus became even more powerful, and the greatest fear for any sea-faring soul.<br />
<br />
In '''2522 [[IC]]''' Noctilus raided the pirate island of [[Sartosa]], the homeland of Captain [[Jaego Roth]] resulting in the deaths of his entire family and sending him on a quest to destroy Count Noctilus. After a failed attempt to recruit [[the Empire]] to his cause, he stole the ship ''The [[Heldenhammer]]'' from the [[Cult of Sigmar]]. Knowing that he needed funds to gain allies, Roth raided [[Zandri]] and sailed away with chests full of gold. <br />
<br />
This angered King '''[[Amanhotep]]''', who then joined the Dreadfleet. With new funding, Roth recruited ''The [[Flaming Scimitar]]'' and ''The [[Swordfysh]]''. The three vessels headed back to Sartosa to restock before heading to the Galleon's Graveyard. The trio encountered a sinking [[dwarf]]en vessel, and decided to aid the dwarfs. Heading to [[Barak Varr]] instead of Sartosa, they managed to recruit ''[[Grimnir's Thunder]]''. <br />
<br />
Roth's forces crossed the boundary to Galleon's Graveyard but became scattered. The ships managed to regroup after fending off the Dreadfleet, and then encountered and recruited ''The [[Seadrake]]'', an [[Elvish]] warship. This Grand Alliance headed to the Maelstrom, the source of Noctilus' power, where Roth sacrificed himself to destroy the Dreadfleet and its master.<br />
<br />
==Ships==<br />
The Dreadfleet consisted of five ships; <br />
<br />
=== The [[Bloody Reaver]] ===<br />

The flagship of the Dreadfleet, with the vampiric Count Noctilus at its helm and manned by an undead crew. The ''Bloody Reaver'' was forged together from the wrecks of dozens of other ships. The Count could summon powerful undead sea monsters to do his bidding.<br />
<br />
===[[Skabrus]]===<br />

A war barque commaded by King Amanhotep, a [[Tomb King]]. A Pyramid tomb was constructed in its center and it was capable of firing focused beams of sunlight, setting its targets ablaze. It also sported five colossal marble [[Ushabti]] with great weapons, and used catapults instead of cannons.<br />
<br />
===[[Black Kraken]]===<br />
[[File:Tumblr mt5f1mEgMa1siu7gxo8 1280.jpg|thumb|right||''Black Kraken'']]<br />
The monstrous construction of [[Tordrek Hackhart]], a [[Chaos Dwarf]], the ''Kraken'' was an advanced submersible which had been imbued with the soul of a [[daemon]].<br />
<br />

The ghost ship of the ghost captain [[Vangheist]]. The ''[[Shadewraith]]'' was insubstantial and capable of flying over the waves, its ethereal form making it harder to hit.<br />

<div>From what i've heard Gork and Mork were not revealed to be a two-headed god in Age of Sigmar, but rather fused together during the End Times. I don't have a source for this through.--[[User:Ashendant|Ashendant]] ([[User talk:Ashendant|talk]]) 03:07, 16 July 2015 (MDT)<br />
<br />
That could be the case. I don't have all the End Times books so I'll try to change the page back to what it was later today. Hopefully I can get my hands on the proper source. Thanks for alerting me.

they are not mentioned in the end-times books. only that wurzag was looking for two warbosses that could unite the greenskin. maybe there is a book somewhere that details the story of the greenskins in the end times--[[User:Arh-Tolth|Arh-Tolth]] ([[User talk:Arh-Tolth|talk]])</div>Arh-Tolth
