I think you are assuming things about my idea.

Ok then please explain your idea to me again and why you think it would work?

The black arks are essentially floating cities on the back of giant sea monsters.
Use large scale boarding action to get a large military force on it, kill all the druchii on board, or at least most.
Then we take some time, probably on the order of years, to learn how to control it.
Even if they have some self destruct they would have to manage to successfully activate it which we might be able to prevent. And if we capture it intact we can take our time figuring out how it works

Let me ask this then how would we move it since I highly doubt we want to wait as long as you suggest in enemy territory?

The black arks are not forever moored in naggaroth's shores. They travel out to do stuff.
We won't be moving it, we will have to capture it in a defensible location to begin with

It is highly unlikely we would be able to track some random Black Arc to such a location to successfully capture it to do what you are suggesting and most Black Arcs are followed by a fleet so it wouldn't be by itself.
Why do you have such a large interest in capturing a Black Arc when we can simply make something different our self or make a non Chaos powered version of the flying ships the Chaos Warriors tried to attack us with?

I didn't say it would be alone, but it won't be in the middle of enemy territory, it basically requires for us to have won the overall naval engagement, and instead of sinking the black ark after its escort was sunk, to board it.
And when they attack we usually have forewarning
I don't, I said it would be something neat to do.
Making a black ark equivalent is non trivial. Also the black arks are not powered by chaos

Just to clarify: Black arcs just straight up levitate. When Malekith decided to throw the worlds biggest temper tantrum at not being made Phoenix King after Bel Shanaar, he destabilized and almost destroyed the Vortex, causing tidal waves that almost destroyed Nagarythe and Tiranoc. Malekith's supported, most of whom were Nagarythen, who would eventually become the Druchii, basically ripped the cores of a few Nagarythen cities out of the ground and used extremely powerful magic to keep them floating above the waves. Many of these were eventually grounded and became the cores of the cities of Naggaroth, but some still serve as mobile naval bases for Dark Elf raiders.

hmmm, a lot of quests (and I do mean A LOT) have them be carry by giant sea monsters. but I double checked some wikis and they just say they float on the sea. but not how specifically...
Also, they say it wasn't malekith that ripped them out, but the local wizards. And that every one is unique. So there are probably some that float, some that levitate, and some that are carried by sea monsters, and who knows what.

Choas: Endless Hordes of Undead! That's cheating! Order factions aren't allowed to do that, you are supossed to bleed damn it!
Hope those sharks did not eat anything too tainted though all things considered that is a minor problrem to have.
We may have to help the Witch King out here. Of course the best help is the one that has us paracticing the noble Norscan traditions of raiding, looting and and kidnapping (Druchi infants).
Terribile news but it's not like there is much we can do about it.

Despite many people's fears, the Empire suffered very little during the first year of the Chaos Storm. They mostly take the time to lick their wounds and recover from the Silver Pinnacle.
Sigmarites United! - After Adolphus's ringing endorsement of Stirland's Grand Theogenist last year, the Reikland Grand Theogenist has grudgingly accepted defeat and swore obedience to his onetime rival. The Church of Sigmar is once more united under a single leader. However, cynics point out that a thing that has broken once is always easier to break again.
Praise Averland and Talabecland! - Those two provinces shocked the Empire with the sheer magnitude of their generosity. They suffered relatively little over the past few years, and they spent all year helping their less-fortunate neighbors. With their help, Wissenland has been pulled back from the edge of crumbling after the Lahmian pillaged the region. It will be years before the Empire's population reaches its former heights, but it is well on its way to recovery.[/QUOTE]
All is well here.
[QUOTE] Espionage: Adolphus's Vampire Hunt - The Emperor continues his hunt for Lahmians. However, your spies note that some convicted 'Lahmian pawns' happen to be Adolphus's rivals or they happen to be the subject of a Dwarf grudge. Your agents manage to confirm at least some of these convicts were discretely handed over to the Dwarfs for them to 'punish as they see fit.'[/QUOTE]
Well that is practical of him. Iwonder how the Dwarfs see his methods
The Strigoi are on the move. Where to I ewonder?
One of the few unequivocally good pieces of news this turn
Odd that Setra could work with Arkhan without losing his blessings.
Ok, there is something odd about this fellow. Laughing at the curses of Tomb Kings... Sigmar himself would have been more concerned.
Hope the Ogres win, after getting thoroughly mauled.

Yeah, basically Black Arcs are bullshit. I would like to eventually recreate the levitating fortress bit though, that sounds awesome.
I hope the Chaos Dwarves win. They reproduce less quickly, and if we raid them afterwards they're more likely to have intact loot!

Last time we looted chaos we had a cult hidden at our upper ranks that took years of effort to uproot.

Well this sounds like Alesandr is a Vampire of sorts. Maybe a progenitor?
Weren't the Strigany the people of a former Vampire Empire? I'm wondering if Alesandr is their leader returned or maybe the Vampires have recovered from what the Lahmians did to them after the bitch's dead.
The Strigany are the people of Strygos which was ruled by Ushoran. Alesandr can't be him because the Strygoi look dsitinctly inhuman.
I seriously doubt fucking with OR helping the Druchii is wise at this point. They're a global superpower, we're a regional power.
The chaos war on our front and screwing with the orcs/ogres is good. But doing anything with Malekith is asking for another very long drawn out backstab or revengr

... if Alexander-expy was an vampirized Strygoi ex-tomb king who managed to survive without drinking animal blood (go monstrous/insane), would it explain how he is giving zero fucks about the Tomb King's "Going Down With Me!"-Curse?

It might also be that he is such an awesome leader that his troops are believing in him to the extent that he is ascending to godhood

Well, we've already fucked with them by raiding them, no? We could simply just make sure it's not connected to us.

I can get behind that.
Either way, some involvement may be necessary, if only to urge others to handle that issue for us.
Nah mate.
The Druchii do have castles carried by seamonsters(Seadragons and Seadrakes really) in Man O' War but they aren't Black Arks.
They can however, be transported by Black Arks, just to give a sense of scale.

If the Shadow Warriors can be allowed to stage raids out of Skeggi that would make them more effective in attacking the Chaos forces and kidnapping the Dark Elf children.
I think Arnheim is closer.
Skeggi is like WHFB Belize.
The Tilean and Estalian colonies are probably also closer.
Of course, if we spend some time expanding(possibly bringing the west-coast based Nipponese under our banner), we could try to act as a WHFB Panama(though perhaps sans canal).
