Main empire factions should have more of a wargalley esque ship type with some sort of eagle decoration at the front and large sails, since empire has a strong navy in the lore as far as i know, same for bretonnia.
Also tzeentch ships are ugly as f***, i dont even know what replacement would work

Man-o-War's or Carracks for Empire/Bret.

Drakkar Longships for Norsca.

Chinese treasure ship/junk for Cathay.

American civil war Ironclad Warship for Dwarfs.

Probably to similar to what they already have, but wanted to throw it in the pot of ideas anyway. :ratcoon:
Man-O-War and Dreadfleet are great refrences

If you're making ships for even generic lords, Surtha Ek deserves a chariot longship

Beastmen are just on a big tree they chopped down

There was an old white dwarf that had lizardmen on the back of a giant turtle, and I've always been slightly disappointed they went with old one ships instead,maybe that for the skink lords please.
Try to get your hands on a copy of Man-O-War: Corsair. Game's been delisted on Steam, but has much more up to date ship designs for most Old World factions.

Thinking more about it, if it had to be a bit bonkers and use in game assets.

Wulfric, made me think of a Norse mythology story about Thor going fishing for Jormungandr the sea serpent with a bulls head as bait/hook in a small dingy/rowboat.

Perhaps the coatl could be defeathered and used with a minotaur head in its mouth and some kind of drakkar or other structure being dragged behind or slightly resting on top of it. But might be to specific, I don't know.

Alberic already has the trident, so thought of Neptune/Poseidon, perhaps Alberic could have some kind of ship/structure being dragged by seahorses/seamares, if you could somehow convert the neck/head part of a pegasus or horse for it.

As epicfrog mentioned above I also thought of a giant turtle with a floating pyramid or similar for Lizardmen, where a Bastiladon might provide the turtle bits.

Rakarth would be kinda cool, if he was somehow dragged in a similar faction as Wulfric behind a megalodon or orca, but probably no assets for that, so maybe a giant reptile he caught in Lustria, like the upper part of a kroxigor or dread saurian.

Noctilus kinda fits the bill for the Pirates of Caribbean 'Flying Dutchman' style ship, halfway wrecked with skeletal/bone exterior ornaments.

Aranessa could have something of a structure on the back of a leviathan/promethian in the same vein you did with the squig.

Throgg some kind of ice float with a primitive structure on top and a big bone rudder, to keep it primitive.

Chorfs could have something similar to the ships of the fire nation from the last airbender. Steel structured ships with big steamwheels on the sides and a chimney with black smoke and perhaps a semi open furnace in the middle.

Beastmen on a raft with a hut and a pyre or burning strawman.

Vamps could have something dragged by bats or a terrorgheist. Maybe some kind of small mausoleum on top of an oversized coffin or something.
For Volkmar you definitely need to do the Heldenhammer, the personal flagship of the Grand Theogonist, it's too iconic NOT to include!

As for generic ship ideas, the warhammer wiki can help with that since they've got stuff for pretty much every faction. Greatships for the Empire, Ironclads for the Dwarfs, King Ships for the Norscans, Napoleonic ships of the line armed with *hundreds* of cannons for the Bretonnians (there is a loophole in Bretonnian law allowing them to use cannon on ships), etc.

Other than that, the Alberic Lord of the Sea mod from TWWH2 gave Alberic his own unique ship model. Perhaps you could do something based on that?

Anyway hope this helps!

I've already made The Heldenhammer, but it was stolen by Jaego Roth in another mod!

Neutral Pirates should maybe have their own design ?

Malakai should be sailing either the Spirit of Grugni or a remade version of the Unsinkable
