Main Features[/h2]
Update 0.10.1 brings updated Brawls! They are now a separate battle type with short seasons and a smaller team format—expect the battles to be more dynamic and fast-paced compared to other battle types! You can participate either in a Division or solo, and you don't need to be a member of a Clan. Team up with friends to win more battles!

• Each Brawl runs for only a few days. This battle type isn't available during low-activity periods.
  
• You'll be able to complete a special combat mission chain—win battles to earn Credits, Coal, and other rewards!
  
• Your allies are picked at random if you don't enter the queue in a Division. Matchmaking takes your ship type into account.
  
• The ship-type compositions of each team won't necessarily mirror each other.
  
• For each new battle, you won't be matched with any opponents who you fought against in your last several battles.
  
• Bonuses for the first win of the day are not available in Brawls.

[h2]Details[/h2]
VIII Ragnarok is an immeasurably ancient vessel, a relic of days long forgotten. It was built in the shipyards orbiting a world of proud and fearsome warriors. Though the citizens adhered to the Imperial creed and paid their tithes, secret cabals on the planet’s surface worshipped Khorne, the Lord of Rage. Their cults were strong. They were hated. They were in a minority. At the appointed hour, they rose up and tried to overthrow their loyalist masters. They failed. They were defeated in a long, bloody war and all, to a man, perished in flames. Their names were wiped from history. But the fickle whims of the Warp decreed that their vengeful spirits would forever haunt the vessel Ragnarok, whose hull was being constructed in the docks above the planet's surface. To this day, Ragnarok and all aboard it cry, "Vengeance! Death! Blood for the Blood God!"

For a detailed look at the ship's technical specifications, follow this link.



Originally designed for a Naval mission of the purpose now long forgotten, VIII Ignis Purgatio was lost during the Horus Heresy. After missing for several millennia, the ship was rediscovered on one of the Frontier worlds in the Jericho Reach. Though clearly a warship, it was put to use as a transport by its new, uncouth masters who failed to recognize its true potential. After undergoing intensive repairs and cleansing its quarters of its previous inhabitants, Ignis Purgatio was eventually returned to Imperial Navy service and, since then, it has become an essential component of Battlefleet Solar. Once again, it acts as a fearsome guard dog for humanity and, by proxy, the Emperor Himself.

[h2]Commanders[/h2]
The World of Warships Commander roster will be see the addition of two new characters: a valiant naval officer of pious military lineage—Justinian Lyons XIII, and an Aspiring Champion of Khorne—Arthas Roqthar the Cold. Each Commander has their own unique voiceover!

The new Commanders are available only in bundles together with the Warhammer 40,000-themed battleships.

Here are some voice samples—take a listen!
