In August 2018 Intrepid Studios offered a Dwarven themed skin pack for sale including a gauntlet, torso, caravan, freehold building, pet and mount skin. Missing however was a ship skin. On most monthly skin packs we see a ship skin however on this early offering from August 2018, we did not. What are the chances we will have an opportunity to purchase an Ironclad like ship skin to match the set?

    You don't see them because the ironclad nautilus is a submersible. Dwarven engineering at its finest.

    Earth Ships.
    They Drill around underground and pop-out behind the walls of a seiged node.
    Shortcut to the backline.

    So in the lore the Dunzenkell Dwarves actually originally come from an island and sailed to the main land of Verra's continent on ships made of stone and steel before they became the more traditional mountain dwelling Dwarves.

    As for getting Dwarven Ironclads, I'm not sure about that. Dwarven Ironclads and steam powered and AoC is going for a more an old school fantasy world less an industrial one, granted we do see/hear about a lot of arcanepunk/magic-punk stuff like canons that don't use gunpowder, Potion launchers, and airships. there was/is no magic in Sanctus so they are/had to be more technologically advanced.
    The Dunir are Nordic cultural influence so their ships will most likely look more like Viking langskip.
    The Niküa are Polynesian influence and we have already seen some of their ships

    The dead do not squabble as this land’s rulers do. The dead have no desires, petty jealousies or ambitions. A world of the dead is a world at peace

    I'm sad we don't have any ironclad cosmetic ship packages yet :(

    A year later and still no Ironclad ships? Sadder.
