@Bloggard: Thanks very much!
@Papierschnitzel: Cheers! I'm just the paintmonkey, but I'll pass the compliments on.
Righty, yesterday the last two figures of the first batch of Pirates of the Dread Sea minis finally arrived. To help get over time time it would take me to get these done I threw together some improvised terrain for some scenic shots of the existing minis:
Problem is that I own zero maritime terrain, apart from that little rowing boat. So I had to improvise. First I laid out my Dreadfleet sea blanket and a land mat, then I cobbled together a simple landing stage and looked for some other bits and pieces to have in the scene.
Of course the shoreline is always a tricky thing to depict on a tabletop unless you have specific scenic item for that. So I boldly went with slightly exaggerated ocean spray. Quick, easy, improvised. And the minis are meant to be the focus of things anyway.

Right, I hope you like the minis! Currently working on getting the last two done swiftly.
