As always, there's too many good pirates to buy.

I heard the Black Scorpion old west figures are huge, so I'll be prepared for that the same goes for the pirates (not really an issue for me, though, as I'm already using the titans Redoubt calls their Three Musketeers range).

I go crazy!  :D  There are some really fantastic poses in there. I like the one with the tattered coat blowing in the wind. And the two pistols. And the musketoon.

Those are some nice figures & I would love to have some for my little Pirate Project I'm working on.

I have contacted Black Scorpion to see when these will be ready, hopefully before August. Prof, I'm hoping to get a few in your hands for my project, but we will see what sort of pull I have...

Wow!  That man's a sculpting genius!! :o

Question - the peg-legged and one-legged guys - do they get slower movement rates? :wink:

Those sculpts are fantastic! I really love the greatcoats - many pirate figs come in Carribean garb, and these look way more weathered.

Some more models on the me-wants-them list.

Pete: More to the point, will there be bonus Victory Points for making a clunking noise whenever they walk over wooden boarding?  :D

Well, I finally figured out what pirates I'm gonna use! :love:

These are great! And as I have no others, scale won't be an issue...
