Try here to find the pirates at Foundry.

And here for Black Cat Bases:

And I alos like the Warhammer Free Company for making my own pirates - I know, I am building a Warhammer Empire army of Pirates.
Gratuitous link to some of them here: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=8918.15
They are about halfway down the page.

Good question : I have the same... I've bought some conquistadors for another project few years ago and last week I've bought some Black Scorpion (their girls have made eyes at me). But I see that Foundry doesn't mix so well with BS. What kind of miniatures mixes with the BS ?

Post by: Black Cat Bases on April 09, 2009, 02:40:44 PM: Hi,

Our figures mix well with Black Scorpion. Foundry are alot smaller, more like 25mm in some cases (or 28mm to top of head rather than to eye!)

Post by: cianty on April 09, 2009, 04:34:05 PM: Yes, go Black Cat Bases and Black Scorpion (it's what I did). Best pirate figures I can think of. *double thumbs up*
Title: Re: figure sizes for pirates
Post by: uti long smile on April 10, 2009, 09:43:46 AM: I agree with cianty. Black Cat and Black Scorpion get my vote. Foundry are more 25mm - all great, but a bit smaller.

Post by: HerbyF on April 10, 2009, 11:41:56 AM: Foundry & Dixon mix really well together And so do the Old Glory regular pirates. The Old Glory army club collection & Redoubt size up fairly well with the Black Cat & BS. Eureka & Artizan are some what in between. If you mix enough a few bigger guys don't look out of place with some smaller ones. I have a little of just about everything.
