Hi Folks
Following the success of my French Indian Wars project I have now started on the new adventure - Pirates !
I have made a start with an Ainsty boat & the Foundry Horde
Would welcome advice on rules, figures, boats, terrain and other nautical views...first up where can I find some decent 28mm treasure chests !

Oh, well, good luck with your new adventure! I'm sure it will be impressive.

I love the Foundry pirates.
Great pick.
Outstanding boat, can't wait to see it painted.

Fergal don't worry we will still be playing and all future battle reports will be posted

Lordy! You don't rest on your laurels, do you? Looks very promising.

Great stuff. I picked up a load of pirates from Stu at Col Bill sometime ago. When they will get painted only christ knows.

Make that two of us :)
As for rules I have just started a campaign using Legends of the High Seas. They are ok, basic but do the job.
For figures you can't go wrong with the Foundry range. If you want to add some government troops look at Front Rank C17th - 18th and take your pick.
For scenic items have a look at Black Cat Bases.
Boats and ships Ainsty, Minimi, or Games of War :

When you say that you have just started a campaign - are you actually gaming or just putting together the components?
cheers

Well, Eric, you have certainly got stuck into this one pretty damn quickly!
I look forward to seeing your progress... ;D
-
Blimey, you are not hanging about with this are you?! :)
Arhhh, Mason beat me to it lol
-
oh the shame of turning dreams into reality, aren't you supposed to arse around pontificating for about 6 months , then paint a test one arse around for another 6 months...... :D maybe that's where I have been going wrong
In all seriousness great start, like what you are doing,
Looking forward to seeing what else you will be doing
impetous given to me to dive in and get started on something

Cheers guys - no point in hanging around :)
The next 15 are already on the kitchen table waiting for a coat of paint tonight - its that or watching a dire game of football. To think I could have been at Mamalute's but Mrs Shed told me to stay in a look after kids...
cheers

At least your time at home tonight won't be wasted :)
-
Will be if I end up watching the footie... ;)
-
I can paint while watching footie as long as the match isn't too important. I try and listen to crowd noise and look up only when they are reacting to things.

we lost...but I think Hammers will be pleased
:'(

30 of 'em, and all!

He just cant stop, can he?
OCD or something more sinister?

A great-looking bunch, what about a few pirettes?
I'm afraid the Black Scorpion ones are too *huge* (33mm?) to be Foundry-compatible, and I'm not sure about the Freebooter ones (yet their Assassins (http://www.freebooterminiatures.de/en/catalog/miniatures/assassins) look so good!); but the Eureka Ladies Pirates are certainly compatible with Foundry. The cutest of the range (the one in tricorne) is also available separately, in two different poses, from Irregular Miniatures (http://www.irregularminiatures.co.uk/indexes/25mmindex.htm)
