Those are very nice
cheers

A great collection!
I particularly like the dwarf and goblin sculpts from black scorpion, so much character.
-
A very nice collection.
Although personally - oh dear, speaking as an old fart - I am going to have to bemoan the steady drift towards fantastical pirating based on glossy 'rules systems'... ::)
Is there really not enough madcap mayhem, colour and invention available in the regular world of miniature pirate games, that orcs, elves, dwarves and other such GW-inspired flim-flam appears to be fast becoming de rigeur?
No reflection at all on your very nicely sculpted and painted figures :)
I just find it a tad depressing that we can't seem to keep any genres free of the ever creeping influence of GW and all their imitators and wannabes...
-
Yeah, what that stodgy old git said! ;) I really love the paint jobs on the undead though. That grey-ish tone on the bones is unusual, but very effective. Especially paired with those creepy red eyes!
-
Those Royal Navy marine are great! Nice vivid colours.
-
Awesome! :)
-
I really like your painting style - the dwarven pirates look great!

Bah! Everything is better with Elves...! ;)

Thanks guys :D
I was going to stop there but he keeps on releasing more and more stuff damn him!
Hoping to get one of those "Cover Girl" figures.............

I think that Cutlass! did exactly what was expected, countering the rather booring foreword of Legends of the High Seas with some fantasy elements, and why not? I dont mind, I love zombie pirates, and with that in mind I will of course get Cutlass, wich I am sure can be played totally fantasy free.
I have Legends of the High Seas, and the rules are not bad at all, if you dont consider the rather poor attempts for a campaign setting. It is my hope that Cutlass! will do better in that department.
I must say to your defense Captain Geriatric, that I do actually understand what you mean, and I even agree with you to a point, however, I like options, and this is what at least I will be looking for in Black Scorpions new rules.
-
Id agree with that. I am not a huge fan of fantasy and even less of a fan of GW but this looked like a nice fun game that I could put together in a short time span, easy to play and "relatively" cheap.
I fully intend to run non fantasy games with these as well and I'm looking at alternative scenarios to just straight Pirate games, hence why there are alot more human models in my collection then fantasy ones.
I have ideas for Anti-smuggling operations, raiding/provisioning expeditions, town brawls (inspired by City of Vice) and many more and will be adding figures from other ranges as needed (Natives, Soldiers from other nations etc).
-
Hehe, well if you do write down your scenarious, I wouldent mind swapping a few later on :)
-
Bah! Everything is better with Elves...! ;)
;D...haha...I was going to say the same thing about Dwarves!

Those Greenskins look strangely familiar! Have you had a chance to check out the Cutlass rules properly yet (I know you were having problems getting past the cover...)? If so any impressions? Have to to say I did like Strange Grogge, though (despite my dismal performance).

Ive had a quick skim through, Im really busy atm trying to get as much painting done as possible before I go back to work.
From what Ive read so far it looks very interesting, Open ended dice rolls for one.
-
I kinda like the fantasy feel to it...
My club even went as far as to make up fantasy warband lists for LotHS based on LotRs stats...
I personally think there is a market for this style of pirate games.
-
I must say those models look great I look forward to sneaking into your room and stealing them soon! :)
Capt Blood should you require I will send my ninja brethren to take care of these non-human pirates but it does seem kind of racist in the truest sense of the world to say an elf or dwarf cannot swashbuckle a booty or two!
In a serious note, I guess I just like the idea of options, I do a lot of RPG games so fighting a dwarf or orc pirate is only a matter of time!

I must thank you for this ^^ I was sitting here, enjoying my morning coffee and toast (and enjoying the fact that our doughter is outside for a while), soaking up the spring sunshine and reading. This made my day a better day :D
