Gentelman,
This afternoon I recieved my copy of Legends of the High Seas from Rob Broom, (the perk of being the author). and the book looks great!
A big thanks goes to a few folks here on the forum for providing figures to make my writing look so well. Thanks to Tom Weiss, Dominic Goh, Alex Bews, your stuff looks great!
Here is what Rob Broom posted on another forum about LotHS:
"Shameless promotion, but advance order for this book on the WHW web site is now available, and its probably the fastest way to get the book.
General release should be early Feb to late, depending on where you are in the world.
I received a couple of copies from the printer yesterday (the bulk of the books are somewhat appropriately sailing across to the warehouse) and after my usual look through to ensure its all alright printing and binding wise, I must say it does look very impressive.
All who have seen it here seem to be saying its our best ever book and theres been a sudden out break of talking like a pirate around the office."
So thanks for all your help and to everyone else on this awsome forum for letting me rant about LotHS, you guys are great!

Yes Pete it has been a long journey, and I hope that the book will do as well as yours! Which reminds me I still need to pick up your rules to play as well. :)

Tim,
reveived the book today and must to say that's going to be the best book of the Warhammer Historical range. Awesome work, mate, I'm very impressed. Fantastic artwork, countless beautiful pics with lots of figs, ships, and terrain. And really inspiring too, now i have to paint some new pirates :-)
BTW, who makes the other chinese figs (page 86, they're fighting against my guys :-)), these are really full of charakter!
Congratulations, Tim, can't wait for the next one 8)

As a recent owner of the book, just wanted to point out my delight! (No I'm in no way associated with the author or Warhammer Historical.)
One helpful fact I've learned and would like to share is that the minis on display in the book for Non-player-characters (like bartenders, cooks, serving girls, governor, etc.) can be found on Black Cat Bases website, under the Pirate section, Townsfolk: http://www.blackcatbases.com/prodtype.asp?strParents=&CAT_ID=117&numRecordPosition=1
There are many different minis on display from many different vendors in the book, but finding some NPC's was a bit more tricky than just finding pirate minins. Hope this helps someone out there...

Others worth checking out are the Foundry and Outpost 18th century and the Front Rank ones :lol: civilians
-
Thanks for the advice - some good civillians to be found at both site! (I have promptly ordered some... ;-)
-
And the Legend has landed in Malta too :) :) :) :) Looks like I'm all set for reading material for the weekend :)
-
Finaly it arrived here in Germany too.:love:
It looks even better than expected, I have not read yet, but the pictures and layout and so on are realy great.
I will start reading this evening, than I will pick the miniatures I need and build my crew.
:( It's a pitty that here in Wolfsbug is nobody to play with, so I have to be a little patient again till I will meet again some of you.
:) On the other hand I will need some time to paint the minis first
Thanks for Tactica!

You will have to lure your fellow gamers through crafty means, get yourself two small ships and crew (or just the crew to start) and get others to join in, they wont be able to resist once they have a go at bucking their swash :mrgreen:

Or put some treasure maps into circulation, "x marking the spot", that should have the motley crews dropping in... :lol:
Karl, "buckling your swash" certainly sounds like an euphemism, and I do NOT actually want to know WHAT exactly it means... :lol:

Going round the horn is what you need to look out for :o

I am a Navy man, sir. I assure you I know of Rears and Vices.
Lon tells me the LotHS book is in Brigade's steely clutches, which means I should get it by Wednesday.

Thanks for the nice write up of the book, I'm glad you like it. I'm glad that folks are finding enjoyment of a game I wrote not to publish, but that I could play & have fun with. being published is a nice side note for it.

My copy arrived yesterday. I haven't had time to read it as thoroughly as I would have liked, but a hearty well done to Tim, as well as to the august personages of the forum who contributed painting or figures or some combination of these. My comments echo what others have said: It is a brilliantly produced book and it looks like a great deal of fun to play.
Tim may have written it for fun, but it is clearly a great addition to the Warhammer Historicals lineup. I dip my flag in salute to his triumph.

Anybody knows where to get the soldiers/sailors/governeurs (the "good" guys)
By the way
:love: hurray...rules for ships !!!
Has anybody tried the ship rules...steer the ship safely into a habour and moor it without taking damage??

...steer the ship safely into a habour and moor it without taking damage??
Ask Sub Lieut Phillips for advice ?
(Anyone here recall HMS Troutbridge ?)
