IW Nic's 28mm swashbucklers (now with natives!)

[Irregular Wars Nic]

While I wait on more Baccus 6mm Austrians to arrive, I've been diverted by a small pirate project. I have set out to do 15x 28mm figures nominally divided into three groups - a blue crew, a red crew and 'natives' (more Pulp natives than any specific culture). Capt. Brown's Boys are all from North Star Miniatures: the boy is a metal 'Jim Lad', the others are all made up from a Ghost Archipelago plastic sprue with North Star's resin conversion kits.

There are a range of games that they could see action in: Song of Blades and Heroes, Song of Drums and Tomahawks or Flashing Steel are all options from Ganesha Games. I have also picked up En Garde! from Osprey which looks very promising.

Nice.

No, not Capt. Blood of this parish, but the notoriously fictitious Captain Samuel Blood and his tiny crew of red buccaneers.

Thanks a lot for the kind words gents.

I've made a start on my native war party as well, but taking a pause because of a twinge in the back.

Very nice indeed.

The last of my three planned factions for swashbuckling games, I finished up my generically indigenous pulp native war party this week. Although I took inspiration from the indigenous populations of northern South America and the Caribbean, there is nothing intentionally specific about these gentlemen and no cultural disrespect is intended. The figures are all from a single plastic sprue of Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago natives, so they have more than a touch of fantasy about them.

More individual photos on the blog as always for anybody interested: https://irregularwars.blogspot.com/2020/05/28mm-swashbucklers-cacique-chipotls-war.html?fbclid=IwAR1h6kMe8gpAwXUyyliViab3mqGAAbSC5mMcH_7LxsF2lNsd4SdAHi_VkBU
