first of the cutthroats, the famous Kheir-ed-din, an Ottoman-Turkish admiral and privateer who served in the Ottoman Empire and in the Barbary Coast. Also known as Barbarossa , "Red beard". I think I should repaint his beard

I should have first read about the guy then paint... :roll:

Hey where is the Base ??
Prof.Witchheimer are you disregardful ?
:twisted:

that's just a WIP pic , no worries, the guy will get his base.

btw, i'm not sure about bases, there are two possible variations on designing. Either the usual "round 5cent + sand" or one like that:

what would you prefer?

My 'pirates' (and the likes) get all planks under their feet. I mount all my miniatures on plastic bases. To prevent the bases from getting too high I sculpt the planks from a thin layer of green stuff right on the base.

round 5cent +Sand or 5cent +Wood but no Mortheim style GW bases .

Those figs are great! I love how colourful they are. Some guys around here are putting together a pirate set of rules using Two Hour Wargames' black powder battles game system and it is really tempting...

Tough call on the bases because I could see the pirates on a buried treasure diorama base, so the sand and grass works well... But I like the wooden characterful bases. Here is one I did for my corsair captain:

wow

nice one! did you sculpt him?

Neldoreth · « **Reply #8 on:** 25 July 2006, 09:17:21 PM »

I did sculpt that

Thanks for the positive feedback!

That was my fourth complete sculpt, and although I am not that great with proportions as of yet, I am getting the hang of working and smoothing the greenstuff

I actually put that base on there because I liked the idea, but also it made casting a lot easier than the slot style set up I did previously!

I see. But the hands look fine, something I still got problems with.

That's the way I'm sculpting my bases too. Looks better than gluing real wood under the mini.

Keep up the great work, i'm looking forward to see more of your sculpts!

I will try it, looks really good and not too difficult to do
