Excellent crew, I can't really understand why you give me money 

Because that's his entire painting output for 2011 so far 

Being a lead baron takes up a lot of time 

[Orctrader]

These are good.   

Makes me want to paint a few pirates.  (Maybe after the "African" project.)

[gamer Mac]

Glad to see these getting some paint after all the years sitting in my lead pile.
Lovely job
Almost inspiring me to dig out and paint the ones I have left.
I say almost as I am bit busy with the LPL painting some of the figures you sent me.

Excellent crew, I can't really understand why you give me money  

Being an eccentric millionaire and a lead baron might have something to do with it.  

......And my inability to find the time to paint, must take more sick leave

Wonderful stuff Nick. Really nice whites, and the simple colours give them a nice unit coherence. 

If you pull a few more sickies you'll be set up for the next LPL, no worries!

Nick you are using these for Legends of the high seas?
After painting up my pirates for the LPL I have been bitten by the pirate bug.
What do you think of the rules?
Worth the twenty quid?

Yep we have started a campaign using LOHS.

The rules are the usual basic GW rehash of all their other games.

 They work ok, are quick and simple to learn.

 Are they worth £20, probably not, There are others out there which are I am sure equally  as good or better, or as Captain Blood would say write your own on a single side of A4 paper.

Predictably I was seduced by the glossy pictures in the book

Thanks
As for writting my own I am a bit lazy when it comes to that sort of thing.
How many figures do you need for a crew in the game?

[Malamute]

We have been playing four sided games with 10 figures per side. They have given us games lasting three - four hours. No reason why you couldn't play with more or less figures depending on how good you make their stats.

Oooooh! Missed these. Very nice indeed. Any pics of the games?
