Even though Freebooters Fate is my FAVOURITE Piratey Game ever - I do play/collect other games & ranges.

So I'll start with a couple of Black Scorpion Miniatures -





Another (converted) Black Scorpion Pirate -



Ron & Bones Mary Gold -



Some Freebooter Pirates now -







Loads to do (as always) LoL!

Looking good!  Not much of a pirate guy, but you can't help but admire the attention to detail.  I'm always in wonder at folks that can do stripes!

No offense to the Sculptors (as Gothic Horror/Victoriana is a particular favourite of mine) etc, but theres not as much scope with those type of Miniatures as there is with Pirates (or Superheroes for that matter) - stronger lines and bolder colours are the norm. Whereas with Victorian Gentlemen (unless they are wearing their Smoking Jackets) the colours are more muted and subtle.

Upon saying that - I'm looking forward to painting some Vampires and such like as I can "let rip" a little!

Need to finish my FF Pirate Crew, and some more Cutlass (I'm sick of painted with unpainted miniatures LoL)

Looking good so far!
