Northstar Miniatures: On The Seven Seas Nickstarter Launch Date

[Steve F]

Just don't take it anywhere near Hartlepool.



That's a hugely entertaining comic book, by the way.

I think I want that ugly little monkey in a tricorne too...

I'm guessing that's a comic based on the Monkey mascot from that ship in the Napoleonic Wars who was apparently hung for being a spy?  Hah, very cool.  Lovely looking art.

It was all a misunderstanding because he surrendered and ate cheese.

*sigh* May have to pick and choose and not get all the exclusive figs....grrr...flipping exchange rate sucks! Wish there was an option of pick 2 crew or 4 crew packs instead of all and add a few exclusives in....eip! Well maybe I can ebay the difference....

When is the "i want it all" deal going to be available, because I WANT IT ALL !!!!

I'm hoping for some more details about the rules before I pull the trigger on a preorder that large. Especially the ship rules.  So far I've really liked all the Osprey games though. I'm really hoping for a rule set that covers the ship and the figures and combines them into a neat little package.

I heard the ship rules area low how they are presented in Legends of the High Seas, so you could have ship battles or skirmish games with ships but the primary focus is land based skirmishes.

The Queen song on the comment on the Facebook page is quite fitting.

Now just to find room in the painting pile!

Hmmm, I hope it's a bit better.  The LOTHS was mediocre at best - but nothing saying we can't crank out some house rules if they're a bit soft.  I just need to convince some other people to play this with me.  I don't know if I can paint/afford to host a full game at the moment.  I am looking forward to making the board for this though.  Luckily I still have my islands stashed away!

PS: Just posted to their facebook - I like most of the minis but they all seem overly characterful (as mentioned beforehand by some folks).  Some are very Disney-esque and I'd say at this point I prefer the less absurd Black Scorpion (but I won't buy any more of their resin figures) ones.  I'd definitely consider picking up some up, but I was hoping for some more average deck hands.  Everyone seems to be dressed up in their Sunday best.
