Upcoming Pirate range from Black Tree Design

The swabby and the guy with the molotov cocktail (i believe that's what it is) look awesome.

Great stuff, Cianty!  Those look really nice.  Is that your ship posted on your blog?  BTW, I am Goomb from Da Warpath, Terragenesis and Tom's.  I found this site from your post on Tom's actually.

Hi, Goomb! Thank you! Good to see you're still alive. 

I am not sure which ship you mean but my guess is "no". If you mean one of the ships from my Collecting Ships for Tabletop Games article, then the answer is "no". I have the Sea Dog and the Tenders from Games of War, but I have yet to present them in a proper post on the blog.

The older gent sitting on the barrel is particularly nice, as is the treasure chest.

Yeah, that one along with the cook are my favourites.

Any idea when these pirates should be released ? Thanks.

Those are definitely some great poses...I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some of them!! As Malamute stated, there are many that have had bad service from BTD. I remember when I put in my first order with them, which was a significant sized order a couple of years back around Christmas time's rush. They shipped out my package in two boxes. I received one of the boxes, but not the other. I called them, yes, from Canada, so that I could get them early in their morning, and before I left for work. They were very friendly, helpful and courteous. They apologized and then re-sent the entire order, and included extra figures, which I didn't expect. I contacted them again to tell them that they had re-sent the entire order and not just the missing figures...their reply was "It was our mistake, we are sorry for the inconvenience!" I even offered to re-send the extra figures back but they declined and told me to enjoy them. I was very impressed and have ordered from them again with no problems.

So getting back to the Pirates...will the line be extended? When did you say the line would be available?
Thanks in advance, and good luck to yourself and BTD.
Regards,
Hitman

Very nice sculpts but I will never again order from BTD. In recent years I have placed 2 orders with them. In both cases I had to contact Mastercard to get a refund due to the inability of BTD to deliver/communicate.

They're great! I've had a hit and miss service with Black Tree, so I'd give it a go.

Any news on a release date?

[cianty]

I'll ask the sculptor. Maybe he has some news (though I don't really expect that...).

Thank you, some of these pirates are awesome.

I've talked to Wojtek and he told me that the minis are now in possession of BTD. So it's up to them to release the minis now. Maybe it will help to write them a few emails and request the pirates.

I did write them last December but didn't get a reply though...

[Galman]

Heck I will write them Cianty.  I want to see you paint them bad boys up.  Always a pleasure seeing your works of art, beit Pirates or BTB.

[cianty]

I am flattered... But remember that Tom List painted my Black Scorpion pirates for me. Credit where credit is due! He is already working on the next project for me...

[The Dozing Dragon]

Would love to see this range released!

[cianty]

Me too...

[Dr. The Viking]

Hmm yeah I remember going all "wohooo!" when I first saw them...

I've decided that 2010 will be the year of the pirate, so they better get them out before that.

just had a reply to my enquiry from Black tree Design, Pirates will be out around July apparently.
