Hi all

I am considering building up a collection of metal pirate minis to go with the wonderful townsfolk minis that Bruenor painted for me last year.

Can anyone recommend any good pirate mini ranges to look at ?

I've been eyeballing .

And to bring up a line that I first heard of on these very boards - .

By the way, Warhammer Historicals just came out with a Pirate game, based loosely on Mordheim.

The Auld Grump

If you are looking for Undead Pirate go to Moonlight 28s

I like the Black Scorpion minis those are great but doesn't it seem that the red coat's rifles are short?

Warmachine has some great pirate mini's. There is also a few fantasy steampunk minis for the boats... Don't forget non-human crews.

I've been drawn into Warmachine largely because the quality of the mini's is so good. I mean, you have to look really hard to find flash to trim... They paint up real easy.

Undead;

Olleys Armies have some nice Dwarf Pirates to variate the crew with abit.

Hmmm, urge to build new Maiden rising....



Black Scorpion Miniatures....

The Auld Grump, though trying to do a 20 gun vessel might get a wee bit expensive....

A general roundup of pirate figures.
Reapers box sets, I think, are full of fantasy races, The Pirates of the Dragonspine Sea 2 set features a halfling, half-orc, dwarf, and Cap'n Sophie the Succubus.
My pirates are mostly Reaper and Eureka, who have a good mix of plain, sexy lady, Chinese, Turkish, zombie and skeleton pirates, and accessories.
I tried to order something from Black Scorpion once and instead of a checkout I got this weird error I can't remember because I've never seen it before or since.
Hasslefree pirates are ok, and Freebooter have some but I haven't seen them and I have only ever ordered from them once, Herr Klockes creations are awfully expensive.
Grump, might I suggest Minimi Miniatures?

They have some of the cheaper solutions we've found regarding cannon.

Wow, those are decent prices!

How big are they? 'Cause I think that those may be just what the doctor ordered.
