Ok, so Im thinking about pirate models. Particularly those that would fit in with Warhammer Fantasy.

I am aware of the GW, Forgeworld and privateer models.

Really im looking for conversion pieces that could go into GW human kits. Possibly whole models but that are compatible with say the empire militia/free company set. Conversion kits are good too.

Thanks!

There arn't a lot of conversion kits out there for human pirates (ork pirates abound...)

Black Scorpion Minis offers an excellent line of Pirates in 28 mm scale.

I saw these in person at Adepticon, and they were just super cool. I really dig the stuff inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

You can easily make pirates out of the Empire Miltia box. Comes w/ guys w/ eye patches, bandanas, cutlasses, pistols, and long coats. The models definitely fit the part. Cheaper than buying indiv figs from everywhere else to try and convert and fit w/ GW stuff.

Cheers guys.

Your quite right rustbucket, however its because I have 40+ empire based pirates, the sartosan captain, some of drongs slayers (although the command group is mangled I could do with a re-buy), a cannon, a few halflings and the empire powder monkey. On the list is the pirate maneater to be a unit-filler. I have the mordheim ogre to be a unit filler as he still looks pretty piratey (just not captain-standard like the maneater).

Thanks for all the good linkys.

Hey sorry to be a web necromancer I realize last post was a month ago but I just found the forum. I've never played I only paint and read the Warhammer novels. I just finished a pirate crew! I'll post pics next time I get some free time probably a week. I've got a couple pics I'll try to ipload now.
