Well sad news, in the new notes for mordheim nearly all the lists are gone, well the flavorful ones, which means my pirates are history. But it shouldn\'t keep my motley crew out of club games.

Right now I have a lot of partial build characters and henchmen.

Heres two wip blunderbus toten pirates. They are suposed to also be equiped with 2 clubs, but they have yet to be made, and have considered the addition of only one on each guy because though could just use the gun to smack people with.

A wip ships mate and cabin boy. Im not happy with the handle of the club, or the head of the club it self, so it will just be a place holder for now. The goblin cabin boy just needs a sculpted poofy sleave to match his other.

Lastly the only thing thats \'finnished\' model wise, the dwarf ships mate! Equiped with a rapier (counts as a cutlass) and a hammer hes ready for RR, the ol\' pirate way!

The model is a wip, and needs work in every area you can see. Though I need some opinions on what I should paint some areas:
-should make the wraps around his wrists, leather or \'bandage\'?
-what color should his pants me?
-any tips on how to achieve a nice sun faded beard/ hair? (no true red, orange, black or blue lol) looking for a more light brown, dirty blonde/ redish blonde look
-any suggestion how to paint tattoos?
(fogey I know your the dorf master!)

I still have another cabin boy, 2 boat swains, and the captain to make. Any suggestions on painting or converting let me know =)

Looking very cool! I love little units with tons of character...

Painting tattoos isn\'t too hard...it can be done a couple of ways....Whichever color you\'d like to use (blue seems popular) and paint the design. Hit the highlights with a lighter version of your color. Finally, when it is dry, use a very light glaze (1 part paint to about 20 parts water) and go over the area with your fleshtone. You may have to do that a few times. That will help the tattoo look like it is part of the skin, and not just on the skin.

You can also draw the tat on with a Micron Ink pen. They make really small nibs (.01-.05) for instance....Same deal with the flesh glaze/wash at the end though.
