An Adventure with Pirates - The Pirates!

 

Malcom sure was a great painter, he made a damn fine job on these figures.

They are a mix of Wargames Foundry and Artizan Designs.

Malcom had them all based on Games Workshop black bases, all my Donnybrook figures are based on MDF bases, so I took them all off and based them on 25mm MDF bases from Warbases.

I based a few figures up hexagon bases, these will be used as command or character figures.

I asked a question about basing Pirates 2 posts ago?

To base them up on land or ship.

Lots of people suggested clear bases, so they could be used for both land and sea, but In the end I chose land bases, but kept them pretty simple.

No tufts, only flock, and not a lot of it either, so now they match my other Donnybrook figures.

Donnybrook - Moroccan Musketmen 1664

I started painting these handsome looking fellows back in March during the Challenge, but 

didn't get around to finishing them in time to enter them. They were finished off

 early last month and featured as the only musket armed unit in the Moroccan army

 in my game at Broadside, "Teviot's Last Stand"

Trying to find any info about the Moroccan army in 1664 has proved........difficult to say the least!

So studying paintings of Moroccan and Moorish scenes, it seems they wore very similar clothing for hundreds of years. There are no Moroccan figures made in 25mm for the period, so i'm afraid these are pure guess work???

The figures are in fact Moroccans and Tuareg's from Artizan's March or Die, 

French Foreign Legion range.

I think they fit in quite well, from a limited knowledge point of view.

The only real problem with the figures, were the guns they all carry, as they're from 

roughly 200 years in the future, but a little filing and swearing soon

had them a little more musket like.....well for me anyway???
