I’m trying to get some experience using my Privateers and I thought I’d start out with some small games using Shae. I was playing a 15pt game against Khador on Tuesday and I thought it’d be a good opportunity to try out the following list – Captain Phinneus Shae Freebooter Press Gangers (Leader and 5 [...]

There’s a complete gallery below, but first up are the recently completed Thamarite Cultists – And Fiona the Black – Everybody – Owen

No, not a toy soldier, a Press Ganger! You know, one of those guys that supports Warmachine and Hordes in their local community… … should be fun. Owen

This turned out to be a bigger painting job than expected. Because I bought a few of the miniatures already (excellently) painted I had a standard to aim for. My painting has been getting better over time, but this project really pushed me. I’ve spent significantly longer on each miniature than I have with previous [...]

No, not the name of a terrible 1970′s soft rock band. Nope, this is the final Sea Dogs Crew unit for my Privateer army. I decided to paint them as Thamarite Cultists to complement Fiona the Black. They’re a work-in-progress, but are nearly finished. Anyway, here’s a quick video. I’ll probably pick up one or [...]

We’ve been treated to some Privateer treats with the previewing of the Shae and Fiona Tiers. Bell of Lost Souls have also previewed the Fiona the Black Tiers here. I haven’t painted Fiona yet, but I’ll have a look at this Tier too. I have a good few more Pirates to paint and painting them [...]

I’m trying not to get totally sidetracked by other projects, but in the last while terrain, Malifaux, Epic Armageddon and Flames of War have all distracted my from painting my Privateers. I’ve had a unit of Press Gangers and Dirty Meg on the go for a couple of months, but they kept getting bumped by [...]

I’ve been using the same flat battle boards for the last 5 years, so I decided recently that it was time to build a slightly more contoured board. I didn’t want it to be flat, but I also didn’t want the terrain to be so specific that I’d only be able to use it rarely. [...]

The good gentlemen (I might be using that term a little loosely!) at Lost Hemisphere have started a new podcast. Check out a blog post introducing it here. I enjoyed their first episode and look forward to many more. I’m a fan of The Iron Agenda and Focus and Fury podcasts. In my mind they [...]

Here is an update to the two player ANNIHILATION campaign system based on myself and Peter’s campaign – ANNIHILATION v1.1 Campaign Rules (PDF) Feedback and experience would be most appreciated. Owen
