Depending on the species of albatross, a 'normal sized' one can still have a wingspan of twelve feet. No reason why we couldn't have it on a regular sized base, but if we want to go with the largest example of a normal albatross, it may be more viable to put it on a larger base just to avoid...

Alright, I'm one day late. Apologies, and yesterday was a parent's birthday party, so busy busy making preparations. [hr] Quoting the most detailed description of this unit from the Special Units thread. I'm seeing it as something along the lines of a Terror-causing, single-model flyer...

I believe we've discussed two flying units - a swarm of Dreadgulls (core choice), and an Albatross with an aura of malignancy that negatively impacts those that come too close (special choice) - that have much higher maneuverability.

The idea behind Heave, Ho! is that it's just an empty boat being brought along, and those charging the rear have to either destroy it or deal with it as an obstacle in order to fight the rear rank. Just clarifying on my logic. ^_^

This is a poll to see the general consensus on whether or not Skeletons have a place in the Zombie Pirates list. Once you have placed your vote, or if you are uncertain about your position on the issue, please discuss it below.

Wrecks have been given their own thread. Please keep any further discussion of this unit type there. Skeletons have been suggested several times now, and while I personally still feel they should be excluded in favor of zombies, I'm beginning to wonder if I may be in a minority on the matter.

As per the previously announced schedule, I am opening a thread for the discussion of a new unit type: Wrecks. Wrecks have been left to the side for some time now, so I thought I'd bring them back to the fore. To summarize what has been previously discussed: Wrecks are landing craft, and are...

I considered suggesting this myself, and opted not to suggest including them as an upgrade option. I feel that our Zombie Pirates core units already have plenty of upgrade options; personally, I'd like to see the Bloated Corpses come into their own as a separate selection. Puncture the Core...

Updates as of June 21, 2010: [hr] Both Bloated Corpses and the Siren have now been given their own thread for discussion. General consensus appears to have been that the Siren should act more as a moving bound spell than as a banshee, and this is still open for debate. Over the next few weeks...

The existing ones force a toughness test or lose a wound with no armor saves allowed, in addition to coming with poisoned attacks to begin with. I like the idea, and if we wanted to make it have a blanket effectiveness, why not have each struck model roll a d6 and take a wound on a 1? The flame...

Hmm... Going on that idea, Uga, why not a flamer template forward as the bloated corpse 'ruptures'? Though, that may make them a little too cost effective against single wound infantry. Personally, I'm picturing them on monster-sized bases, operating as skirmishers, with the template aimed...

Bloated Corpses have been given their own thread. Please keep all future discussion of them there.

For the discussion of Bloated Corpses as a core choice. Under the original rules, Bloated Corpses were single models that exploded on death, had poisoned attacks, and came at what I feel to be a relatively cheap cost. How do we want to see them employed? Exactly as previously printed? Some...

Given that I'm technically only the backup, filling in for the original Project Leader while they are unavailable, I don't think your suggestion is usurping anyone. The changes you suggest, though, are definitely above my pay grade - I'm technically not even a mod; I've just been given mod...

I'm going back to try to finish my Impossible difficulty playthrough of Dead Space, to get the last trophy standing between me and the 100% completion one. And, since Dead Space makes me jumpier than a monkey with a nervous tick pumped full of Red Bull in one of those haunted houses where stuff...
