Undead Pirates

[Sharkbelly]

I finally finished painting up these lads. They count as the Cursed Company in my pirate army.

I used a space-filler in the unit, which also helped make the captain fit. The new skellies are all leaning forward, while the vamp model stands straight up.

Finally, I thought the other Sartosan pirate model they released made a good ghast for my unit of ghouls.

 

[The Dark Sheep]

In the name of awsomeness... those pirates are too good. Now I feel like doing that zombie pirate army I've wanted for so long. It could be cool if the captain was standing just behind the treasure chest... and did I say that the skellie to the right on pic nr 4 is the best in your army... great hat :grin:.

 

[The Dark Lord Mr Fluffy]

Very nice! Why not go the full way and make zombie pirates? I did! Now half of my zombies are in fancy dress for most battles. Beautifully random for normal skellys/wights/spirits :lol:

 

[Ramesesis the Slayer]

Hmmm... How about a Lahmian pirate?
With some khemrian/arabyan pirates around. I once had an awesome Lahmian pirate character at Rezephua. She was the closest I ever got to win an AoD over there... but the she lost too... too... Damn, the Chillis humourus sidekick!!!

I was so damn ashamed that I had her leave Rezephua, despite people telling me to keep her cause she was so cool etc... But I just could not avoid that battle and keep on RP:ing her regardless. Did not work for me to just pick and choose what AoD:s and events to act against and whatnot.
To me, it is either or, you do not go about picking and choosing. Damn, I just wish more people where more strict sometimes. But she was awsome...

Maybe she would make a good Lady...

Very nice Skeleton Pirates, I really like their dotted bandannas.

 

[The Brotherhood of Necros]

Very characterful!

Thanks for the feedback, gents. Over the last few months, I've added a few more units. First, I touched up some older models that had been on the shelf a while:

Bat Swarms

Dire Wolves

Three Fenbeasts

Fell Bats

Vampire Aristocrat

Then, I found a Mordheim Necromancer and painted him up for the force.

That brings the army up to around 1200 points. I'm working on a giant undead crab to use as a Varghulf.

 

[Vulf von Carstein]

Looking good! What will those Fen Beasties represent?

 

[The Dark Sheep]

Crab... I do like the sound of that.

 

[TheAdmiral]

Looking good! What will those Fen Beasties represent?

I'm guessing they will represent Fenbeasts..

Mr Sharkbelly, those are some seriously ace Dead Pirates. Nice and colourful too, a nice contrast with my own Undead Pirates, who are all grimy and dark-ish. Real good painting too.

 

[cripple]

Looking good. I like what you did with the old dark shadows minis. Overall a very nice job.

 

[Sharkbelly]

I was planning on using them as fenbeasts, if they get used much.

I finished the giant undead crab (Varghulf).

 

[cripple]

Heh. Always nice to see a tomb kings model corrupted for the purposes of Nagash. I myself have converted black knights from tomb kings horsemen.

 

[Vulf von Carstein]

Ah, see i was not aware that fenbeasts were a unit

 

[curryoflife]

Very nice crab there, though I wonder how it would look without a tail. (I'm just being picky when I say crabs don't have tails) But I do like what you've done with the whole pirate theme. The Sartosan models are nice, though my favorite is the Sartosan Vampire.

 

[Arion]

If youre wondering, just put your hand over the tail... bang its gone! And now the model looks slightly unbalanced, the claws would be too big.

 

[Sharkbelly]

Crabs don't have tails? Then maybe it's a lobster...

 

[The Dark Sheep]

I like the sound of that... LobsterVarghulf...

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

I don't know........I put my hand over the tail and I think it looked pretty cool, a giant mutated undead crab. I say remove the tail!

 

[Cromenon]

Crab-Varghulf! what an interesting, refreshing idea!!

I'm with DoN, remove the tail! or make a new, shorter one with greenstuff (BTW, crabs do have tail, but it is shortish...)

 

[Sharkbelly]

Thanks for the feedback, all. This army sat on the shelf for a while, but has been resurrected for 8th edition. (Pun intended) I am now working on it/playing it in my club's campaign.

I did crop the tail of the crab, and am working on my ethereal units. I am adding 5 spirit hosts, a banshee, and three wraiths. I'll get pictures up as soon as I can.

 

[Swissdictator]

I could be wrong, but a lot of tournaments might not allow the Fenbeasts. Casual games is another story.

Though you could always have them represent spirit hosts or Ogre mercenaries.

 

[Sharkbelly]

Yeah, the fenbeasts are pretty much out in this edition. Ogre mercenaries are too. I like the idea of using them as hosts, though.

 

[Sharkbelly]

Here is a pic of the new crab:

I also added some ethereal units. First, a "banshee" and wraiths:

Next, some spirit hosts:
