The Heldenhammer

The ship of captain Roth himself! Much happier with this one. I really like the red, which was much simpler than the way I usually paint red. I'm tempted, if I'm not sick of ships by the time this is all done, to repainted my Battlefleet Gothic stuff in this colour

Incase you haven't noticed, I've denied myself the pleasure of painting my favourite ships first (the Swordfysh and the Skarbrus). Instead, I'm working strictly through what I'll need for each scenarion, in order.

For scenario 1, Corpse Reef, I need...

The Heldenhammer
The Bloody Reaver
The sea monsters
One Cog each (not useful in the scenario, unless you get a Powder ship)
The ruler
The turning markers
The Wind marker
The islands and shipwrecks

More soon

The Bloody Reaver

Not entirely happy with how it came out, but it'll do. I wanted to use more purple than the painting guide, even though it's meant to be a mish-mash of wrecked ships, I still wanted it to be identifiable from the other side of the ocean. I found the embossed sail details difficult to get right, but towards the end I was starting to get it, so hopefully the next ship will be better.

Dreadfleet

Yarrrgh!

It's Pirate time! I bought myself Dreadfleet as a treat.

The quality of the stuff in this game is incredible. I'm not going to be painting them to a display standard, however. It's a standalone game, for playing games with. So I'm going to paint it to a decent gaming standard.

Poor neglected blog...

...I've been updating forums as opposed to this blog, so here's a summary of pics

Also, there's a battle report, which is Here
