Wicked! But I'm amazed the squig/fish/dog isn't called Rex, I s'pose it's not seaworthy enough.

It is... it's just spelt "Wrecks".

I also recently won a Playmobil rowing boat on eBay. I've added a deck and re-painted it:

Gods Dammit! I Had like 5 of those boats lying around but I sold them about 2 years before I got back into this hobby! Now I have to buy tons of other crap just to get one or two of those. They would go perfectly with my Goblin pirates.
I'm upset now.

But it looks butt-slapping awesome! As does the rest of your stuff here. Carry on the evil work

hmmm then.. if you were 27 back then, and not doing anything warhammer related... what WERE you doing with 5 of those boats?!

eBay is your friend Mr_Sinister! I bought this one for £2.

Ah, I see. It's just every time I see it I pronounce it (internally) 'wrecks'. Oh, I need a drink.

I've just spent a happy morning assembling Pirate Orcs using the Maxmini heads and (mostly) Black Reach Ork bodies (plus a load of Empire, Ogre, Dwarf and Chaos Marauder bitz).

Fronts:







Backs:

Cool! They look ready to kick some landlubber arse!

Warboss, once again you make me sad (I wish I had cool Pirate Orks) with your beautiful minis. Keep up the great work as you inspire us with it.

In a flash, amid swirling sickly colored smoke a decrepid Genie appears. YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND, Master Da Bank! [hint, hint!] SORRY FOR THE OFF TOPIC, Adm'rul Sir!

Well I... er.. hrm.. None of your damn business!!
No seriously, I had loads of playmobil crap lying around in my parents attic. And in a desperate need of cash I sold the whole lot (too cheap I think now in retrospect).
You always get the good ideas when it's too late.
I can probably get some new ones on ebay, problem is that I'll probably get a crap-load of other useless stuff along with 'em.
It's hard sometimes being a nerd

A minor distraction from painting the Maxmini-head pirates...
A sort-of commission for Da Bank...







And a question - cudgel or hook-hand?

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGH! VERY COOL & PIRATEY. I LOVE the braids!
I vote for the cudgel...I'm a cudgel kinda Guy.

AWESOME! I have seen those heads too and they work out really well for the situation. I also, am a cudgel guy. Nuffin sayz luvin like a cudgel to da head.

Yarr, da hook iz da best!

Knoggin knocker fo sho!

Beatin' stick!

With a couple of notches on it for sure.

I am looking at those - AGAIN!! And they ARE sooooo COOL... I want some myself :O Wonder if I could make a greenstuff pirate hat

Pirate Orc number 2 for Da Bank:
Kaptain Zogurty SandBank







And a size-comparison:



He's made from a Black Reach Nob, with a Black Orc sword-hand and a Marauder-banner Hook Hand.

VERY CLEVER, Adm'rul! You managed to include both the cudgel [YES!] & the hook [HOW cliche ]. WELL DONE!
Could the Good Captain be a sign of YET ANOTHER WONDERFUL Crew in the offing? If so,...OH BABY! *dances around the PC*
Ain't in GREAT how interchangeable Orc & Orks are? GW DOES have some redeemable qualities afterall....not many, but some.

Yeah, I went with the billy-club so I could use the hook on the big fella!

Sorry Alan, these two are destined to set sail for [insert where ever Da Bank lives!] and not become a permanent part of the Ironfang Fleet.
I'll make sure they get to pose for some souvenir photos with the Boyz in Vercuso before they leave though.

Warboss

They look great!

Well, indirectly, it IS the start of ANOTHER WONDERFUL Crew...the Fiends of Fort Myers....I HATE wasting a good dance.
