NO LUNCHEIM! Say it ain't so, W.K.!
I hope things work out for a continuation of your game. Things around here wouldn't be the same without your reports.

Sorry Alan - I know it's a blow
If I can organise a new campaign soon I certainly will do so!

Love the new additions!

Thanks Pervavita - more on the way! These few have spurred me into doing another band of Pirate Orcs. Kaptin Bilgewater and the Cleavermaws - Badlands Buccaneers.

Looks really fun to play! I like the stylization of the paintwork, too.

More crew of the Cleavermaw come ashore! These Boyz are older Pirate Orcs that I have added greenstuff headgear.



Kedger Krum









Zogger Slush









Rowlock Duff










Jemmy Squigs







Coming next: Kaptin Bilgewater and Jonah Wail the Shaman.

It seems that no matter how many new Pirates are added they always come off as fresh & new...GREAT additions! I love the Squig Parrot. VERY WELL DONE!

Very nice as always. How many pirate orcs do you have in total now? It must be a lot!

There's a squig parrot bit?

Wonderful to see more of the crew, even if they are just re-assigned and refurbished.

Thanks guys!

Yes, quite a lot...
About 150 Infantry plus artillery, monsters, ship, scenery and random stuff.

Not as such - I greenstuffed a squig-face onto the chest of a Bretonnian hawk after beheading it!

Introducing...

Kaptin Bilgewater - Badlands Buccaneer and captain of the Cleavermaw, Orc Pirate Hulk.

(That's the Finecast resin head of 40K Ork character Kaptin Baddruk, with a greenstuff beard added, on an Ork Nob body with a Black Orc right hand spliced onto a Nob upper-arm).









Deadwood - First Mate of the Cleavermaw, bully and coward

And.... Painted:

Kaptin Bilgewater - Badlands Buccaneer and captain of the Cleavermaw, Orc Pirate Hulk.









Shaman Jonah Wail - Quartermater of the Cleavermaw.
I built this scurvy dog ages ago and he has only just acquired paint!

Nice! With all the bits included from here and there I'm guessing your bit box is rather large

Both painted & in the works, the Lads look WONDERFUL! The Kaptin & Shaman reached your usual high standard of brushwork & basing. I love Deadwood's hat; PLUS description almost match Snidely Whiplash's from the Dudley Doright cartoons: "unhand that Maiden, Snidely Whiplash...you coward, bully, cad, & thief;" funny I can remember lines from old cartoons, but I can't seem to remember where I left my glasses. VERY WELL DONE!

Beeehootifull! Right sharp bunch of officers there.

Couldna happened to a better bird. Excellent work.

Very nice. What will you do with the rest of the finecast captain?

Thanks guys!

This! (for my 40k Orks)

There are more Piratical goodies on the way... something BIG is coming.

Here it is: The IronLobba!







An Ogre Ironblaster Cannon, on a gun-carriage made mostly from a Skaven Lightning Cannon, with parts of the Ironblaster cart and the Screaming Bell and a few other odds and ends thrown in as well.

Nice, can't wait to see it all painted up!

The canon looks really good Nice touch with the treasure chest on the back

That is a GREAT example of kit-bashing at it's finest/most imaginative. TERRIFIC WORK!
Is The Gun meant to be a self propelled piece?

Thank'ee mates. Thank'ee!

No, it's just a huffing big deck gun. There will be some Goblin gun-crew to heave it about.

Another (yet to be named) crew member for the Cleavermaw:

I love the character of the model holding the lantern and his hat. Very creative. I am so impressed with the poses you manage to achieve with the orc and ork kits.

The giant gun is very impressive. Impressive collection of bits used for it!

Thanks Narcissus!

More Cleavermaws!

Deadwood - First Mate of the Cleavermaw, bully and coward









Oiler Tunn - Night-watch-Boy

AAAARRRGGH! The new Lads look ship shape. If you don't mind a small critique, I think Deadwood would benefit from a brighter hat band; & you missed the metal on Oiler's chest buckles. Otherwise they're up to your usual GREAT WORK!

Does the new crew of the Cleavermaw mean there's a new ship in the works?
