Is there any aquatic-related Mordheim or Frostgrave warband?

Outstanding work, Sharkbelly! These models are amazing! :::cheers:::

What's Barnacle Bill's story, though? Messed with the wrong type of magic or just had some strange parentage? :-P

Oh, I love creating fluff. What's the general idea behind your merry(-time) band? Light hearted and adventurous or more serious?

Probably more serious. Guardians of the Deep sort of thing.

I really like the turtle man.  His front plastron turned out looking great!

Thanks! I based in on the method I used for the old 5th edition lizardmen a LONG time ago.

Over the summer I picked up some spear tips. I'll be working on redoing a bunch of my spearmen (ship's crew armed with boarding pikes) over the next few weeks. Here's the test model:

Ooh, those spearmen are going to look so cool.

Anyway, I guess I'm suffering from writer's block as I couldn't think of anything for Barnacle Bill's story except the cliched cursed treasure angle. So to make up for that (and try to get my drawing inspiration back) I sketched out his origin.



"Captain Bill did not find his fortune on the mouldy decks of that sunken cursed ship. His crewmen turned into scuttling crabs and him only narrowly avoiding the same fate, Captain Bill seeks revenge on the mutinous dog that sent him on that doomed venture..."

(Sorry if not my best work, still recovering from a back injury so had to draw lying down. :-P)

Hey, that's great. Do you draw for a living or as a hobby?

Here is the rest of the unit with the new spear tips:

Just a hobby of mine.

Those sea dogs look as impressive as I knew they were going to be. Really look ready for a fight. (And a swig of rum afterwards :wink: )

Had a bit of a double take with the soldier behind the drummer, looked like he was wearing a skull mask. :-P

Those spears look great! The militia kit was one of the best things GW ever did.

Also more Baron artwork! Woo!

Agreed! I remember when it came out, and I realized I could have as many of the militia guys from Mordheim as I wanted. Good stuff!

I just put the finishing touches on a small unit of harpies to round out my dark elf corsairs.



Here are the corsairs and their fearless leader.



A close-up of Lokhir Fellheart and the Sorceress.



Some River trolls that the dark elves goad into battle.



The Kharibdyss (one of the handlers did not come on this trip).



And a group shot.
