I got to help run another Blood & Plunder demonstration at a local game store! My club hosted a demo day in my home town of Oregon City back in November and we made some contacts that opened up an opportunity to run this demo at Next Level Gaming, a brand new store in Salem, … Continue reading Demo Day at Next Level Gaming, Salem, Oregon
African Warriors – A Painting Guide
The African Warrior is a strong native unit that pops up as a support unit in several European and native factions and forms the core of the Black Caribs faction (which functions like a Native faction). These are nice models that have a real presence on the board and they're fun to paint. My challenge … Continue reading African Warriors – A Painting Guide
Completed European Sailor Musketeers
I finished my first unit of European Sailor Musketeers! I don't think I'll be using this type of model a whole lot in my games, but it can be nice to equip a unit of Sea Dogs or European Sailors with muskets for some more ranged firepower. These models are pretty easy to paint up. … Continue reading Completed European Sailor Musketeers

Force RulesYou can tell it's going to be a fairly strong faction … Continue reading Armada de Barlovento – A Faction Breakdown
Completed Spanish Commander – Zárate
I've been playing the 20 point commander Andres de Ochoa y Zarate recently and I decided I should paint up a commander as an older "Feeble" captain. Zarate is a really interesting commander in the game. With 3 command points and some really good abilities, he's well under-costed at 20 points but he can unexpectedly … Continue reading Completed Spanish Commander – Zárate
Completed Lanceros
I just finished my fourth batch of Lanceros. After playing a good bit of Guarda Costas and Armada de Barlovento, I'm pretty excited about the Piqueros Marineros so I decided to finish up a set of 4 that I started at least a month back. I worked a good bit of blue into these minis … Continue reading Completed Lanceros
