Michiel de Ruyter is one of the most famous Dutch Admirals but sadly he isn't included in Blood & Plunder (so far). Dan Carlson recently wrote a fine Pirate Faction Summary for this very blog and as a thank you, I offered to paint up a mini for him and this was his choice. While … Continue reading Completed Dutch Commander – Michiel de Ruyter

Completed Sloop of War
One of the really cool things Firelock Games has done as a Company is release new rules and material that adds value to product that players already own. When Firelock basically doubled the depth of the game with the free New Factions & Units pdf, I knew there was a great group of people running … Continue reading Completed Sloop of War

I painted him to match a set … Continue reading Completed English Commander
