Building 24 Unique Blood & Plunder Sailors
The new Blood & Plunder multi part miniatures are great. The instructions for some of the kits can be a tiny bit frustrating. They work, but they don't fulfill my wildest dreams for miniature instructions. In this article, we are going to give specific parts lists and photos of 24 unique Blood & Plunder miniatures … Continue reading Building 24 Unique Blood & Plunder Sailors

Completed Zeelieden
I just finished up another set of Dutch Zeelieden. I don't have a full Dutch faction painted yet but these sailors are some of the best in the game and they can be used in so many seagoing factions. I haven't done a lot of painting over the last month but I did manage to … Continue reading Completed Zeelieden
Completed Zeelieden
I just finished up another set of Zeelieden. This isn't a tutorial this time, but merely an excuse to share pictures of minis that I'm proud of. Painting the second set is always more of a challenge for me after copying the Firelock paint schemes for the first set. I have to make decisions on … Continue reading Completed Zeelieden
Zeelieden – A Painting Guide
I'm slowly getting to my Dutch models! The Zeelieden are some of the best sailors/artillery crew in the game and I'm eager to get some painted up so I can use them in my unaligned forces and play some Dutch Privateers and Dutch Navy factions as well. With Expert Artillery Crew, Expert Sailors, the hardiness … Continue reading Zeelieden – 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
Spanish Armada de Barlovento – A Faction Breakdown
The Armada de Barlovento has many similarities to the Spanish Guarda Costas but overall it's a more well-trained and hard-hitting faction. Adding Soldados as core units and moving Marineros Piqueros into the core column really changes the flavor of this Spanish naval faction. Force Rules You can tell it's going to be a fairly strong … Continue reading Spanish Armada de Barlovento – A Faction Breakdown
Battle Report – Dutch Navy vs Armada de Barlovento
My friend Bryan and I have been trying to dig into the new factions from No Peace Beyond the Line and we both got to try some new lists in this 350 point naval game. This turned into a fast, bloody and brutal game that only lasted a couple rounds! Summary Joseph F vs Bryan … Continue reading Battle Report – Dutch Navy vs Armada de Barlovento
Spanish Guarda Costas – A Faction Breakdown
The Guarda Costas was the original seagoing Spanish faction when the game was released and while there are some other solid choices for taking Spain out on the waves, the Guarda Costas has some unique advantages. Faction Rules I was surprised to see the Guarda Costas has the +2 on the roll to determine attacker … Continue reading Spanish Guarda Costas – A Faction Breakdown
Sea Dogs – A Painting Guide
I'll be using an entirely different approach in this guide with an aim of producing good quality results in less time by utilizing a "quickshade" product. The finished minis won't be as vibrant as my previous tutorials but they should take about half the time and considerably less colors of paint. Our process here will … Continue reading Sea Dogs – A Painting Guide
Marineros – A Painting Guide
These Spanish Sailors make up the backbone of most Spanish naval forces and if you play many games at sea as the Spanish, you'll probably find yourself painting a lot of these minis. I'll be painting this set of minis fairly close to the paint scheme shown in the rulebook, but I'll provide some alternate … Continue reading Marineros – A Painting Guide
