Battle Report: Sea Plunder – Brethren of the Coast vs Dutch Navy

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
