Firelock Games have now hoisted the mainsail and set out onto the high seas as the Kickstarter for Blood & Plunder: Raise The Black has gone live!

Check Out Blood & Plunder: Raise The Black On Kickstarter

The universe of Blood & Plunder is moving into the 18th Century with this new addition to the range. As well as taking these sea-worthy miniatures into a new era of historical pirate adventure you'll also find that you're able to get started in the game with a new all-plastic Starter Set featuring the deadly pirate Blackbeard and his clash against the Royal Navy and Lieutenant Robert Maynard.

Inside the set, you'll find everything that you'll need in order to dive into the excellent 28mm Blood & Plunder game. As well as all of the accessories, bits and bobs you'll get the new plastic Sailor miniatures which you'll be using to build your crews plus the two main characters of the piece, the aforementioned Blackbeard and Maynard. You also get two freckin' amazing looking plastic ships. Both are Sloops but crafted in the configurations of the Balandra and Bermuda.

Blood & Plunder: Raise The Black Pledge Levels

The Captain Pledge gets you access to the new Starter Set but you've also got a lot of other options to consider when diving into this project. You can go with something less expensive or more expensive based on how deep you want to dive into Blood & Plunder.

For those of you who are already invested in Blood & Plunder the new books and unit boxes are pretty key as they help you expand your existing collection with a few extra options. Settling in as a Press-Ganger allows you to mix and match as you see fit if you'd rather wait and see when it comes to the campaign too.

Blood & Plunder: Raise The Black Add-Ons

As well as the options above you've also got these Add-Ons which might be key for those who go in at that Press-Ganger level. This gives you the new Softcover Rulebook, Raise The Black expansion and a whole selection of different options too.

Again, this seems like a great way to dive in and pick up some additional options for the game if you've already invested in Blood & Plunder. I do have to say though that the new 28mm plastic miniatures are looking fantastic and it is very hard to manoeuvre around the new Blood & Plunder Two-Player Starter Set which seems like a superb entry point plus a way to build your crews up.

Stretch Goals and more are on the way so it would be a good idea to bookmark the Kickstarter Page and make sure that you keep an eye on their updates as the campaign continues. There should be a lot of new characters and such making their way to the fore of the ship during this Kickstarter.
