About the Project
I started a thread on the old Beasts of War that drew attention, well over a year ago, as I started to get into the game. I followed the initial Blood and Plunder week and watched the let's plays and was hooked. I wanted to try the game at a low cost. I made my own dice, got the book with a promotional code and downloaded what I could from the company's website. I wanted a highly converted army, made from my Warlord Games civil war minis I hadn't started building and a selection of third party suppliers. I have since bought some of the official minis as well. This is a journey through my cost cutting ideas, my conversions and paint jobs, the minis I chose and why, the fan boys that did not like my thriftiness and the contrasting support and friendship offered from hobbyists and historical enthusiasts from the same community.

Scatter bases
Just a spare base loaded with off cuts of metal to give it some weight. Some green stuff that had gone bad piled into two mounds and two holes fashioned in them. Then covered in sand and tufts added. Small amounts of Blue tac popped in the bottom of the holes makes it easy to keep the cheap palm trees in place and can be easily removed for ease of storage.
Cheap Terrain.
Poundland resin used to make a watering hole. Old freebie dvd as a base. Army Painter swamp tufts. Trees cheaply picked up from Wish. Trees can be lifted out for easy storage.
Wargames Foundry cannon team
Wargames Foundry cannon team sailor with carved planks on the base.
I picked up the cannon and team during a Wargames Foundry sale last year.
The guy with the cannon ball reminds me of Hoggle from Labyrinth probably because of his big nose and stubble.
I like the Wargames Foundry minis. They are a bit cartoony but I quite like it. I am looking forward to the OnTableTop updates from Firelock Games.
The last mini will be handy if and when i ever get a ship and want to use a swivel gun. Even before then i can use him as a sailor, especially hidden amongst a gun crew.
WG WoSS sprue, the sprue keeps on giving
Kitbash Pirate. ?
Made from WoSS Warlord Games body and pistol with Essex Miniatures metal musket and a Gripping Beast archer head.
The WoSS are a bit under weight compared to my Warlord Games kitbashes and the official minis, but they have made great unit fillers for my English militia and the occasional pirate like this.
Coffee stirrers planking on the base to give him a touch more height to fit in with other minis in my collection.
Milicianos with delusions of grandeur.
Spanish Milicianos.
I know the game is wysiwyg where possible, but I think one Firelock amongst a unit of matchlocks won’t hurt. If he survives his encounter it may well be down to his reliable and state of the art Firelock musket. Sadly I think my crappy dice rolling will be the end of him regardless of how he’s kitted out.
Warlord Games Pike and Shotte pikeman body with the Firelock storming party arms. I needed some Greenstuff to mask the join as it didn’t quite fit. Not a great job on the Greenstuff, but was able to make it look like a torn jacket shoulder.
Coffee stirrers planking to give the mini a bit more height to match in with the rest.
Another conversion. ?
WoSS Warlord Games minis are slightly more true scale than other ranges, but some of them make good converted English Caribbean militia and some of the officer bodies make good pirates.
The head is a Gripping Beast dark age archer head.

The pistol is from Essex Miniatures.
Forlorn hope addition.
This mini was made from Warlord Games plastics ECW range. The right hand is a cavalry arm. The left, I think, was from an infantry pike sprue as is the main body.
The musket and pistol in the right hand are from an Essex Miniatures spare metal weapons blister.
After assembly I realised that with no powder horn nor “the 12 apostles” (the wooden bottles of measured powder hung from their cross belt, bandolier style), how was he ever going to load these weapons. I found a Gripping Beast plastic Vikings pouch that just offers something to at least suspend disbelief.
Also as a Forlorn hope he would have abandoned most things that would slow him down as he makes his attack. Not sure where his sword has gone. ?
