Ex-Warhammer staff QUIT to make a Pirate Game!!! - Cutlass! | Lizard Looks

Max might feel weird about asking you to join his patreon but I don’t. So I’ve got only one thing to say to you… Join us! Join us! Join us! Join us! Join us! Join us! Join us! Join us!

@@AspiringPoltergeist thank you brother 🤘❤️

[@alfakillr]

Hey Max. Just wanted to say thanks for the hand written note with my order, really cheered me up that day 😁

[@LizardofDoom]

You're more than welcome! Thank you for putting in an order and helping to support the channel!

[@rodneyr5266]

Yeah, that NMM kit seems to work pretty well. Definitely do a review and little tutorial

[@Galenus66]

Keep an eye on Firelock Games' upcoming Port Royale. This is the RPG "platoon" skirmish version of their established squad-level skirmish Blood and Plunder title.

[@davidwalker1130]

I just love these paint jobs. Black Scorpion miniatures are just great.

[@Spark_Chaser]

Frostgrave: Ghost Archipelago is a Pirate game from Osprey Games may be a fit for you. The system is "minis agnostic" (though any game is minis agnostic if you want it to be), it uses a D20 standard across all rolls, supports a crew of ten models usually, and the Captains have fun powers. Also has fun interactions on the board with possible random critters that could turn a game in interesting ways.

[@LizardofDoom]

That sounds like a good system I’ll take a look 🙂

[@Bakroth85]

Feels like they would work as a Cities of Sigmar stand-in. There was that recent team for Callis and Toll which could work!

[@LizardofDoom]

Aye i've been looking at CoS maybe, there's even a subfaction called misthaven which suits.

[@d-emprahexpects]

YAR! Make an Empire army for Old World using exclusively non-Citadel miniatures and let it be pirate themed!

[@billfromwork7203]

Cool minis and some good tips, thanks! First minis i ever bought years ago were the Black Scorpin dark elf blood bowl team.

[@jeffwiese4037]

There's a pirate game called Blood and Thunder I believe, you might be able to use these there.

[@LizardofDoom]

I will have a little look! 🤘

[@tuskarthetauren]

😀 It‘s Falles Blood and Plunder I believe.

[@chrisgoddard7981]

Would love to see that NMM kit in action. 🤘

[@THEmrPidge]

I haven’t played it myself but I hear ghost archipelago is good. You could also use them for something that’s more of a skirmish level RPG like frostgrave

[@myworthlessopinion3181]

I was going to recommend Ghost Archipelago as well

[@LizardofDoom]

is ghost archipelago a frostgrave thing?

[@myworthlessopinion3181]

@@LizardofDoom Basically the same thing with a few minor differences, in a very "Pirates of the Caribbean" vibe

[@bearnecessities9568]

Whoooooooo painted some Minis for us to all see? Le Sponge Doom Square Pants!

[@DJRockford83]

Ghost archipelago expansion for frostgrave immediately sprang to mind when you were on about alternatives for your pirate miniatures

[@LizardofDoom]

It’s kind of perfect for it

[@FirstLegion123]

Hi Max, I enjoy your weekly uploads, haven't missed an episode in months. I would definitely like to see that NMM kit in action!

[@LizardofDoom]

@@FirstLegion123 thank you mate! There seems to be a call for it so I’ll have to make that video soon 🙂

[@GrommtheOrc]

If you'd gone with undead I'd be screaming from the mountaintops to make an Undead Vampire army for old world based on those in Total War Warhammer and the old-AF White Dwarf that inspired me as a kid. Rag's suggestion is real sound, too.

[@LizardofDoom]

The undead would make a pretty cool vamp counts army !

[@KnightsOfDice]

Beautiful paint jobs. Black Scorpion have amazing ranges, a good majority of my wild west figures are from them.

[@LizardofDoom]

Thank you mate! Yeah they do some lovely sculpts :)

[@rolfbernhardblom7199]

Hey Max. You wanted to test this team of pirates in another game. How about using them as mercenaries in Warmachine/Hordes? Also a really good paint job on the minis

[@LizardofDoom]

@@rolfbernhardblom7199 thank you mate 🙂 I’ve been aware of war machine/hordes but never looked in to it thoroughly, I shall have a gander!

[@ryanglessner8626]

Sword Weirdos is worth a look. The makers of Blood and Plunder just finished a KS for a skirmish version called Port Royal.

[@LizardofDoom]

@@ryanglessner8626 I will have a look 🙂

[@maxspooky8991]

A full video on the Vallejo nmm kit would be fantastic

[@LizardofDoom]

I'll have a little look at what i can do :)

[@Buggritt]

Yar, hoist the gangplank and splice the mainbrace!! Would love a tutorial and review on that NMM kit if you find time :)

[@LizardofDoom]

Oil the rigging and scrub the mast! I've ordered more pirates so I think I'll make a whole video recreating the lost footage from this one :)

[@Buggritt]

@@LizardofDoom that's going to be fething incredible

[@bio-boosted]

Very cool, i would be interested in a nmm video for silver & golds.

[@cerisekappes580]

I’m in love with the minis you painted!! Awesome pirates!🏴‍☠️ 😊

[@LizardofDoom]

Thank you, I'm glad you like them, I put a lot in to these :)

[@cerisekappes580]

@@LizardofDoom you are welcome 🤗 They look amazing 🤩

[@TikitheHutt]

"Shut up and take my doubloons!"

[@arianash7763]

they look bloody amazing Max! shame the game wasn't fun, but I can see why you'd still want to buy more of the minis. and yeah I think doing a video going through the NMM kit is probably a good shout

[@LizardofDoom]

Thank you mate, if I expand the force or not may or may not be related to the vote I put on Patreon the other day 👀😂 I’ll also be giving the NMM kit a video there seems to be call for it 🙂

[@piotrjeske4599]

That good old ol' warhams feel.

[@chrisbatchelor3759]

Age of Fantasy Skirmish, even if there's no existing army list that quite matches what you want you can always use the army builder to make your own instead!

[@LizardofDoom]

That's a really good call :)

[@minipaintermatt]

Gutted I missed them at the expo. Was working nightshift the Friday night so could only stay for a few hours unfortunately

[@LizardofDoom]

It was the smallest stall with two little cases I would of missed them if I wasn't on a mission to see every miniatures vendor there.

[@user-oy7fb4sl6j]

I would love to see a tutorial on the NMM kit, I keep looking at it but don't feel brave enough to try it. Keep doing the videos I really enjoy them.

[@LizardofDoom]

@@user-oy7fb4sl6j there seems to be enough call for it so I’ll be putting a video out in the next couple of months on it when I get through a few bits I need to get out. And thank you! 🤘❤️

[@Oluabayo]

NMM looked fantastic, would love to see a video on that kit pls:)

[@LizardofDoom]

will be getting one out with in the next month or two :)

[@rag9993]

Use them as “ Long Drong Slayers” for a Dogs of War army in the old world🤔

[@LizardofDoom]

That's not a bad shout, very fitting!

[@chrishyde763]

See if you can track down a copy of Legends of the High Seas. It uses the same engine as MESBG (Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game).

[@LizardofDoom]

That's a really good recommendation thank you I had no idea it existed!

[@chrishyde763]

@@LizardofDoom FYI, there aren't any rules for Dwarfs in there, but they should be easy to tweak using MESBG as a guide.

[@Certawin]

Always have a bit of fun. And make ship terrain to display them. In a nice diorama.

[@LizardofDoom]

A ship may be on the horizon matey!

[@Certawin]

@@LizardofDoom Would it be fun now that I think of it. If you make various types of ships. Try to figure out rules. And have ship skirmish battles.

[@200Rats_in_a_Trench_Coat]

There's always the Warhammer Fantasy Pirates of Sartosa, those I suppose that doesn't help with figuring out how to run them.

[@Dack24]

Really nice sculpts!

[@Indianabog]

These look like theyd go hard beside Blood and Plunder minia and the boats 👀

[@Grrwobert]

Use them in Frostgrave maybe? Perfect squad already! 😊

[@LizardofDoom]

A friend suggested this and I think I’ll give it a try 🙂

[@Triceratopping]

These seadogs would be perfect for OPR Age of Fantasy Skirmish!

[@LizardofDoom]

I will definitely be having a look at OPR :)

[@LostHavenGames]

Mordheim Warband!!! Or an Empire Army for Old World if you can wrangle enough of them.

[@Jkbawlings]

I don’t know how kit bash friendly the models are, but a cyborg crew of rouge mechanicus void shippers would really pop my fizz.

[@LizardofDoom]

Aye that would be pretty cool!

[@stevensmith909]

They would work well for frost grave

[@brennonr]

These are great minis! you could use these to play Age of Fantasy: Skirmish, Human Empire from one page rules

[@LizardofDoom]

Good shout! 🙂

[@jojan292]

Yarrr matey, another fine video!

[@LizardofDoom]

Yaarrrr much obliged laddie!

[@earnestwanderer2471]

Has to be some Warcry bands that these models would fit.

[@LizardofDoom]

Arkanauts is what I'm thinking

[@Chayat0freak]

sounds a little like burrows and badgers, only when you roll the highest value ( so a 4 on a d4 for 'esample) you add 7 to the value, so everyone has a chance to wound. As for games to play, they look mordhiem enough to me. Some cursed atoll somewhere riddled with wyrdstone craters would be a perfect setting for some moist mordhiem

[@LizardofDoom]

That sounds like a better way to do it. Mordhiem is a good suggestion!

[@vigilantice]

Yes please on the nmm kit video!

[@LizardofDoom]

🫡

[@pieterschillemans5960]

No wonder this took 2 weeks to get out, you had to watch all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies! Also, I never knew that I could just put two wet paints on something, and smush them together, if I wanted 2 wet paints to smush together.... The more you know! ;)

[@LizardofDoom]

I take my research very seriously 😂 You're welcome! Warhammer+ are pay walling for this kind of knowledge!

[@GhostMkrMiniatures]

Convert them using futuristic parts and use them in Kill Team!

[@LizardofDoom]

They'd make a bad ass kill team with a few bionic parts and las pistols.

[@CptMonstruoso]

Mordheim has at least one pirate warband!

[@pauls3585]

Blood and Plunder game

[@dedrite4781]

Mordheim Max. All day. That would be my choice.

[@matsmith3482]

Why are pirates called pirates? Because they Arrrrr!

[@Storehouse-805]

Use them in OPR! It's the perfect game for your pirates!

[@LizardofDoom]

That's what I was thinking :)

[@twisteraustralus]

I'd use these for D&D. I don't know if you are into that but they are perfect for a pirate setting, campaign.

[@LizardofDoom]

@@twisteraustralus I am indeed in to D&D and we have a campaign that’s been going for two years, we’re also going to get on a boat very soon….

[@twisteraustralus]

@@LizardofDoom it’s clearly fated. You’ve got a crew or possibly some enemies!

The western figs would be great for Deadlands. The Pirate figs would be great for Mordheim.

[@LizardofDoom]

They'd fit that perfectly!

[@nastybadger]

They would be amazing for Mordheim. Awesome game, well balanced and still has a massive community. Might get some for that myself. Great video.

Y'arr MATEY - but also definitely feels like they could be a Mordheim group

[@LizardofDoom]

Mordeim is a good suggestion matey!

[@adamrobson9173]

I think exploring other games is a great idea and I'm sure there will be something else to use the pirates for. There is another option as you have started your own terrain company, why not come up with your own miniature agnostic game?

[@LizardofDoom]

I have been working on a setting for that but I’ve got some more terrain I want to get out there first 🙂

[@justinchristopher8974]

Isn't there a pirate game called blood and plunder

It's a fun idea for a game but poorly balanced. Warhammer is more fun for sure.

[@babalusch]

Try Sword Weirdos!

[@LizardofDoom]

Didn't understand to start with, thought you were calling me a weirdo and telling me to use try swords? But now I understand. 😂 I'll have a look!

[@maskedaxe]

If turning these into a warhammer army I would love to see you turn a frigate from the kharadron overlords army into this crews main ship. This would be sick to see.

[@LizardofDoom]

I have a plan and it may look something like this

[@shibaanimagaming4433]

Can’t you change the part of the game you don’t like so it is more fair? Just an idea 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@LizardofDoom]

@@shibaanimagaming4433 unfortunately it’s the whole dice mechanic, dwarves are tougher so they role D8s to defend, some humans only have a D4 to attack. So there’s a 50/50 chance that even on your best roll, it just doesn’t matter. If you make them all roll the same dice there’s nothing to make the dwarves dwarfy. I have a plan for the pirates though, I liked the minis so much I bought more 😊
