A Short Plank for a Scurvy Crew - More Squat Pirates

Another small group of Captain Grugari's Dreadstorm Privateers have made it off the WIP to bring the piratical crew up to a respectable six in number!



These dastardly space pirates are as terrifying  in reputation as their fashion choices!
The trio comprise another pair of actual squat pirates, with a squat adventurer who is also rocking the pirate look, complete with eye-patch and bandana.


Quartermaster Dvarn is probably the most squatty squat ever. He has an axe-rifle, biker helmet, pierced nose AND a full body beard tucked into his ammo belt! His left arm is part of the original sculpt - I just added the knife hand and sculpted the right arm.

Gunner Gunnerson has a fabulous set of shades to go with his nonchalant cigar. And a peg leg. And a braid down the length of his back. He also probably waxes his moustaches. The arms and heavy bolters are from Uscarl Miniatures space dwarves.

Finally it's Orlaf, a human crewman. Orlaf is a squat adventurer with the addition of a plastic right arm and the left arm liberated from a squat biker.

The entire crew is looking much more menacing now when fully assembled!

    1. Thanks very much! Really enjoyed painting these. The helmet is super simple really -using that faithful old bit of sponge!

  4. Great work. I like all the details on these guys: the chains, the helmet and the tattoos. They're coming together into a nice warband. And good sculpting too!

  6. Three more fantastic additions to the crew! I wanted to say the quartermaster is my favorite, but there's something about Orlaf... between that pose and his do-rag he takes the win. Keep them coming!

    1. Thanks Suber! I suspect they would prefer to be viewed as threatening rather than charming though!!

  9. Great additions! Now you're making me whimsical for my old Squat army, sadly sold many moons ago.

    1. Thanks Dai! Let's hope those squats are still battling hard in the hands of their current owner.
