I have looked at Freebooter's Fate before (I have an Amazon model from them) but I found this line recently and it looked really neat.

Blood and Plunder

Unlike Freebooter's Fate they are a more "historical" pirate miniatures game, and seem to have rules that allow seemless land-to-boat play. They have several European powers at play in the game (English, Dutch, Spanish, French) and some cool looking Native American Caribbeans too.

French:

Here are some of the boats.

They also have some bundles as well.

Two players:

Each player faction has multiple options to get a "nationality" pack, the cards, and a ship:

I do like the English and the Spanish factions, I am considering saving up to get the bundles for a sloop and a brigantine. And likely the native nationality set too, maybe make my own canoes out of something.

As a player of Tortuga: Pirates of the New World (an old and obscure PC Game where you get to sail a ship around the Caribbean, fight pirates and deal with English, French, Spanish and Dutch), I can honestly say I love this! The ships are beautiful - are there rules for naval battles as part of this game alongside the skirmish play? - and the miniatures are great. I certainly like the look of the English and Native nationalities too.

Between us we’ve found so many of these little-known games - we should start getting into some of them!

Actually just purchased the natives for Blood and Plunder yesterday; I hope to use them for a couple different games, from Mordheim, Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago, and maybe even as auxiliaries for the Lizardmen!

If you want to see some more awesome piratey pics, check THIS out!

You could also use them as a company for IHMN - there were still Native Americans around in the Victorian Era so why not? ;) You could make them a fast-moving melee-based company that’s squishy but that’s why they need to get into combat!

Very true.

Actually yesterday I was researching Steampunk tabletop terrain. I wasn't able to find much great tabletop stuff, but I did come across a lot of great artwork. I need to organize them and post them up on the IHMN thread.

I look forward to seeing it!
 
Cool ideas for custom ships:

Making your own rowboat (also with a sail):

Some videos on the game I have been going over, mostly from Beasts of War:




And a cool looking board from Terrainaholic:

 
Please tell me you won't call them Umpopo, Ugh, Agh, Og, Arg, Bongo and so on.... (referring to the old Games Workshop Pygmies).

Ha no... not those names :bag:

Plan is for them to act as a generic Native Islander set of minis. I like the idea of using them for Ghost Archipelago, or even as some auxiliaries for a Mayan force.
 
Exciting news everyone!

I took the plunge and order my copy of the 'collectors' edition of the Blood and Plunder rulebook today! I don't normally do collectors editions as they can be expensive, but this one had both the main rulebook and the expansion in one single book. And it looked awesome and is a game about historical pirates!

The book is awesome, made to look 'old timey,' with lots of great artwork and beautifully painted miniatures. And maps!

I have only given it a single once-over so far, but I can say my favorite part of the book after my initial read. It reminds me so much of my old WHF timeline charts that used to be in the Lizardmen, Bretonnia, and Dwarf books, and the main rulebook. And there are several pages worth of timelines of stuff that really happened! You can tell the creators spend a lot of time, effort, and research to put into this book.

The people from firelock games will likely never read this, but I love your book, thanks for putting it together!


... already mentioned their kickstarter HERE, and as much as I can't put in for it now, I am super excited for when their new starter set his general production!
