Ive been painting forces for this for the last month, the figures are excellent and what I love about them is that there are no repeats, every figure is completely individual.

I'm going to recreate my Escher gang, the Angry Sapphic Ho's in Cutlass using those pretty girl pirate figures. I just wish the book would hurry up and go on sale on the website. Unless I'm missing it, which would be embaressing.

The wenchy on the front of the Cutlass rules is about my ideal size and shape - with a preponderance for weapon related violence I reckon we'd get along like a house that has been torched.

They are making a model of her too:

She shall be the captain of my female pirate gang. With blonde hair.There is an interview with the model the art is based on somewhere on the website also.

This is Black Scorpions limited edition "Salute" figure, she's called Alexis (after the model who posed for the art work) and there are 100 of her, all resin. The first 15 of the hundred are up on Ebay atm and competition for them is fierce.

She will eventually be made as a standard metal figure.

very interesting, i've been keeping an eye on black scorpion for a while now, their pirate minis and US Marines look perfect for my upcoming wargaming project.

will have to see if i can get a look at this new rulebook

I'd love to hear when someone actually plays the game. Very interested, so if someone has a rules write up, you'd be balls!

the miniatures are hit and miss for me. I'm going to probably get into it though - the female ones are the best I think - I'll give them all east-european names like Nastya, Anastasia, Irisha ect and make them all redheads. Yes.

On the other hand the stuff like the Orcs are horrid though IMO, they went with that dreadful GW style - and if your going to ripoff Tolkein I think you should at least do something a bit different with them IMO.

I've been rather fond of Black Scorpion's wild west line for a while now. And their heroes of the British Empire are great.

I think it is cool that Gav Thorpe has enough name to be recognized when working with Black Scorpion. Makes me think of the upcoming Dust Warfare game done by Andy Chambers- although Starship Troopers didn't go so well.

So cutlass is pretty much Mordheim...

No, no more than Warmachine is like Warhammer 40,000.

I've been a fan of Black Scorpion figs for a while (and have lots of the female pirates for a Malifaux crew). I finally picked up a rulebook, but haven't had a chance to give it a try yet. I am a bit underwhelmed by the rulebook (which admittedly, reads a lot like the rules for Mordheim). However, I love Mordheim, so I'll give it a try one day!

I have picked up the rules and about 80% of the Black Scorpion pirate models.
Not played yet but love the minis and the rules seem like a lot of fun

I'm gald to see Gav has been busy, however I'm not going to even look at the minis or game. It would just set on a shelf and collect dust.
