Map the Black Sailors Kickstarter With Unlocked Cartographer
December 8, 2014 by dracs
The Black Sailors Kickstarter, a campaign seeking funds to help send a crew of orcy pirates onto the high seas, has about a week left to run and is still hitting stretch goals. The latest one gave us rather an unusual orc, the cartographer Tamaruk.
Described as "the only orc smart enough to read a map," Tamaruk certainly stands out from among your usual greenskin rabble. For one he's wielding an over-sized quill rather than an over-sized cutlass. Yet, despite his bookish appearance, he still has a very grizzled look to him, achieved by the patched detail of his clothing and the scars and wrinkles of his skin. This is a book basher who bashes back!
According to the Kickstarter page, more awesome stretch goals will soon be appearing over the next couple of days, including two new miniatures. In the meantime though, we get this awesome piece of artwork.
A goblin with a bunch of grenades and a flaming torch. Nope, can't see anything going wrong here.
Have you backed this Kickstarter? Does this grizzled, greenskin map-maker tempt you?
What character!
love that goblin concept art 😀
The painted Papa Jambo on the kickstarter 2nd page is one of most characterful mini’s I’ve seen! (Who’d have thought an Orc and a Pelican would go together so well…!)
I like that they have looked outside of the box with this line. That top mini gives the impression that he is smart and sly or sharp witted.
