Blood & Plunder Raise the Black Kickstarter Coming October 6th 2020
The new Blood & Plunder Kickstarter campaign Raise the Black will be going live on October 6th 2020. It will fund a new Blood & Plunder 2 player starter set with 28mm plastic miniatures, plastic sloops & more.
We interview Mike Tuñez from Firelock Games and Benerson Little, a renowned pirate historian who consults with the Firelock Games team and has also worked on the Black Sails TV Show. In the interview, we get a preview of what's coming in the Raise the Black Kickstarter and discover more about the change in the timeline as the miniatures game moves forward in time with the latest rule book.
28mm Plastic Miniatures and Ships FTW!
It's exciting stuff to see the Firelock Games team bringing a 2 player starter set in plastic into reality and possibly even more exciting to the new plastic ship the Bermuda Sloop also on the way again in plastic. However, if you're into your heavy metal the team will also continue to produce miniatures in metal, picking the appropriate material for each release they are working on.
There's more to see in the video, so have a watch and let us know what you're most excited by in the comments.
Arrh!
Raise the anker … loot & plunder … ’cause I wants that treasure!
I think this Kickstarter is point for me to dip my oar into the water with blood and plunder. Great interview, nice one Justin ?
Still hoping they will dip into some other areas of the world, especially the far east. Already got my money put aside for this one though
I’m giddy with anticipation waiting for this one! I’ve not missed a Kickstarter yet and money is already set aside to snag this one as well. I am curious to see how the plastic ships compare to the current ships. I have quite a few of them so I hope that once the paint is applied that there is a noticeable difference. Probably the only real question is if I’ll need to weight the plastic ship so it feels the same as the others. ……………. On a side note, I’m overjoyed that Mike brought Benerson Little on the show for… Read more »
Looks ace! The existing minis look really nice and I’ve admired them from afar for quite some time but having a plastic starter set will be the catalyst for me to get into the game I reckon…
Do the plastic minis come with metal bases?
The new ship’s looks fantastic an the changes to tactics sounds good the world wide pirate battle would be great to see if not play. could be a parley between all the pirate’s to push the European power’s out of the Caribbean islands.
I may have already decided to back this.
I’ve never played this game but have seen people rave about it. im really liking the sound of plastic models, its my preferred material. I wouldn’t mind backing it just to read the rules and paint something that’s not olive drab or Multicam!
Looking forward to seeing the plastic kits for this.
That will cost me a few $$ – because it is worth it !
I really shouldn’t browse back-content on here. Just signed up for a late pledge to Raise the Black! ??
