Blood & Plunder: Raise the Black Painting Challenge

[jamescutts 6905xp 3]

Firelock Games latest Kickstarter Blood & Plunder: Raise the Black is due to be delivered in early 2021.

Having spoken to @limburger, a fellow collector of minis that is equally as good at not painting as myself, we both realized we have Blood & Plunder minis, either on the way or in the pile of opportunity.

Sensing an opportunity for some motivation for both of us (and anyone else) to finally get some minis painted I set down a friendly challenge, unfortunately dueling with pistols is frowned upon these days, so:

 

The Challenge is as follows,

Before the Raise the Black Kickstarter is delivered (to your door) complete anything from a single “squad” to a “Starter Army”, or more if you would like.

Ideally being on the theme this should be something Blood & Plunder or Pirate related but whatever floats your boat (hehe) if you want to paint something else go for it the aim is to paint some minis.

Entries may then be looked at by @sundancer on the Unofficial Hobby Hangout at some point early next year where they will be judged for mold lines and generally criticized for not being badgers, dwarfs, trains, moonstone or SAGA.

There is no prize, other than having the satisfaction of knowing you have finally got round to painting some miniatures.

Yarrh !
I be digging through my pile of booty to see if there is piraty things to use.

I do not move at any noticable speed though, so not sure when I can get stuff done at all.
Should a miracle happen and treasure be found I will report and/or hunt down the dirty scoundrels …

Ohhhhhhh, I should join this as I have a lot of Blood and Plunder still to be painted!  (with all the new stuff on the way)

 

But don’t anyone hold your breath.  (I’m notorious for not posting my work)

 

Maybe I’ll join silently and be inspired by other’s posts.

You lot need some background music for your adventures:

@sundancer I’ve got a spotify playlist filled with sea shanties and all sorts of pirate themed music (and some odds and sods that don’t really fit but are still in there).

damn … now I am distracted again.
I was going to do something brilliant, but I forgot what it was …

Looking forward to the Kickstarter. Unfortunately delivery has been delayed by a couple of months. More time for painting the stuff we’ve already got though.
Might not start a project but I’ll probably do a few bits. Here’s a gun and crew I knocked out yesterday afternoon. 

[limburger 21668xp 1]

yeah .. I asked for a tiny delay so I could finish the one squad I was planning to do before the kickstarter is delivered .

And they did … ’cause I’m good like that 😉

So how’s everybody’s progress going? has  it started yet? 😉

[jamescutts 6905xp 1]

Progress is being made, I’ve 4 figures and a long boat completed so far, hoping to start picking up some more this year!

[limburger 21668xp 0]

progress? what progress ?
oh … I had kind of forgotten about this one. Got distracted by an interesting side project.

Firelock posted an update showing of the plastic sloop sprue.

[sundancer 42901xp 0]

Any progress? 😉 I’ve set myself a reminder in my calendar 😉
