Firelock Games’ Tartana Drifts Into Blood & Plunder
February 22, 2019 by brennon
Firelock Games have released a new vessel for those wanting to take to the high seas in Blood & Plunder. See what you make of the Tartana.
This was a popular Mediterranean merchant vessel that was then used by the Spanish and the French throughout the Caribbean. It could carry quite a few guns for its size and this made it a great vessel for a privateer who was looking to do some coastal raiding.
As with all of their vessels, this comes with the rigging and masts but you'll have to find the sails from elsewhere. You also get the card to use this in your games.
Are you going to be snagging this for some piratical activity on the tabletop?
Drop your thoughts below...

Looks great. With a friend at the club now grabbing a starter set this would be a great way to move our battles to the high seas.
That is one good looking ship.
These ship models are just lovely.
a brilliant looking ship.
As soon as I saw this I went straight to Firelock Games website and bought two!
I can see some cool encounters with French pirates using these.
I never did pick up blood and plunder but I love their ships, to be honest I’m thinking more for terrain in other systems. I’m sure I’ll eventually pick up this game, though, if they were to have a pirates of the caribbean style I’m be in without thinking!!
The focus of the system is more historical, so that type of pirate won’t be in.
That isn’t to say you can’t replicate the movie by using alternate sources for miniatures (and a few house rules to cover skeletons).
Need one of these for my French.
