The Voyages of the 'Fluffy Bunny'

Having got the Blood &Plunder starter set, The Pirates if Legend and the Soldiers set, my sole purchases at UK games Expo were more Pirates from Black Scorpion  which I was pleased to find scale wise a perfect match for Fitelocks new Plastics. These were not purchased to replace Firelock’s but to give more variety to my Pirate Force  , leaving most of my Firelock Figures to be used as my Royal Naval force.

Now for once I actually had a plan for my build…. each side would get one of the plastic Sloops from the starter  but also 2 bigger ships  one being the built and primed TT combats Guild Galleon for my Pirates ( a fairly Generic 3 master which can be used for my earlier Sea Dogs Project and for this) Plus I have now got but not built Sarrisma Precision’s Ship of the Line for the R.N.

The Two forces are centered around a friend 2 Neices , the younger portraying the Despicable Captain Black Alice, Captain of the Sloop ‘Fluffy Bunny’ and her Royal Naval Opponent her Sister Lt. Commander Sean ( nee Susan disguised as a man)  Henryson R.N. on the Frigate ( Sarisma Ship of the Line) HMS Troutbridge ( for any old Navy Lark fans)

Captain Alice was a Hero Forge Custom Figure, and Susan was a rather nice female Pirate figure from Black Scorpion.

Scale

As mentioned in the intro for project I found that Black Scorpion figrescare a good match for the new Firelock Plastics,  and a guy on you tube has done a video on how BS Figures match some of the older ranges from Warlord or Foundry.

To be honest for this period the minor differences in scaling really are academic as people come on all shapes and sizes , so figure sizes  is a minor point, it’s usually differences in wpns and kit sizes that maybe biggest issue  , but in this period standardization of wpns and kit would be the rarity rather than the norm other than in Regular Armies and Navies ( though wpns tended to be standardized within ship crews for logistical reasons) which is why I’ll be mainly using Firelock Figures for my R.N crews.

As you can see there isn’t much in it and really would be unnoticeable from normal table lengths.
