Headhunters and pirate-captains

This week I bought some figures at Alpha-games
here in Sweden. They had sale and some of the
figures I bought were really cheap.
I had been looking on these figures for some time
and one of my friends sent me an sms and
gave me a tip that now was the time to order.
I chose to buy some pirates that will be my
special-characters in the pirate game:
Blood and bounty. Some of the figures are
really nicely detailed and will play the pirate-captains.
I also bought a package(30) of cheap zulu-warriors
and I will  convert them to headhunters and
indian-tribes men in the pirate-game.
My plan for these headhunters are that all the
players in the game will roll a dice each round 
and the one that get the 6 will control them.
This will make the pirate-game unpredictable
and also more fun in my opinion.
I will convert the figures and make them very
colour-full and a mix of several features from
different tribes.
The rating of these zulu-warriors are 3 out of 5
and I think the details could be more "crisp" and
the poses are also a bit static. Other figures from
WGF are really nice and they come with a lot
of extra bits but not in this package...
The box is nice and also the graphics and this is
a improvment if you look at earlier releases
from this company but the priority must be the
content before the packaging...
Finally I bought 4 soviet zombies and also 4
soviet zombie bombs to the game: Secrets of the
third reich by West wind miniatures. 
The pirates are manufactured by Black scorpion
and the zulu-warriors by Wargames factory. 
All the figures are in the scale of 28mm.

  3. I actually managed not to spend any money on their figure sale...by instead buying a bunch of Feldherr foam on sale. ;-)
