The Ironfang Pirate Fleet - The Plunderblades and the Portwreckas, part 2


I've completed another two new models for the pirate fleet! I may give them a run out in Warcry, possibly even in Age of Sigmar, but they were mainly converted and painted just for the fun of it. While I waited for the new Ironjawz release!

They will definitely feature in my stories for Animosity Campaigns as background characters. Probably shown from the point-of-view of Kaptain Mogrum and the Cleavermaws.

Kaptain Borgoth, Megaboss, commander of the Plunderblade.

Armed with a Boss Choppa, in the form of a big sword, in his right hand and dagger in his left hand. He also wore a Kharadron rifle (that he used as a pistol) at his side. He favoured a big bicorn hat with tentacles and an orruk-skull for decoration. He was very proud of his big bushy beard, and spent a lot of time fussing with it. An unrolled navigation chart/map was pinned to his back, and while no-one was completely sure if he knew it was there, they also didn't want to ask.

Borgoth was known for his formidably loud and commanding voice and was often described as jolly, booming or "larger than life". But he was equally capable of still, brooding menace, hearty bonhomie and explosive rage.

Here seen standing among a big pile of loot - barrels, sea-chests, a navigation book, an empty bottle and assorted shipwreck timbers.

Kaptain Ogdrog, Megaboss, commander of the Portwrecka.

Armed with a Boss Choppa - in this case a really big two-handed axe. He wore an iron gob, an eye-patch, a big asymmetrical bicorn hat with a gold dolphin for decoration, and a Kharadron "pistol" at his side. He lost both an eye and a finger at some point in his career, but unlike most pirates he didn't have an "exciting" tale to tell about the incidents.

Ogdrog wasn't given to eloquent speeches, or long monologues; his usual conversation was almost monosyllabic. He usually let Borgoth do all the talking - their two ships often sailed in consort and both their crews were used to adventuring together.

Here seen having lived-up to his ship's name, standing on the ruins of a port town, surrounded by wreckage, flotsam and jetsam.
