The Stoneskulls sail out of a ramshackle sea-fort, perched on a rocky spire in Skull Sands, in the Karkino Sea (Aqshy). The fort was once owned by a Wight Captain and his skeleton crew, but the orruk pirates took possession after a protracted boarding action and running battle. It's mostly constructed from shipwreck detritus, flotsam and jetsam; lashed together with rigging and a few nailed-on, slightly rusty, metal plates.
Shortly after taking over the fort, they renamed their ship The Stoneskull, (and by extension, themselves the Stoneskulls) after their new home.

Skumbo
Obsessed with tinkering with mechanical contraptions - like making the sails open automatically using complex pulley systems, or reloading the great guns faster. He accidentally falls overboard at least once a day.
+++
Eeffo
A mysterious and secretive privateer who everyone respects and fears. He moves like a ghost and can win a duel with a paddle.
+++
Small Troel
First to dive headfirst onto an enemy ship with a lit torch. Laughs as everything burns around him, often including his own crewmate's plans.
+++
Drem
Tends to be the one chatting with the harbour masters, or smuggling supplies past blockades, and looking completely innocent, while the rest of the crew sets the docks on fire.

Twelve pirate orruks of the Stoneskulls completed so far!
(There are 7 more models built, greenstuffed, and ready for undercoat. I'll share them in another post later...)
