Zombie Pirates - current state

[Niibl]

This thread will contain pictures of all finished zombie pirates starting with those I have already finished.
Those from the WIP thread will join them here once finished.
Most of following miniatures were painted as part of the "Tale Of Fantasy Painters 2008/2009" on Warseer.
I took new fotos but I have to admit that they have become a little bit dusty since then.
I did not take pictures of the 20 dogs I have painted up as they won't be good as ship crews anyway.

Crew#1 led by Captain Red Herring

Crew#2 led by Count Harkon himself

three units of handgunners

Big Bess

3 Carronades, the third is missing a swabber (must have gone overbord somewhere).

4 bloated corpses

Wonderful, I missed my Zombie Pirates (Lost/left in a house move) will have to do them again I think.

Fantastic stuff. Much better than my own cartoon-style painted army of zombie pirates. Little works of art, yours.

I confess I am not often a fan of zombies, but you make them quite fun. Excellent work.

 

[Suber]

I can't say but I'm truly amazed by your prowess. I love how you used some pieces and minis there -and of course, how you painted them!

Blistering Barnacles! Needs more fish though.

Absolutely lovely stuff. Where is that converted Von Hurkon miniature sourced from? I recognise it but can't quite place it...

That would be Imperial guard (or Astra Militarum thingee now) Ursarkar Creed

I'm a fan of undead pirates and I enjoyed looking at your superbly converted minis attempting to work out the origins of the many pieces.

I started some zombie pirates made from various GW sprues a few years back but never really completed any at the time so apart from the 'New Build' I did for the Chico Challenge a couple of weeks ago they all sit around waiting to be finished... maybe your thread will inspire me to work on a few more

Thanks for the nice replies.
For me the zombie pirates are a means to do lots of conversions and squeeze in all the weird miniatures I have or stumble upon.
On last sunday's Bitbox I bought a Patrick (from SpongeBob) in a He-man outfit and one day he will stand side by side with Snoopy to strike fear (followed by a blade) in the hearts of the living.
But that will have to wait for the day I unbox the paint pots again. Today I only managed to take pictures of the dogs.

These are astonishingly good. I like everything from the inventive combination of models, to the colour scheme, to the painting style to the shingle beach base texture and the clumps of seaweed on the cannons.

Fantastic stuff! Love it.
