Arrrr Jim Lad ... there be poirates!!

Poirates mee laaad .. arrrrrr an' ahoy there yee scurvy dog.

Pirates, you say? Pirates I say. Another of those armies that began (over 5 years ago) when I saw a cheap small galleon which just begged to be used as an airboat. I've had a box of Orion Pirates sitting in the unpainted figure pile since not long after, waiting.

Magician base: sirens on rocks bespelling sailors and luring them to their doom

The airboat, based up and flying high over the waves.
More to come - watch this space.
