"There is no shortage of trained seamen who will happily sign-on to a Heritor's expedition to the Ghost Archipelago. The lure of wealth and adventure make it a much more desirable billet than working on a merchantman, and, compared to piracy, it is a legal, if no less dangerous, occupation.

The costume depicted appears to be a deliberately 'fuzzy' hybrid of that of European sailors/pirates and that of Barbary pirates. My main issue with these figures is the excessive anatomical disproportion: the usual stumpy calfs are even more truncated. The overall effect is, as is the pattern with Frostgrave plastics, convincingly dwarf-like. Fortunately for me it's academic: I have more than enough metal pirates. |
