    New skeletal pirates from Moonlight Miniatures

    Moonlight Miniatures have added two new skeletal pirates to their Moonlight 28’s range of pirate figures and accessories.

    • Deadbeard, cursed skeletal buccaneer, 1 piece. $4.00
    • Skuttlebone, skeletal gunner with musket, 1 piece. $3.50

    From their website:

    Ahoy thar! Me skellies were feeling a bit neglected. So here be a couple of fresh recruits for your skeletal crews. First aboard is none other than Deadbeard himself (28051). He springs from the artistic mind of Melvin de Voor, who provided the concept work. With two cutlasses and a bad attitude, he’s sure to carve a place for himself in the crew. Next aboard is a lad by the name of Skuttlebone (28052). He’s a gunner by trade and a darn good one to boot, but earns his keep with with his trusty musket. These miniatures be cast in the heroic scale of 28 like all of their brethren in the 28s line. Also added a couple of painted pixs on the Hobby page.

    I was quite surprised by the pictures on the Hobby page as the figures really appear to have a lot more detail in them than it appears from looking at the primed sample shots on the site. They really look nice painted up.

    Yeah - I really like the Piper and the ‘nervous lighter’. We do seem to be getting a boatload (sigh sorry) of pirates lately too… which can only be a good thing.

    Might be an idea for a bit of a diorama - some kind of pirate ship with a bunch of different companies pirate miniatures aboard it.. hmm.

    Ive got quite some of their miniatures and they are indeed more detailled and crisp.
    it seems to often happen that white primer fades sharper edges, making miniatures look softer. even when holding white primed miniatures in your hands actually.
    (I currently prefer brown primer :))

    and more (fantasy) pirates is always a good thing to me ;), alot of people seem to complain about anything piratey, but mostly it isnt their taste in the first place anyway. I personally get bored by every regular historical range, wich to me look all the same :) (and are much more common and overdone than pirates actually.)
