Even Pirates go to Church

When I picked up the buildings from Games of War I bought some extra roof sections with the intent of building a church, that  plan has finally come to fruition.


The church itself is foam board covered with a paint & Polyfilla mix with the windows and doors supplied by Firedragon Games. The fittings come with a flat back so are perfect for sticking onto the outside of a building.


As buildings can be occupied in Blood & Plunder the roof comes off with space inside to fit a reasonable number of troops.


Alongside the church I also completed the extra Spanish troops for the Militia army. The twelve musket armed troops could be used to bulk out the units I already have or could be used as Soldados.


The Soldados come with lots of options to pimp out the unit so they could add an elite unit to the Spanish army, being a support unit means you may have to miss out on another elite unit like the Indios however.


The Warlord ECW box came with enough parts to make an officer and musician for both sides, these can be added as characters to a force.


The English got a drum to beat, perhaps Drakes famous drum ? Whilst the Spanish got a piper.


The musician is cheap at only 2 points whilst there are a couple of different officer options with the full blown Officer acting as a backup in case the force leader dies.


Lastly, just before I sat down to write this my copy of the latest novel to come out of Mantica arrived so that should take care of the bedtime read for a while. This story is about the Basileans and looks to explore the workings of the totalitarian religious state.

  1. The sticky-on windows work well I think - that's one of the hardest bits to do free-hand

    1. Yeah, they do a nice range as well, so plenty of choice.
