Give me more pirate units!

[Thamarite Merc]

I want want want a Talion lesser Warlock with either a giant crab or a giant penguin!

Bartolo with WE&SJ isn't a bad idea for larger games. It actually looks really cool to have the gators there with a bunch of Mariners.

[baronvonchaos]

And I just want to chime in on this to keep this motion...in motion. I would love some case crackers. Some Medium based armored units with wounds would be preferable. Also a warjack or 2 (1 light and 1 heavy).

[canadianone]

maybe a unit like troll sluggers, they have volley guns, and the burst fire option that gives them a good power against heavy warjacks, like base power 13 or so, with good range, and like D3 shots.

[Hard Knox Games]

There are three or four that I mentioned in a previous thread that I'd like to see...


The Helmsman: Mr. Lucky...a double peg legged, eye patch wearing, half-man/half-jack fusion. Mr Lucky acts as a magnet for incoming fire, protecting the rest of the crew.

Mizzenmast Sniper: A true solo sniper for pirates.

Pirate Boarding Party: Equipped with Gaffs and Grappling Hooks. Have reach, a "team" knock-down against jacks (and a special surprise for colossi)

Swivel-Gunners: one or two man teams with the equivalent of Bart's gun.

The one I forgot from that thread was the Gobber Mechanic.

[Cyber-Leader-3]

A lesser warlock with an octopus or squid! 4-inch reach, sustained attack and maybe poison on a bite attack.

Umm... It doesn't get 4" reach. Reach is 2" inches no matter what, except for that one Angry Elvis solo.

By the way, I really hate RoS that solo!!

Gators got a squid with 4" reach and the Everblight battle engine which also has tenticals has 4" reach

I play Blindwater Congregation...

The Swamp Horror {aka - Mr.Hugglesworth} does not have 4" reach. Trust me on this...

And Legion of Everb0rken doesn't count. They use a completely different rules set from the rest of us.

Hmm, your right, I thought it did, I could have sworn something else had that 4" reach, Oh well, either way. Just because everblight is annoying, doesn't mean it doesn't count haha

[PG_hendybadger]

I had printed off the various League special unit cards that were nautically themed (Ogrun, Gun Mage Rifleman, Frog-guy) to freshen things up on occasion. My regular opponents never had an issue with me pulling them out, regardless if they had "expired".

Do you, or does anyone else, still have copies of the alternate pirate cards?

I started a threads AGES ago on a simliar topic. Wants for pirates! Here - http://privateerpressforums.com/show...hlight=pirates

[StJason]

Not sure where PP stands on old league materials as per IP protection...

...also, not sure off the top of my head which leagues are pirate...

Why not?

the tier list doesn't let you use character seadog units.

Isn't Walls just a character UA?

[PG_hendybadger]

Double post. Damn phone

[raincaller]

adding walls makes it a character unit.

[Nuriochi_sol]

Swampy doesn't have 4" reach. The Throne does, and Proteus has a 6" ranged attack with Drag, so it's kinda like that. Apparently, elves are the ones with 4" access...

[PG_hendybadger]

That does make sense thinking about it

Ah ha. Well that would explain it.

[MinaFangirlOfEverblight]

wait wait, when did we not have ogrun? does the assault corps not count...?

[Breadsmith]

They're not pirates, they're Rhulic

[infamousd]

I would greatly appreciate it if pirates had either a more dedicated ranged unit, or a unit of something that hit a little harder.

also another jack or two would be good too. thinking lights with harpoons that can drag big base models due to special rules, or maybe a duelistic heavy.

That said, why do Rhulic players say we have more privateer jacks... I count 4; one colossal, two heavies and a light. Sure we can use other jacks, but hey, you can use other units if your not so stuck on them being "Rhulic" or in searforge. Heck, I was half tempted to kitbash steelheads and highshields to make rhulic steelheads! they would be pretty themey, even if i had to play fourstar or high bourne to actually play them. You want to play something being thematic, then scoff at other players who want to do the same. tsk tsk.

What we need to fill the Unit role is the Cryx Black Ogrun to gain the words 'Privateer and Ally'
As for the Jacks, they arnt listed as Privateer Jacks just Merc ones. So instead of just 4 we have acces to ALL the human Merc Jacks when Rhulics only have Rhulic Jacks.

Speaking of ally units, I wouldn't mind seeing an ally caster from cryx ala Constance Blaze. Something like a captain + crew tempted to work in the service of the black fleet then cursed to ensure their loyalty. Something similar to Rengrave and his lot but with less consent. Instead of reveling in it like the revenants the caster and his men are seeking to remove it from themselves while on the leash of the nightmare empire.

[infamousd]

Privateer jacks are the piratey ones listed in the pirate section of mercs (used to be labelled as privateer in the old FoW: Pirates of the Broken Coast. Namely the buccaneer, freebooter and mariner.) if you want only pirate theme, list ends there. Galleon just screams pirate though.

They can all scream pirate with a bit of conversion.
I think a mix of Jacks fits well. Pirates arnt going to end up with several copies of only 3 Jacks. They will have what ever they can salvage or steal.

[infamousd]

Thusly, my argument to "searforge" only players. Conversions are totally cool and can allow you more options and more answers to those unanswered questions.

[canadianone]

Has any one seen the proposed Shae character mariner? basically, nothing different, but it gets chain strike and is 9 points. It would be pretty lolsy to thresher with 4 inch reach. problem is then with arm 17 it will still die next turn.

[PG_hendybadger]

I think its abit over the top with a 4" Thresher at P+S 17. That could take out the infantry of a whole army!

[PG_hendybadger]

[PG_vytzka]

I dread to say it but Shae should have a character Freebooter.

The issue is, of course, that said Freebooter is now resting in the bottom of Meridius.

(the moral of the story is left as an exercise for the reader)

[CaGeRit]

With enough plot-luck, shae could be plot-fishing one day and accidentally plot-drag up the old jack.

[PG_vytzka]

Or it could have absorbed part of Rengrave's spirit when it was crushing him and now walk out of the ocean upgraded to use necrotite/corpses.

Hell yeah to the Freeseether.

(I bet Fiona would like to tap that.)

[canadianone]

This is the link, its a bunch of test FA:C jacks

http://privateerpress.com/files/Priv...C37_Models.pdf

And i have been advocating shae dredge that thing up for ever! I think that once per game it should be able to open its seals and create a 5 inch water effect, that and have special rule abrasive (think barnacles), if you damage this model in melee with an arm/head system, that system takes 1 box of damage. Possibly also 18 armor because of all the limpets and barnacles.
