The Fishmen Of Sartosa!?, Kap'n Hadduk's Halibuteers!

In my club's Sartosa: City Of Pirates campaign I'm going to be dropping in hints and rumours about a strange race of Fishmen that are terrorising the coastal fishing towns. The players will probably assume it's a joke because of the constant in-jokes about the Fishman army as the next race GW are making for Warhammer.

Little do they know, if any of them send a team to investigate they will have to fight my new Mordheim gang:
Kap'n Hadduk's Halibutteers!

Probably.

It's all very early stages at the moment but I've started a concept model of a "Fishman", somewhat based on a Call of Cthulhu "Deep One" or a World of Warcraft "Murloc" (Murlorc? ). Kap'n Hadduk's Halibutteers are going to be an Orc Warband dressed as Fishmen to scare the locals in a Scooby-Do kinda way! The Fishman costumes will hopefully look like they are crudely made from dead land-animal parts, canvas and large fish. Hopefully!









It's isn't finished by a long-shot but you get the idea - an Orc, jaw-bone bits from the Orc Chariot and Orc Command sprues, Goblin spear-tips, an Ogre club and a lot of Greenstuff!

If I can get enough of them done they may end-up as Black Orcs in my Pirate Orc army!

C&C welcome!

Haha tis a grand idea and should make a very characterful warband, only prob is you are gonna be able to see those fat heads at all times so may get shot to peices . Cant wait to see em painted.

Looking great Is the whole warband going to be sculpted in this fashion? I can imagine it being *really* imposing looking if it will be done this way

(You should try to buy a Warhound for one of your heroes and paint it up like Scooby too )

Keep the pics coming

Yeah, that's my plan. Each one will look slightly different - some will have fish tails, fish-hooks stuck in their gills, yucky aquatic trophies, etc.

I'm hoping to make them look stiched together and with a bit of "The Village" vibe.
I'm going to try to do at least a Boss, a Shaman, two Big'Unz and half a dozen Boyz (maybe more). Then maybe a Troll, a Standard and a Musician.

Hehehe!

Just a couple of other random ideas (some silly, some not...):

1) Octopuss Helmet
2) Fish Fins Gloves / Boots
3) Shark Fin
4) Hammerhead Shark Head
5) Jellyfish helmet (painted as a Man-o-War)
6) *Cod*-Piece

wow looks nice

it seems like a lot of work to do an entire warband like that ! but sure they will look great

also Goofs good ideas

Awesome! Hehehe

I'm definately using these:
2) Fish Fins Gloves / Boots
3) Shark Fin
6) *Cod*-Piece

4) Hammerhead Shark Head is a "possible"

These ones are but I love them anyway!
1) Octopuss Helmet
5) Jellyfish helmet (painted as a Man-o-War)

Well, I thought I'd add them just for laughs anyways

Anyways, I look forward to seeing these when they're done (gives me a bit of a kick in the pants to get some more stuff done on my models even )

Good!

I just thought of another easy one as well: Squid Hoppers!
Just add a few tentacles to regular squigs....

Nice looking models, I really like it , keep up the awesome work. Show them also when painted.

Scooby-doo is more a distilled Khorne hound.

That orc looks GREAT!

my swamp orcs have a few more ideas...

Am I the only one on the forum who can't use green stuff really well?

By Gork that fish-ork is just to cool bud!! Man where do ya take it from

What I do hope you do with these are to make them really colourfull and gaudy!
