yo ho ho, a pirate's life for me...
Yarrrr!!
I'm planning to convert/sculpt a pirate cryx force. Based on the fluff of Skarre. I know, the theme isn't that new or original, but who gives a damn I just like pirates and I want a real theme going through my army.
Now I need some ideas for the (undead) pirates. I've brainstormed a bit to find items I can sculpt or add to the figs (long list):
- Eyepatch
- Bandanas
- Hats
- Anchor
- Cannon(balls)
- Chains, handcuffs
- Pistols/longguns/blunderbuses
- Sabers
- Daggers
- Monkey (?)
- Parrots/other birds
- Wooden legs
- Hooks
- Rum/booze/barrels
- Skulls
- Treasure/gold
- Treasuremap
- Flags/banner
- Beards
- Earrings
- Heavy boots
- Big belts/gunbelts/ammobelts
- Small (money)bags hanging from belts
- Open shirts, striped shirts, lace on sleeves (?)
- Stringed shirts
- Scope (or what's it called)
- Kompas
- Golden teeth
- Longcoat
- fish, octopus
- seashells
- crabs/clams
- chest filled with gold
- privateer flag (jolly flag)
- aqua creatures
If anyone got something that I could add to this list, please let me know
Also what should I do for basing? I was thinking about a shipdeck or wood. But how could I make it more interesting? Or should I go for something else?
I need the bases to tie them together, as I can't really do that with clothing/colorschemes.
For miniatures I try to limit myself to PP miniatures (tourney legal) but I could use parts of other miniatures too. So if you have any tips for parts etc, lemme know
Thanx matey

jolly roger flag (or some IK equivalent)
steering wheel and other parts of a ship
naked chick figure at the front of a ship
chests with gold
ropes
water, sand, palm trees
As for non-PP parts/model - I suppose that any pirate (dead or alive) or zombie/skeleton part could be used for converting models. There are too many of them to put all links, but I think those two links could be helpful (at least as an inspiration)
Reaper's Razig and his mates
Moonlight pirates
and as funny add-ons:

@ Demi: I've been thinking about a beach base, but I'm not sure about it yet. The way I imagine it, it looks a bit too plain.
@ Nameless: those water creatures are ideal. Need to put them in my list for sure. And those reaper pirates look good too. For use and for some more ideas Thanx
