The Wright Pirates for In Her Majesty's Name Steampunk Adventure Game

All righty then, today we finally get to post the Wright Pirates! Our next company of adventurers for "In Her Majesty's Name" Steampunk miniatures game. These air raiders reside in the Northeast of the United States and have quite a history of adventuring for Country or King. You could call them mercenaries, as long as you do it behind their back.

We started once again with packs of miniatures from Artizan designs and primed them with black Rustoleum automotive primer. Being airmen, we wanted leathers so decided to stick with earth tones. Here the lieutenant has his overcoat painted in Raw Umber and his inner tunic Chocolate Brown.

The regular troops all have shorter jackets so just received the Raw Umber.

Khakis seemed to fit the best so a base of Mink Tan was used.

The skull caps were painted with the same Chocolate Brown as the Lt's tunic.

Side arm holsters and ammo bags were all painted a Burnt Umber except for the riflemen who received Olive ammo pouches. Straps, gun stocks and accents were mainly painted with Coffee Bean.

The fur collars were based with the same Mink Tan

Then were accented with Warm White

Scarves received an extra highlight of Titanium White. Goggles and buckles were painted with Metallic Brass. The lenses were painted Midnight Blue. Originally they were to have bare hands but it was decided that the air being so cold at high altitudes would require gloves.

Weapons were painted with Metallic Gunmetal and highlighted with Aluminium. Extra parts were treated with a mixture of Bronze and Copper

So after a few final touches, they were immediately assigned a guard duty rotation.

Or sent on a clandestine mission for the US Secret Service to investigate a hidden Prussian Installation

And at any time they could be called upon by their wealthy industrialist benefactor to explore far off South American jungle ruins for ancient artifacts.

Watch out for the natives boys!

OK, there's guard duty there too.

We hope you enjoy the Wright Pirates and stay tuned as we frantically try to prepare their company leaders!

Have a Great Battle,
The Old Crow
