Just thought I would share these. 3 28mm pirate ships from Ainsty.

Incredible models. The level of detail is very impressive. They do cost a pretty penny, but that seems fair for what appears to be a quality kit. Anybody do business with them before?

Shiver me timbers the biggest one is more expensive than Dreadfleet!

They look damn nice though. Could be worth it if I ever get time to blow the dust off of Legends of the High Seas.

Hmm... does Mordheim have a Seaport? because those boats would do a sweet gaming table.

Mordheim is an inland city, but it DOES have a river running through it.

Not just that, but you can make out a few boats on the river. Realistically the sloop... and maybe some custom made barges are all you could reasonably expect to see in Mordheim, but I'm definitely on the same page as you guys. My Estalian explorer warband needs a way into Mordheim and what better than a mobile base.

They look very nice...but for the price I was expecting them to be....bigger.

A typical "Man O War" vessel of that day would be around 350 tons and 150+ crew...

I will say, its the conversion rate that kills it for me as a US customer...Id consider paying $75 USD, but not 75 GBP.

Very awesome stuff - thanks for posting. Would be terrific scenery for Freebooter's Fate. As would most of the riverfront section.

pretty much everything you said here.

I could really use something like for a display I'm working on, but I can't justify the 75GBP

Oh man, I'd love those have one or two of those on a gaming table. Mordheim would be great, but they lack another level to really make use of the rules. They'd be awesome in a Warmachine game as well.

Its not just the boats, have you fellers had a look around the rest of their site. I was not aware of the amount of stuff they had but I have to say I am impressed.

Although nice I'm not sure that I could see myself making a dungeon or spaceport with their tile components because of price (although they seem to be cheaper than some others I have seen), but I can see myself getting allot of their street furniture and machinery items to detail scratch built projects.

very pretty - with companies releasing the likes of pirate goobos, elves, undead & dwarfs (Black Scorpian), the war o' war would make a great base for a mahosive diorama!

They've been around for a good time... and while the company has changed hands twice each owner has tried to bring something new to it.

This just made my Khadorian naval dock yard terrain so much easier

Here's a painted example.



A gorgeous product, and a real bargain compared to FW and other resin companies. If I had any use at all for pirate ships, they'd be on my buy list.

Additionally, it seems that these are cleaned up reissues of the ships formerly made by Dixon It's always a good thing when an excellent OOP product gets a new lease on life.

They are NICE!

Wow, those are really impressive.

If only I had MORE more money than sense.
