One of my friends ordered the Rule book, 2 warjacks and a load of on foot guys and is trying to get myself and someone else to play. After seeing the pirate type guys, I was sold.
I had a quick look through some rulebooks in my local hobby store, and couldn't find the rules for the pirate guys. I know they're in the merc faction (Although I did spot some undead pirates, can I include these with my merc pirates) but in which book? Just so I know which to buy, rather then buying ones I don't need.
Anything else I need to know if I want to go for an all pirate themed army (Or what ever a group of figures is in warmachine).

You need to find the Forces of Warmachine: Pirates of the Broken Coast book. It has all of the pirates in it. It also comes with the rules for using the all-pirates Talion Charter mercenary contract.

Also, those undead pirates are a Cryx unit. You can't use them as a merc player.

Fiona the Black rocks against enemy troops. Haven't really tried out Shae and since my mule got wacked, I haven't had the heart to try Bart again. He needs them guns, and right now I just have the mariner.
Poor, poor mule.

What happened to your Mule? I dropped mine on its head
while I was varnishing outside and some glue just put it right
as rain.

Various types of armies can be "pirate themed."

Talion Charter = Privateers Only
Highborne Covenant = Bart or Fiona + mercenary forces
usable by Cygnar (including Precursor Knights!)
Four STar Syndicate = Bart or Fiona + mercenary forces
usable by Cryx or Khador.

Ceramic tile floor=smooshed face

Owwww.

But smooshed face adds "character"!

The undead pirates are Cryx and you can play most of the merc pirates with them but it would be a Cryx army, not a merc army, and Skarre the "Pirate Queen" (though she isn't undead) warcaster couldn't use the pirate 'Jacks. Rengrave is an undead pirate solo.

It's funny that you mention them because the Pirates of the Broken Coast book has a story about Shea, Bart, Fiona and their Pirates fighting the Cryx Pirate Rengrave and his undead crew of the Atramentous.

That story had a neat conclusion. I want Bear Hug to become
a new power attack.

Ol' Bootsy

Legendary Freebooter Warjack

When Ol' Bootsy makes a Chain Attack: Grab and Smash and enters Deep water Ol' Bootsy can be made by it's warcaster to destroy itself and targed model locked by Ol' Bootsy can not be used in the opponents next game.

Extremely situational but it'll really start ticking off opponents during tournaments with deep water terrain.
