Cult of (Space) Pirate Hats

Ahoy 'ere planet dwelling lubbers!

I will quickly show you some progress and experiments I done with green stuff and the instant mold over the weekend. I also played with what kind of army list I could get together that is not too shabby but sticks to my Space Pirate theme (and not buying insane amounts of new miniatures).

So as the topic says the way of the pirate is to accessorize with piraty things, and what comes to my mind is skulls and hats. The hats are the most notable on a small miniature so I started with them. Unfortunately burely space marine with pirate hats would be a bit silly, so I turned  my gaze to the cultists who already look the part.. 

Cultist champion with his blunderbuss and cutthroat friends. Scarfs and hats. 

Above is my tutorial on making pirate hats out of green stuff as I had a hard time findig any. Hope any fellow aspiring pirate appreciates it. 

For other piraty accessories I scavenged my bit box and found the Kroot sprues with perfect looking flinlock pistols and knives and sharp things. Using the instant mold I produced a large pool of Chaos and pirate looking bits that I will glue on the space marines and cultist to give them that pirate vibe.

Lots of bits inside the instant mold

Assorted stuff ready from the mold.

As for the 1000 point list I  had in mind you can see it here. I need a box of bikes and a Rhino to be set and go with the list. I dropped the Chosen squad and use the lovely models as Aspiring champions for my CMS troops. My three way punch of the army is the terminator squad that will probably guard the lord, the 5 bikes and the hellbrute. The rest will camp on objectives and support, I have a healthy dose of plasma guns in the army to deal with other Space Marines, Terminators and light vehicles. Note also the lack of Marks or Icons of chaos, my bikes might get the mark of Khorne or Slanesh for extra attacks or higher iniative. If I had to choose a cult I think that Slaanesh would be a good candidate for Pirates that enjoy their space rum and gold.

Until next time!
