Pirate Army

[Deleted]

This may be the craziest army list anyone has ever seen but i like the idea.

I want to make a space corsair guard force that is like the pirates of old but with space age technology.

Here's my ideas.

HQ - The inquisitor lord with the sweet hat and the flamer in one hand.

Also Ursarkar E. Creed

Elites - Ogryns as bodyguards?? Maybe big black guys like the one in pirates of the Caribbean?? dunno really

Troops - Combining empire militia, empire handgunners, empire state troops, and catachans

us.games-workshop.com/games/warhammer/empire/catalog/Emp_handgunners.htm
us.games-workshop.com/games/warhammer/empire/catalog/Emp_militia.htm

Transports - Converted jeeps, converted ork wartukks, cut out chimera's, possibly dark eldar raiders

us.games-workshop.com/games/40k/imperialguard/catalog/chimera.htm

Fast Attack

Sentinels - Wartrakks, warbuggys, piranhas (use heavy weapon teams for guns)

us.games-workshop.com/games/40k/tau/catalog/piranha.htm

Rough Riders - Jetbikes or cold one rough riders

Heavy Support

Leman Russ's - converted dark eldar raiders/ravager

Basically the idea is a quick pirate strike force that raids settlements and fights for money not for glory or survival.

I would love any ideas on other models i might be able to use or ways to improve on what i already have.

Hope nobody cares that the guard are being turned to evil purposes

you should check out the necromunda line of minis that GW puts out too - there's so much random diversity in that and that's what pirates are all about - each mini having it's own feel and personality - really hodge podge. necromunda will get you into autoguns and stuff as well as lasguns (and fluffwise, they have the same rules and are essentially the same thing, so it's a cool opportunity to actually get some of those alternate but equivalent weapons represented and on the field and even use actual GW autoguns/autopistol bits too!).
