Captain Allarei'ja

My somewhat unique-in-concept Eredar Pirate captain, Allarei'ja, or just Rei'ja, for short; she was a long-time member of the Burning Legion, but when Sargeras was imprisoned at the end of the Legion expansion and the demons of his armies were left adrift, she found her way to Azeroth where she established a rather advantageous working relationship with a Warlock Pirate. In short, she didn't kill them for having the gall to summon her, and in return, he would re-summon her if she ever was killed, expediting her return from the Nether. She also became captain of the ship, which she rebuilt almost from the keel-up into a well-armoured and incredibly well-equipped warship; the Bloodwake.

Her usual M.O. is to fight smarter, not harder; she relies on intimidation and overwhelming force to encourage merchantmen to strike their colours before she has to put holes in them; the fewer dead sailors in the South Seas, the fewer families demanding the Alliance or Horde do something and the less heat she has to deal with.

Fortunately, having a massive metal-hulled warship commanded by a literal demoness with half its crew being demons and the other half being the saltiest bastards in the South Seas is rather fucking terrifying, so she very rarely has anyone refuse to stop if she fires a warning shot over their bow...especially since that warning shot is coming from a cannon about the same bore width as the Schwerer Gustav, which is loaded by a full-size infernal, takes up most of the ship's prow, and held in place by sargerite chains.

@cadhla182 did an AMAZING job with her, and I absolutely love how she came out! They really never miss, and it's genuinely incredibly how wide the range of characters they can dooble for me is!

Thanks again, Cadhla!

[papermodelsinternational]

Dutch master builder Paul Paymans has finished his model of the Dutch Zeven Provinciën, flagship of Admiral de Ruyter, among many other feats famous for its attack on Chatham (the Dutch Raid on the Medway, 1667)

Model like these are generally wooden sets; this model by Sea Horse (1:100) is paper, where necessary strenghtened with laser cut parts. All small details like guns, blocks etc. are plastic. Special sets with various thickness 'rope' are also available.

Seahorse.pl has a large series of very attractive antique sailing ships.

Sailing Ships - With and Without Anti-Grav - Pt 3

This week's early experiments with sailing spaceships. Got some nice flying sailing ships. Slap some anti-grav units on them and use the sails to slide around! I'm sure there are lots of sailing ship sins in these, both in logic and design. But I still think they are fun.
