They're made by Black Scorpion, but I don't think that anywhere else stocks them. There are companies around who make suitable pirate minis, Reaper certainly has a few. I've never really looked for them. At 4000 yen for a crew they aren't badly priced.
I have a spare Privateer crew if you want it.
Any particular reason why you are after new crews?

I started a game club at the school where I work. I wanted the kids to be able to paint up a gang of cutlass models. I was really hoping forTtomb Stone to be a game now. But it doesn't look like they have made any rules yet.

Sounds like a worthy cause. As I said, I have an unpainted gang of Privateers if you want them.

I was cruising the interwebs, actually found it through Youtube Channel. I was interested in the FoW stuff but I also noticed they sell pirate stuff.

http://www.gamesofwar.net/acatalog/Pira ... Store.html

Mostly stuff to support pirate games like ships, but what kind of pirate doesn't want his own ship. :D And the website ships for free anything above 10 British pounds.

Prim and I were talking about easy to learn skirmish rules and he told me about "Song of Blades and Heros". If you can get past the extremely dated artwork, it looks like a solid ruleset. And more importantly dead easy. Cutlass gets pretty fiddly with all those counters.
I remember I had one school with an go/shogi club. I brought Space Hulk once. Bright kids. One even beat me fair and square in his second game!

I can agree with you, Konrad. While Cutlass is an enjoyable game and it really stands out as a game with mechanics not quiet like so many other my turn-your turn games, but it does get awfully intensive with reading charts every few seconds. We never seem to play this game more than once every few months, so I can never recall what the chart looks like.

Still, Cutlass is a fun game.
