Firelock Games Launches Kickstarter With 150 New Blood & Plunder Sculpts

Firelock Games dropped 150-plus brand-new sculpts into a single Kickstarter with the launch of "A Decade of Plunder," and every one of them ships as a single piece of high-quality resin. For a community that spends as much time with clippers and glue as it does with a brush, that detail matters as much as the headcount.

Single-piece casting eliminates the pinning, gap-filling, and curing time that slow down batch painting. There are no recessed mold lines hiding inside collar folds or armpit seams, no waiting for bond to cure before primer hits the model. Open the box and prime the same afternoon.

The campaign spans seven nationalities: Spanish, English, Dutch, French, Cimarron, Native American, and an Unaligned set. Each Army Box includes a faction-specific Commander and core troops, giving painters an immediate anchor for palette decisions and basing schemes. The Cimarron set connects directly to the new expansion, Rise of the Buccaneers: Jamaica, which covers the guerrilla wars of the Jamaican interior between Cimarron fighters, Spanish Guerrillas, and the English settlers consolidating Port Royal. That combination of culturally specific sculpts and lore-rich context is exactly the setup that produces distinctive display models.

Among the named commanders in the Jamaica expansion are Sir Christopher Myngs, Roc Brasiliano, and Bartholomew Portuguese. Myngs, the early English buccaneer admiral who raided Spanish Caribbean ports throughout the 1650s and 1660s, has been one of the most requested historical characters in the Blood & Plunder community and finally arrives as a sculpted single-piece model. Brasiliano and Bartholomew Portuguese, both legendary figures from the same early buccaneer era, round out what amounts to a priority shortlist for painters interested in period-accurate naval and buccaneer character work.

The Duelling Captains pledge bundles starter content for two players at a discounted price, making it the natural entry point for pairs or painting partners splitting the cost. Two add-ons deserve particular attention for their time sensitivity: the custom Activation Deck and the Unit Deck for the Jamaica book are exclusive to this campaign and will not appear in standard retail distribution after it closes.

The Corbeta ship miniature sits among the add-ons as the campaign's large-scale centrepiece, representing the most technically ambitious piece for painters who enjoy constructing and rigging period vessels. Firelock's Mike Tunez hosted a live Q&A on the company's YouTube channel at launch to walk through the full pledge structure.

A significant portion of the 150-plus sculpts are reimagined versions of figures from Blood & Plunder's original Kickstarter ten years ago, rebuilt in Firelock's current resin process with sharper undercutting and finer surface detail. Those who worked through the older versions of the original line will see the difference clearly under a first wash. The campaign is live on Kickstarter now.
