Train Raiders P81: Chief Plunder Officer

It’s been a crazy busy day at 3DRPG Studios here in sunny Chandler, AZ, so this will be a concise post, but it still contains pirates. And as we all know, everything is better with pirates!

Our last Hovertrain pirate crew addition was The Fixer, and we weren’t planning on adding more to our base band of marauders. However, today’s featured scallywag was too good not to join our ragtag crew.

We don’t use a lot of metal miniatures these days because 3D Printing means every day is Christmas morning. Non-plastic, resin, and FDM miniatures also get tiny dings much more easily and require a much more secure storage solution. Still, we have some real gems and couldn’t pass up including this mini from our old Gen Con bin hunting days.

DM Ben recalls getting this charming chap for like $2. Numerous metal mini vendors would have boxes upon boxes of unpopular metal miniatures and would lug them to Indianapolis to clear their inventory. He would grab a dozen or so every year and then send them to a painter to have them colored. Pretty cool when he’s all said and done, right?!

Now, let’s get to the particulars for this rapscallion!

• Colorful Name: Shoeless Moe
• Character Race: Human
• Member Rank: Chief Plunder Officer
• Key Role: Determine what stays and what gets looted
• Painted Miniature: NA
• Weapon of Choice: Masterwork hatchet

They say you can’t take it all with you, and the pirate life is no different. The crew must act quickly before reinforcements arrive, and they have only a limited carrying capacity. Shoeless Joe can spot valuable treasure a mile away, so he has a small crew behind him, and he quickly points to the final loot as he runs through the conquered Hovertrain.

Until next time!
