Officially, the good and neutral Sea Rats Faction does not have a uniformed army. That's why the good citizen, kind, helpful, simple and humble sailor Kane has started recruiting with his low income a peacekeeping force NOD Regiment. Kane earned the money with his modest merchant ships and properties. With the soldiers he wants to protect the just Sea Rats democracy.

Very cool figs (despite fleshy) where did you get those legs and torso ?

Ha! They certainly look the part. Great concept and such wonderful parts!

Thank you very much! It's Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag from AliExpress.

Thank you very much! I saw the minifigures and thought they would go well with the Sea Rats.

OK, non TLG parts

Impressive group of soldiers @NOD!

A thought on the tricornes:

Spoiler

I've noticed the tricornes that come with the figures on AliExpress are a little shorter than normal TLG tricornes and don't sit on the minifigs head as far down. Nothing wrong with that, just something I've noticed!)

I think they look great from above but a little thin from straight on.

Here in this image you can compare the black tricornes with white trim on the left and right to the thickness of the tan tricorne in back

I ended up painting white trim on some standard TLG tricornes so they are a little thicker

Thank you for the compliment. I really like the print on the minifigures. Exactly your diorama is my example. When I finish cavalry and artillery individually, I want to build a diorama with them all.

Thanks, I didn't notice before that the tricornes are shorter. Now that I know, it bothers me. That's why I ordered the tricornes in black from brickowl.

Just noticed the monkey poking out of the tree!

You saw correctly. The monkey is the most likeable of them all!
