Sailing over the horizon comes the Crimson Dawn! Ready to plunder and to strike fear in even the stoutest soldiers with it’s array of cannons and dreaded charcoal black sails. Fitted with three decks and a crew of 28, the Crimson Dawn was not the biggest vessel ever created but it was one of the most feared across all the 7 seas able of crushing a Imperial man o’ war hands down.
'the Crimson dawn was not the biggest vessel ever created but it was one of the most feared across all the 7 seas able of crushing a Imperial man o' war hands down.'
The Crimson Dawn was created by Logan4880. It features three manble decks, 15 cannons, 18 crew members and 3 masts. You can really see this ship is a force to be reckoned with. On the top deck a swiveling cannon is present aswell as the mighty masts supporting blcak sails. Below deck are the cramped working conditions for the gunners who make it possible to take out forts and other vesseles.

In 1814 Hound Knight took a little trip,
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip’.
They took a little bacon and they took a little beans,
Then Hound Knight made a model of the Battle of New Orleans.
They fired their guns and the British kept a’comin.
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin’ on
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico!
Come to the Pirates forum to see Hound Knight’s Battle of New Orleans!

Hey peeps,
We saw this and thought it was brilliant, such a small model but with so much life, detail and humour. We especially like how 2 Much Caffeine did the smoke for the cannon ball and the expressions on the people’s faces.

Forum user Imperial Governer poses an interesting question regarding the possibility of a LEGO® Pirates TV show. Would one be at all plausable? What would non FOLs think of it? Would it appeal to fans of other themes? What channel would broadcast it? All these questions and more are being discussed by our fantastic forum members, and you can join in too!
What do you think? Could a LEGO® Pirates TV show ever exist?
Many a history in LEGO® bricks fan has at one point in time wanted to see a Scottish millitary faction, but sadly, there has never been one. Have no fear, Hound Knight is here! Inspired by the book Kidnapped by R. L. Stevenson, this custom minifig is a wonderful little guy, and it would be great to see an army of them. But all armies must start with something!
Come and offer feedback and discuss Jacobite Officer by Hound Knight in the Pirates forum!
