Bleak Coast Buccaneers

 is a minor faction of Rogue Pirates introduced in the Aye-Aye! Patch for Total War: Warhammer II. They are one of the seven legendary pirate armies, which must be defeated for Vampire Coast factions to raise their Infamy rank.

Unlike the Rogue Armies associated with the Books of Nagash for the Tomb Kings, this army is always on the map whether you are playing as the Vampire Coast or not. Additionally, they can declare war on factions they encounter.

However, they will always stay at sea and patrol a specific route. As long as you steer clear of them they won't give you any trouble.

They are grouped with Rogue Armies on the Diplomacy screen, though their crests all feature a notable blue stripe, as oppose to the red stripe generally seen on Rogue Armies.

Patrol Path

 * Moves East to West from waters South of Ulthuan to North of Southlands

Unit Roster

 * This Pirate faction uses units from the Dwarfs unit roster.

Diplomatic traits

 * Once at war with a rogue pirate army, they cannot be negotiated with

Strategy
These Dwarfs can be deadly if your army is not adequately prepared with armor piercing units, as such this faction is a significant threat in the early and mid game.
