Can I direct you to this extract from The Brick Lane Commune article on the IHMN blog:
"Often at their side is a Political Commissar. A relatively well-educated young man or woman who has learned their dogma at the feet of one of the giant thinkers of the revolution. They go into battle reading aloud from political tracts to encourage the revolutionaries."

You can find the full article here: http://inhermajestysname.wordpress.com/2013/03/02/the-brick-lane-commune/

That's the description of the brick lane gathering from the book I believe. Besides, that's the look from Ripper Street  ;)

Brilliant!

a Cadre of the Commune is led by a Working Class Hero
Haa!!

I wouldn't have called the intellectual a Commissar though. That's so 20th century communism! :D
But for the rest a very nice background story.

The girl with the mollies is lovely.

I should rewatch Peter Watkins' La Commune now.

Ah, well in that case, I'd like more of all the 'basics' from the different sets. He's not listened yet though, just mumbles something about deadlines and sculptors time with schedules, generally followed by 'too much bloody stuff' and 'gamers are never happy'  ::) lol

well, maybe some expansion packs when he's through with the schedule for the starter boxes

I love these figures- very useful for lots of things. I can see me using them as a militia force for VBCW (well maybe not the ladies, but certainly most of the menfolk).

very good stuff indeed!

Perry's ACW rioters are also worth a look (and a lot cheaper).

Nah, they are rubbish, too early and too wee. And I'll tell those Perry twins that to their face, you see if I won't >:(

Yes, well, a certain game author poo-poo'd my suggestion that Nick would follow up with more companies for JUST those reasons, and see what we have here? Oh, Craig, ye of little faith!  lol

Or did you mean singles from the sets...  ;)

Well, left over females could be a cadre for militant anti-war protesters, right? Lysistrata 1938 w/ fire bombs?

Nope, Mike Owen sculpts done with normal greenstuff I believe.

No, singles are a pain to deal with for a company. Blisters of the basics from the boxes would be a start but really I want more Tong and Incorrigible figures :)
I appreciate the money needs to be made back on what's been done already though to show it's worth doing more, but I want some  lol

You're just getting greedy now Dean. More Incorrigible figures? What kind of force are you making - Lord Curr's Battalion?  lol

Ah, of course. Well, closer to what I meant, than the 'make new figs to match' I thought you might have been trying for. Now THAT would had him mumbling something fierce, no?   lol

Ah.. OK. Was just about to say that they were the first computer sculpts I ever liked.  lol

Oh, gawd, I know TOO WELL how that would have hurt! Glad to see you saved from that!  lol

I wouldn't rule it out  ;) I just love the Incorrigible figures, they are fantastic armed Victorian figures, suitable for almost any use you can think of in the VSF world. Reference for more is easy too, just watch the bank robbery episode from Ripper Street.

I wonder how they would mix with Musketeer Minis Inter war ranges?  Seems like a lot of the VBCW and IWI figures would be suitable.

           
Title: Re: Anarchy!
Post by: Rob_bresnen on September 21, 2013, 11:50:22 AM
I would think they would. I love Mike Owens sculpts and have used loads of his Artisan Designs stuff with my VBCW- mixing it with Black Tree Designs, Bolt Action and Musketeer- I never have found much of a problem.
