Scarlett and Browne, a very British Post-Apocalypse
« on: 25 August 2025, 06:31:01 PM »
I have just finished Jonathan Stroud's Scarlett and Browne Trilogy.

Book one of three.

After an undefined Great Cataclysm, Britain is divided into seven Kingdoms. Most of the people live in the highly regulated Surviving Towns, under the watchful eye of the Faith Houses who ensure orthodoxy, both behavoral and genetic.

The map of Britain is both familiar and different. Between the Surviving Towns are the wilds, infested with a whole range of nasty and deadly fauna, including The Tainted (think Rage Infected).

Scarlett McCain is a young robber, who specialises in robbing banks, and occasionally Faith Houses. She is deadly accurate with a revolver and has no hesitation in using it.

Her life changes after she finds a crashed bus with a single survivor, a teenaged boy.

From the descriptions,  the Great Escape Games Dead Man's Hand plastic figures sounded suitable.

Scarlett, using the Gunfighters II sprue and a Stargrave head.



I have still to decide on the figure to use for Albert.

Town Militia in their regulation bowler hats.



Faith House Operative

Another Gunfighter body with a pair of Frostgrave Wizard arms and a Stargrave Crew head.

My daughter is a big fan of the Lockewood series. I bought figures for the characters and
a variety of ghosts ect. Made up some rules and we had a great time.
