VBCW: Welsh Nationalist morale officer

[jp1885]

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you Miss Bonita 'Bonnie' Taylor; Morale officer for my Welsh Nationalist faction. I'm rather pleased with how she came out











The miniature is a camp follower from a Perry Miniatures camp set, with a hat and shawl of Greenstuff. There's a write-up on her background on my blog at http://hereford1938.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/presenting-miss-bonnie-taylor.html

Brilliant. Do you have a terrifying force of 'Valleys Commados'?

[jp1885]

Lol no I haven't, but I've seen them crop up in other players' AARs and they seem terrifying!

Top work jp - you must introduce her to my Welsh gangsters Nationalists at the next game. In fact, I may have to try and organise a kidnapping...

Well it should ensure that the sheep get a restful night.

The problem with stereotypes is that they are all the same.........

Ah, I once tinkered with the thought of a group of Miners' Union militants from the Rhondda Valley, covered with coal dust, riding pit ponies and armed with shotguns.

They'd go on a raid, then they'd get lashed up, come to Cardiff of a Saturday night to get even more lashed up and pull a cougar.

Sometimes fact is stranger than fiction mind.

Great stuff, 
Who better than Bonita Taylor?

"I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight"

Nice conversion

Cheers chums!

Who better than Bonita Taylor?

I'm glad someone got the joke!

You could get quite a sizeable bomb up close to an enemy tank etc in that kettle...

[jp1885]

Hehe now there 's an idea!

Great character

Unfortunately I haven't kept updated with VBCW happenings lately, so there are Valley Commandos? Just asking since I had already some early ww2 commando chaps for the unprofessional Welsh resistance in my own background fluff.

[jp1885]

I'm no expert, but I think it's a euphemism for a certain type of predatory Welsh female.

'Valley Commandos' is a modern nickname for the boys (and girls) who swoop in to Cardiff from the valleys towns and villages on a weekend to seriously hit the pubs and clubs. Basically they do so much damage that when they leave it's like there's been a military attack.

They may or may not wear underwear whilst doing it.

I just thought it was a nice little play on words for a VBCW force.
