VBCW FARMERS (4) - MARLBROOK AGRICULTURAL MILITIA

As a vast array of Anglicans and Bromyard Republicans descend upon the Cadbury's Factory at Marlbrook, Sir Charles Tite-Wadde, Bt., leader of the Combined Corporate Guards, has persuaded the local farmers and tenants of Marlbrook to lend him their support:

Farmer Albert Fruitful, Leader of the Marlbrook Agricultural Militia, with his HQ Section -
Allan, his No.2 (with elephant gun), a standard bearer, two "runners", and
acting as a nurse and medic, his niece, Luscious, with her "pail of healing herbs".

No.1 (or "Green") Section, Marlbrook Agricultural Militia

No.2 (or "Black" Section) Marlbrook Agricultural Militia

No.3 (or "Blue" Section) Marlbrook Agricultural Militia

No.4 (or "Red" Section) Marlbrook Agricultural Militia

HQ and Infantry Contingent, Marlbrook Agricultural Militia.
Sir Charles Tite-Wadde, Bt. has promised Farmer Fruitful "the best
of heavy weaponry" from Corporate Guard Stores - AT Element,
Mortar or MMG, Tank or "Big Gun"- thereby making the Militia
a full Platoon under "Went the Day Well" rules.

28mm Notes:

(HQ Section) Farmer Fruitful is an old boardgame piece obtained from EM-4 Miniatures; the standard bearer and runners are Old Glory ACW from the spares box, "Allan with Elephant Gun" is a Wargames Illustrated Giants in Miniature figure (Allan Quatermain), "Luscious with pail of healing herbs" is an old plastic Britains/Herald 30mm figure from an Ebay joblot - see HERE.

(Infantry Sections) All (apart from Section Leaders) ACW figures from EM-4 Miniatures, painted and slightly converted versions of the "cheep plastic" miniatures originally featured HERE. Section Leaders (with shotgun) are venerable Britains/Herald 30mm farmers - see HERE. Four infantry sections, or 40 figures, for a about a tenner - and painted to be "flexible" for future games - Black Section as BUF Rural Militia, Blue Section as Anglicans, Red Section as Communists, and Green, ummm....well, rural types in support of any faction.
