TYPES OF THE VBCW (3) - THE VICAR

 An occasional series of painted 28mm VBCW archetypes.

Every VBCW game needs an Anglican Vicar - good natured, somewhat bumbling, intimately concerned with his local community - and not necessarily a strong believer in the Almighty. In the course of the VBCW, many of the Church of England's "muscular Christians" served with the Anglican Field Armies, but this still left a substantial number looking after their 'flocks' in local parishes. Here is a lovely 28mm example:

"Revd Green" 
Copplestone sculpted, unknown painter.\

Although sculpted by Mark Copplestone back in the early 1990s, "Revd. Green" is not sold by Copplestone Castings. Originally, he was a "playing piece" for the Waddington's Cluedo "Super Sleuth" game (1996 edition), and then at some point (but no longer) became available via EM-4 miniatures. Still, good examples can still be found via Ebay, whether by buying the game itself (which comes with a number of very useful VBCW type figures) or by looking for individual "replacement pieces".
