From MattT: Workers of the World Unite - VBCW

Over the last painting challenge my brother has been showing his collection of royalist forces for VBCW, and i thought it was time you saw what he is going to be facing.

This first group is a bit of a cheat as i didnt paint them in the time the blog has been live, but they are all post Covid-19 so im counting them and showing them off.

Sailors on the HMS Aurora docked at Hull have mutinied and renamed the ship Unity. They have managed to unearth an old armoured car for moral support and are ready to fight for their freedoms.

Since the challenge began properly i have managed to add a pair of pulp sailors to the crew. Figures from Artizan Designs Thrilling Tales.

The Workers of the East Riding have raised the banner, and men are flocking to the cause as we speak. Figures from Sloppy Jalopy miners set. Banner is a cut and paste job from images off the internet.

All the best, Stay Safe. Matt

  3. Great painting Matt - or should I own up and say brother. Did I give you that armoured car as a pressie last Christmas? Great painting job! Wish I had left out the mounted machine gun though as that looks nasty. Still my armed Police and Territorials have been reinforced by 303 armed Schoolboys painted in the Challenge this year, so we are ready and waiting for the first clash !

    Bring it on ..... Cheers Jez

  4. What a great looking mob and that AC is a cracker. My favourite is the banner team though.

  6. Really love that banner. Trades Union banners are really colourful and interesting, I remember admiring them at marches I’ve seen in London in the past few years

  8. Awesome work. AVBCW seems so characterful as a setting with loads of cool options. Your rogue sailors and armoured car fit right in.
