Way back at the beginning of the year I signed up to a Kickstarter for some 28mm VBCW "Ladies Who Lunch" figures from Tec Scene. I don't tend to do many Kickstarters and luckily they've always delivered, admittedly usually late, but the goods have always turned up.
This one gave me a few worries as there was a long period of radio silence until October when there was an apology from the company explaining that they'd had health issues but were now trying to get back on track. A good example of where a quick email would have saved a lot of angst. Luckily my figures turned up in late October but looking at the comments on the KS page it looks like there are still some outstanding orders
The figures themselves are pretty good. They're a range of armed 1940s style women, mostly rifle armed although there's a bren gunner, kne with a SMG and one with a pistol (and handbag). There are also a selection of women armed with assorted handweapons including meat cleaver, a broom and a rolling pin! These would be ideal for a 'Went the Day Well' scenario.
Various other figures had been added onto the KS including land girls with bows, polo players and armed Beefeaters, but I'd avoided these. I do think maybe the company over reached a bit and would have been better sticking to something more achievable.
The figures themselves are quite nice and ideal for a VBCW setting. These will see action for the 1st time tomorrow (which means they're guaranteed to run away!!) in a pre-xmas game at Eric the Shed's. I'll be fielding these along with my Armed Miners as a Women's Institute Battalion of Death.
