Arise Angria! Just add my Bronte ImagiNations flag design of a rising sun on red background You can see this dual flagging in use here, saving time, storage, figures and painting costs: Their tragic deaths at a relatively young age meant they were all dead ten years before the American Civil War. The Bronte sisters and Branwell grew up in an age of conflict in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, during a young Queen Victoria’s expanding Empire and Charlotte living up to the Crimean War.

With this flag these are classic Airfix ACW confederate infantryĪdding Bronte ImagiNations command or character personality figures means that with some simple dual flagging, a Napoleonic or Colonial 19th Century unit instantly becomes an ImagiNations one. I think that Bronte figures would be excellent figures – and even better if there was a set in ImagiNations uniforms and a shadow set as they were in real life portraits, always useful as Early Victorian Civilians.ĭual Use figures – saves costs, extends their play value and their potential market of buyers, as well as the Haworth Yorkshire tourism, the Bronte Fan and literary market worldwide. You can see an example of such pages of Isabel’s work here on the interesting US based Solrad comics website:Īnnie Norman’s Bad Squiddo figures are usually 28mm.

I loved Isabel Greenberg’s drawings of these four Brontes in the same Regency / early Victorian costumes as their ImagiNations characters. The fragments that have survived of these ImagiNations as we have mentioned before in Bronte posts are somewhat confusing but I found that Isabel Greenberg’s charming graphic novel version Glass Town straightens or smoothed many of these story and character fragments out. These have been a great stimulus for my gaming to continuing or exploring these sketched out but sketchy Bronte ImagiNations I thought of the Bronte Sisters (and brother Branwell) who were pioneering Role Playing Gamers in the 1830s through their juvenile fictions or ImagiNations of Glass Town, Gondal and Angria, inspired by a gift of some wooden toy soldiers.
