From ClintB - 28mm Nurse Docherty to the Rescue (5 points)

Nurse Docherty was a formidable woman. In her youth as a young nurse on the wards she had waved her finger and told them to "Go away!" and it worked - the Mahdist horde left the hospital outside Khartoum and attacked the city instead. Ok there might have been a sign up in Arabic declaring the hospital was a Leper colony it is not entirely clear and over time the story changed. However Nurse Docherty was still a formidable women, no one crossed her. Well not twice and her frown was so fierce even spiders were scared. And her voice was so harsh it made even the onions cry! She was not a woman to be taken lightly by any means as she had the cure for most illnesses. No it was not to frighten the illness to extinction, although some said that might have worked. It was a trusty bottle of "Mind Bleach!" Nothing could stand up to the strength of the mind bleach! It was not the normal domestic use Mind Bleach but a special concoction. Not the type you drink, nor the type you rub into the scalp. No this was special. So special that when Nurse Docherty snapped on the rubber gloves and said "Drop them!" grown men would cry!  There was a problem on the Challenge ward but Nurse Docherty strode forth with medication in hand, her trusty mind bleach. She was ready. Nothing would stop her, and definitely not any upstarts disrupting the challenge.

Nurse Docherty will become one of the Albertines in my VBCW setting. She is a "Scarab Miniature" (More of them next week) and listed on the web site as a command figure but for me the uniform cried out Nurse travelling to the wards from the accommodation block. So I painted her in the grey uniform of the time with a deep red trim. The uniform is not perfect for a WW1 or interwar period, but as a wargamer it is close enough for me.

Yikes, what a stern lady! I think I'll avoid whatever hospital she's working at as I really don't fancy the idea of that special mind bleach delivery method.Nice work on Nurse Docherty - 5 points for you.
