From SimonG: Vlogsphere ... Medieval Bureaucracy or the True Story of the Peasant's Revolt (45 points)

The scene – East Kent, the road to Maidstone 4pm Thursday 24th May 1381. 

Walter Tayler and his young French wife Genevieve are returning home after a busy day trading at the market in Canterbury when they are stopped by the Dominican Friar and parish tax collector, Father Cummins, with his bailiff Sir Boris Johnstone ...

Two weeks later first fatality in Kent of the Peasants revolt occurred as the people of Kent “made their chief one Watt Teghler of Maidstone” and instigated the Great Revolt of 1381!

Although the dates and events are historically correct we cannot be sure that Walt (about whom there is precious little known) was actually stopped by a tax man ... and as to what Boris had in mind, hmm parallels with recent events?

Anyway this little vignette demonstrates that taxation and bureaucracy have always been with us. It uses Wargames Foundry figures and I hope you enjoyed it

Five 28mm figures (four people plus the ass) should be good for 25 points plus the 20 point bonus for a stop off on Vlogsphere makes 45. Next stop Coruscant and some Imperial Romans!

Haha! Well done Simon. A little bit of social/political commentary is good for the soul (and I find it interesting that it is the ass that suggests the 'exit'. :))

A wonderful vignette, finely painted and artfully based.  Question: What did you use for putting together the comic book panels?
