Doctor Who Project

Well, I have felt the need recently for a more light hearted project where I am not trying to build big armies or paint a whole load of figures. Pressures in other parts of my life have led me to want a more relaxing game to work on. So I am pleased to announce my Doctor Who project!

I have written a 3 player scenario which will involve a search for an alien artifact, the rescue of hapless civilians and the presence of multiple non-player game-controlled alien forces. In short, chaotic and fun. I'm using the full event deck from the miniatures game, but also a scenario specific event deck of my own nefarious devising. It will all be kicking off big style. At least, that's the idea!

But let's start off slow... A couple of orders from Black Tree have arrived and I thought I'd start off small (sorry for the poor lighting):


K-9 will be one of the companions the Doctor player can select at the start of the game. Which Doctor? Well, let's just say I have selected a series of companions appropriate to my chosen Doctor, of which K-9 is just one.

Next up a few more Weeping Angels, from the Doctor Who Adventures Magazine, who may or may not be making an appearance in the game:


I'm a bit happier with these than my previous effort, but that might be due to basing them differently...

Finally (and randomly illuminated by flash...).... maggots from the story The Green Death:


And where are these from? Well, I searched far and wide for my perfect maggot...



Whoever Frank Warwick is, his fake maggot endorsement sold me on these bad boys. They are dead squishy, but paint up okay I think. Plus they actually scale pretty well with 28mm figures, looking similar to this:



So these maggots may be making an appearance in my game as well....

That's all for now, but stay tuned as there is plenty more to come.

  1. All: Depending on how I view this post, one or both of the last two pictures are not visible. It might be because I copied and pasted them instead of uploading them normall. Let me know if you can't see them and I will correct this.

    Thanks

  3. Nice to see some classic Who episodes referenced on the table top. I used to have a sizable Harlequin Dr Who range back in the '90s. Your work tempts me into buying up some more!

    Keep up the good work.

  4. Thanks! I was thinking of a way to fit Azal in too, but thought it might be pushing things a little! Looking forward to building my collection and playing through some of the classic Doctor scenarios.
