This is my WIP of a Time Lord warrior.
This unit was not actually in the TV program, the only troups from Gallifrey are the The Chancellery Guard who  were responsible for security and law enforcement on Gallifrey and were not Time Lords. In the rule system we will have the CG as basic troups and the Time Lord Warrior unit will be an elite squad of time lords (not the Doctor himself). They will be very Jedi-ish. Although I have no basis for them, I would have thought that during the time wars some Time Lords did actually have to fight. So here they are!

These guys arrived with us this week, so we'll getting Vulpine's mould done soon hopefully.  For a first attempt at sculpting, I think they look pretty good.  You can see who's who (!), the different races/peoples are easily identified, and once they're cast and painted, I think Vulpine's going to have a rather nice game sorted!

Thanks!

So now the nitty gritty is done we are planing to post up some Free PDF rules and some supliments for our Doctor Who Skirmish game, based mainly on the time wars. Hopefully you will all play the game and give us feedback on the rules and we can keep them as living rule books, all changing as we go on. Here is what our planned realises are;

• Ice Lord
• 5 Ice Warriors
• 3 Sisterhood of Karn

However none of the above is set in stone, I am doing the models and my good Friend 'Dim Reaper' is working on the rules. However I'm sure we can think of more campaigns based on exciting and  interesting time periods during Doctor Twos long life span. Lets also not forget the many other interesting races still missing, such as thr Sea-Devils/Silurians and Zygons and so far we have only touched appon the many interesting characters and Regenerations of the Doctor and surly no battle field would be compleat without Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart?

Hi Techno,

Thanks man,

For some reason I can't. When I did my Zulu table Leon managed to mod it and they came up direct.

What I may do is ask Leon with his superior camera and model taking skills to take a picture of the finished product.

Another thing I must tell you all about is the Doctor Who book "Warmonger"  a BBC Books original novel written by Terrance Dicks. It covers Borusa's (The Time Lord President for the five doctors and other TV episodes) but I mainly got it as it covers Morbious. In the fantastic episode "the brain of Morbious" it talks of himas a Renagade Time Lord who caused a grate war, but that's the last we see of it on the TV. This book is set during the wars "The Doctor then manages to persuade a number of Draconians and Sontarans to join his (Human) army.... As the campaign grows, Ogrons, Ice Warriors and Cybermen join the Doctor's forces".

It got a poor review for two reasons. First why has Perri become such a good Gorilla fighter.... she stuck on a war torn planet for a year, that changes a personality (look at the burger waitress sarah connor.

The other complaint is the Alliance and the odd mix... In my view its fine, there ain't no good and evil, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" and that's how it is.

So all in all I thought/think (I ain't quite finished the book yet) it was a really good book.

I've gone through and linked the pics direct in all the posts, so they should be visible now.

Damn good effort....especially for a first attempt V.
Did you bottle out of giving the Dalek any 'balls' in the end ? ;)
Wouldn't blame you at all if you did !
Cheers - Phil.

Vulpine

I wouldn't say bottle... Ok so I did, but the fact of the matter is, they would have looked worse not better.

Now, We have plans in the pipeline (see above)  for a second Dalek release, these will be recasts of the metal ones. As the metal will be an easier foundation to work on I may* try for a MK2 Dalek, that may have "balls"

However, at the moment I'm thinking about Morbious's monster, Speshial weapons Daleks (Daleks designed to kill other Daleks!)  and Sontarens!
