Can anyone tell me how well the Black Tree Dr Who figures fit in with other ranges ? Especially Warlord plastics and Ironclad ? TIA

Well enough, some of the minis are too close to,the they look as naff as the originals. More plausible aliens and doctors are good

They are a bit crude by today's standards, and have limited poses for figures you would want a few of. I'd go for the Crooked Dice 'Not Who' minis, or wait for the official Warlord range. I'm not knocking them particularly, and it might be a while before Warlord release Kraal figures, but I'm waiting myself.

If only the Warlord figures were better….those huge heads kill them for me.

The Crooked Dice ones are much nicer, but as you say the Blacktree range has all the monsters. That's why I'm asking about mixing them. And of course, the earlier doctors are much more interesting.

I can't provide a comparison to the figure lines you mentioned, but the majority of the figures used in this AAR: TMP link Are Black TreeDoctor Who miniatures, supplemented by some Grenadier Future Skirmish. Generally speaking, they are slightly smaller than the current "28mm", but not small enough to be 25mm. Hope that helps.

The Warlord Who range has yet to be revealed in any form as far as I'm aware, so I'm not sure where the 'huge head' thing comes from. It might suit the Sixth Doctor though!

The Warlord Who range has yet to be revealed in any form as far as I'm aware, so I'm not sure where the 'huge head' thing comes from. Warlord figures in general, rather than anything Who specific, which, as you say, have not been produced yet.
