Figures but no rules to go with them…? and what is the scale…..?

Tango0113 Nov 2016 3:05 p.m. PST

Cannot help you my friend…
The scale would be 28mm (?)

Have to wait…

The scale is not 28mm, they are 32+mm. Warlord have deliberately made them out of scale to force people to only buy their products. Their time would have been better spent finding a decent sculptor for their DW range.

Oh dear, Mirosav – another assumption about our Doctor Who range with foundations set on little more than thin air.

Our figures are that size for an entirely different reason – they are true scale representations of the subject matter rather than the big-headed, ham-fisted wargames standard figures we are all so used to. As a result, to make such fine miniatures cast well and retain some semblance of strength they need to be a little larger.

You are still free to buy rip-off 'not' Doctor Who figures if your conscience so allows, although taking the moral high ground might be a harder proposition then…

Paul at Warlord Games I have a question for you regarding your Doctor Who range of figures.

Do you intend to make figures covering characters from all the Doctor Who series or just the most recent ones?

Paul at Warlord Games Sponsoring Member of TMP14 Nov 2016 8:37 a.m. PST

Hi Captain Gideon,

Our licence is for all of the TV shows so expect to see the Second Doctor, the Zarbi, Kraal, Raston Warrior Robots, Leela (mmm, Leela…), Sea Devils, etc.

We're actively working on many sculpts for the older series with lots of them at BBC approvals stage…

Well I like the figures. Given the size of some 28mm figures, will the 4mm difference be that noticeable on the table? Given that you forget that you've seen the Silence, how are the rules going to cater for them?

The what?

soulman14 Nov 2016 10:22 a.m. PST

I really need to see a standard size Dr who figure next to a standard 28-32mm or whatever we are using… ie,next to a bolt action of gates of Ant of course..

If the scale is well off,i have to use warlords rules and not warlord figures…. hope the rules are better then project z..giggles

soulman14 Nov 2016 10:23 a.m. PST

website says 38mm…. not 32mm

10 looks like somebody cosplaying as 10. Others look fair to middling on the accuracy front, but the posing is uniformly wretched. Did the BBC demand that they all look so boring, or are these your own designs from the get go?
