Warlord Games continue to flesh-out their range of models for the Doctor Who: Into The Time vortex range – with the Draconians and Vervoids joining the frey, two classic-series villains.

Also – for the first time, you can download exclusive PDF gaming cards for of the two sets of figures via the Into the Time Vortex site, so they are ready to be sent into battle in our Exterminate! miniatures game.

Draconians

Draconians

The Draconians are a race of reptilian humanoids encountered by the Third Doctor. Hailing from the planet Draconia, they are a formal, monarchy-led race, adhering to the rules laid down by their Emperor. The Draconians are tall with pointed ears, and are covered in scaly skin. Those they meet are greeted with the phrase, "My life at your command".

Draconians

The Draconian interstellar empire – large enough to rival Earth's – co-existed peacefully with our planet. Peace was almost shattered as The Master – a renegade Time Lord – and his Ogron henchmen hatched a plot to provoke a war between the two societies. This scheme was thwarted by the Doctor and his companion, Jo Grant.

Vervoids

Vervoids

Vervoids are humanoid plants, artificially created by human scientists for slavery. They are harvested in pods and have very short lifespans – growing and then decaying within a year.

They are capable of releasing gas from their mouth-like appendages and poisonous darts from their arm tendrils. Their bodies are covered in leaves – if these are placed in soil, new Vervoids can be created.

They saw their human creators as a threat, rebelling against them. Their attempts to kill all on board the galactic spaceliner Hyperion III failed, when the Sixth Doctor wiped them out by accelerating their photosynthesis rate, ageing them to death.

These welcome additions to our ever-growing range are available now, with each pack containing three pewter figurines.

We've been listening to feedback from the community, and all future releases for the Into the Time Vortex range should be released with accompanying cards so that they can be used in the Exterminate! game system as well!

We will also go back through the current catalog of Into the Time Vortex packs, and will provide downloadable cards for those to be used within the Exterminate! game as well – Huzzah!
