Warlord Set Up New Doctor Who Miniatures Game Website
November 5, 2016 by brennon
Warlord Games have set up a new website which is dedicated to following the production of the miniatures and more for the Doctor Who game they have planned. Their first look centred around a sneak peek at the card designs...
Unit Card based design is always good to see and it should hopefully mean the game is easy to pick up and play with all of the rules there on the cards.
We also got an update on the way the Daleks are looking for the game too...
It looks like they will come as three piece models where you have the two side portions of the model matched with a front section. It's not quite as detailed of a kit as I had thought but it does mean it's simple for folks to put together.
I wonder if any Doctor Who fans will be drawn to the tabletop by this?
What do you think?

I was a huge who fan but eventually got put off about 3/4 of the way through Matt Smiths run. Not my favourite doctor and started disliking the direction the show runner was going in.
However, plastic who baddy kits are just going to hit the spot for me. I’ll be very interested in these and improved sculpts moving forward. Hopefully we will get plastic cyber men too!
This feels a bit late to me.
The show is OK, it has its moments but I’ve struggled to really get into it much the last two doctors. Maybe they should just give it a rest for a while.
My nephew would have loved this about 8-10 years ago.
Another not keen on recent Doctor Who, but tempted by the thought of the older series models.
I could see myself happily doing the Tom Baker era as a campaign (showing my age I guess)
On the subject of Tom Baker era, the sadist in me wants”BBC strike, game ends immediately” as an event card 😉
LOL why can’t I give you more thumbs up? You made me cry from laughter.
With all due respect to the fine actors that played him, Tom will always be my Doctor. If they are sticking with the same number of companions for the 4th Doctor, I’m hoping for them to be Sarah Jane Smith, Harry Sullivan, K-9 and Leela. If they do, I’m in!
I wished those Daleks could turn their heads/turrets or whatever that top half is called.
.
I’m not sure about this yet. I’ll wait to see more, especially rules.
Interesting to see the model scale on the website given as 38mm, so larger than the normal Warlord Games fare.
Scale could have been a bbc contract stipulatin for all we know
Sounds plausible; as I recall the reason GW sculpted the LotR range in 25mm truescale was because it was part of the deal with New Line for the rights.
I really don’t need any more Daleks but I would buy some, and the other models, if they were available on this side of the pond.
I like the Who-verse. I liked the Christopher Ecclestone and David Tennant series, but aswith others my interest trailed off with the 11th and12th. Found the stories too … girly? Soppy? Politically correct? Notsure how to describe it, but there was not enough derring do and too much romance for my taste! So a game with good models sounds fun. I’ve collected quite a view over the years from the Not-Doctor-Who ranges of Crooked Dice and so on. Will be nice to add to them and find a game that is fun (tried the Crooked Dice one, which was OK,… Read more »
Awesome, I’m not a dr who fan but I love daleks so will probably buy a ton of these to do that dalek army iv always wanted. I used to love the dalek empire comics (and the fanmade second empire!) so will prolly do something inspired by those.
“Exterminate all humans!”
I’ll be looking forward to the atom Baker set as well but damn going to have to get me a bucketload of those Daleks. Not perfect which they would rotate as well but good enough I guess.
So, will they have a U.N.I.T. unit card?
they look good but the head not turning is a downer.
further disappointments with this range. Daleks, by design, are static. Sculpting the miniatures so as you cannot rotate the heads only emphasizes this issue.
38mm also means that this miniatures wont be compatible with any other ranges I own.
As a massive Doctor Who fan, I continue to be let down by this game
Hmmm, I wonder if I could finagle an all Dalek crew for Frostgrave….
Prestidigitate!!
Love watching Dr Who, Started watching it back when Jon Pertwee started. Then come Tom Baker, and i never missed an episode from either of them. Later on i caught up with the William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton season`s, when Peter Davison come along i lost interest and never watched another episode until Christopher Eccleston, and i have not missed an episode (fingers crossed) to date. Just waiting for Peter Capaldi`s next season to start, i`m looking in to the game and like what i have seen so far.
Shit I did not see the scale rating…38mm…..mmmmmm
I think that`s stopped me for buying even the starter box set….. fools………….
Disappointing how the Dalek minis are put together. I can accept that it might have been too fiddly to have posable eyestalks, guns and plungers, but you’d have thought it’d have been natural to have the domes seperate. In fact I’d have expected them to be in four parts – left and right halves of the ‘hull’, a ring where the weapons and ‘neck’ are and a dome.
Same as others was really tempted at a few of the alien races, but at 38mm absolutely no point, so won’t bother……shame.
And at 38mm the details are pretty sh*te
Is it 38mm or is that just a typo?
Thought they were originally saying about being able to use some of their historical minis range along with the game
38mm ? What are they thinking this is going to kill this before it even starts, like others I already have a collection of who minis and wanted these as add ons plus the game if it was ok. The scale fecks that right up. I’m really disappointed as I was looking forward to this .
Pleased its not just thats not happy with the 38mm scale issue too…need to see one next to a 28-32mm figures to get a real understanding of difference, but you guys seem unhappy too…
Dear all… after writing on warlords forum about the sad news that the new doctor who website is reporting the size of the figures to be…38mm is incorrect… Rich at warlord has been informed of this and it is indeed wrong, and that they are indeed sculpted at 28mm scale. I`m guessing after going back in time to fix the error,that daleks will line up the person that created the error and do what they do best……………..
All I see here are alternative Necron models. Mwahahahahaha…
Hmm, perhaps my metal Daleks can fight the inferior plastic uprising!

The 38mm scale will probably kill the game for many. Too big for my terrain, and too big for all the minis I already have. If they put out a Tom Baker mini, I’d buy that separately, for display, but that’s about all that appeals at that scale.
