Title: Dr Who and the Mysterious Case of the Silver Knights
Post by: BaronVonJ on 30 July 2021, 02:27:37 PM: AS this crosses genres, I wasn't sure where to post this. But time travel seems to firmly sit in the SciFi realm, I thought this would be the place.
We wanted to show once again the versatility of the Fistful of Lead rules by crossing the new Horse & Musket 2nd edition rules with Galactic Heroes. What better way to cross the genres than with a certain time and dimension traveling Doctor?
The villagers of Little Tugwaddle have been disappearing since the mysterious Silver Knights started appearing. As they vanished, more of the seemingly invulnerable knights arrived. With the country embroiled in a Civil War the King's dragoons are sent to investigate. They are startled to find a stranger claiming to come from the future.
Once again go to field Bloody Miniatures wonderful troops vs some really old Black Tree minis.

It does indeed show the versatility of the rules crossing over genres and getting more use out of your miniatures. The Doctor Who back catalogue is actually a great resource for that sort of thing.

Post by: TripleBackflip on 02 August 2021, 06:53:07 PM: That looks like it was a fun game, I'm surprised by how well the Cybermen turned out, I just got the Mondassian ones because I thought it wouldn't look good if they were just a single shade of grey.

I've got a lot of the BTD Doctor Who minis, I should post them this week.

Post by: Macrossmartin on 05 August 2021, 02:34:02 PM: Absolutely lovely stuff! Thank you for sharing. Are those all old Citadel / FASA miniatures, or Black Tree?
Title: Re: Dr Who and the Mysterious Case of the Silver Knights
Post by: TripleBackflip on 05 August 2021, 07:09:42 PM: I'm pretty sure they're Black Tree, I have some of them but some others don't seem to be on the website. Adric seems to be in a different pose than advertised.

Harlequin/Black Tree/EOE Orbis seems to have some variants out and about, its very hard to figure out what the complete range might be. I have two nearly identical Sarah Janes, even wearing the same outfit I think.

That Adric and Leela look like Citadel though.

Post by: BaronVonJ on 06 August 2021, 12:30:07 AM: All bought from Black Tree many moons ago.

A lot of the Harlequin/Black Tree are available still, I bought a couple dozen a few months back from EOE Orbis (on eBay I think).
