Title: Risk: Invasion of the Daleks?
Post by: The_Beast on 31 December 2013, 05:47:42 PM

Has anyone picked this up yet (assuming it made its announced release)?

I'd REALLY like to see some piccies of the pieces, especially next to gaming figs.

Thanks in advanced.

Doug

From TMP (http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=330952) there's a good review here (http://panther6actual.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/dalek-invasion-earth.html).

Looks interesting but for 28mm the giveaways with Dr Who magazine look a better bet.

Thanks! For 315 tiny nasty little things screaming 'exterminate, exterminate', I'll be looking at other scales. I've a couple sets of seventeen of the larger fellows.

These look promising for 10-15mm.

... My girlfriend has gotten into doctor who big recently. We like playing boardgames together. I was looking for some 15mm daleks for my sci-fi games. (might tempt her into a game or two!) This might just be the thing then.

Anyone got any shots of the playing pieces then?

It looks like a pretty good game for getting DALEK miniatures. They certainly look like DALEKs even if they don't have the end fittings on their arms.

On a side note, does anyone still want those packs of 17 DALEKs from the comic? I still have a few packs.

I hadn't even heard of this!  I'm getting it.  Anyone know of release date here in the US?  It's not on Amazon (no pre-orders even).

Everything I've seen so far suggests it's exclusive to the one Brit bookstore. May be a bit of a wait.  :'(

Also, while I've said I can understand the cost, I'm not running up to pay it.

Edit: In the above review, there's a 'buy it here' link (https://forbiddenplanet.com/108799-doctor-who-risk-forbidden-planet-exclusive/#product-description). Listed as Risk (Forbidden Planet Exclusive).
