I remember those plastic Daleks and Cybermen. They were made by Games Workshop years and years ago. I used to go to GW in Birmingham (the old one in the Bull Ring). In those days you could buy things not actually made by them in there, too. All sorts of RPGs and supplements, and they had a bargain bin filled with wondrous precious things. Another world when you think about it.

I remember looking at that boxed set, and thought "I must get that one of these days". Must have walked past that shop countless times and put off getting it every time. Never did get it, and of course it then went OOP.

Damn! Damn! What a bloody fool am I!

Don't Sweat It Poly, they were very small by today's standards. The Cybermen would be unusable with any modern figures.

Plynkes- Do you know what are the contents of the box for the Invasion earth game?
I have looked on the Black Tree Design website and the game is showing up as being on offer for circa £10.

But it does not give description of the box contents.
It sounds like great value for money, considering most of the packs of figures are £19.99 for 6 figs.

The contents of the box that I bought:

The Rule book
6 UNIT troops
4 Daleks
Blast and fire arc/movement templates ,
Some flimsy cardstock building ruins (which are still sitting untouched in the box)
A couple of D6s
And I think an errata sheet.

Bear in mind that I bought the original Harlequin game when it first came out. I have no idea if Black Tree have changed the contents or not since taking over.

Plynkes- Thanks for that. If the contents are still as described its a bargain.

Malamute,
The contents are still the same and at just over £10.00 you can't go wrong!!!!
I've just ordered the rules set and about £100 of figures, all thanks to this post................Cheers! :

It's funny, I painted up those Doctor Who figures years ago, we played the game twice and then it was all forgotten until now. It was the combination of the young 'un coming to stay (and wanting to play something) and the Daleks being on this week's Doctor Who that made me go and dig out all my old stuff.

Now I'm completely back into the idea of Who gaming, so much so that I, like you chaps, have been greedily eyeing up the the Black Tree site. I'm gonna get some more Daleks (I want four of each of my favourite colour schemes), and some Sontarans too. What else, I'm not quite sure, but loads of those figures will make interesting quirky characters for any kind of Sci-Fi game.

I am going to have to exercise some serious restraint if I'm to avoid a huge credit card bill next month!

Plynkes,
Do you know about these totally free Dr Who rules? They cover everything up to the 10th Doctor, with absolutely tonnes of stat cards etc.
Really worth a look for any Who fan!

I wasn't totally aware of them (but I haven't really been on a Doctor Who kick until this week, so they may have been floating around the periphery of my consciousness), but some kind soul on TMP pointed them out to me yesterday.

Yes, I'm such an attention-whore that I linked to my blog on TMP, too. Hope the Lead Adventurers don't think I'm betraying them!

But it don't hurt to be told twice. Thanks for that. Haven't had a real good look yet, but I plan to.

Guys, What about Matakishi's Alien Invasion rules. I have been looking at them on his Blog today?

Now the decision has to be do I go for the Black Tree Design UNIT figures and have that retro 70's look or, as Matakishi did go for TAG modern Brits as UNIT. Such decisions! :

:

And Whilst Jon Pertwee was my favourite Dr I am definately going to use my own Dr Who figure representing David Tennant. He is being cast up at present so anyone that wants one, let me know.

matakishi · « **Reply #26 on:** April 25, 2007, 06:13:35 PM »

I want one!

Malamute · « **Reply #27 on:** April 25, 2007, 06:35:48 PM »

Matakishi, you name was already on my list ! (you just didnt know that!) :
