Talons of Weng-Chiang
« on: 01 October 2010, 03:54:48 PM »
Recently voted the fourth best Doctor Who story ever, in which the Doctor is drawn into a fiendish plot involving Chinese tongs, disappearing women, an Oriental stage magician, a murderous ventriloquist's dummy and giant rats in the sewers.

There's gotta be a game in there somewhere...  :D

Lovely! The Talons of Weng Chiang is one of my favourite episodes of Doctor Who. Painting the minis got me interested in VSF!

It's always been pretty much my favorite- What were the first three?

(Nice painting on the figs, by the way... ;)).

Lovely work and definitely a great episode!

You'll have to find a really special mini to convey the terror of the giant rat to the table top!  ;)

Well, given how 'terrifying' the giant rat was on the TV, a plush glove puppet should just about do the trick!  lol

Thanks all for the comments. I could use some Chinese gang members now: any suggestions?
