Well there you go! Those + the Cybermats that come with them + maybe 1 repainted or modded to make a Cyber-Controller/Cyber-Leader would make an awesome faction. Too bad the Missy is metal though.

And they released Strontium Dog! 28mm but metal.

I'm really interested in seeing a starter Doctor Who and I think you'd be a great LD. I have some more thoughts, but I just don't have the time to delve deep into it right now. Hopefully later this week!

Here's a guy discussing the Cybermen and Daleks in that set with some pics. They look pretty good.

Invisible Kid (Jacques Foccart)

Spoiler Alert!

NAME = INVISIBLE KID
SECRET IDENTITY = JACQUES FOCCART

SPECIES = METAHUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = LEGIONNAIRE
PERSONALITY = ???

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 3
DEFENSE = 4

POINTS = ???

LEGION ESPIONAGE SQUAD
If there is an unrevealed order marker on this army card, all Legionnaires you control with the Invisibility, Intangibility, Impersonate, or Tiny Stealth Special Powers may add 2 to their move numbers.

INVISIBILITY
Invisible Kid can move through all figures, is never attacked when leaving an engagement, and cannot be targeted by opponents' non-adjacent figures for any attacks or special powers that require clear sight.

FLYING

Agreed on adding Impersonate. I really love the soft synergy that tags various undercover powers!

[IAmBatman]

So this is loosely what I was thinking of for a First Doctor and subsequent Doctors:

REGENERATIVE ENERGY
Start the game with one blue Regeneration marker on this Army Card. After moving, instead of attacking, you may remove a Regeneration marker from this Army Card to remove all Wound Markers from this card or the card of an adjacent figure you control.

TIME LORD REGENERATION
You may draft The Doctor with any other Army Card for The Doctor. If you do, choose one to start on the battlefield and start the game with one blue Regeneration marker on the Army Card of your chosen Doctor. When The Doctor is destroyed, if the figure for this Doctor has not yet been placed on the battlefield, you may remove a Regeneration marker from the destroyed figure’s card, move any remaining Regeneration markers and Order Markers to this card, and place this Doctor on the battlefield in place of the destroyed figure, if possible.

So if my memory (and a wiki backing me up) are correct, Chameleon Boy, Invisible Kid I and II, Phantom Girl, Shrinking Violet, and Timber Wolf were all in the LES at some point. Timber Wolf is excluded here and honestly I’m fine with that. Technically, Invisible Kid I and Chameleon Boy founded the team, and Chameleon Boy led it, but I think it’s more than acceptable to give Invisible Kid II the synergy for the team because he was leader of the legion and even president of earth in one continuity. (Also I don’t think there’s a mini for the Lyle Norg Invisible Kid.)

I like it, I’m just worried about how much text it’ll be. That, combined with a sonic screwdriver on the Doctors that have them, only leaves room for 1 more power, right?

[Karat]

Well naturally, not all of them use their powers like that, so RE doesn't have to go on all of them, just when it makes the most sense

[MrNobody]

Yeah, the whole concept of regeneration “energy” is honestly more of a new series idea. But I could maybe see an 11 or 12 being able to heal others with their energy. Honestly I’d prefer a smaller regeneration ability that just lets you replace one Doctor with any other Doctor.

[Tornado]

I think RE only goes on the 1st Doctor and TLR goes on the others?
Sonic Screwdriver is text lite as the important stuff goes on the Glyph card.
That would leave you room for a third and if needed a fourth power.


EDIT: And I agree, RE does not really fit well on the first Doctor.
I would probably give him no regeneration.

Looks like he thinks the Warlord Games Cybermen are too big but the Daleks are OK.
Sounds like there are other options though from Games Workshop.
Except now I see those are from 1987 and super expensive.
