I will be running it as a series of articles though, as an ongoing campaign (but lots to buy, plan, and do to make that happen, which will be worth a few articles in itself maybe).<br /><br />I wish I know more about Doctor Who.

I`m probably not just going to stick with the six freedom fighters and an arrogant portable computer 6+1 = 7: I really want to add a few of my own heroes to the mix as well (taking advantage of the fact there are other freedom fighting cells and lots of pirate gangs/crew out there). Otherwise it would be a big like playing D&D in Other Realms but only playing in that world using Drizzt and his friends as the heroes. The Amy Pond figures looks perfect to represent me in my scenarios.. oh gosh that sounds egotistical, a personality `me` figure in my games hehe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-27397093736891511642016-08-07T01:59:14.675-07:002016-08-07T01:59:14.675-07:00Hi T.

Of course Servalan is well aware of cloning having gone to Clonemaster Fen for two more copies of Roj Blake in "Weapon"; so don't forget there is still a living version of Roj running around :-) Plus in "Children Of Auron" Servalan herself was cloned, so there could easily be more of her running about - even if they were all purportedly killed in a weapons barrage.

Owning all the wonderful minis "Crooked Dice" produce is something of a problem, especially as they now do later versions of Blake, Avon, Vila, Servalan and Travis. I already have plans to paint up my second Travis and have the pair of them battle the Liberator's crew.

The Cardassian was interesting, possibly a lone operative of the Obsidian Order in a game. <br /><br />There is a chap over on the Pendraken Forum who can really paint the Fantasy zombies (some he's converted to Vietnam Zombies). I really like his blood effects on his paint jobs, but the sci-fi zombies I'm painting are smaller so I don't know whether a 'bloody' look would work on my figures - something to test, next time I get back to painting them.
