Dr Wh..wuh, what? How did they get...

Imagine my surprise when I came home and found these in the mailbox...

Yep... the Dr Hugh or "not Dr Who" minis arrived from Heresy.  That's Heresy Miniatures... you know, in England.  I placed my order Thursday afternoon and they arrive in Australia that Tuesday.  I can't get service like that locally.

The figures were packed well, actually better than well.  Each miniature was placed in the now standard ziplock bag but each bag was taped to the inside of the box.  The figures themselves look great and while there is a huge temptation to start painting them I must stay focused on the Pendraken stuff (some photos coming later tonight).  But they will get done soon.

To all at Heresy Miniatures: I tip my hat to you for such great miniatures and exceptional service.

Oh and it appears that more "Dr Hugh" are on the way, hopefully some companions.

The Doctor? Doctor Who?

I'm not sure how I can across this blog but if you like Dr Who then you'll want to visit An Evil Giraffe.  I was admiring his handiwork on the Black Tree Dr Who minis when I noticed these fellows below.

They're part of the Heresy Miniatures "not" sci-fi range.  You know they're "not" the ninth, tenth and eleventh Doctors, they're (left to right) Malcom Ecclescake, Nerdlord & Dr Hugh McCrimmon.  They just happen to look a lot like those other guys.  Whatever, it works for me.  I have no idea what rules I'll use them with as most of the skirmish sets I have a basically combat systems and that isn't the way the Doctor rolls.  Maybe Larger than Life by Two Hour Wargames or maybe a modified version of Fear and Faith by Ganesha Games.

Well since the guys above would need some evil plans to foil I started off with none other than 'Dr Masterson', Evil Scientist... ahhh I mean: The Master.

I'll have to get as much of the Pendraken stuff painted as I can as I can't see myself waiting to paint these when they arrive (7-10 they state on their website).

This purchase does lead me back to Black Tree Designs as they seem to hold the largest license of official Dr Who minis, but I'm not sure if I can handle the probably dissapointment.  I might have to keep looking for more "not" minis.
