The Movellans have also arrived

With the recent appearance of the Daleks there was also a need for an adversary to oppose them. So meet the Movellans.

Group shot

Close-up

Closer still

The three miniatures in the image above are Warlord Games miniatures (at 32mm). All the others are from Black Tree Design Miniatures and are 28mm's in size. Black Tree Design Movellans come in two poses. But being pewter I gently bent the arms to create some slightly different poses than just the generic two. The Warlord Games miniatures are also pewter and have a lot of detail from the Destiny of the Daleks episode.

Above is a size comparison between the two manufacturers. As the Warlord Games miniatures are taller, and are modeled on the Commander and his two lieutenants, it makes sense to use them as leader figures on the game table. The Commander has black beads around his hairdo, the rest have all silver hairstyles. So the larger size helps to distinguish them on the table at a distance.

For the Doctor Who Miniatures Game the Commander will have Leader (2) and 2 Hits. His subordinates will both have the Leader (1) ability but a single Hit.


"Don't move shorty!"

"You're about this tall."
