Cybermen

Cybermen were a “race” of cybernetically augmented humanoid. They varied greatly in design, with different factions throughout time and space. The two major groups, from which all other known versions derived, were the Mondasian Cybermen, which originated on the planet Mondas – Earth’s twin planet in the Doctor’s Universe – and the Cybermen created by Cybus Industries, which originated on Earth in an alternate universe.

They attacked Earth on many occassions, providing a lot of potential for gaming scenarios.

Back in the 1990s Harlequin Miniatures produced a licensed range of 28mm metal miniatures and I have three Cybermen. They are Mondasian Cybermen from the original series rathe than the new versions that arrived on our screens in 2006.

The first thing I did was to “cement” the models to their bases using some Green Stuff.

Third Series Confirmed

The BBC have confirmed that there will be a third series of Doctor Who, even before the first is finished and the second has started filming.

With two christmas specials as well, there are going to be twenty-eight new episodes of Doctor Who to look forward to.

Sadly Chris is leaving after Saturday’s episode, but Billie will be in all of series two, and the new doctor is David Tennant.
