New Doctor Who

I think Peter Capaldi will make a great Doctor. He's a great actor who can do 'gravitas' and has good comic timing. Not wanting to be ageist but I think a love interest with Clara will be off the cards.

What make of figures are these?

I have some 25mm SciFi figures which the oldest are at least over 30 years old and I no longer remember who manufactured them. The fish monster and the grey robot are much later additions 20 plus years ago. The older figures were purchased for me as a result of my pester power as a whipper snapper at Northern Militaire  at it's venue before Salford. I actually wanted the fantasy figures which were Greek hoplites and lizard men?, but my father knew I loved Star Wars so only agreed to buy the SciFi figures. I still remember the lecture that I shouldn't chew them, and I had to wash my hands after playing with them.

Anyway anybody know who made them? And if there were part of  game/ rule set?

Hail Caesar Britannia book

Managed to pick up my copy today from the Post Office having missed the delivery on Friday. I only got to glance at it today as it will be spirited away for my birthday. That glance allowed me to see that the book provides 2 campaigns, Caractacus and Boudicea. The pages that grabbed my interest were a list of the main tribes of Britain and suggested army make up and terrain to fight on. I also saw a list of the Roman units in Britain. I'm looking forward to reading the detail. The book is nicely laid out, with plenty of pictures and interesting factual asides to the main text. I could churlishly fault it for relying too heavily on Warlords own range of figures for the pictures, and perhaps not enough tabletop battle scenes, but I am not surprised and the pictures provided are excellent. I am not a fan of some Warlords exuberant figure poses, especially on the horsemen. I love their chariots, which I have in the lead mountain keeping a unit of slingers company. The only other fault is that my copy has some page damage caused by the spine bindings, but not enough for me to ask for a replacement.

Roll on my birthday so I can give it a proper read.
