Warlord Games Movellans
Just prior to Christmas, Warlord Games had a sale on their range of Doctor Who miniatures - buy two sets and get a third one free. This was too good an offer to pass by so I ordered the Movellans, Emojibots and Time Lords set. I finished painting them all last month and in this post I'm going to present the three Movellan figures.
Outwardly resembling humans of different ethnicities, the Movellans are androids from the star system 4X Alpha 4. Sporting long, silver dreadlocks, white uniforms and a conical gun, they are extremely strong. Each Movellan carries an external power pack round their belts; if this unit is damaged or destroyed, the android unit will cease to function. They have a strong code of honour, refusing to allow other species to see them in death. The Movellans are noted adversaries of the Daleks.
I can remember seeing them when they first appeared in the 1979 episode, Destiny of the Daleks and was immediately attracted to them. The white uniforms and metallic coloured hair very much reminded me of the female Moonbase personnel from Gerry Anderson's UFO TV series. Being such a big fan of strong female characters I like these miniatures a lot. I could well see them being useful characters to appear in my The Ace of Spades Campaign. This boxed set of three figures and six Exterminate! cards costs £13.00 from the Warlord Games webstore.

Great to see some more “Doctor Who” on your blog, Bryan, and some ‘Classic Who’ minis too. What paint/s did you use on their weapons please?
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Simon. These were an absolute joy to paint. The pistols were painted with the Foundry Nipple Pink triad 16A, 16B and 16C. The tips were painted with Foundry Arctic Grey Light (White) 33C.
DeleteNice work Bryan & would agree they are very UFO looking :)
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Frank. Seeing as "UFO" came out in 1970, I wonder if it inspired the costume designer of the Movellans?
DeleteGreat looking Movellans Bryan, agree they are very U.F.O looking which is not a bad thing at all
ReplyDeleteCheers, Dave. The seemingly obvious tie-in with "UFO" is no bad thing at all.
DeleteVery nice Bryan
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Andy.
DeleteNice job Bryan!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Simon.
DeleteAh, the "disco aliens"! Nice to see these figures, though I still worry that Warlord's range is not size-compatible with any of my existing 28mm figures and terrain.
ReplyDelete"Disco aliens" is a great description of them, Hugh. Yes, size-wise they are taller than 28mm scale figures.
DeleteI was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
My name is Olisa Blessing, I am so happy. I never believe I will be this happy again in life. I have worked as an air hostess ( cabin crew ) for 3years but early this year, I lost my job because of this deadly disease called Herpes virus (HSV).
ReplyDeleteI never felt sick or notice any symptoms. Not until the day all workers were asked to bring their current doctor's report card, that was how I got tested and I found out that I'm HSV positive and that made me lose my job because it was considered as an STD and is an incurable disease.
I was so depressed to the extent that I started thinking of suicide. I explained my situation to an older friend of mine, who often said to me 'a problem shared is a situation half solved.
She felt so mercy for me that she referred me to Dr. Utu Herbal Cure, that was how I contacted Dr. Utu and got the medication from him, and was cured for real.
I went back to my work a month later with a HERPES NEGATIVE test result. They were astonished and curious when they saw my HSV NEGATIVE result so they carried out another test on me in the company lab to be very sure and they found out I am indeed a HERPES VIRUS FREED PERSON.
Finally, the initial HERPES POSITIVE result was replaced with a new HERPES NEGATIVE test result, and my position was given back to me with an apology letter and a salary increase.
Beware of impersonators,
Dr. Utu can only be reached at:
