| "I take it you've met my...associate..." |
Following on the heels of my last post, I present Lady Winterly, modern sorceress, and her magical construct, Mr. Mangel.
Admittedly, I'm veering into Modern Gothic Horror here - but I don't wish to start Yet Another Blog. To my way of thinking, this is just a step away from Doctor Who, and in fact I will probably tie the two together so my conscience stops bothering me.
Lady Winterly is the scion of Winterly Grange, a manor and village in a remote and somewhat backward unnamed shire in England (but probably Wiltshire). Lady Winterly is an adherent to the Old Law, and rules her modern demense with the power of Nature and the Elements.

I need to make another attempt at her right eye - it looks as though she's had a round with Mr. Winterly. The miniature for Winterly is available through Crooked Dice. Even comes with a little corn dollie to use as a talisman, or to sell to curious tourists.
Next is Mr. Mangel, her ladyships golem-like enforcer, and is raised using arcane magic to deal destruction to Lady Winterly's foes. I was at a loss for what miniature to use, having visited Reaper's Chronoscope line as well as one that sells witches and scarecrows (but neglected to post enough pictures to cover the range) without a satisfactory result.
The project was headed towards the back of the workbench when a chance conversation with an old game friend brought Malifaux's The Carver miniature to my attention (thanks Cam!). I bought the miniature on the spot - despite it having giant scissors for hands.

I actually resisted the urge to glue a dis-corporated 28mm head, rolling at his feet - Megz thinks I need professional help as is...Ω

Very nice. I like Mr Mangle very much. I could see these appearing in a Doctor Who game with no problem. Not sure just what 7TV is? (or was)
Hi Bill,
7TV is a game by Karl Perron and Graeme Dawson at Crooked Dice Games - Graeme wrote the Doctor Who Miniature Game you probably played at Travellercon. 7TV is a further development of those rules - with 7TV, various 60's and 70's themed TV shows can be re-created on the Table Top.
There's a heavy nostalgia, especially for me, as I remember sitting with my dad, watching "The Prisoner", "Man from UNCLE" or "UFO" (or even "Charlie's Angels").
It's a difficult genre to place, although Spy-Fy covers some of it, it seems as "Pulp" is waning during the run-up to the 60's, I'm not sure what to call it.
