Your Life May Depend on This...

Don't blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you can believe. Don't look away, don't turn your back, and don't blink!
Good luck,
-The Doctor

The Weeping Angels, the most deadly life-forms in the universe... statues until you look away, or even blink...
These are from the BBC television show, Doctor Who, and are among the Doctor's most dangerous enemies- and my favorites. While no official Weeping Angel miniatures exist as yet, Doctor Who Adventure Magazine ran a freebie pack of monsters from the series with one of their issues, some of which, including the Weeping Angels, are scaled almost perfectly for 28mm wargaming.

They are molded out of a rubbery eraser-like plastic and flash is a pain to remove, but well worth the effort, as they paint up really well. I have six total, three of which are left to paint.

This sculpt, in particular, looks really sharp as is well shown by the wings and back of the robe. It was a simple, enjoyable paint job, base coat followed by a medium and light grey dry-brushed on and then the same light grey used for highlights and touch-ups. An overall coat of Army Painter soft tone was applied to add depth and a bit of weathering.

This sculpt is by far my least favorite, the arms are way too small for the body - but it's still an Angel!
These will see plenty of service in both true Who games and in Frostgrave as constructs. With all six I need to make a Maze of the Dead scenario for one of my favorite episodes, The Time of Angels.

The Angels have the Phone Box!
