Into the Time Vortex
Into the Time Vortex was a range of miniatures of Doctor Who characters produced by Warlord Games. Each set came with a variable number of miniatures, which came unassembled and unpainted.
The range was released along the role-playing game Exterminate!. Most releases included cards which could be used to integrate the characters into the game.
History
Into The Time Vortex was initially launched as a series of miniatures prefiguring an unreleased game tentatively titled "Into The Time Vortex: The Miniatures Game". However, when the game released in 2017, it was titled Exterminate!. Exterminate! cards for previously released miniatures were included in the box for the new game, and future releases of the original wave of releases included the cards.
In 2018, the series received two animated narrative trailers featuring Nicholas Briggs as the Daleks: Dare you enter the Time Vortex? and MAXIMUM EXTERMINATION. Also in 2018, the series received an official podcast which ran for a single episode.
The range faced production issues in the changeover to the Thirteenth Doctor's era, with some announced releases never being released. Warlord's license ended at the end of 2022. Several unreleased sets were sold in 2022 in promotional deals.[1]
