Another member of the team often overlooked, is the half-man-half-computer-brain that keeps the website and all the clever tech running, Tom.

I reckon Tom does dream of electric sheep. I reckon he closes his eyes and constantly has to remind himself:

They say you should add a “back story” to your miniatures, to “bring them to life” on the tabletop. I had the opportunity to design this miniature (Horatio Noseblower having designed the rest of the gang) so I thought I’d design him with a backstory in mind.

See, it’s a Friday night, it’s around 10pm and Tom is already on his way out to the local nightclub (that explains the hotpants and the dog collar at least). But he’s had a last-second call from OTT Towers – there’s a server down and nobody can access the latest weekender video! So Tom grabs his laptop, his futuristic no-brand Android tablet, rucksack filled with wires and test equipment and a dirty great big spanner to give something a whack, when all else fails.

Don’t let the shy demeanour fool you – they say it’s the quiet ones you need to watch…
