Warlord Heat Up Doctor Who With The Fires of Pompeii Pack
June 13, 2018 by dracs
The Doctor has been involved in many historic events, but none quite as explosive as the eruption of Vesuvius, which Warlord are bringing to the tabletop in the Fires of Pompeii Episode Pack.
The set brings a Sibyline Soothsayer, the transformed Sibyline High Priestess, and the imposing alien Pyrovile, working together to form a new challenge to the Doctor.
This episode from the David Tennant era saw the tenth Doctor and his companion Donna, played by Catherine Tate (best companion ever!) wrapped up in an alien conspiracy surrounding the eruption, calling into question the Doctor's own role and responsibility in history.
It also features an important meeting...
The Fires of Pompeii is one of my favourite episodes from Tennant's run (Silence in the Library wins), so I'm interested to see how this episode pack takes it to the table.
Which Doctor Who story do you most want to see?

Humm I think the world library would have made a better story game or the traffic jam one ?
silence in the library is, in my opinion, the greatest story of Moffat’s entire run on the show.
While those are nice I wish that had chosen better story to make minis from.
I’m gonna have to disagree with you on the best Companion @dracs – for me it’s Rory. And surprised you didn’t peg Jamie as the best come to think of it. 😉
Jamie’s great, but a bit of an idiot, whereas Donna is someone you really see evolve as a character.
Rory for me just died a bit too often. I mean was he wearing a red shirt under those scrubs? It practically became an eye-roll moment each time it happened.
I wouldn’t say Jamie’s an idiot persay, just not book smart, and he just looks dumber because he’s hanging around with the Doctor and Zoe for most of his run who are both highly intelligent and thus the contrast is stronger.
For me Rory dying so often is part of the appeal of the character, combined with his world weariness/genre saviness about it. 😉
I really like these!
