The Wardens of History

 

Earth as we know it is threatened, but not now, in the past! Since the discovery of time travel and the translocation gene, you have been worried about the possible threats. Now those threats are being realised, and if the small team of specialists you have brought together can’t keep us safe, the world will suddenly change, and we will never realise it! This is a war, but one we never imagined, and the fight will take us throughout history, and even to alternatives we never imagined!

[These rules sprang from a desire to play a campaign against lots of different figures across history and the fantastical without creating a new rule set every time, or maybe it was just a good excuse to collect and paint a whole bunch of different figures, either is completely legitimate a desire I’m sure.]

The Translocation Gene is very rare so when anomalies are spotted a team has to be pulled together from the most appropriate group that can be found, including some general military types, as well as the specialists.

First up is our Warden, David “Sinjin” St John, a suave historian with a sardonic wit, who has been given a choice of three of the nine possible specialists currently available. Selecting carefully from the choices of Linguist, Inventor, Medic, Martial Artist, Weaponsmith, Sniper, Spy, Action Hero, and Archeologist he chooses the key members of his new team; Dr Margaret “Mags” Stanton (Medic), the enigmatic Tibetan “Tiger” Li (Martial Artist), and the tough guy Steve “Bruiser” Barnes (Action Hero).

The final six members of the team are their “security”, there to deal with the local hirelings who will be trying to defeat the Warden and his team before they can stop the timeline being broken by whatever nefarious plot is being cooked up by the adversaries. Lead by experienced traveller Aidan “Alpha” O’Brien, the rest are only known by their call signs, though Beta is a genial history buff and Zeta is a young and very raw recruit.

[These are all metal figures from Crooked Dice, I really like them for one-off figures, they also took on some of the Otherworld minis when he retired, you will have seen some in my Fantasy stuff.]
