Dalek OOB - Help Needed

[anevilgiraffe]

oh, and Dalek Mutants would not be unit on their own... they are a product of a destroyed Dalek casing.

also, no Dalek in the classic series was red, command Daleks were black or gold. Saucer commanders had alternating coloured panels on the skirt and Emperor's guard had black domes.

Don't forget 'invisible Daleks' from their military experiments on Spiridon in "Planet of the Daleks". Good news is everyone can add these to their table-top army for no extra cost    Damn, where did I put mine again?

Hadn't seen the Second Empire before.
Some useful looking illustrations, but the humour is a bit ham-fisted for my taste.

Agreed.  Followed it for the pretty renders of Dalek tech, not for the writing.

Got a few snaps of Benny's existing Daleks on Saturday:



I'm told more campy SF nonsense is on its way soon!

The art is great though some of the Dalek colour schemes are 'interesting'. The ideas are actually pretty good in the main though the humour and dialogue can grate. I'm about three or four books in (lost count) and it's a bit like what the Daleks would have been if they'd retained their emotions, which I guess is the concept behind it. It's surprisingly fun despite the regular pop culture references that aren't so much shoehorned in as smashed in with a sledgehammer. I like the fact that it has given me favourite Dalek characters

Hello all, its my Dalek army that's being rebuilt. Thanks Hat Guy for starting this (I don't get on the net all that often).
After a little bit of a clean up and reorganising I have 3 squads of 10 Daleks. Grey with black bumps, grey with blue bumps and Black with silver. I'm thinking of using the black ones as an elite unit or with the spare I have as unit leaders for the other squads.
I have converted 8 into heavy weapon Daleks, 4 classic energy weapon ones and to spice it up a little 4 with some sort of Gatling cannon, I know its not cannon but I just saw Death to the Daleks and they had machine guns
I also have 6 of te new I daleks, while I never liked the new show or the new look they are forming the basis for some heavy armoured Daleks, maybe they operate in 0 atmosphere or something??
Ogryns are coming soon too, but at the moments, working on a floating troop carrier. Kinda like the one man discs but enough to transport many Daleks or some supplies.
I know not all this is cannon, but I'm trying to make the army into something useable as a regular army. So while some of the stuff isn't strictly "Dalek as seen on TV" I'm trying to keep the feel of the classic stuff.

Hey folks, Benny's put the Daleks aside for the moment, but we'll see the finished horde before too far into the new year. As some may have noticed, I've kind of backed off on my Saurians as well, as the final version of Firefight is due shortly and I'm not keen to rebuild half the army to match new lists.

So what's going on? Well, I had an idea related to the Dalek army and wanted to get it all down and get some feedback from you fine folks. Someone on this board (I forget who sorry) mentioned that GW Tyranid Spore mines would make good Rutans and I was thinking that the Asterian list from Warpath (essentially a combination of infantry robots and drones) would be something I could have a bit of fun with, modeling-wise. So why not investigate the idea of doing a Rutan army using the Asterian list?

Right, so what I need for the Asterians are a variety of visibly different spore-mine like creatures to fill the roles of drones, infantry, elite infantry and small vehicles, maybe one or two "big" vehicles. A quick look on Google gave me these GW and FW examples:







There's this from Antimatter:



Any other ideas?

There was a red Dalek in the Dr Who movies with Peter Cushing.

There were, but the AARU productions aren't in the TV Who universe, if that's what Hat Guy wants to work with.

Well the movie Daleks did appear in a couple of New episodes - but I'm aware that Hat Guy is not counting anything 'New Who'.

Depending on whether you include Paul Mcgann as old Who or not, would this count as 'Expanded Universe'? From the 'Children of the Revolution' comic strip.
