Another update for this thread ...

Thanks to a tip-off from General Biakal I discovered last week's issue of Doctor Who Adventures (#300) had free Daleks with it again ...



I'm aware that some of you may be a little annoyed at not being told this last when you could have rushed out and bought a copy or 5 - but don't blame me, blame Biakal for texting me this information at the time rather than posting it on the forum - and yes I could of posted it myself, but didn't have easy access to the internet at the time ...

Anyway - it's about time I talked the models themselves. I predicted further up the thread (scroll up and look) following the episode 'Asylum of the Daleks' the magazine has provided us with a plethora of different style Daleks from Dr Who history - yes that's right, as well as the 'iDaleks' I've picked up from previous issues this issue also included a bunch of proper Daleks!


 ^ There are in fact 2 minor variants of these, what I'm sure are intended to be the classic Daleks from the original series and ones with larger lights on the head which I assume represent the Eccleston/Tennant era Daleks, but could also be painted up to look like the Daleks from the 60's Dalek movies

The details on these are fair, but not brilliant - the slats (or virtual lack of them) are rather disappointing, but the rest of model is pretty good. These Daleks appear to completely different models from the Eccleston/Tennant era Daleks given away with the magazine in the past which I have mentioned previously in this thread.


 ^ As you can see, sadly these new Dalek models are the same height as the iDalek models and thus completely out of scale for 28/30mm - but might work well with larger scale miniatures (perhaps 35mm or 40mm)
