The second episode of
Dr Who, you had to be there. Zoom on to now and you have the
excellent Dalek Second Empire, which has proved inspirational towards
my latest Dalek wargaming project!
First off, there are no 15mm Daleks available. The BBC doesn't seem (in my humble opinion) to like the concept, as there are no licences available. Khurasan's Dethroids are NOT Daleks, and my use as a substitute is all me own work, Guv, 'onest. http://khurasanminiatures.tripod.com/planet15.html
(about halfway down the page - ee keeps adding! I keep wanting!)
Here are some nice
pictures of “straight” off the peg Exterminators.
Now some basic
conversions using GZG and Scotia 6mm vehicle guns. The alternate
dome is from Germy's 2mm range sold through GZG. The left over
weapon makes an excellent smoke dispenser for 15mm vehicles.
Uber Dalek project.
Originally these were my second attempt at creating a 15mm Dalek, but
they are simply too large. I would suggest that if you require a
28mm Spider-Dalek these would fit the bill.
Here are some I made
earlier.
(upgrading now! watch this space, it's on the list!)
The recipe is quite
simple, the base unit is a GZG spider walker, the top a slightly
squashed recon drone. Shields are grav plates and a variety of
weapons are from the bits box, gleaned from smaller, mostly GZG
vehicles. Although you can buy separately from Old Crow and Combat
Wombat.
Here's a batch of the
newer code, made as a Heavy Squad HW Dalek, allowing the others to be
used at Platoon level.
(coming soon, need a bit of paint first!)
Of course I had to make
an Emperor. I didn't need one, he's never likely to appear on the
table. But he is there. Again all GZG model, the base is used as
pillar for 25mm auto gun and ORC space station part. The top is from
Germy's 2mm range, a circular dropship.
With these heavy weapon
Daleks we will be invincible and take our place as the supreme
species in the universe!
Now this is going to
make me seem like a complete anorak, but I'm not, honest. My next
project is to go through Dalek Second Empire and note the names,
weapons and personalities. I will then present them as a package to
be used with Ganesha's rules.
