Its impossible to not love Blue Daleks!

Introducing the Time War Dalek Strategist, a precursor to the Paradigm variant of the same name.

And yes, that is the neck repair block from a certain 60s Dalek prop. Canon function!

Orange eye just looked perfect for that, red eye seemed a bit clinical/robot-y.

Finally, its time to kick off the proceedings, we have SIX new Daleks to unveil!

The brand new Time War era Dalek Executioner, bridging the gap between Time Lord Victorious and Flux variants into one bringer of death.

Berserker Dalek

My guiding motivation when designing this variant was: What would be the best Dalek figure ever if I was a kid? I'm truly pleased with this big guy.

Features on Big Finish's Gallifrey War Room Allegiance.

Phase Dalek

Bespoke casing, built-in eye, uncoated Dalekanium, multiple guns, Xandium blades and a Temporal-Phasing ability. A lot of work to get it refined for the final cover! Appears on Big Finish's Unknown Soldiers.

Special Weapons Dalek

The Time War edition of the famed 80s variant, designed for cover artwork for Big Finish's Unknown Soldiers, being fine-tuned from its original Victory of the Doctor appearance.

Old, broken and rusted Dalek with internalised crystal growth.

I asked if I could use the dark grey Destiny Dalek prop (Goon v-vi) to indicate that age.

So here's the before and after wrecking him up for The Dalek Eternity 2!

These are official BBC/Big Finish designs I have no claim over them.

HOW MANY NEW DALEKS?? (my reaction to the brief!)

From left to right:

As ever a huge thanks to my co-conspirator
@seanlongmore.bsky.social and his amazing cover!

I have two full size Daleks in my possession, 2005 bronze and 1966 silver.

Neither are screen used but are built from screen accurate moulds.

Been putting it off for awhile now because its a massive pain but I've finally dusted and cleaned him over the weekend.

Bronze Dalek is now stationed guarding the hallway.

I have no idea how to quantify that but I try my best! 😅

You would be correct!

Brand new variant from me, the Dalek Delegate!

The modernised revival of the Planet of the Daleks Supreme.

Was a pleasure to work with James Goss and Grant Kempster on these covers.

Been sadly busy lately with little time for personal Daleks, so here's a custom 1970s variant with matte and gloss black livery based on Dalek Sec.

CLASSIC HOVERBOUT!

Closer look at the new Hoverbout design and Section Commander Dalek.

DIOE was a huge influence on this story so we wanted to include the striped skirt commander and silver eye into a later sixties style casing.

DALEK TIME CONTROLLER RECIEVING!

Rightly one of the most famous Dalek designs to ever exist. It was an an absolute honour to be able to take my own crack at the design pulling together its inconsistent history of variants into one.

Dalek Time Controller (2025 Edition)

I almost collapsed when @seanlongmore.bsky.social said I'd have a chance to have a go at this iconic design and tune it up slightly.

We brought back the original intended blue livery based on the original ungraded renders by Alex Mallinson.
