The Book of Dalek Drones

Potential Proxies?

It seems like everyone is leaning towards the "more technically correct" option here. I think Panini would be the best publisher then. Most DW Comic characters are either going to fall under Panini or Titan, I think. I'll try to find some higher quality scans/images from one of their mags.

I wonder how big they are? 10 for $25 is a little pricey but I bet they may get a discount after the holidays.

I mean if those are regular-sized Christmas light bulbs, they look to be just about spot on with the Daleks I have. My big question would be if you can remove them from the lights without shattering them.

That image is probably okay but see if you can find any higher quality logos.

I don't think it's a heart-breaker for the characters to end up under different publishers. I think that'll eventually happen with TMNT, where we'll have some characters that might be Mirage or Archie instead of IDW.

Might also happen with Hack/Slash, because the series jumped publishers midway through its run - some of the characters mostly appeared in books published by DDP, and some mostly appeared in books published by Image.

If Titan makes the most sense for the other characters and Panini makes the most sense for the Daleks, then I'd file them that way.

And I'll echo YK on the art stuff - I'd try to align mini, art and publisher as much as possible, and the mini is probably the limiting factor there. I'd work out the rest based on the mini.

On the Christmas Lights, I'd want to know for sure they were a good size fit and easy to remove from the wire before I paid $2.50 a piece for 10 minis. T has the right idea bout waiting until after Christmas and seeing if they mark the last of the stock way down just to clear out the warehouse space. Might get then for 50% off or more.

The comic art is proving to be more difficult to find than I thought, but I'm still on the lookout for good options.

I'll keep an eye on them and if they go down after Christmas I'll let everyone know. I might buy a set myself, I honestly can't say yet.

I found a pic of them hanging on a wall. They look close to right but it was hard to tell exactly.

These guys seem very fragile for dudes who in-universe have really hard to breach forcefields

They look tough to me and they do not fight super heroes on the regular.

I tried to hit the sweet-spot with them. In some episodes they struggle to kill one Dalek (the episode Dalek) but in some episodes they find a way to get rid of all of the Daleks pretty easily (any episode with a whole invading force of Daleks) In my tests, they fell in the perfect middle ground. Normal humans had a very hard time killing them, but they could eventually, while I imagine people like Thor can usually destroy them in one hit. I’m interested to hear what you think.

Another thing, I’m interested in hearing how 3 move affects gameplay. If it ever has a major unexpected effect, please let me know.
