Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The cover was created by Tom Newsom, with the Dalek renders provided by James Johnson. [1]
- As with previous renders, Johnson once again released a closer look at the Dalek design featured on the cover.[2] Whilst Berserker Daleks had previously featured on the cover of Comrades-in-Arms, this closer look elaborated on some design elements unique to these types of Daleks, such as a buzzsaw attachment, a heavy multiple-barrel firearm, tank-like tracks, and exhausts on the rear. Johnson's writeup indicates the saw attachment is able to cut through Silictone and Chronosteel.
