* The Dalek renders were provided by [[James Johnson]]<ref>https://twitter.com/ThatTallGinger/status/1808172092753420681</ref>. | |||
** As with previous renders, Johnson provided a closer look at the Daleks featured on this cover. | |||
** [[File:Black Dalek and Drones (The Stuff of Legend).jpg|thumb|Black Dalek and Drones closer look.]]The [[Black Dalek]] featured on this cover is styled akin to the 1970s era Dalek props, similar to those seen in ''[[Planet of the Daleks (TV story)|Planet of the Daleks]]'', but with some design cues taken from some of the later 1980s [[Black Dalek Leader|Supreme Daleks]], notably from [[Resurrection of the Daleks (TV story)|''Resurrection of the Daleks'']]. This design features an almost completely black profile with silver [[Sense globe|sensor globes]]<ref>https://twitter.com/ThePrydonian/status/1808145328916377995</ref>. | |||
** Johnson also makes note that some of the regular Daleks featured on the cover are "Dalek Goons", which was a production term used for Daleks featured in ''Planet of the Daleks'' that were made from cheaper materials and less prominent compared to the "Hero Dalek" props. This would make a rare instance of a production term being adopted into licensed media. | |||
** [[File:Driller Daleks (The Stuff of Legend).jpg|thumb|Driller Dalek closer look.]]The Driller Dalek is a variant of the [[Special Weapons Dalek]] featured in previous television stories, but with a large tricone drill in place of the traditional cannon. It also features tracks for movement instead of the regular Dalek fender, a design trait previously seen on the [[Berserker Dalek]], also rendered by Johnson<ref>https://twitter.com/ThePrydonian/status/1834947708840284531</ref>. | |||
