Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- This story was recorded on 6-9 February 2024 and 19 February 2024 at the Soundhouse.
- The Dalek renders were provided by James Johnson.[1]
- As with previous renders, Johnson provided a closer look at the Daleks featured on the cover. As noted in the write-up, the Phase Dalek is an experimental prototype from the Dalek Scientific Division as a result of their research into quantum tunneling, with it being noted that its shell is uncoated Dalekium. This Dalek does not feature a skirt, but instead claw-like appendages tipped with Xandium blades, has a time engine attached just below the weapons platform, and a second larger gunstick in place of the normal manipulator arm. Additionally, this Dalek lacks a traditional eyestalk, instead having Chronoceptive vision system, with reticle precision targeting, which is built directly into the dome itself.[2]
- Johnson also noted that the Phase Dalek design was influenced by the Spider Dalek that was to be featured as part of the Leekley Bible concept art.[3]
- Johnson also provided a render of the Special Weapons Dalek. This features a slight tweak from the previous render featured on Victory of the Doctor, with Johnson noting that the Victory version is more akin to a cleaner Asylum of the Daleks era Dalek, whereas the Unknown Soldiers version is more akin to the more weathered Daleks as seen in The Parting of the Ways.[4]
