Talk:Dalek X

The Picture of Dalek X

As far as I am aware, Dalek X is never frozen in the novel Prisoner of the Daleks. In fact, it is another Dalek that is frozen at the beginning of the story, before Dalek X is even involved. Therefore, the picture of the frozen Dalek featured on the cover of the novel is not an image of Dalek X.

Can anyone confirm this? If it is true, then it would seem that the picture should be removed.

I can, I'm near the end, not finished, but where I've got too :::SPOILERS:::Dalek X is destroyed:::SPOILERS END:::, plus he is described as being black where the normal Dalek's are gold, except for the spheres and slats on the weapons platform, which are gold, so he's sort of like the un-named type of Dalek in this toy set : http://www.themindrobber.co.uk/dalek-toys-dvds-games/battling-daleks.gif Drophyd167b 19:56, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

I have added a conceptual render to the article made by a person who has read the book and produced it as homage. I am not sure on this wikis' stance on using such images in articles, however as the frozen Dalek wasn't quite Dalek X, no proper image seems to exist as far as I am aware. The image produced by MonkeyTennis matches the description given of Dalek X (black with bronze trimmings) nicely, so I think it is apt to be used. I have chosen however not to put it in the infobox, and rather just left it as a thumbnail image underneath. -- Imperial Emperor - ^Talk
