Unknown Soldiers (audio story): Difference between revisions

* [[File:Jjphasedalek.jpg|thumb|Phase Dalek closer look.]]The Dalek renders were provided by [[James Johnson]]<ref>https://x.com/ThatTallGinger/status/1837149124874899908</ref>.

** As with previous renders, Johnson provided a closer look at the Daleks featured on the cover. As noted in the writeup, the Phase Dalek is an experimental prototype from the [[Dalek Scientific Division]], with it being noted that it's shell is uncoated [[Dalekanium|Dalekium]]. This Dalek does not feature a skirt, but instead claw like appendages tipped with Xandium blades, and a second larger [[gunstick]] in place of the normal [[manipulator arm]]. Additionally, this Dalek lacks a traditional [[Dalek eyestalk|eyestalk]], instead having Chronoceptive vision system, with reticle precision targeting, which is built directly into the dome itself<ref>https://x.com/ThePrydonian/status/1868981047133892713</ref>.

** Johnson also noted that the Phase Dalek design was influenced by the [[Spider Dalek (TV story)|Spider Dalek]] that was to be featured as part of the [[Leekley Bible]] concept art<ref>https://x.com/ThePrydonian/status/1868685595633123479</ref>.

** 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 (audio anthology)|Victory of the Doctor]]'', with Johnson noting that the ''Victory'' version is more akin to a cleaner ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|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 (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]''<ref>https://x.com/ThePrydonian/status/1837463700472569870</ref>.
