Exterminate! The New Dalek Paradigim

I painted up some more Doctor Who figures, the infamous Daleks!

Emotionally unstable pepperpots with plungers, the Daleks are the oldest, and perhaps most iconic recurring Who villain, featuring in the second-ever story-arch. They've gone a long way since 1963, and this is the most recent, although short lived, incarnation of the Daleks- the brightly colored new Paradigim from Victory of the Daleks.

 The different colors denote function on-show. This is the lowest rank, the Drone. They were a straight forward paint job and some I think turned out quite well. The balls around the hemis were time consuming, but really add to the effect.

These are from the same set as my Weeping Angels, sold with Doctor Who Adventure Magazine as a special. While not my favorite Daleks, these stand out well against a muted setting, perfect for something like the Dalek Invasion of Earth's ruined London.

Here's the gruff-voiced Supreme, highest in the Dalek hierarchy. The Paradigim consists of five different Daleks, all of which I have models for. These three also appeared briefly in The Pandorica Opens, transmatting down to Stonehenge to help imprison the Doctor.

The main problem with these models, to me, is the oversimplified rear- still, it's an excellent, to scale model for a cheap toy!

Lastly, the Dalek Eternal. A strange Dalek with a mysterious function, said to be involved with the purified continuation of the Dalek race. Whether a fanatic priesthood or serious-minded genetic scientists, plenty of scenarios spring to mind based around this Dalek!

In addition to the bright reds and yellows, I think the gunmetal on the shoulders and neck also turned out well, setting the dominant color off to good effect.
I have started on some terrain to go with them, based on the main set from Daleks Take Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks, from which these three will be well prepared to launch their schemes of galactic domination and extermination!
