Marvellous
Just hope he doesn't have any 10mm Daleks......

Don't think there any 10mm Dalecks (HINT PHIL - even you could get them right) - but the Irregular "Attack Robots" in 6mm would pass

Oooh, I've got some of those, somewhere.

(Quick rummage in various boxes)

Ha, ha! Found them. They're only 7mm tall, so do look very small up against a Pendraken figure.

Dwarf mutant zombie Daleks of course. Open the lid of the chief Dalek and out pops an irate Gimli. You know, because, all genres matter....

The cameo is much appreciated particularly with the typical inner-new town decoration, although a barber's basin would have served  ;)

Again, I cannot claim any originality. There is a statue of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington in Glasgow, that perpetually sports a cone. It is little known that the Glaswegians acquired the practice from their cousins in Dragonhead.

Yes, they tend to be very protective over that IP

The town is now dominated by two tower blocks – named after local heroes the David Lloyd George Block and the Leon Trotsky Building

Well there's where to head if the Daleks do turn up FSN......from watching various 60's/70's/80's British TV shows it appears that the lifts in most tower blocks are unrelable at best, so the Daleks would have to take the stairs, a major problem, at least for the Daleks in the early Dr Who days in the 60's  ;D

Dragonhead is a great gaming idea, look forward to more episodes  :-bd
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
we are not now that strength which in old days
moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.

Trick is not  to call them "Dalecks"

Leon cast up some 10mm Daleks around 5 years ago (as well as Cybermen and Time Lords) they were a private enterprise (I'm sure I still have some somewhere).
The gentleman who sculpted them has a Dr Who 10mm page (Dr Who 10mm east tiger wargames)
also has some time wars rules.

So are 20th Century Fox, but I see alien facehuggers & creatures already in the sci-fi range. And an APC that looks very familiar . . .

Think it's Terry Nation (or his estate) that owns the Dalek IP.
