Dalek Tank Idea

[Cobra]

Hey Guys, Being a Big Doctor Who Fan, i often Wondered about something. What If if there were a Dalek Tank, something almost like the Hunter-Killer from the Terminator Movies? would that be a WHIF worth Building? thanks for looking. Dan

I assume it is a Dalek in and of itself, not a tank crewed by Daleks. So it would be sort of like the tanks in 1st edition Warhammer 40,000 where the crews where hard wired into the tanks machinery and could not be removed...
I assume it's roughly pentagonal shaped with a big dome turret mounting a massive toilet plunger and egg beater combo and has huge spakers somewhere for yelling 'exterminate' out of...
Otherwise it would nto be recognisably Dalek and people would just assume another SF hover tank, of which there are millions of builds.

that's the General Idea. What Tank Chasis would work for Building 1?? any Ideas?

Don't put it on a chassis - Daleks themselves have skirts which reach the floor and pevent anyone from seeing what the hell they move around on, so why shouldn't the tank. Just scratch the whole thing from plasticard. To be honest, I'd expect a Dalek tank to hover, or at least be advanced enough that using any terrestrial tank as basis would spoil the effect.

Probably not unlike a high-tech version of Leonardo's original design:

There was a Special Weaopns Daleks, a heavilly armed & armoured Dalek:



This one is 'Dalek Storm' which is a fan creation, based on a comic story:

Ya know, if you wanted to get really funky, then have there be an actual crewed tank.  You could have a central pylon with attachment ports inside that all of the Daleks back into to "crew" the vehicle.  I might not be describing this well...

I don't know, to me it seems the Dalek shape we know  already is a tank. Anything bigger would be in the form of a spaceship, not a ground vehicle.

I see that Dalek Storm stops at nothing except kitties. This is as it should be.

If you are considering a manned (Dalaked?) vehicle, it could work much the same way the Droid Battle Tank from Star Wars is done only with niches to roll into their positions.  So, probably a bigger vehicle or only crewed by a couple of Dalaks.

There are certain similarities between Daleks and Cats
