Impasse






	As war between the Daleks and the Mechanoids draws ever closer, a third party decides to take matters into their own hands. The Zerovians dispatch robot agent 2K first to Skaro and then to Mechanus to stop the war at any cost. But is a robot enough to outwit the might of both the Daleks and the Mechanoids? And can he prevent a terrifying war in space that could destroy millions of innocent lives? This exciting new instalment of The Dalek Chronicles is now available! Order your copy here. Below is a selection of images from the production...

Robot agent 2K is revealed to the stunned Zerovian council.

We reckon he’s one of the finest pieces of design ever featured in the Dalek Chronicles, though why he has his name stamped on his forehead is anyone’s guess...

Presumably to avoid tedious interrogations about what his name is, 2K has his name stamped absolutely everywhere.

Here he is with his spaceship on the surface of Skaro.

2K climbs the Dalek Information Tower. In the finished production, it will be raining in these shots. Not because it features in the original comic strip, but just because I thought it would look rather sexy...

Another shot of 2K climbing the Dalek Information Tower. I’m very pleased with the way these shots have turned out.

Again, digital rain and lightning will be added to this shot.

And here we are inside the Dalek Information Chamber.

The Daleks are having a good laugh as Skardal hurtles on its way to annihilate Mechanus. As you do.

A shot from later in the story, as 2K tries to rewire a Dalek missile. From inside it. Whilst its flying. And primed.

He does like to live dangerously, this 2K, doesn’t he?

The council chamber on Zeros. The Zerovians seem to believe they’re the only blue-skinned race in the Dalek Chronicles. The fools! Have they never heard of the Monstrons, or the Krattorians, or the humanoid Daleks?

A shot of the Dalek Control Room.

The Daleks attempt to cut their way into the rocket silo...

...and they succeed, as Daleks tend to do. This sequence was additional to the original strip, added to make it more exciting.

2K gets his time in the spotlight. Unfortunately, as he’s on an undercover mission, that’s not actually a good thing...

The Emperor’s stand-up comedy routine in front of a packed house of Daleks was going surprisingly well... considering that the punch line of every gag was “So I exterminated him!”

2K is caught by the Daleks. Always nasty. Never happened to me, mind, but I have caught my finger in a car door.

Getting caught by the Daleks is significantly worse than getting caught by the finger.

As with the images of 2K climbing the information tower, I was extremely pleased with the colour palette and lighting for these outdoor shots.

2K (you can see him right in the bottom centre if you squint) stares up at the Dalek rocket.

The council building on Zeros.

They’re big on making architectural statements on Zeros.
