Anybody have any ideas? I am afraid there are none to be had.

Somebody had sugested using pushpins as a body base. That seems promising, but I am not that great of a sratchbuilder. rather suck at it as a matter of fact.

So I am hoping somebody knows something here, or has doe it themselves and can save the trial and error phase.

I would buy those plastic cones (like the markers from GW Talisman Game). Flatten the top and add a gun barrel. Would make a decent proxy for not-Daleks

I like Khurasan's Deathroids for not-Daleks. No, they don't look exactly like Daleks, but they have the same character, in my opinion. "Obliterate! Obliterate!"

Although in the 6mm range would the Attackbots be any good?

Yes phil those would in fact be great. Only th4ey are going to be the smallest daleks ever in 6mm. I was hopeing there would be some 15mm out there some where.

Obliterate obliterate indeed. And I just punched out an order with khurasan yesterday. Had to get the Doe while it was hot you know. But I shall remember them next month.

I'm kind of surprised Irregular doesn't have them in 15mm, but I guess someone would have chimed in if they do and they just aren't pictured.

I only found out last week Irregular has a lot of not-Star Wars characters in 6mm, hidden in a battle pack and non-pictured, oddly named figure lines ("fighter pilot" = C3PO apparently).

If you can track them down, there were some mobile phone charms which included a Dalek and a Cyberman that work for 15mm. Hard to find now, but pretty much the only option for actual Daleks.

I can't believe how many times this topic comes up – Capt Quirk is quite right – phone charms – here's some pics…

Wow! Around $12 USD bucks a pop here in the States, if you're lucky.

But the 6mm Daleks would be the cutest Daleks ever! You can pretend it's like Spinal Tap – they ordered big Daleks but got tiny ones instead.

Just call them Dalek-MATS.

Although that would most likely be intrepreted as an insult by any self respecting Dalek.

Pushpins….hmmm…

What about plastic screw anchors, if the tips are snipped off:
