So, I was thinking to myself one day, if this is the Dalek Mod, why not have a few of the Dalek's minions in the mod? It has been part of the Daleks' style more than once to have some sort of working force below themselves.
Thus, this suggestion. Here are the main minions of the Daleks
Ogrons
Origin: Notably Ogrons are one of the few minions Daleks didn't need to manufacture and actually employed rather than tricked. How do they relate to the Daleks? Hired mercenaries.
As seen in: Day of the Daleks and Frontier in Space
Spawning: Anywhere
Behavior: Neutral
Attacks: Blaster
Hiring an Ogron: Ogrons are Mercenaries, and in my opinion, the mod should reflect that.
Attack Behavior
When in the Vicinity of Daleks
Note
Dalek Puppets
Origin: Dalek puppets are made when humans come into contact with a kind of nanogene found in the Dalek Asylum. Anyone without proper protection is convertd into a partial Dalek and a slave to the Dalek race. This nanogene can apparently even work on the dead.
Spawning:
Alignment: Hostile (Note: See attack behavior)
Attack Behavior:
Other information
Dalek Duplicates/Dalek Soldiers
As seen in: Resurrection of the Daleks
Origin: Genetically engineered clones maufactured (I assume from DNA) based on humans killed by the Daleks. They require a sort of machine to be made (will add more details soon)
Spawning:
Alignment
Attack Behavior:
Robomen
Origin: The Robomen are human beings who have been made into Dalek Slaves through an process called the Tansfer, which involves having a machine operate on one's brain. During the 22nd Century, the Daleks who invaded Earth used Robomen as a way to keep order (There weren't that many Daleks comparatively over cities. The Robomen rather did most of the actual enforcing work for the Daleks))
Spawning:
Behavior:
The Robomen are a form of Law and Order. And thus they will only attack suspicious people (details coming on this soon)
Attacks:
Skins:
Note:
I'll have more Details on them soon
I like this idea a lot, the daleks have had many minions over the years so it only seems fair that they should also be added into the mod
Also, yes. Although the puppets were seen to be about human speed, I do think they would be a bit slower.
also, do you mind if I use these in my Dalek thread coming out on the Power Of The Daleks anniversary?
finally, I'd love to help with this thread since a lot of these ideas are WIP, if you would like my assistance please feel free to contact me on Skype
When it comes to spawning I think when a dalek attacks a villager they become a roboman, appart from that I support this idea
I rather call them Dalek agents not puppets
Full support.
Perhaps a Zombie can rarely turn into a Zombie Dalek Puppet when they are shot by an Asylum Dalek, or the Nanogene/infection Dalek you mentioned; Daleks would then be hostile to ordinary zombies in addition to most everything else. A Zombie Villager would have a higher chance of becoming one (Zombie Villager and Zombie Dalek at the same time!). An interesting feature about them could be that they don't burn in the daylight like ordinary Zombies (Minecraft Story Mode comes to mind).
Also, interesting fact, originally in Frontier in Space, the Daleks 'hired hands' were going to be Cybermen instead of Ogrons.

Thank you.
As for using what's here, I don't mind as long as you link back to my thread and credit anything I've suggested.
As for assistance, of you have any ideas, I'm open to hearing them.
Full support.

I love this, and I'll definitely add this into the thread.
As for the added trivia, it's both interesting and ironic XD
Good thinking! You've taught me a bit about Daleks today, aha. I do like this idea! Mercenaries especially are a good idea.
I was thinking about this thread earlier today, and had an idea for the ogrons, should their home planet ever be a dimension in the mod. Perhaps, the only ogrons that spawn in the overworld will spawn nearby/with daleks, making them attack the player (hired by the Daleks and brought to earth). If the player kills the nearby daleks, they can then hire the ogrons. Otherwise, in order to hire ogrons, the player would have to travel to their home world in the TARDIS, where ogrons would spawn in large numbers, and hire them from there, taking them back to other dimensions with the TARDIS.
I like that idea.
I remember reading something interesting about their planet once. I'll have to check what it was again
