I agree with the majority of the fanbase when I say that the Paradigm Daleks' design was awful. I loved the individual roles of each dalek, but the bright colours ruined it. However, the other day I had a solution: make them darker colours and keep the RTD design! I've wrote a full article on it here: http://www.followingthenerd.com/tv/j...radigm-daleks/
How to solve the problem with the Paradigm Daleks
Well they did make the colours look more metallic after Series 5 which was good, although I still don't like their bug bums.

I completely agree with the article BUT the colour scheme you chose just seems like a re-use of the 2005 dalek variants. What asylum of the daleks did to the drones was great.

I agree, their appearance in Asylum of the Daleks was a step in the right direction.
Some interesting ideas here (some censored swearing):

Hold on, I posted something about this in another thread a while back...

Cue big reveal of Davros's new army ... in a darker colour scheme somewhere between the RTD ones and the late 70s ones.
Bosh!
Big, dark, scary-looking, no "butt", no rainbows, no individuality, fascist-as-you-like DALEKS
The Bronze Drones who unknown to the Parliament are now all under Davros' control then turn on the Prime Minister and their White Supreme and Red Drone Superiors in a massive hail of laser fire in the parliament. (everything that isn't Bronze gets blown up )...
...They in turn are victim to the same fate when a hoard of Davros's new badass Daleks appear. (...and blow them all up in a massive hail of laser fire )
All you've got left is Davros, some "proper" Daleks and the Eternal in a tank in a laboratory.
That's how I'd like my Daleks served up anyways.

I didn't know the majority of the DW fanbase were asked their opinion of the Paradigm Daleks
I think they look like brilliant toys.
Did the fanbase in the 80's moan about the Imperial Daleks? (they were naff!).

Probably the best solution would have been preventative: stop giving Gatiss work just because he's your mate. If it had been a well-written story we'd probably all be saying they were excellent despite their design.
Emergency paradigm shift?

I don't think it was that bad a story. Main problem I feel is that it would have worked better as a 2 parter. It just feels so rushed.

Are you trippin' - the shinny imperial daleks were awesome.
