A lot of people were having to get used to working with aliens, mutants, and other “unclean” sorts very quickly. The only thing keeping it from going badly was the announcement by some Commissar-Colonel [Thalia]’d never heard of that anyone “engaging in unauthorized anti-xenos activities” would be considered a Dalek collaborator and executed. The logic, she gathered, was that the Daleks wanted to kill all life in the universe, so killing aliens as usual was playing right into their hands, and since they were the foulest of the foul when it came to xenos horrors, nobody should want to commit such a flagrant heresy as aiding them in their goals. It really wasn’t logic, by her standards. But the non-logic confused most people enough to decide it was a problem for after the current crisis was over, and the threat kept enough of the rest in line that it wasn’t all that hard cleaning up those who wouldn’t, under any circumstances, suffer the alien to live, even if the Emperor himself told them to.

timeline the Ordo Chronos is aware of in WhoHammer: Malcador, Dorn, and Loken decide to Osterhagen Key the Emperor’s car because they think this “Dark King” shit is wack

The Arthan-Kallur Compact: *sees a Dalek*

[doolallymagpie]

might fuck around and use Iron Hand Straken as the basis for my Syba-Orkz' knockoff Yarrick, just because it seems easier to sell him as a crazed Cyberconverted terror with Ork bits grafted on than it would be an actual Yarrick

kharn will see a dalek emperor and be like "anyone gonna eat that" and not wait for an answer

"Sorvad Kelad" is a very 40K-sounding name, so me just casually dropping the info on you that, in WhoHammer, he was one of many reasonably competent scientist working on the Astartes project shouldn't raise any alarm bells, but then you hear about "Sarvod Klaed" and "Rosvad Delak" and all these other guys who sound suspiciously similar, and you're like "hey wait a minute, those are anagrams"

for what, is the question

[doolallymagpie]

me naming a prevaricating little quisling for the Daleks “Tonneld Poster”: surely this is subtler than “Mag Uruk Thraka”

Originally, Reinhardt wasn't gonna be bald, but I found a Peter Capaldi head sculpt that was, and I was thinking about giving him a psychic hood anyway, so...yeah, that came about

Still greenstuffing him a beard, though, man's gotta have that goatee

[doolallymagpie]

me thinking about my whohammer lore: oh my god the emperor is just another fucking assilon of rassilon

[doolallymagpie]

ended up making Rassilon (well, Urizen) a warp entity in WhoHammer, and a really weird one that has an easier time forcing blanks to speak for it than psykers, possessing a bunch of Sisters of Silence specifically to tell an Inquisitorial expedition to get the fuck off its lawn

psykers, meanwhile, just feel an overwhelming sense of dread in this thing's presence

one of the WhoHammer Daleks' weapons is what amounts to a Genesis Ark fired as an artillery shell, linked to a pocket dimension whose sole purpose is manufacturing and distributing cannon fodder Daleks

for the sake of avoiding capture, the shell is basically a miniature fortress with Special Weapons Dalek guns, and contains a 5-gigaton shaped Cobalt-Thorium G warhead

anyone survives the massive killzone around it, the crew on the other side of the linkage disconnects the gate, sends the detonation signal, and there's about five hours until that planet becomes cut-rate starliner fuel

like it or not, this is peak skitarii performance

no fears just vibes

no robes to trip you on your 1000-kilometer march from the landing zone to the battle

dashing silver jumpsuit

convenient carrying handles for your magos

immunity to small arms

an odd vulnerability to gold and certain cleaning chemicals

Oh yeah, painted Thalia Kirst 3.0 a while ago. Need to locate a Necromunda 32mm for her, though.

Also, debuting my “Nyfarran Underhive” terrain. If this kit only sees use as photo backdrops, totally worth it.

Next to the mini based much more closely on her original inspiration, for fun.

[doolallymagpie]

Thalia’s head is growing on me, and Rin’s new model is just about perfect.

Might be workshopping a “fastball special” rule for them. Just throw your tiny wife who is too angry to die into the brawl.

[doolallymagpie]

Thalia 3.0 is fucking beefy

not completely happy with this head, though

[doolallymagpie]

Got myself a swell guy here

Warlord Dalek chunks are mainly to break up the Gravis armor profile, but I couldn’t resist the eyestalk on his chainmail tabard thing as an Easter egg of sorts
