“Da Propa Frood's Guide to Krumpin' da Galaxy an' Generally Bein' a Hoopy Git an' All" by Dug-Less Orkams is a strange book I just came up with while hammering out Da Dalek Killaz, and all I know about it is, re: Daleks, it says "they ain’t never willin' to give ya a propa scrap, always krumpin' gitz from a ways away, and they can zoggin' fly"

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]

I won' say this git's a perfect represen-somefink of Ab-sum DAAAGH! Dalek-Killa, but 'e's definitely a right propa start!

Helmet and Kombi-Gunstikk Deffgun are absolutely cunnin' and brutal, though, so they're going on whatever git I find to build this propa Big Mek outta.

so in the lore for the Hammers of Osterhagen, I've written down that they venerate "On the Great Skarosian Xenocide and the Emperor's Folly", written by "II" (obviously the Second Primarch), as some kind of holy text/operational manual, and that's why they do the whole "nomad-predation fleet" thing and steal everyone's taranium and generally just kind of aren't fun to be around, because that's what II wrote is what you have to do to fight the Daleks

but they're also not II Legion descendants, like that's something I'm being very clear on, they're probably actually Ultramarines, maybe with a bit of Dark Angels as their very Dreadwing-y heraldry suggests, and if they aren't, they're Death Guard, maybe World Eaters (the other Legions not the II involved in the aforementioned xenocide)

[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

[doolallymagpie]

finally getting back to the Dalek Marine concept

here's a Crusade-era body I'm planning on printing in vast quantities

[doolallymagpie]

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

[doolallymagpie]

me: I’ve got like three Ork warband concepts, and I’ve never started on even one, I don’t n-

Ab-sum DAAAGH!, Dalek Killa: *unrelated to the conversation* I’m sumfink uvva Mekboy meself

Me: dammit

[doolallymagpie]

"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”

[doolallymagpie]

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
