Recently I've been painting up some more Doctor Who miniatures (expect to see them posted properly in a couple of years, what with the back-log and all) and playing some Mars Code Aurora, so naturally, I combined the two in this little game I played with my friend Andrew at my local club. It's just a little "blow each other up to learn the rules" kind of game. but hopefully it makes for a fun read, at least.
Undeath of the Daleks
As twin suns rise on a frontier world on the very edges of human space, a strange silence is broken by one of the most feared cries in the galaxy; "EXTERMINATE!" The Daleks have arrived to conquer another world, woe betide the poor human settlers.
Something is off, however, the settlement already seems devoid of life. Perhaps it was abandoned or some kind of space plague wiped out the population?
An advanced party of Daleks lands and begins to explore the settlement.
Suddenly, in the distance, something stirs.
A phalanx of shambling corpses surrounding a rusted and staggering mech of outdated manufacture make their way down the street. It seems the plague has indeed come to this world, or rather The Plague, an unstoppable wave of undeath unleashed by the hubris of The Corporation!
But the Daleks hold no fear of death, only a hatred of all that is different, so they open fire, slaying some of the zombies almost as soon as they've been spotted.
As usual, the monomania of the Daleks works against them, and soon they find themselves outflanked by the staggering former humans.
In short order, the lighter Scout Dalek is surrounded and torn apart, screaming in agony.
Dalek forces move up to form a firing line and unleash deadly bolts of energy into their foes.
Despite cries of "EXTERMINATE!" and ceaseless blasting, the Daleks are slowly getting picked off by their inferior foes.
When the lumbering bulk of the enemy mech staggers into range, the twisted mind of the Daleks forms something of a Master Plan...
By concentrating their fire on the mech, the Daleks bring it down, stopping whatever force was keeping the zombies animated. For now, the Daleks are the only inhuman monsters in control of this world, but for how long?
