Daleks and "Why not?"

They are "the" iconic Sci-Fi, horror, cult, best of the BBC generation spanning "baddies". So when Warlord Games were selling some sprue off at half price it was a 'no brainer' (see below, the distinctive Dalek chassis is clearly visible alongside some equally 'unmissable' Warlord game "sales" sprue):  



With twelve Daleks you can pretty much take over the world, especially if you allow them to fly! Personally as a person brought up on the black and white telly I think that is cheating (see below, I am thinking various colour schemes are required from red, while, yellow, gold and black):  


As I am a heretical Sci-Fi person that freely mixes genres these can be thrown up against Space Marines, Star Trek, Star Wars to Traveller. The only limitation is your imagination,

    I've got some too. They fight UNIT troops which are best replicated by 20mm Brits in berets from Falklands War ranges. A big advantage here is that UNIT never seemed to use anything more substantial than a Landrover.

    Hello Bankinista well said re: Landrover although we all know from our muspent childhoods that UNIT one famously called in for a Scorpion tank (the infamous Action Man one no less) to try and take on a Giant Robot .. much to the tank crew's detriment ;) whereas the Dr confronted the alien menace by speeding by in an old Bentley and threw a bucket of soapy water (?) over it .. much to the Giant Robot's detriment! (Fondly remembered childhood viewing, from behind the sofa)!
