Ya know, it's easy to forgot how dread-inducing the daleks were back during their redebut in 2005, not the joke they've become.

This reminds me of better times when Who wasn't shit.

It makes you feel dread that, yes, invincible, mini-tanks with weapons and forceshields are coming for your arse, and there's fuck all you can do about it unless you're a Time Lord at the height of their power.

the problem is that because they were so OP it made writing convincing stories with them difficult. Basically the same issue they ran into with the Borg over in Trek.

That and the constant use of them in 21st century stories- which ties into one of the bigger issues with Doctor Who in the new series (and to a lesser degree the OG series); of Status Quo is God. At least in the old series, most of the pre-21st century and even 21st century stories had small-scale invasions or some other sort of qualifier that made humanity in general not knowing about aliens at least somewhat plausible. Plus stuff such as cameras and video-cameras weren't quite as ubiquitous back then.
 


This is Not a Plan (Ciaphas Cain) - A Warhammer 40k Inspired Song

[Lyrics]

[Verse 1]
The hive was burning, smoke and steel,
Tyranids swarming, oh how to feel.
I took one look, and nearly fled—
But no, I had to lead instead.
I grabbed a vox, I cleared my throat,
My voice went high like a strangled goat.
I meant to scream "Retreat! Run back!"
But somehow it came out "Flank and attack!"

[Chorus]
This is not a plan! This is not a drill!
I tripped and pointed toward the hill!
They thought it meant to circle around—
I just fell down and hit the ground!
Don't cheer my name, don't praise my deeds—
I only yelled because I fell to my knees—
This is not a plan! It's me, surviving again!

[Verse 2]
I ducked behind a wrecked Chimera,
Found Jurgen eating a ration bar.
A flamer nearby exploded bright—
I screamed, they called it a signal light.
I climbed the rubble, gasping for air,
They shouted "Look! He's rallying there!"
I fell into a trench mid-yell—
They called it "Cain's Gambit." I called it "hell."

[Chorus]
This is not a plan! This is not a game!
I only ran when the Lictor came!
That wasn't courage — that was fleeing!
I only survived 'cause I kept retreating!
Stop carving statues, cancel the band!
I don't deserve a medal, I deserve a hand—
To pull me out from this command!

[Bridge]
They look at me like I've got a map…
But all I've got is fear and crap.
I point, they charge, I scream, they cheer—
The more I flinch, the less they fear.
They think I've got some master plan…
But I'm just a man.
A very lucky man.

[Final Chorus]
This is not a plan! This is not control!
I just make it up as I go!
They saw precision in my flailing stride—
Called it strategy. I just tried to hide.
But if I live, I'll take the fame...
Just don't expect me to do this again!
This is not a plan…
...but hey, it worked.




Milk for the Khorne Flakes - A Warhammer 40k Inspired Song


[Lyrics]

(Verse 1)
Wake at dawn, the slaughter's near,
Axe in hand, I have no fear!
But first, my strength must be awake,
Time to feast — it's Khorne Flakes break!

Steel and sinew, rage and hate,
But not before I fill my plate!
Bowls of fury, spoons of doom,
Fuel my wrath — clear the room!

(Chorus)
Blood for the Blood God!
Milk for the Khorne Flakes!
Skulls for the Skull Throne!
Spoons for the WARZONE!

(Verse 2)
Helmet off, my teeth are bared,
Frosted rage, I'm battle-prepared!
Crunch of flakes, like bones I grind,
Madness surges through my mind!

Sanguine rivers, crimson seas,
But breakfast first — priorities!
Charge the breach, but never late —
No warrior fights on an empty plate!

(Chorus)
Blood for the Blood God!
Milk for the Khorne Flakes!
Skulls for the Skull Throne!
Bowls for the BATTLEZONE!

(Bridge)
Spill the milk, and you spill your blood!
Overthrow my flakes, and I'll end your flood!
Battle is sacred, battle is fate —
But breakfast is first... or you'll be late!

(Final Chorus)
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!
Milk for the Khorne Flakes!
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
Cereal for the chaos zone!

(Outro)
Blood in my veins, steel in my hand...
But milk in my bowl, at Khorne's command.
