In this post I'm reviewing the three figures from the Maximum Extermination! boxed set from the Warlord Games'Doctor Who range as well as the figure of the android Kahler-Tek, who was recently offered as a freebie if you spent £75.00 or more. Believe me, that was not hard as Warlord Games are constantly adding to this range.

At the far left is the Genesis Ark. Dimensionally transcendental, like the TARDIS, the Genesis Ark was a Time Lord prison ship, similar in shape to a Dalek casing, and contained millions of captive Daleks. The Cult of Skaro, led by Dalek Sec, used a void ship to transmat themselves and the Ark out of The Time War, materialising on 21st century Earth. They aimed to resurrect the Dalek empire, opening the Ark and releasing the Daleks inside. However, to achieve this they needed the touch of a time traveller. Mickey Smith accidentally primed it by placing his hand on the outer casing during an altercation with the Cybermen. The Ark was subsequently raised into the sky, releasing the millions of Daleks inside to wreak havoc on the human race and into battle with the recently arrived Cybermen armies. The Doctor eventually re-opened the void and the Ark was sucked back through along with the Dalek and Cybermen forces.
The Supreme Daleks were commander Daleks, either of a faction, or, in the absence of the Emperor Dalek, the leader of the entire Kaled race. Traditionally they were different to standard Daleks casings, often seen entirely in black or gold, or a mixture of these two colours. After the return of Davros and the establishment of the new Dalek empire, the Supreme Dalek was red in colour, featuring gold ridges and spheres as well as an extra light on the back of the head dome. The Twelfth Doctor, Clara and Missy encountered this model on the rebuilt Skaro, home planet of the Daleks, but his army was destroyed by reactivated Daleks in the sewers beneath the city.
Visually different from other models, The Special Weapons Dalek was heavily armoured with deadly offensive capabilities. The traditional Dalek eyestalk and operating arm was replaced with a giant laser energy cannon. Capable of destroying several renegade Daleks at once, it also easily deflected their energy rays. Known amongst the Dalek race as "The Abomination", it was emotionally unstable as the result of radiation damage seeping into its brain from its own energy weapon.

Kahler-Tek, also known as ‘The Gunslinger’ was a Kahler cyborg, one of many humanoids who was experimented on by Kahler-Jex on his home planet of Kahler. Jex wanted to create a super soldier race so he could win the war his people were engaged in. Tek and several others were converted into powerful half men, half machines: A terrifying army of armed war machines featuring powerful energy weapons and built in targeting computers. Kahler-Tek became damaged on the battlefield and slowly his original personality returned to him. He became aware of what he had become and what Kahler-Jex had done to him. Enraged, he set out to track down Jex and his scientists who had turned him into a killer cyborg, hell-bent on revenge.
Years later, the vengeful Tek tracked down Kahler-Jex to Earth, where he had taken on the role of the Doctor in a town called Mercy. Tek lays siege to the townspeople, and when the Eleventh Doctor, Amy and Rory arrive they face an ultimatum – hand over Kahler-Jex to face his fate or the gunslinger would kill every innocent civilian in town, despite his strong instincts not to harm innocents. When Jex expresses genuine regret for his past crimes, he chooses to commit suicide rather than face his cyborg creation. Kahler-Tek believed he no longer served a purpose: all those who had mistreated him had died, so he decided to self-destruct in the desert. However, the Doctor persuaded him to stay in town to take on the role of protector of the people and keep them all safe from outsiders.
As a massive fan of the Daleks I like this set a lot. The Genesis Ark is made of resin but the two Daleks are made of pewter. As for Kahler-Tek, I barely remember him at all and I doubt if I'll use him in any Doctor Who games. Instead, he looks like he'd be more at home in the Cursed Earth of Judge Dredd or as a villain in Strontium Dogs. The Maximum Extermination set costs £16.00 and Kahler-Tek costs an eye-watering £25.00 if you don't take up the spend £75.00 or more offer.
