Talk:Malal

Damn, this article is bad. I might rouse myself from my stinking, pock-marked ass to do something about it. --MY MIND BEARS A GREAT PAIN

No kidding; when I found it, it wahttp://1d4chan.org/skins/common/images/button_sig.pngs a rip-off of the "Holocaust" article at Uncyclopedia. "political algebraic topology," my chaos-blessed third rectum can shit better plagarism than this. Imma take a fire axe to this article, see if I don't. --NotBrandX 02:08, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

This article fucking sucks. Only problem is, I don't think we can fix this mess.Munch munch 17:00, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR CHAOS! :3

Where can we find canonical material about Malal to replace the verbal diarrhea that is/was my lame-ass attempt to improve it? --NotBrandX 20:39, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Check this site out, its our only hope (http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Malal). Also check this one out (http://www.heresy-online.net/forums/showthread.php?t=55244) .--81.151.152.91 23:45, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

The Horned Rat

WFB Malal post 4th edition is the Horned Rat. -- Yu-gi-oh ! (talk) 21:16, 22 March 2015 (UTC) http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hQHtMrUHec0/VKGNu1nkkVI/AAAAAAAAuME/azSCnAhp0ss/s140-p/verminlord.PNG

In appearance, you mean? Pretty much only thing linking them is their horned skull-helmed appearance. Except they're chaos gods, every fraggin demon is horned. Every Rat character trait is the exact opposite of Malal, since the Rat favours cowardice, hordes, rats, and sucks so badly. Sotek is more closer to Malal than Rat.

Deathclaw

Am I the only one to notice that Malal looks like frigging Deathclaw from Fallout Tactics? Not the giant chameleons from the first Falloun, but the warm-blooded sapient ones that live in snowy mountains and look like some croc-sloth-goat-ram oviparous clusterfuck of a hybrid, with rhino horn and overall built of a hulking human. http://www.nma-fallout.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=4584 http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/File:Deathclaw-attack-fox.jpg http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/File:Deathclaw.JPG http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/File:Deathclaw_Swipe_Attack_(Fallout_Tactics).gif

We should at the very least use those as Malal daemons instead of the Ackland's shit we use now. Don't get me wrong, he's a nice chap, just his designs suit Malal about as well as daemons of Nurgle would suit Slaanesh - that is, terribly.

We don't even need to alter appearance that much if any. If you'd want, lets make them some skull-like helmets, some monochrome armour and two thumbs on each hand.

In-game, hmm. Phase claws (or whatever we'd call the claws that would ignore saves), maybe some special trait to kill IC and hyped-up elite squads, precise deepstrike, all cloaked/shield saves, so they wouldn't be gunned down on arrival - basically a unit to dice whatever overpriced cheese your opponent splurged on and/or commanders, but too few and costly to be more useful than your mundane troops in general combat. And either something that will get them out of opponent bloody revenge, or simply warp them away after a few turns. I'm more inclined to the second one - that way they'll contribute to battle without turning into game-winning wardknights.

To make up for the lack of Malal's daemons I currently use a special rule that turns random units into chaos spawn, or boost them at the cost of making them hostile to everyone when playing Malal, but that's too cumbersome, and few opponents agree to roll with it.

Something of Note

I did some research into Malal, his presence and lack thereof. I found a void outside the lexicanum and here. A hard void, only dust and echoes remaining. Except, with a bit of persistence, I chanced upon a memory of what once was. Archive Some hard facts with a spoonful of conjecture, and eye opening implications. I, in all my years in service to anons, have never found a fictional entity so befitting its reputation both in and out of canon. This fucker is downright inscrutable.

Dayum, nice find! --Thannak (talk) 06:35, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

cpmodels Another thing of note: they never made the extra bits for the old lesser daemon model, but they did make a new model for the updated sketch.

Squats

Maybe a race of Malal-worshippers?

Obliterator Virus

So here's a question, is the Obliterator Virus the work of Malal?

In their 6th Codex entry it describes Oblits as "The Sons of Destruction, the Cult of Annihilation, the Metal Storm"

Those first two do seem very "That's so Malal", and it's noted that Oblits go crazier, and crazier, and grow more destructive as they age, or incubate the Virus inside until they're frothing engines of mindless destruction that can only be pointed in a direction, even by the Dark Mechanicum, the people who claim to "make" the Oblit's what they are, while ostensibly just exposing them to as many different weapons and ammo stockpiles as possible.

Tyranids created by Malal?

i have two opinions on that. half of me thinks that would be FUCKING AWESOME. the other half does not want that at all, as i like the nids being a race of naturally evolved aliens who simply evolved to become the dominant species in the 40k universe. --Nicol bolas (talk) 07:42, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Malal-oriented Lost and Damned.

Imagine a planet of the Lost and the Damned who worshipped malal, but who also retained worship of the emreror as the other Great Enemy Of The Big Four. They are both Loyalists AND traitors, s befitting worshipers of the god of contradictions. Notably, it also contradicts the Sons of Malice who hate the imperium just as much as they do Chaos.

Canon Again?

Is the book "The Labyrinth"(https://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/the-labyrinth-ebook.html) canon because if it is then he is canon again. Feel free to edit below to answer.
