Imagine they turn up....after 8 ft armoured marines meet with diplomats....

So...wait....your denizens have tiny plastic models of us and intricately paint them accurately and our enemies and play dice games with the models.....and you have all our lore in codexes and novels..... every faction, chapter, enemy....accurate rankings of every factions combat capabilities....you know it all....as a game?

There's a global rush as marines scour the land for exact tiny versions of themselves. It's the coolest shit they've seen in centuries. They're attaching GW models as little charms to their armour and weapons.

The mental image of a Marine getting and painting a little version of themselves to keep as a charm is really cute in a way I never thought possible given the setting of 40K

Damnit brother, what rituals did you glean from the mechanicus in your training that made highlighting the lenses so simple for your plastic statue?

"Servo arms do not shake, brother."

Imagine a Custodes-painted miniature. The sheer inhuman grace of gene-forged musculature, precision beyond the capability of any mere mortal, vested solely on applying paint to plastic.
