The Terror of Ultima Thule

The Cult of Ultima Thule had existed in the forests of Bavaria since before the time of the Romans, dutifully worshipping their gods - those trans-dimensional beings often known as the Outer Lords. And there they would have remained, quietly following the path to obscurity and eventual desuetude. That is had they not inducted into their ranks, in the autumn of 1934, the son of a Baddenkrag farmer, one Karl Franz. For Karl was no regular backwoods offspring, to be satisfied with quiet worship and the casual attentions of the Outer Lords through the mundane rituals of a moribund sect: a gifted young physicist and geneticist, Karl effortlessly blended the arcane with the scientific, bringing a new rationalism, a blend of cosmic nihilism totally at odds with the Cult's pastoral roots. But critically he brought power, a power the dull wits of the Cult had never so much as contemplated.

In the dark spirit of those dark times he was quick to grasp control, renaming his sect the Rationalists of Ultima Thule in honour of his scientific and supernatural inspirations. In the wider world, Karl's skills were quickly utilised by the Nazi government's war programme, whilst his standing in the spheres of the occult brought Franz - now renamed "Herr Drachen" to the attention of the Fuhrer himself - protecting the Cult from annihilation at the hands of jackbooted thugs.

Now in excess of a century old and only twisted and embittered by the passing decades, Drachen and the re-invigorated cultists (now more often known as "The Terror of Ultima Thule" - a name in which Drachen revels) prepare the Krystaal Omnihedron to release the monstrosities which are the Outer Lords on our unsuspecting, unprepared world.

Terror of Ultima Thule - Herr Drachen

Utilising the outputs of his Axis Project: Ubermensch, Drachen re-engineered his body, taking his physical and mental capacities to a near-inconceivable level. At the same time, as inspired as he was horrified by the ruin of the "thousand year Reich" at the hands of the Allies, Karl started down the path to an altogether more profound fate - not just for the Cult but for the entire human race. For if a force like the Axis could be brought up so short, so quickly then even his own powers - and that of his Cult must someday wane and die. Unless...

Terror of Ultima Thule - Ultimate Horror

Without a sufficiently strong body to occupy, the Outer Lords cannot long retain their form on our plane. Witness the madness of a Lord without a vessel!

Terror of Ultima Thule - Uberman

In the devastation of post-war Germany, the Ubermensch materials and even the treasures of Hitler's Museo Occult were Drachen's to plunder. Armed with both he began his greatest work - the Uberman - the realisation of that terrible vision of '45, the creation of flesh vessels strong enough to contain the very essence of the Outer Lords!

Terror of Ultima Thule - Blitzkreig

Capt Cavill was a renowned USAF pilot and poster boy for the Allies - at least until, shot down over the Baddenkrag forest, his shattered body was deliverd into Drachen's clutches! Now he is a vessel of the Outer Lords, giving these incalculably vast, impossibly wicked entities the way to enter, conquer even destroy our world: to realise the ultimate victory of the Cult of Ultima Thule.

Supplied with one 30mm plastic base.
