That's just hilarious,  it's an immediate must have!

So if the Mk 1 Handy Andy is an Odd Job bot, would the Mk 7 Companion Andi be a........ nope, I can't think of anything.  ;D

Thank you, sir.
Much appreciated.

As for the various uses: I am getting a fair bit of feedback from the Backers revealing planned uses, and a fair few are for things that I had not even considered or even knew existed.

I promised myself no more kickstarters this year, so I am glad this got funded so quickly; I will pick them up when they are available on the website.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

2019 Painting Challenge :
figures bought: 500+
figures painted: 57
9 vehicles painted
4 terrain pieces scratchbuilt

Here are some quickly painted examples of the Androids in some sample colour schemes.




They would probably look better on more neutral or 'Urban' bases but I have based these to fit in with my own Outland/Inq28 settings.

The 'Andy' Series

The original Android model in this series was first designed and built by Andym Industries. Therefore, when the BB Corporation acquired the design and created the later variants, this series of Bot models was named the 'Andy' to reflect their origins.

The Mk 1.


The original Andym Industries Android, now known as the Mk 1, is a general purpose bot that can deal with a wide variety of tasks depending on which programming chip is installed,




 Typical examples of Mk 1 usage are far ranged with units used as administrators, translators and serving in retail outlets as well as seeing use in air traffic control, parking enforcement and information centres.

As you can see from these examples alone, it is a very versatile model.




 The above example has been finished in 'factory white' which is the most common colour for this model.
