Need some "BIG STOMPY ROBOTS"?
« on: May 12, 2011, 01:43:50 AM »



Picked these up dirt cheap at a local Dollar General.  I think they could make great heavy war droids for a number of sci-fi games. 

More on my blog.

I picked up these sets from the Family Dollar store. I am not even a fan of the mecha-style robots, but these were just too cool to pass up!

I'm not a big Mecha person either.  I'm kinda into Battletech but I see larger war droids and mechs like these as being support weapons.  Like a Dreadnought in a Space Marine Army. 

I've got one painted up for my space pirates and I'm working on a couple generic "mercs".  I've got one I've disarmed and it is going to be painted up as a heavy utility droid.

I bought all of them for the same reason.  I purchased mine last year, but could never find the vehicles advertised on the packaging.  They look like really good conversion fodder as well.
