Does anyone know if there were more characters available than "Satanbot", "Insane Bot", "Folder Bot", "Doc Lobster" and "Hooker Tranny Bot"?




Looks like there's a few other bots for sale currently on the armorcast site,  including the hooker tranny bot

Thanks.  It looks a bit like Zoidberg won a bet (or that the Nameless lost one).

Thanks!  :)

He blends in seamlessly. =)

I never clicked with Futurama, but not-Zoidberg makes a fun model. Nice highlighting on the coat and pants, too!

I think all 3 in tha back row are DreadBall Nameless players (really weird aliens)

Besides that, it could be a new strand of Genestealer  lol

The very question on my lips...Dreadball nameless. Must have a look.

As a few others have said, the other figures in that photo are DreadBall Nameless with a pretty quick paintjob.








Mantic have a single Nameless assassin - "Oberon" - available for Deadzone next year (Kickstarter backers already have it) too if non sci-fi sport squid figures are what you are after.

Just got a reply from Armorcast:

The fellows are up on the site now. Hopefully by the end of this  coming week there will be a new slacker delivery boy available as well.

Thats good news (everyone).

Armorcast seem to be selling enough volume to justify adding to the range, which is great.  Heres hoping that 2014 brings not-Hermes, not-Hubert, not-Amy, not-Leela and not-Nibbler.  It is quite far down the rabbit hole, but I would love to paint an Enema-bot too.

The Futurama Xmas episodes featuring St Nick-bot were all rather weak, but considering the time of year I guess I will also pick that up, once the Delivery Boy appears.

There was a Kickstarter this year that was making a pulp rocket ship in 28mm.  I remember thinking that it would make a decent "close enough" Planet Express Ship proxy.

You may be thinking of ships from War Rocket, which you can see on my friend's battle report here:
http://laughingferret.blogspot.com/2012/12/space-battles-in-flash-few-test-games.html

The largest is similar to the Planet Express ship... out of scale for Zoidberg, of course!

It was this one from Bombshell Miniatures that I was thinking of actually.  It has a similar raygun-gothic aesthetic to the War Rocket stuff, but its 28mm. 




Its not a very close match for Planet Express Ship structurally, plus its probably a bit too small, but painted in the right colours it would fit in adequately enough I think.

Actually, I've always wanted one in 28mm for something completely different. War Rocket... Ajax!  ;)

Wait. Farce/farce. Okay, not COMPLETELY different....

I have been painting robots in my Sci-Fi Non-Combatants project and in my collaborative Judge Dredd project recently, but the latest robot doesnt really fit into either of those threads, so it goes here.





Roberto is an insane robot that features in Futurama, just like the Zoidberg that I painted and put in this thread a while back.  I forgot to take a photo of the two of them alongside each other, duh.  I will remedy that at a later stage.



Im going to have to pick up one of the Hedonist Bot models at some stage too.  Its a must have.

The Roberto blog post is here.
