Axiom's Miscellaneous Rogue Trader Selection (p157: More Olley space rebels)

Didn't GW have a game that controlled Robots with flow charts.
I seem to recall they had sentient 'Bomb-Bots'
the last line from the write up was,
'You are green. I have fulfilled my programme...'

Love 'em!

You're thinking of an old Rogue Trader era White Dwarf article that added robots to 40K.  Used "design-your-own program" flowcharts like you said, and amusingly one of the sample ones had an unintentional error that produced a fatal crash every time.

The "you...are...green..." quote was spoken to an ork that had just gotten way too close for his own good.  Funny the things that stick in your memory, isn't it?

Always wanted to make some of these! Kind of Dalek looking, love your paint job on these

Sure is. I can remember things like that, but ask me about something
'important' & I am often stuck.

Tell me about it.  Not even just gaming stuff for me.  I can remember my first girlfriend's SSN better than my own, and have accidentally filled it in on forms in the past when I wasn't thinking about it.  Result is very different these days than it used to be - I did it again last year and instead of the usual "okay, that clearly isn't you" response I used to get, the gal behind the desk looked at me, looked back at her screen, and then politely asked me if I preferred to go by Richard or Susan.  People are a lot better about not wanting to risk mis-gendering folks now, which is kind of a good thing.

Still can't get people to call me Dick, though.

I think the less said about RT robot programmes the better really 

I agree though, I think they're cute too

[Genghis]

More very nice work as always.

Change your surname to 'Head'
I am often called by both your first & that last name,
& I haven't even thought of changing my name.

[Chief Lackey Rich]

Change your surname to 'Head'

Used to know a guy named Head.  To be fair, it was a nickname but pretty much everyone used it, including his parents.  He tried to change it the "the Penetrator" years later but didn't have a lot of luck with that.

This fun little vehicle is from Gydran Studio. I bought it expecting (hoping?) it was going to be much bigger, but it's a fun little transport vehicle to hang around my starport.







More words and pics over at my blog.

Lovely 

[Chief Lackey Rich]

Huh, never heard of Gydran before.  Some neat figs there, including your roller.  Thanks for the new catalog to stare at. 

Scale looks okay to me for 28mm, real-world vehicle cabs are frequently way smaller than you envision them being.  Or maybe it's built for a smaller-than-human species.  Squats and ratlings both spring to mind for RT.

I really like that, mate, especially as you made it look all painted and stuff.
