Some time ago I got this Crusader Robot, about time to do something with it!!

As you can see, it lacked the upper weapon, so I had to delve into my bits box. I was looking for a GW weapon, but somehow this other one appeared and... well, I had to do it, you know how this works.

I have no plans for it (yet). Though I must confess that some of the new Mechanicus stuff looks appealing to me, I'm not going to start a new army (yet :roll:). Anyway, red looked like a nice colour choice for this baby.

I may repaint the insectoid compound eyes to see if I can achieve a better effect. The hexagons are nice as a concept, but I still haven't been able to perform a decent result.

An absolutely lovely figure

; I have one stashed away too, as part of an entire Maniple.

I was planning on using them as a squad of Terminators, and adjusted their weaponry accordingly. Maybe yours can double as a Terminator with Assault Cannon?

Fabulous mate. Like the new weapon as well.

Absolutely SO not the way I remember it!

It's actually pretty cool!

Had no idea. No, really.

Oh, of course, great work.

Great! I like the colour scheme very much - touches like the white stripe, number and hexagonal eye patterns really add a lot of character to it. Great job!

Thank you! I believe the insectoid aspect adds a lot of charm, makes it quite distinctive. The only thing I fear is that this may become the beginning of a whole project! Brrr, shiver through the spine...

Nice work Suber, it looks great. The Crusader is the most iconic of those old RT robots I think, I would love to get my hands on one.

Forgeworld Vorax Battle Automata are the updated version of the crusader and they're beautiful models. Bit pricey at £50 for 3 figures though.

Forgeworld Vorax Battle Automata

The Vorax is nice too, but I get an additional bit of a nostalgia kick from the Crusader. I only want a single copy of each design anyway, so I hope to track down a Crusader one day.

The AdMech army is surely only a matter of time

Nice work

You KNOW you only bring this on yourself! You did beautiful work. You shared it. And, we shall be unmerciful in our asking for 'more more more!'

Okay, the Vorax IS handsome. But, *ouch*!

Hahaha, you mean people!

Forgot to add - lovely job on the Crusader!

You know the old-style AdMech stuff is really characterful... and that little guy looks so lonely...
