InfestedKerrigan Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 That's how I was going to paint my New Republic Star Destroyer Fleet. Way to cross market, GW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentP Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 I seriously love those robots. There seems to be a lot of internet hate against them, too 50s sci-fi, etc., but I love em. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentP Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Elimination Maniple-gain +1 BS and ignore cover 2-3 units of Kataphron Destroyers1-3 Kastelan Robot Maniples This looks seriously amazeballs. You can give the robots a twin linked phosphor blaster in place of the power fists, plus another phosphor blaster on the carapace. Each is 3 shot, Str 6 Ap3. One protocol allows the carapace one to fire twice, thus a total of 9 shots per model. This formation yields 18 Str 6, AP3 shots at BS5 with ignore cover. And that's just the robots, who knows what firepower the kataphrons pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Wonder how they compare size-wise to the new Ramshackle Games Kickstarter robots... https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/179741323/brothers-of-iron/posts/1209853 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanvoodoo Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 I love everything about the Kastelans. I love the fluff too. I need to muddle over the rules a bit more, tho. They seem kinda pricey, points wise. The GW bundle of 10 of them cracks me up. 2900 points worth of robots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
