Being completely ignorant of Warhammer 40k, we wonder if the four robots maniples must be framed in a larger unit, or act independently. Consequently, do they all have to have the same color scheme, or will there be minor variations from maniple to maniple? Finally, the color schemes of the Imperial robots in the Eighties are really curious, almost harlequin with the brightly colored paintings ... Have they been completely abandoned in the more recent versions?Rodorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792645011290022106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266200265116124990.post-64082379628417308172021-12-06T11:31:18.451+00:002021-12-06T11:31:18.451+00:00Thank you.

There were other things to spend money and points on at the time, and you require four of the same robot to create a Maniple for the army lists.<br />They are difficult to buy now, e-Bay is quite expensive. I just collected them over time and bided my time.

Also, they will be a lot less complicated than the more intricate Imperial ones.

I always liked the Robots at the time, but never focused on collecting them until later. <br />I wasn't planning on painting them yet, but looking at them I might paint the Crusaders soon.
