Is the Squat Robot Command Vehicle able to command ALL squat robots within 25 cm or only the ones bought with the companycard?

if I buy the company card + 1-5 more Robot detachment can it control all detachments within 25 cm?

either way clearer rules in the rulebook would be appreciated ^_^

I have always taken it to mean (but thanks now I'm no longer sure) that any robot detachment taken can be controlled by this unit. Perhaps the detachments must be attached to the same company as the control vehicle as some additional less obvious restriction.

whether its better then a thunderer detachment I don't know, but it adds flavor to the army =)
The quickdraw and inorganic abilities can be quite good to have though!

besides, I have over 30 Robots from SM and squat sprues and I want to use em =)

Good enough. :)

And the quickdraw can be good for sniping. Can be great against the "fireonthefly"! tau suits!

I modified an old Stormhammer hull with a crane and fire control centre from a 1/700th ship kit...looks ok.

Description isn't too clear.  I think Warheads' solution of detachments attached to the company card can be controlled sounds pretty good.

The Leviathan is an easy model to use, but I prefer the conversions. Please post a pic of the Stormhammer chassis Robo-Controller Zap. Very interested. I've looked at BFG parts before and had been wondering if they would work for Epic.

I think this is really good too. Can we add that to the rules as an optional before extensive testing has occurred?

Primarch?
