Yeah, sort of. I've never seen it in the flesh but I've noticed one or two on eBay and years ago in the E40K Firepower magazine as a converted Stompa. I believe it's a veeeery old Tinbot for 40K and would look great in anyone's collection as a Stompa IMO.

Tinbot

I had a few actually. Sold them on ebay. I may have 1 or 2 left - unsure.

Wish I had kept them now for either epic or Bloodbowl. Thems the breaks I guess...

That is a Runtbot from waaaay back in the day. Crewed by a Snotling & employed by Runtherds to protect the runts.

Runtbot is correct.

From WAAARGH Da Orks, they were a forcefield projecting robot programmed to follow the herd of grots.  This kept the grots from geting knocked off until they could get into close combat where they are, obviously, at their best. :vD

Great Stompa proxy and kind of looks similar to the old metal Stompas.

Yeah. I am always a bit amazed just how good those old Ork models really are. Lots of rivets and wonderful little details.I'm glad they decided to reuse some of them when the released E:A. Too bad some of the newer models aren't quite on par.

Drat! Wrong again! Still, thanks for the history lesson on the Runtbot, never even knew they had such a thing.

L4, nice mini as usual.  :agree:

Did I say Tinbot?

Oh man. Teaches me to be too lazy in the future to look up the catalogue for the correct name....
