So what's the deal with the Tin Bot or TinBot or Runt Bot or whatever it's called.

I couldn't find them in the Epic Armageddon Compendium.
How many of these suckers can you field?
What is their cost?
Who can you field them with?

Those are Tin-bots. We run them in groups of 5, like Imperial robots ... Like in SM1 & SM2 ... Depends on what rules you are using. We use SM1/SM2 : 5 = 150 pts. As far as fielding them. SM1, generally 0-2 Mobs/Warband. Or SM2 0-3 per Company level card ... IIRC ...

These are the rule sets we are using

Epic Armageddon Compendium V2
http://onyxworkshop.files.wordpress.com ... 2-1_en.pdf

In there Squats have Robot Cohort 5 Robots for 175 points

I would use them as a Ork Dreadnaught.

IIRC wasn't that a Rogue Trader era figure and not epic?

They make a good stompa proxy I'd expect (don't remember their size)

In EA, ork stuff is meant to be almost all unique one-offs, so that the rules group them in loose classes instead of giving each type a precise name. Any ork walker would fall somewhere on this continuum (small to large):

killah kan - dreadnought - stompa - supa stompa - gargant - great gargant

Pick a size you think is appropriate and consistent with the rest of your army, and use the rules for that.

Hi JZ,

they're tiny mate. And, given the 1 cc + 1 gun weaponry, ideal as killa kan proxies IMO

^good to know^

They are epic models i have a few myself. Can't remember if they are SM1 or SM2 era, dreadnought sized.

Here is a size comparison of them with an old epic stand.

Were they not supposed to be stompas? Tinbots were a 40k creation and were the same size as the squat, marines and elder they represented?

Here's the 40K Runt-bot, that many/I use for an Epic Stompa ...

Legion,

I like the flag on the Gobsmasha.

Thanks ! The rear wheels on that one did not mold out well. So I replaced them with some extra 1/72 scale Pz.IV road wheels ...
