With the release of Fallout season 2 just around the corner, I figured it was time to get back to wasteland. Though the current edition of the "This Is Not A Test" rules is lacking a robot expansion, I couldn't resist adding these mechanical menaces to my roster of creatures. As with much of collection, these 32mm miniatures are 3D prints designed by Vermilion Miniatures; they run the same size as my offical Fallout miniatures and have similar design aesthetics.
Leading my robot forces is the Mechanist supervillain, with a Robobrain cyborg as his lieutenant. The dome that came with the Robobrain wasn't transparent, so I made one from scratch. This was done by heating some clear plastic while a metal mixing was resting atop of it and allowing gravity to create the dome. The results wasn't entirely perfect, but I liked being able to see the figure's brain.
Though not a close design match for Fallout, I have proxies for a Mister Handy series utility robot and an Eyebot. While I prefer the offical designs for these robots, these will get the job done.
Military Assaultron-style combat robots.
Protectron inspired utility robots. Vermilion designed these as multi-part kits featuring a variety of subclasses, so you can mix and match the bits for variety.
Sentrybots. These robots are fairly large and very heavily armed; Each caries a minigun, energy weapon and grenade launcher. I expect they will be quite deadly during games.
Hopefully 2nd edition offical robot stats will come out soon, but in the meantime I'll cobble something together to get them on the table.
