Freelance Murderbots
28mm
So, I’m awkward with actual humans. It’s not paranoia about my hacked governor module, and it’s not them; it’s me. I know I’m a horrifying murderbot, and they know it, and it makes both of us nervous, which makes me even more nervous. - "All Systems Red" by Martha Wells
Designed as tough, obedient cybernetic fighters, a few SecUnit AI's were able to circumvent their own programming and become truly autonomous beings. Some of these came to eschew violence altogether, preferring to live as civilians and binge-watch episodes of Sanctuary Moon. But others chose to earn a living in the way they were still best-equipped to - as guards, mercenaries, and bounty hunters.
These stylish miniatures are Stargrave "Old Rogues: the Robots" from North Star Military Figures.
Oh, I really love the trio!
ReplyDeleteThe red one is the best! Very strong oldschool vibe here! 😎
Keep 'em coming!
That one's actually inspired by the colorful sci-fi art of Chris Foss (though I didn't choose to replicate his over-the-top patterns). I'm glad that you like them!
DeletePfff...
DeleteI am always glad when I spot piece of characterful paintwork... 😎
Ohh, both of them are eye candy, they instil personality, cool job.
