Epic Walker Week - Conqueror Robots

The Legio Cybernetica is the arm of the Adeptus Mechanicus reponsible for autonomous battle robots.  Robots are deployed in maniples of 4.  A maniple can be a mixture of different types but I've chosen to keep mine each to a single type.

In the original Space Marine/Adeptus Mechanicus "Codex Titanicus" supplement, robot maniples were given "programme" counters which would last for the entire game, plus objective markers to place on their target points.  The situation around them dictated which orders the robots automatically received each turn, e.g. if a maniple with "Take and Hold" orders had arrived at their objective marker, they would switch to First Fire orders.

Robot maniples would usually be painted in Legio Cybernetica colours but I've painted mine to match my Crimson Fist Space Marines.

The Conqueror is a tank hunter, armed with an autocannon in the right arm, power fist in the left arm and a back-mounted heavy bolter for anti-infantry work.

A couple of points of interest: Conqueror! was the name of the original White Dwarf article on robots in 1st edition Adeptus Titanicus, hence my decision to start my Walker Week with this particular design. The Conqueror also appeared in a smaller, weedier guise in on the Epic Space Marine sprues, not much larger than the basic infantry and in a much more static pose than the earlier metal version.
