From MikeF - Corporate Security Droids - 50 Points

Last week I presented the wave 1 baddies for the game, Exploit Zero. This week I skip over wave 2 and go straight to 3 (wave 2 wasn’t primed yet). These are the top level threat of the game and arrive late in the game when the player agents have been battered fighting the 2 previous waves. Once these guys show up, it’s time to complete the objective and beat it. In cyberpunk settings, the corporations are usually messing around with robots and cyborgs, usually in the form of some secret weapon system or “initiative”. As such, wave 3 should be represented by something unburdened by human frailty.

I’ve had a group of Mantic Enforcers sitting around for years. I’ve never been a big fan of Mantic sculpts and the proportions of these models are a bit odd to look like humans are inside. That works perfectly for robots however (or cyborgs I suppose). Painting was kept simple and dark to reflect the cold, calculating malevolence of kill bots.

This guy represents an enemy Agent which provides an additional challenge for the players.





That’s 11 28mm miniatures for 55 points.

Thanks for visiting.

Oh yes, I also love a good battle droid. Nothing like an unstoppable, merciless and heavily armoured killing machine for a bit of table top fun!

  1. Pretty sure Google is note even waiting for the "Cyberpunk setting" to arrive before starting work on these.

    Great brushwork Mike. They look suitably no-nonsense, and those bases are excellent too - with subtle extra details that don't detract from the "you are about to be permanently secured" vibe...

  3. Nice kill-bots. The splash of color on the bases compliments their dark look.
