As any player (I think) that has been around for a while and have an IG or SM army, I have a whole bunch of robots laying around. With my ideas on using robots in drop pods, and now a unit for the squats, I hope we all can dry the dust off theese guys.

This is a unit I made shortly after watching the latest Star Wars movie, and with the recent discussions around Squats, and lately robots/walkers I thought this was a proper time to present the unit.

 
Ironbreaker Armoured Robot Squadron (Company Card)
The Ironbreaker Armoured Robot Squadron consist of two robot detachments and one super heavy command vehicle. The role of the command vehicle is to transports the robot detachments into battle, and then control the robots.

 As long as the command vehicle is operational, the owning player can give orders to the robots as normal. If the command vehicle should be destroyed, the robots will go back to their prewritten programs. The command vehicle has to be within 25 cm of the robotdetachments to be able to give them orders. If the vehicle is further away than this, the robots will go back to their prewritten programs.

 The command vehicle is considered a commander, so all rules for commanders applies to this vehicle

Due to the technical nature of this units, the availability is somewhat scarce. Only one IARS is allowed pr 3000 points.

Models: For the vehicle, use any suitable tank of super heavy size without big guns. For robots, any robotic looking 6 or 10 mm miniature will do.
