Here are 2 new monsters my group have added to our Space Crusade games recently





There was a little debate as to whether the 'Heavy Weapon Android' should in fact be a Necron Immortal - in the end we reasoned that we should stick with the original names from Space Crusade and call them Androids. Of course most people will probably be using Necron Immortals miniatures with this rules so they will probably end up getting called Immortals anyway (my group tend to fall into the habit of calling the Chaos Androids 'Necrons' anyway and the phrase Heavy Necron passed over the table a few times when these monsters appeared). My group however aren't atually using Necron Immortals for Heavy Weapon Androids - the rules were intended to represent these ...


 ^Heavy Weapon Androids I converted by replacing a few broken weapons with Tau guns I got from a bring and buy sale at THW last year

Of course you may not want go about cutting up your Chaos Androids (they may be all in good condition or you don't have any to spare or both). and you probably don't want to go spending money on rather expensive brand new Necron miniatures either. So there's always eBay to search for old and 2nd hand ones, but here's some nice cheap alternatives for your Necron/Android needs

  
 ^These Skeletal Robots from EM4 Miniatures are just £1.28 each! 


 ^ Copplestone Castings make these very similar Terminator Robots (product code: FW15 Terminator Robots) £8.50 for a pack of 5 which make for great Androids but you'd need to convert the heavy weapons 


 ^ on the same note take a look these Cyber-Reavers $9.99 US from Reaper Miniatures


 ^ These 'Talos Units' from Scotia Grendel make for some nice different looking Heavy Android Types and while you're on the Scotia Grendel Website check out the 'Hellcats' from the same range which would make excellent Dreadnought Replacements
