Me and a couple of friends regularly played Inquisitor for a couple of years and ended up with fair few characters with loads of history, fluff both good guys (well i suppose they could be called good guys) some villans and some fun story plots and senarios. Anyway our band of well guys for lack of a better word centered around a free trader, one of the main characters and some of the muscle he employed, an ex-guardsman, a gun slinger along with some others. One of these characters came in the form of a clunking battle servitor, affectionately named Dave.
We didn't want it to be overpowered as it was hard as nails to take down so we made it that it had to recieve commands from another pc, usually the trader and would follow these basic commands until told otherwise; follow, attack, stop, engage, stop, etc, which made it quite interesting at times when the trader got knocked unconsious. We also made it have a low amount of actions to reflect that it didn't react very fast and didn't think for itself. The rules we came out with actually workled really well for Dave although he got in a bad habbit of never really doing anything right out of a campaign we ran for a good few weeks mostly down to bad luck than anything else. So it ended up with no one really expecting him ever to do much.
Though his crowning achivement had to be in the same campaign in the very last senario, having not really done much apart from miss most targets as per usual the whole game the Inqisitor warband and rival trader warband were too late in stopping the chaos cultists from summoning a deamon prince that was expected to kill most if not everyone. Ofcourse Dave was having none of this and after such horrible, and i do mean HORRIBLE luck all campaign he leved his grenade launcher and took a pot shot at the newly born deamon prince hitting it square in the chest from very extreme range, it took double dmg as the GM had made it's chest/head vulnerable to certain attacks thinking nothing would really have hurt it. So ended in a bit of an anti climax, the deamon was on the table for less than 30 seconds and Dave was feeling quite chuffed with himself.
Anyway thats a bit of story behind him, heres some pics i have on my comp, not great quality but gives a good idea what he looks like.
The convertion used parts from a plastic Dred, Defiler, Sentinel, Leman Russ, Orc Wartrack and parts and anything else that i found in my bits box. He's painted now so will see if i can get some new pics up sometime in the future.
