The toy robot is a really nice touch – it reminds me of the passage in Dan Abnett's Titanicus where he mentions the kids on the planet have clockwork tin toys of the Titans their planet is famous for they play with.<br /><br />Nice to had kids on the battlefield.

I think just like kids now, kids in the 41st Millennium would want toys of vehicles, spaceships and soldiers, so why not a robot :)<br /><br />Midlam is a great place - I also visited the shop recently and picked up the kid on my way back from Edinburgh.axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-3874057101247328282019-11-13T05:44:09.018+00:002019-11-13T05:44:09.018+00:00Thanks Kym!Thanks Kym!axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-15846700860862667832019-11-13T05:33:52.418+00:002019-11-13T05:33:52.418+00:00Great idea and well executed.

In the setting of RT kids would surely be seeing these kinds of robots from time to time, either during military parades or most likely while they're being repressed by them. They'd be keen to have, or make, toys of them.<br /><br />That's yet another little bit of the story that got left out of the BBB (aka the big blue book), but is a boon for creative types to fill in. I really love it Jon! We'll done mate :)<br /><br />p.s. Midlam make some great minis don't they!
