The best thing about robots is that they're easy to paint! Knocking out the entire Volgan faction from the Warlord Games 'Increase the Peace' starter set for their ABC Warriors game took just a couple hours, and by the time they're done these Soviet-inspired war droids hit the table they'll look the business!
