An issue of white dwarf (round about 104) I think introduced programming for robots whereby you would construct a sort of flow chart to determine what a robot did in any given turn depending on the conditions rather than choose what the unit did. You paid points for each component of the program. I never played them but spent ages doing what I now realise was basically computer programming optimisation. :)

<p>Yes, Forgeworld has been re-vamping these rules for 30k (heresy-era) games.  The only current re-vamp is the Castellax, which is a variant of the Castellan (#2 or #4 in the pic).</p>

Are you able to answer to where exactly they're from? That's part of the question too.

<p>I found a picture of an old advertisement for Warhammer 40,000.
It shows "ROBOTS", which resemble Terminators or Space Marines somewhat. </p>

<p>Here's a copy of the image:</p>

<p>Which army are these robots from?  Can they still be fielded in modern 40K?</p>

Could they be [Imperial Robots](http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Robots)?

These are from the bygone days of Rouge Trader, when you could field Imperial Robots. GW's fluff and art direction where less mature at this point and you got lots of random stuff like this.
