Iron Wind Metal Turret

Turret-16

I picked up this miniature ages ago at a convention.  At the time IWM was selling these turrets and bases in a pick and choose format.  You picked a base and a turret you wanted for just a few bucks.  With plenty of weapons to choose from it was too tempting to pass up.  I went with a LRM variant although there were options for lasers or autocannons.  Sadly I cannot find anything in the IWM store that I could point you to if you wanted to buy one yourself.  This may have been a one time thing for conventions.

UPDATE:

A helpful reader has picked out the turrets on the IWN store!  Mix and match to your hearts content!

The base coat for this miniature started with Slaanesh Grey (two coats) and Plague Brown on the details on the launcher face.

A quick wash of future floor finish and black ink worked wonders to shade the mini.

Highlighting was done with dry brushing on Stonewall Grey and then coming back with a few choice lines with the detail brush.  The yellow was brought up with successive coats of Plague Brown and Moon Yellow.  Some final details were added with black followed up with Gunmetal Grey to bring our fins or grids where I found them.  Very simple stuff here.  Its only a turret after all!

All together a nice and quick paint job and something to add to a raid or defensive objective game.

    “Sadly I cannot find anything in the IWM store that I could point you to if you wanted to buy one yourself.”

    That’s because IWM put them in the terrain category of their online store. AND split them up into two sub categories there.
