Darrell takes a look at another terrain set from Dream Pod 9. This time it's the defence turrets turrets that you can use to defend your badlands outpost.
Not a huge amount of detail or artistry, but then that’s not the point of these – they are supposed to be functional defensive structures. What there is (the modular way they’re built for ease of repair or maintenance, the exposed piping and tough-looking door giving that crude Badlands feel) is pretty decent.
Those look simple but practical as they should be.
Nasty looking mold lines on the rocket pods.
A cool part about them is how you don’t spend your army points on them. You spend you support points (quantity of SPs depend on the size of game). 2 SPs for the Heavy Autocannon Turret (nice range and linked) or 3 SPs for the Heavy Rocket Pod turret (High damage x23 or huge 6″ AOE and can fire indirectly). It’s a nice solid option. Alternately you can lave the gun off and place the base part as an observation bunker for 1 SP to put some infantry in to observe for artillery.
