Hey guys,

Looking to use a Forge World Sabre Defense Platform with a Searchlight, but no one seems to make these any more. Any ideas on a good counts as? I saw that Kromlech does a similar one but I'd like to find one that has a bit of a larger light, you know? Maybe there's a bat signal out there somewhere.....

Yeah I saw that. Not a huge fan of wood, but if there aren't other options....

I think the platform wouldn't be that hard to fabricate out of some balsa, card, and perhaps the Valkyrie Door Gunner part.

The light part could be produced from a piece of pipe or the metal bit from a small candle.

Guardsmen, hear me! Cadia may lie in ruin, but her proud people do not! For each brother and sister who gave their lives to Him as martyrs, we will reap a vengeance fiftyfold! Cadia may be no more, but will never be forgotten; our foes shall tremble in fear at the name, for their doom shall come from the barrels of Cadian guns, fired by Cadian hands! Forward, for vengeance and retribution, in His name and the names of our fallen comrades!

The searchlight part should be easy to acquire from any historical line that covers WWI-Vietnam. The legs are pretty similar to a Tarantula Turret's, so unless they stopped making those too you should be able to source those there (or just use whatever the searchlight came with).

You could also use a model from a O gauge railroad set, and just say that it's a particularly large searchlight.

The Fortress of Redemption has some pretty huge search lights... not sure if they're the same size or a tad smaller though. I see them on Ebay from time to time.
