It took some doing, but I think I've got an appropriate entry for this. Proof:

Firestrike Servo Turrets. I figure a pair of gun emplacements defending a fixed position kind of fits the theme. Yes, technically these guns can move, but not quickly, and so would only be useful for defending a certain location as opposed to something like a tank that can also be used offensively.

Paradigm, you and this yearly challenge you've created have definitely inspired me to get better at painting. Looking back at some of my first entries and then comparing them to my most recent ones has been a real eye-opener for me as to just how far I've come as a painter, and I mainly have these comps to thank for it. I'm sorry to see you go as the person running it as it was always obvious how much of a labor of love it was for you, but I totally understand your reasons for stepping down. I do hope you'll get some more entries into the challenge in the future, as your style was always very different and interesting. Nevelon's got some big shoes to fill, for sure, but I'm confident he's more than equal to the challenge (I think he's the only person who has entered every single challenge thus far).
