Hey Everyone,

I'm looking for suggestions as to where I can find emplacements suitable for Imperial Guard heavy weapons teams. Some examples of what I am looking for:





Creating my own wouldn't be to difficult, but I am interested to see what kinds of products are out there or if any Dakka members have any recommendations.

Thanks for your time

In case those aren't your pictures, they're old OOP FW terrain pieces. If you want to get those the heavy weapon team ones seem to come up pretty frequently on ebay. Of course you should also know that they're not even close to legal base size, so they're only useful as diorama projects.

Thanks again for the reply Peregrine. So Forgeworld use to make these? Shame they are OOP. I assume it is because as you mentioned they are not the appropriate legal base size. I guess my best bet is to get some clay & create my own sandbags etc?

You should be easily able to create sandbags with greenstuff. A friend of mine plays IG and did some sandbags for heavy weapons team without much effort.

There are some pre-made good-looking bases too:

From "Micro Art Studios": http://www.shop.battlefield-berlin.de/index.php/katalog/showarticles/85480-1-trench.html

and another this time from "Tabletop Art" : http://www.shop.battlefield-berlin.de/index.php/katalog/artikelinfo/32486-1-show-trench_warfare_base_60_mm_rund_1_1.html

Thanks DraconicLord. Those are neat. I'm one of the backers for Raging Heroes too! Can't wait for Ludmilla Magdanova as my Officer of the Fleet!

Just be careful with the cluttered bases. Those details may look awesome, but you need quite a bit of flat space to put the gun and two crew models. Good luck doing that on any of the bases in the first link.

True, I feel the "Tabletop Art" ones are much better for 40k but I like to provide different options I am also assuming the Hvy Weapons Teams are 60 mm bases? I think it's the same as the sentinels, right?

Yeah, I may not be using those particular bases but the more options the better.

Secretweaponminiatures has sandbags and other goodies helpful for making those bases pop.
