    Default alternate model for Sabre Platforms

    Hey guys,
    just a quick question to all those among you that know the wider market/smaller companies better than I do:
    I'm looking for alternatives for Sabre Platforms - i.e. cool-looking single-manned (or small crew) turrets/gun emplacements, ideally with multiple barrels since the Sabre's weapons are twin-linked.
    maybe something along the lines of the Geth Turrets from ME3?

    How about a Space Crusade Tarantula? That way you would even be using a GW model. If you don't like Las Cannons, just cut the barrels off and replace.

    hmm... well puppetswar.eu has some razorback turret style things that might work, they are kinda cheap, compared even to china recasts.

    Dream forge also has a few options that can work, like quad stubbers, but you only get one.

    I know in real life that there was a 4 barrel .50 cal gun thing, so you could look for a 25mm model of that, and kit bash it.

    I like those Space Crusade tarantulas immensely! and they're quite cheap to boot... thanks for that!
    the puppetswar stuff looks nice as well; the crew might just use some sort of remote control for lack of visible controls...
    the Dreamforge bits are great quality as well, but since I want a coherent battery of guns and not the variety they have in that pack I'll pass on that... but thanks regardless!

    Definitely not the cheapest route. But I like the Forgeworld Tarantula kits. I used the bases to make my thunderfire cannons. Found them on ebay. Since they have the common turret base hole, they can be switched out to different turret weapons.
