Planetfall - Beacons

 The first introductory scenario involves your scouts deploying beacons on your new colony.

So I needed some suitable models.

Anvil have a Drone Sensor Turret that looked suitable. On its own it might look silly, so the Reinforced Tripod gave it the look of something that could have been dropped on the battlefield.

The mounting point of the tripod is about 2.4mm diameter which conveniently I have a supply of Evergreen tube in that size. A 1.6mm hole in the base of the turret took a piece of 1.6mm plastic rod, opening out the tube with a 1.6mm drill completed the transition.

Again, the basic colour was Citadel The Fang, drybrushed with Citadel Terminatus Stone  and shaded with Citadel Drakenhof Nightshade.

The aerial is Vallejo Black Grey.
