Sabre gun platform

The sabre gun platform is an STCweapons system designed for

defence and static emplacement inthe Anti air role. It can howeverbe effectively deployed againstground targets.

The platform can be fitted with arange of weapons including:

-Heavy Stubbers pair and quad.

-Heavy Bolters

-Autocannon

Sabre platforms are manufacturedon several major and minor Forgeworlds.

Variants to the design can beobserved and are attributable toredistribution and conservative

use of resources.

Sabre platforms are distributedwidely in Guard, Naval groundforces and Planetary Defence

Force units.

Intensive training is requiredwhen the system is deployed inthe AA role if munitions

expenditure is to be effectivelymanaged

Fabrication Stage 1: The Base

Drill a hole through the centreof the 40mm base. The hole wants

to be of a size to accommodatethe plastic rod that thefabricator is using. Brass rod

or tube may be used which willgive a stronger joint.

Glue the 40mm base to theembossed plasticard and allow itto dry (overnight ideally) .

Cut round the base and sand to

ensure a nice even disc. Drillthrough the hole created earlierand through the plasticard.

Stage 2.

Cut the sprue into roughly 30mmlong lengths and then cut the

ends at an angle like so.

Stage 3.

Glue the legs to the base. Inorder to ensure that the legs

are evenly spaced round the base

form an equilateral trianglearound the hole that has beendrilled in the middle as shownin image 3. At this stage if thefabricator has the resources

pads may be added to the legs.Plasticard of an appropriatethickness and a hole punch willachieve the required effect.

Fabrication Stage 4: The Gun

support

The fabricator should cut the

base off the lamp post ensuring

a straight clean cut.

A further cut in the location

shown on image 4 is required in

order for the gun support post

be the correct height.

Drill the bottom of the post to

accept a length of plastic rod

or tube ensuring that it is long

enough to pass through the top

and bottom of the base.

Stage 5.

Once dry (again overnight

ideally) it may be installed to

the base. If the fabricator

wishes the gun mount to rotate

the post should not be glued.

Stage 6.The smoke grenade discharger

support from the Baneblade or

Shadowsword is added to the top

of the post. This will support

the gun mount.

Fabrication Stage 7: The Gun

mount

The example shown here is for

the heavy bolter.

2 lengths of plastic rod were

cut and glued into place. One inthe holes in the bolters (where

they join the Turret of the

immolator). The other, of a

smaller diameter to the rear.

The heavy weapons arms will

attach to this.

Stage 8.

Add a length of T- bar level

with the ammo hoppers and addone of the Ork sights or

something similar.

An Auspex could be used towards

the rear of the gun if a more

sophisticated sighting system

was called for.

Stage 9.

Glue the guns to the support

post and the crewman to the

guns.

Success Fabricator! Now return

to your stores and start a

production line. Additional

detail may be added to taste.

Notably the Ork sprues provide

empty cases both as they are

ejected from the gun or in apile on the floor.
