Turrets of missile launchers
I am doing some work on my plastic miniatures set, and now I wondered whether the turrets on the missile launchers can be rotated or not.
All pictures I saw so far have the turrets aligned to the front, but it seems to me they could rotate. What does the lore say on this subject? |

The ones I've built so far, I glued some down straight and some at an angle.

I did that with my heavies. 2 turned left, 2 turned right, the rest straight ahead.

I think there may be an illustration somewhere of a Paneuro missile tank with the turret turned to one side launching a missile.

Re: Turrets of missile launchers
I've seen a lot of micro-magnets used in FFG X-Wing Miniatures, especially on the B-Wing fighters to allow the wing to rotate in different positions around the cockpit.
Has anyone tried using small magnets to mount the turrets? Probably get a metric ton of those magnets at Hobby Lobby for a couple of dollars. That way you could turn the turrets anyway you wanted to position them. |

Re: Turrets of missile launchers
I didn't magnetize the turrets in my missile tanks, though I did use magnets for all the tank turrets.
There's a link to my blog in my signature, go there,scroll down to see the list of tags that will take you to various posts I have done over the years on my Ogre collection.

Re: Turrets of missile launchers
Use a little poster putty to hold it in place, That allows for movement.
