Title: Miniatures of the Fortnight #48: Artillery Vehicles Special
Post by: Xiwo Xerase on 30 July 2018, 21:12:02

On this very special fortnight, we're looking at a category of unsung units, artillery vehicles.  I feel like there are two groups of people when it comes to artillery vehicles: Those that like artillery and those that haven't played with artillery.

For the purpose of this article, an artillery vehicle is defined as a combat vehicle that has an artillery special on MUL.  This may result in a larger-than-expected list of vehicles.  The vehicles with miniatures are:

• Aithon Assault Transport (http://www.camospecs.com/IWM/Details/1628/aithon-assault-transport) (20-5091)
• Chaparral Missile Tank (http://www.camospecs.com/IWM/Details/794/chaparral-missle-tank) (20-333)
• Danai Support Vehicle (http://www.camospecs.com/IWM/Details/1334/danai-support-vehicle) (20-494)
• Gun Trailer (both the Arrow IV variant and a tube variant) (BT-312)
• Huitzilopochtli Assault Tank (http://www.camospecs.com/IWM/Details/108/huitzilopochtli-assault-tank) (20-206)
• Marksman Artillery Vehicle (http://www.camospecs.com/IWM/Details/507/marksman-self-propelled-artillery) (20-631)
• Mobile Long Tom Artillery LT-MOB-25 (http://www.camospecs.com/IWM/Details/530/long-tom-artillery-lt-mob-25) (20-751)
• Padilla Heavy Artillery Tank (http://www.camospecs.com/IWM/Details/615/padilla-heavy-artillery-tank) (20-277)
• Schiltron Mobile Fire-Support PLatform Prime (http://www.camospecs.com/IWM/Details/673/schiltron-tank) (20-299)
• Testudo Siege Tank (BT-416, coming soon!)
• Thor Artillery Vehicle (http://www.camospecs.com/IWM/Details/992/thor-artillery-vehicle) (20-619)

If you have any of these painted, please share.  We'd love to see them!

As always, thank you for reading, and a special thank you to those who post.

Our next two fortnights will be:

• Inner Sphere (8/13): Warhammer
• Clan (8/27): Warhammer IIC

It sounded like a neat variant and I had an extra Galleon hull
