Laser Turret in Episode IV "A New Hope" |
My assembled laser turrets in place of asteroids |
The turrets can be purchased from FAT Dragon Games. If you do not already have a Death Star mat the download file comes with Space Station Tiles, 3D Asteroids and the 3D Turrets all for $6.99. You can print it as many times as you need to make larger battlefields and replace ones that get worn over time.

Assembly was very easy.
1. I gathered the materials needed.
Scissors
White glue
Card stock
Styrene plastic card (Optional)
2. Print as many sheets as you need on a heavier card stock paper. The turrets print two to a page.

4. Fold and glue the turrets together. I was careful not to apply to much glue and make sure you pre-fold/crease all corners before applying any glue.
5. Once fully assembled I then glued them to the Styrene sheet and cut the base out to provide a stronger base that will not get bent up during storage of transport.
Fully Assembled ready for action |
Whenplaying I also have a set of squares the same size as the turret bases. When a ship comes in contact with a turrets (treated like an asteroid for game purposes) I simply replace the turrets with the 2D square so the ship or template can be placed on top and not interfer with game play.
Enjoy!
They look great. Thanks for the link.
