The new Phobos conversion kits for Deimos Pattern Predators from Pop Goes the Monkey will give you all kinds of weapon options!
Pop Goes the Monkey always comes out with some of the most excellent minis and bits on the market! They basically have something for every faction out there and all kinds of games. They are a great place to start if you want to upgrade your army. They seem to add new bits to their site every week, so if you need something, chances are they have it.
This time, they added some upgrade kits to make your Deimos weapons easy to swap out and magnetize ust remember you’ll need the turret (the first thing we’ll look at), then the other weapons to add to that!
They can also be used just to convert a Rhino. So if you have some sitting around it may be a perfect time to add that extra firepower! Let’s get into it.
Phobos Battle Tank- Base Turret:
This is the base turret, but you can also buy the base turret with a weapon option, then grab the other upgrades to add and magnetize everything!
The Phobos Battle Tank is designed to represent a Deimos Pattern Predator with some notable exceptions. Unlike a standard resin kit, this product incorporated spaces to insert magnets to allow you easily change your weapon options. This turret uses 2 (8mm x 2mm) and 6 (1mm x 3mm) magnets, which is comparable with all our other Phobos turret weapon options.
This kit is compatible with the turret plate of a standard Rhino model, so you can quickly transform your troop carrier into a Phobos Battle Tank and back again without the need for glue. With this and our other Vehicle weapons and parts, you can make each of your models more versatile.
As we said, you can also get weapons already attached or just the actual weapons.
Phobos Heavy Lance Turret: $30.99
These are the perfect way to upgrade your tanks, and they come in a ton of styles, and this is a cheap way to turn a Rhino into a Predator.
Phobos Battle Tank Conversion- Weapon 3 Pack: $34.99
This kit does NOT come with the Base Turret but are additional weapon options for our Phobos Battle Tank Turret sets. These weapons attach to our Phobos turret with magnets to allow you to easily change your weapon options with two 8mm x 2mm to fix the main weapon (one in the weapon and 1 in the turret) and 6 3mm x 3mm magnets for the weapon details of the back part of the turret (3 in the turret and 3 in the weapon detail).
