{"product_id":"windwarden-battle-tank-32mm-resin-miniature","title":"Windwarden Battle Tank - 32mm Resin Miniature","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Windwarden Battle Tank is a single heavy armoured vehicle cast in resin, built to anchor a battle line and draw every eye on the table. Squat, brutal and bristling with weaponry, this is a war machine that communicates its purpose without a word: roll forward, absorb punishment, and reduce whatever stands ahead to rubble. The hull is stacked with riveted armour plating, external stowage boxes, and a ring of mechanical detail that rewards close inspection from every angle. A raised central turret carries a heavy-bore cannon alongside secondary weapon mounts, while sponson-mounted guns and smaller hull weapons ensure nothing gets a free pass at short range. The distinctive oversized track assemblies flank a recessed drive wheel, giving the whole silhouette a low-slung, unstoppable quality that looks right at home in any grimdark sci-fi warzone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSculpted by Atlan Forge, this piece carries all the hallmarks of their vehicle range: dense surface geometry, deliberate asymmetry in the weapon loadout, and a sense of lived-in military hardware rather than parade-ground shine. The turret comes as a separate component, allowing a degree of positioning before you commit to the glue. The model arrives as an unpainted, unassembled resin miniature with supports already removed, cleaned and ready for a quick wash before you begin building.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Windwarden Battle Tank ships as one vehicle. Supplied unpainted and unassembled.

Take your time on the track assemblies and the sponson details, as those areas carry a lot of the model's visual weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.
