At GamesDay 2005 Forge World showed off their fantastic Anphelion Base diorama that used their then new buildings.
I managed to get a copies of issues #69 and #70 of Combat Patrol which came with the sprues for a Goliath Rockgrinder. Good value at £19.98 compared to the list price for the Goliath Rockgrinder which is £42.50.
I decided I would build this as a Goliath Truck rather than the Rockgrinder.
I was continuing the build from previously.
I was adding the railings to the vehicle and the one of the main weapons.

Though a Genestealer Cults vehicle I am guessing that it can be used by the Imperial Guard or other forces, as it is for intents and purposes an Imperial mining vehicle which has been commandeered by the cultists.
There are two sprues for this model. I have made further progress on the model.
The instructions that came with Combat Patrol are for the Rockgrinder, so I had to go online and find the instructions for the Goliath. The main differences are the front grinder, which I won’t be attaching, and the rear compartment, which is open on the Goliath truck.
Whilst the Cobra is a potent weapon in its own right, its primary role is as a war engine hunter. Its distort cannon is capable of destroying a super heavy tank or small Imperial Titan with a single shot.
The Cobra is another of the Eldar’s Engines of Vaul, much like the Scorpion, but re-armed with a massive D-cannon. This is a weapon capable of tearing a hole through time and space, and allowing the Immaterium to flood into the material plane with terrible destructive force.

It certainly is an interesting kit to put together and there are quite a few parts.
At GamesDay 2009 were many demonstration games on show. In this one a fortified Imperial City comes undert attack from the forces of Chaos.
When the Dark Angels were released I really liked the Master of the Ravenwing on the “last” remaining Imperial Jetbike, so much so I knew I had to get one for my Grey Knights army, possibly maybe more than one!
Having unearthed the jet bike from storage I got around to finishing the construction of the model.
I then gave the model a white undercoat. Of course when I photographed the model I noticed that the sword was bent…
That part of the hand and sword is glued to the model (and had already fallen off once when sticking it to the arm). So, with care I bent the sword back, so it was straight.
Now to paint it.
Still thinking I will go down the Grey Knights plan.

I did have a few issues, but that was more down to the superglue I was using, which took a while to set. It was quite a fiddly model and I am hoping that it will stay together as it is painted.
The next stage will be a white undercoat.

Infinitely adaptable, hard-wearing and rugged, the Goliath Truck is a mainstay of the Genestealer Cults. Fast and manoeuvrable, it bounces around the battlefield laying down walls of gunfire, heavy stubbers and autocannons ablaze. Once dedicated to the shadows, the crew manning the Goliath – proudly emblazoned with insignia of the Cult – now do everything in their power to get as close to the enemy, screaming rapidly across even the most hostile terrain to slam open their cargo compartment and disgorge broods of up to 10 scuttling Hybrids.
Though a Genestealer Cults vehicle I am guessing that it can be used by the Imperial Guard or other forces, as it is for intents and purposes an Imperial mining vehicle which has been commandeered by the cultists.
I am thinking of either painting it as an Imperial mining vehicle, in yellow; or I am thinking it might be a commandeered vehicle for use as a Chimera stand-in for some Tallarn Imperial Guard.
Next month you will be able to order some classic Ammo Runts.
Wotz a Kaptin without any grotz to boss about? These classic Ammo Runts will ensure that your krew always has a stash of bullets – use them to add some piratical character to a Gretchin squad, or to support Nobz or Flash Gitz.
We first saw these at Games Day 2008 in the display cabinets. I do like these models, I did think I had some of them already, but looking over my collection I realise that they are not.
They are nice and I might get some, wonder if they will be metal or resin.
