More progress with the Goliath Truck

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.

It certainly is an interesting kit to put together and there are quite a few parts.

Goliath Truck

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.

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.

Genestealer Cults Goliath Rockgrinder

Built to withstand the pressures and challenges of underground mining, the Goliath Rockgrinder is a devastating piece of equipment when turned to aggression. Surging forward into the massed ranks of the enemy, servo-mounted weaponry seeking and destroying priority targets, the Rockgrinder drives ever-forward, its sawtoothed drilldozer ripping apart anything foolish enough to stand in its path. The fourth-generation cultist standing atop the vehicle efficiently uses its industrial equipment as a weapon of war – heavy mining lasers, seismic cannons and clearance incinerators, though designed for mining and gathering resources, are perfectly suited to annihilation.
