Here’s one last goliath to add to the Irondogs gang for now. I actually have several more assembled and waiting for paint but I’m keen to crack on with other gangs and projects for a while. Equally I didn’t want to leave Sylus here half-painted and gathering dust when he could be raising merry havoc in the Underhive.
The eagle-eyed will have spotted that I’ve used the bolter from the upgrade sets, after talking myself into buying Weapon Set 2, and this, combined with the glorious new heads from Forge World, undoubtedly means another wave of recruits for House Goliath will be stamping across my painting desk sooner or later.

He looks butch enough. Great work as always.
January 21st, 2019 at 7:14 am
Yeah, he’s got the look of a solid lad. Mind you he’d have to be, lugging that bolter around all day!
January 21st, 2019 at 7:39 am
I bet he works out a lot too.

Nicely done mate – another worthy addition!

Thanks mate š

I thought that might actually be a Heavy Bolter at first look. Certainly a very imposing peashooter there.
I need GW to ease up on the awesome releases for a bit so I can afford to grab some stuff from FW š

I actually thought that as well at first, it looks so big and heavy in his hands (which is how a bolter should look I feel, when it’s being wielded by anyone other than a space marine at least).
As for all the awesome releases; tell me about it, I’m a fan of Night Goblins and Genestealer Cults, and now they’re hinting that my Chaos Marines are just around the corner too. Give it a rest lads – I’m struggling to keep up! Release some Tau or more Stormcast or something, have pity on this poor hobbyist!

He looks great.
Good choiceon the Bolter- it is a powerful weapon… well it was when I ran into one last time.
Cheers,
Pete.

Cheers Pete – yeah, I’ve not seen how it performs in game yet but I just took a look at the stats and it sounds like it should be fairly nasty. Plus it just looks so imposing, I’d definitely be worrying about it if I was leading the opposing gang.

Anothe great looking Goliath – this one looking every bit the grunt ganger. I thought you’d used a 40k bolter there for a sec – not too familiar with the FW upgrades for them yet!
January 25th, 2019 at 6:53 am
Yeah, I must say I’ve seen some cracking conversions using the 40k bolters on Goliath bodies but I went for the easy option (lured by some of the other nice bits in that set).
January 24th, 2019 at 6:18 pm
Nice one, man. Haven’t looked up the stats for the gun, but it looks pretty damned cool.
January 25th, 2019 at 6:57 am
I always struggle to work out how good something is in game until I’ve tried it out on the tabletop, just looking at the stats isn’t enough for me, but by eye it looks suitably nasty (it’s a case of bringing a space marine weapon to a gang fight so it ought to be really!). Plus, as you say, it just looks so imposing and he was a lot of fun to paint, so I’m happy š

Cool man and the upgrade bolter definitely gives him a little more bad arse-ed-ness!
January 27th, 2019 at 2:21 pm
It gives him a real “action-movie” vibe doesn’t it? You just can’t help but feel he’s about to lay waste to a lot of baddies!
January 28th, 2019 at 2:03 am
Yeah and then flip someone into a glass coffee table!
