When our Goliath Gang gets built up at the gym, or in this case, on the dining room table, they are down for max gains! As from a previous post, we know there has been a vague interaction with the Escher gang. We don’t know the exact details, but we suspect it was something like a stimm overdose.
I’m going to start with the juve of the gang, or in the case of the Goliaths, the bully. I armed him with an axe and a spud-jacker – whatever one of those it! I’ll clarify at this point I am building directly from the box with the upgrade sprue to hand.
Our Goliath bruiser is next up, this time armed visibly with a bolter and some grenades! I am very wary of spamming the same weapon too much, both in game & for painting reasons!
The next miniature is the first of two Goliath bruisers with shotguns. Goliaths want to be in close combat, and what’s scarier than a giant on steroids running at you with a shotgun?!
The second bruiser I designated to be the “running” man, thankfully the kit has some with dynamic poses. I would say there is a bit of a concern with this kit looking a bit TOO static. As a result, these running Goliath gang members are a couple of my favourites!
Finally, I built the Goliath bruiser specialist with a grenade launcher and a cigar – it might look cool, but don’t smoke!! I’ve also given him a big combat knife in case someone rushes him so that he has some protection! However, access to my bits-box is restricted heavily due to it being in storage! I am planning on making some specific conversion-only posts in the future though!
Wrap up & thoughts
We’ve assembled our first five Goliath gang members!! I may add some extra details on the bases before priming, but I think we have a good base for our bruisers and bully. We only have one bully currently, I certainly thought of making one with an axe and stub pistol or similar, maybe in the future? Three shotguns seemed a bit dull to me, so that is why we have one bolter. I definitely want to model one with a stub gun, in the future, as it looks cool!
For the next part of our gang building, I’ll build a melee forge tyrant and two Goliath gang forge bosses. I plan on doing a heavy bolter wielding Forge Tyrant, but I don’t have the parts yet! I will look forward to seeing you in the next blog post, which will be soon!
