THE SHORT VERSION

Mikael Silvanto completes his trilogy of Inquisitorial retinues with the gold-lit followers of Lord Pelagius. Bespoke machines emphasise the Inquisitor’s isolation, while Orthodox icon painting and Paul Dainton’s rulebook cover inspire a metallic foundation and directional light; earlier grey and gore-red warbands reveal how the project evolved.

Goliath Truck

The Goliath is described as an ordinary Imperial industrial vehicle pressed into cult service. The kit can build a troop-carrying truck or a lower, heavier Rockgrinder, whose drilldozer and repurposed mining weapons make a civilian workhorse dangerous to infantry and armoured opponents.
