Early on in the Heroes of Armageddon project I knew that I wanted to have a couple of surprises that I could "pull out of my hat" towards the end of the donation period. A little something that would show everyone that we were serious about creating unique armies. One of the surprises I concocted for the Steel Legion army was the mighty Golgotha Superheavy Missile-Platform.
Following a discussion with Matt Bonders from Miniature Wargame Conversions, I knew I had someone who could create my vision in miniature form. Matt pulled together the necessary funds and bought the Baneblade and Reaver Missile Launcher required to put this bad boy together. Although there were a few hiccups along the way, Matt sent the finished tank off to Brandon Palmer of GMM Studios, who put the great paintjob on the tank as only he can do, swiftly, but with a lot of gorgeous detailing.
A big THANK YOU to both these guys for their contributions!
In my mind, a massive artillery piece like this would certainly need an observation post, a spotter of some kind. In stepped Jeremy Webb, who bought this Elysian Tauros Venator for the job. Jeremy shipped it off to Jeff Wilhelm (of Dragon Forge fame) who started on the assembly and paint job. As the deadline drew closer and Jeff's real life workload grew, he passed it back to me to wrap things up. In a collaborative project like HOA, it is vitally important that communication is regular and that expectations are met. In this case Jeff kept me appraised of his situation and we worked out a plan B before things got too late. Success!
Another big THANK YOU to both Jeremy and Jeff!
And finally, nothing this big would be complete without an Apocalypse datasheet from the master of Apoc datasheets, Larry Vela! (or Bigred from Bell of Lost Souls). I laid out my thoughts on the possible rules, then Larry went to town creating a very cool set of rules. You can download the datasheet from HERE.
THANK YOU Larry, for all your work on this too.
So, there you have it. A great part of the HOA project, and a cool datasheet to go with it. You now have all you need to make your own right? I know I'll be adding one to my Blood Pact army ; )
Cheers
Dave
Im super stoked it was such a hit! Im ready to help ANYTIME with ANY future charity project. This was a great learning curve and a wonderful thing to do for a wonderful cause!
ReplyDeletePretty. Also a nice shout-out to the old Epic Ordinatus Golgotha!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful model, and the spotter is a great touch. Makes sense big names would get used again and again for different things, and how could the Squats of Golgotha not admire the handiwork?
ReplyDeleteDave, nice finishing touch making up the data sheet. What a cool way to add to the prjoect.
ReplyDeleteSomeday i get this vehicle my Cadiankaroliner army. Nice car and nice painting!

ReplyDeleteAnd, it is a good touch having surprises up your sleeves during the donation period, as evidenced by Golgotha, which demonstrates the uniqueness and creativity of the armies created. The whole journey from conception to creation is so amazing, I just loved the synergy between you and GMM’s matt Bonders and Brandon Palmer. The problems experienced in between make the process look more genuine. By the way have you ever thought of using commercial tow truck? Just an idea for some strange turns on battlefield. I commend you for that wonderful piece of work and eagerly awaiting updates regarding Heroes Of Armageddon project!"
