Title: Since Pendraken doesn't make one ....
Post by: Ithoriel on 08 December 2013, 07:53:00 PM
.. I had to use the "Axis and Allies" Goliath and match it with a Pendraken crew and "mothership."

It's a bit big but not outrageously so.

It'll do until Pendraken produce the real thing :)

Oh you tease! Care to elaborate?

You are about to

a) produce a Goliath master

b) assassinate fsn

c) both of the above

d) none of the above

e) do something that if you told us about you'd have to kill us

F) all of the above and create a time space paradox

Tish! I have through raw experience learned patience and shall await the fruits of Pendraken which will be delivered at the Dark Lords whim. For surely he has wisdom which we (the motorcycles in the Pendraken Ratte) are incapable of understanding.

You could sling the Goliaths from davits on the Rattes, like lifeboats.  ;)

The Ratte had accommodation for two motorcycles, for scouting, and for a couple of dozen infantry for close protection - I'm sure you could sling a few Goliaths in the space instead. Heck, you could probably store at least one in the on-board toilet cubicle :)

Not sure handing 200lb of high explosive in a thinly armoured box around your hull is a terribly good idea. I'm sure the chaps on the AA guns might object.  :-\

I'm doing the Goliath right now.
Electric or Diesel ?
Diesel has this little thing on the top.
Title: Re: Since Pendraken doesn't make one ....
Post by: Ithoriel on 11 December 2013, 03:28:39 PM
Personally I'd prefer the Sdkfz 303 diesel to the Sdkfz 302 electric but I'm really not that fussy.

Looking forward to being able to buy some that are the right scale!

Hrrrm perhaps the Goliath is just a Ratte dropping?

Nice find and nice bit of work there.

Brilliant, just brilliant!

<happy dance>

"Me wanna, me wanna, me wanna .....!!"

<takes deep breath, sits on hands and tries to be patient>

OK, OK I know it's going to be a while before it works it's way through the Pendraken production sausage machine. Leon, any idea when this lovely little model might be available?

A while, I'm afraid.
Plastic in there, meaning low temp mould, meaning more time.

Realised it would take a while.

Basically, I'm wondering if this should go on my Xmas '14 wish list or, if my children do as they once threatened and bury me with my armies arrayed around me like the Qin emperor, if they would have to wait and join "The Eternal Army" :)

I have also used the Axis and Allies one but the 10mm sculpt looks great and woudl certainly get it - hopefully with controllers (the figures for Axis and Allies certainly aren't usable :D). Would also like the Borgward IV if that ever comes out  8)
