==Goliath Rockgrinder== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:800px"> ''And you thought that a bunch of their normal trucks was bad enough for those Chaos loonies...'' - Anonymous Guardsman <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> If the Goliath Truck is the equivalent of a Rhino, then the Goliath Rockgrinder is equivalent to a Razorback. With the ever growing demands of the Warlords and Thanes to fill up the weak-points in their own formations, especially when it comes to mobile firing platforms, resulted in the creation of this more heavily armed transport. The Squats, ever the masters of the more pragmatic approach, took the tried and tested Goliath Truck and somehow managed to make it even more useful as a support vehicle with the option to transport their warriors (albeit in more limited numbers). The Rockgrinder is essentially the more assault-oriented version of the standard Goliath. Armed with a heavier weapon, in this case mounting the venerable Rapier Laser Destroyer from its Armoured Carrier chassis, as well as a Drilldozer Blade for quick removal of anything in its way. Though the introduction of a heavier weapon that, as mentioned before, resulted in the truck to have a smaller transport capacity, the Rockgrinder makes it up with heavier firepower to better support the Squats. In addition to these modifications, as well as having the options to swap the Rapier for a Clearance Fusion Projector or Heavy Seismic Cannon, the Rockgrinder is one of the few examples of military hardware to be later used for civilian purposes. Considering that the Goliath Truck, on which the Rockgrinder was based, used to be originally a civilian-only vehicle, one could say that it all came full-circle in this regard. </div> </div> '''Points Cost''' - 75 {| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="left" ! !

On a roll of 4 or more, the vehicle ignores that result, but still loses a Hull Point as normal. <br>'''Wargear:''' *Rapier Laser Destroyer *Drilldozer Blade: A vehicle with a drilldozer blade automatically passes Dangerous Terrain tests. When a vehicle with a drilldozer blade Rams an enemy vehicle, add an extra D6 to the Strength of the hit. If the Ram causes a penetrating hit, add 1 to the result on the vehicle damage table. When a vehicle with a drilldozer blade performs a Tank Shock, each enemy unit that the vehicle reaches must take an Initiative test before taking a Morale check. If the Initiative test is passed the unit avoids the whirring cutters, but if it is failed the unit immediately suffers D3 Strength 10 AP2 hits. If an enemy unit makes a Death or Glory attack on a vehicle with a drilldozer and fails to stop the vehicle, the unit suffers an additional D3 Strength 10 AP2 hits in addition to the damage they normally suffer for the failed attack. Hits from a drilldozer blade are Randomly Allocated. '''Transport Capacity:''' 6 models <br>'''Fire Points:''' Up to six models can fire from its rear platform. <br>'''Access Points:''' The vehicle’s rear platform is one large Access Point. <br>'''Options:''' *May include up to two additional Goliath Rockgrinders (75pts each) *Any Goliath Rockgrinder may be equipped with a Cache of Demolition Charges (20pts) *Any Goliath Rockgrinder may replace its Rapier Laser Destroyer with a: **Clearance Fusion Projector (free) **Heavy Seismic Cannon (5pts) *Any Goliath Rockgrinder may take items from the Vehicle Armoury list.
