'''Ossuary Pattern Dreadnought'''- Unique Leviathan variant dreadnought. Gives Golgothos the walker unit type. Also keeps him from joining all units save for Dreadnought talons.

'''Vindicator Magnus'''- A cannon specially crafted by the Techmarines of his legion when he found the weapons of his armor lacking. It fires with the same profile as a demolisher cannon, but Assault 2, range 36. 

'''The Black Hand'''- A Dreadnought power fist with an underslung Heavy Flamer that also grants the following special rules to attacks made in melee: Armorbane, Instant Death, and Wrecker. Also adds the Furious Smite special rule, which allows Golgothos to exchange half his attacks (rounded down) to make one of his remaining attacks Strength D.

'''Reliquary Shell'''- Golgothos has the adamantium-plated skulls of fallen legion veterans displayed on his armor's carapace. This grants him the following rules: Flare Shielding, Armored Ceramite, and Gaze of the Fallen (counts as having assault grenades). Additionally, no attack may ever cause a penetrating hit on Golgothos on any roll other than a natural 6 (does not affect strength D attacks).

'''Bitter Rage'''- Golgothos's sarcophagus does nothing to ease his great pain. Roll a D6 at the beginning of every turn. On a roll of a 2 or 3, Golgothos gains Rage until the next turn. On a 4 or 5 he gains Hatred (everything) until the next turn. On a 6, he gains both rules, and on a 1, his pain becomes too much for him, and he loses 1 WS, I, and A until the next turn.

'''Carry On'''- Golgothos embodies the bitter determination of mankind. As long as Golgothos is on the field, all friendly units on the field ignore casualities from shooting. If Golgothos dies, they lose these benefits but gain Zealot, and units with '''Legiones Astartes: The Entombed''' gain Relentless and Rage. 

'''The Processos'''- Golgothos's elite dreadnought bodyguards and subcommanders. For +40 points a model, one dreadnought talon receives the following: +1 front armor, +1 attack, Chosen warrior, fleet.

Golgothos is a giant goddamn battering ram you send screaming up the field with a bunch of dreadnoughts, watch half of them die to enemy fire, then watch the remainders murderously kill your opponent's army to death! Really though, Golgothos does basically the same thing a dreadnought does, but on steroids. He'll eat pretty much any other primarch in a fight, because most of them have a really hard time actually hurting him, what with his AV 14, IWND, and 8(!) hull points. He'll murder pretty much anything you put in front of him, up to and including a freaking bloodthirster or another primarch. His army wide morale buff is also useful in pretty much all conditions, and it'll always be fun to see the look on your opponent's face when he ''finally'' kills your towering death machine of bitter rage, and suddenly your entire freaking army goes berzerk, and starts charging up the field, firing heavy weapons as they go, to kick his fucking teeth in. That said, like any primarch, he has his weaknesses. He's not especially fast, and he won't fit in most transports, so he's slow, and you have 650 points wrapped up in a package that's one D-strength hit away from dust. On top of this, he's also not very point efficient in terms of straight offense or defense. By comparison, a squad of Leman Russ tanks will have more hull points and put more fire downrange, for less points, though they'll also lose combat effectiveness as they're damaged, and your army won't lose their god damn minds and flip out if the tanks die. Is he worth it? You decide.
