I've got a ton of plastic Golaith guys in my garage. They are all the same sprue that was free on a cover of white dwarf when necromunda came out the first time.
My dad worked at a newspaper distrbuters, and they binned returns bar the front cover. So every time GW gave a free model Ugleb and I got a tonne of them. They were 90% Goliath as the other was the more popular Orlock.

I often wonder if they have any value.

I've actually always wanted to do up some Solar Aux in a Stormtrooper-like color scheme (probably more ivory than straight white though?). I think the visual reference would be clear enough while still working with the model and it would provide sort of a grimdark take on the noblebright Star Wars setting.

:shrug:

It was the red and white shoes that really clued me in.
I'm sure someone has done an Star Wars Imperial themed Guard army, it would work given how striking most of the color use is.

Genghis Cohen posted:

Oh, I'm completely on board with using colours from other sources. I just mean weird conversions where things end up half one and half the other - I've seen marines with SW helmets, weird modifications to the shape of the legs, and red-painted tubes as lightsabers in place of power swords. Never works imo. (I'd get pics, but I'm at work)

In this case the Nazi imagery is to distract you from the fact that they're obvious Star Wars storm trooper heads on Fallout power armor bodies.

Take the Wolfenstein Terminator Hitler earlier in the thread, pair him up with a pair of these guys, kitbash something together from the Cadians maybe and have a kickass Wolfenstein diorama?

Or question why the hell I had a hard time finding US Paratrooper or Desert Rats (Shorts please) when I still actively played. I should see if I have some of my scrunts/paintjobs at the time around still on that note.

I've got a small scar from painting/assembling Typhus for a friend and trying to catch the little bastard after knocking it off the table. Think it was his head landed just right or something.

SRM would follow you into a sketchy looking building if you told him that you had second edition space marines there. Then he'd regain consciousness and realize that his kidneys are missing.
