The Juggernaut (a Genestealer Cults Galyat Truck proxy)

I run Gaslands as part of an RPG I put together called ‘The Gas Hack’ and one of the missions my group have been tasked to do is to take down a borderlands preacher who has managed to get himself a disused factory, an abandoned mine, and a militia! He’s currently stirring up trouble by preaching anti-Mars sermons to those who support him whilst ‘reprimanding’ those who don’t. Those reprimands take the form of armed raids using his militia (the ‘Sword of the Lord’) and a massive piece of earth-moving equipment, called “The Juggernaut”.

After a lot of time spent searching for a suitable die-cast model that I could use (that didn’t cost an arm and a leg), I gave up and turned to Thingiverse. That’s where I found this beauty – a Genestealer Cults Galyat Truck UPDATED by Gynovin) (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2736962)

It’s scaled to 28mm (1:56) but since I wanted it to be ma-hoo-sive™, I elected to leave it full size.

It was printed on the Creality CR-10 in PLA at 0.2mm layer height with infills of 10-20% for most and 100% for the guns and railings.

Here's the other side.

More pictures. It needs a spot of kit-bashing and painting, but for now, check out this bad boy. The Breaking Bad figures and Hot Wheels truck are there to show off its size!

Thanks to Loupis, the truck finally has a paint scheme.

Nicely understated and functional. I really like the way it has come out.
