In the market for four (4) Necromunda House Goliath autocannon bits.

Used up my usual obscure bits places, any ideas? I would buy bits or blisters, but this obscure bit never seems to pop up.

The ones from the base set?

Here's my question: do you need the hands attached?

If the answer is no, I could probably 3d you up something similar, albeit a bit more detailed, and you could have it printed off.

I wouldn't need the hands attached.

I'm building a Tyrant Legion army. While I have used some GW stuff as part of the army, I have built much of the list 5k+ out of other models. I've used models from Ramshackle Games, Secret Weapon, Wargames Factory and some other knock offs from here and there. I figured since it was a forgeworld list, I had some freedom to build it. The army is essentially done, but there is one unit I still have been thinking about.

One of the units I want to include is a havok/devastator squad with autocannons. I like the necromunda bit the best of any of the GW autocannon bits, which is why I was hoping to find some. I've been looking for like six months.

I don't know much about the process you describe...what is the procedure/cost etc? I am very interested.

If you cut the bayonet off, the Reaper Autocannon's a good match for the Necromunda one. You'd have to convert a bit to stick regular marine heavy weapon arms on, but shouldn't be that hard.

Thanks for the suggestion.


I tried a couple with that bit, just never liked how they came out.

Ebay can be worth a check for obscure things like Necromunda bitz... though the offerings vary week-to-week and, well, the pricing is hit-or-miss.

Personally, I managed to get my hand on two Orlock heavy stubbers for four or five dollars each last year.

I really liked the Bitz Barn at first, but as of late I'm getting more and more reluctant to order from them. They have a bad habit of suddenly being out of stuff after your order is placed, and I haven't been overly impressed with their customer service. Everything seems to get resolved to their convenience first.

A real shame. They've got a much better range of parts than, say, Battlewagon Bitz at the Warstore. :(
