Rogue Trader Hover Truck

This is a Goliath with some Tau parts. I am building a little Rogue Trader war band, that is sponsored by the Tau empire. To keep cover on Imperial worlds I needed a truck for my human crew that would be inconspicuous, but when on the frontier could keep up with Tau vehicles. So a Goliath was gutted to fill the need. Given the rarity of Imperial anti gravity technology, Tau technology was salvaged and replaced the power plant and drive train. The crew compartment was expanded to give room for a comfier interior for the Rogue Trader.

Rogue Trader

 Rogue Trader James Grammaticus, with his heirloom plasma pistol, and a Necron hyperphase sword.
In the front row, starting from the left, I have english mastiffs and the Friar's chickens. Second row, are my two Gue'vesa tech priests with a fire blade rifle and a pulse carbine. An Eldar ranger hired by the T'au to act as a guide, Rogue Trader Grammaticus, the old Friar with a a barrel of booze, earth caste engineer, and a few members of the expedition research team. In the very back is the hover truck, it is a Goliath with a hover drive train and expanded crew section.
