Summon Golgotha With TTCombat’s New Carnevale Priests
July 22, 2021 by brennon
TTCombat has put together a couple of previews for those wanting to add new priests into your games of Carnevale. Both the Vatican and the Rashaar are getting some new units with the Vatican taking the lead alongside a towering monster.
Golgotha & Summoner Priest // Carnevale
Both of the units within this set are heroes with the Golgotha being the companion to the Summoner Priest. This is because the Summoner Priest comes with the ability to make the Golgotha go berserk, stomping into the madness to club your foes to death.
The miniatures for both are great and I like that we're seeing a little bit more of the twisted side to the Vatican in Carnevale. It's not all shining armour, fire and gleaming swords. I reckon the Golgotha itself would be really fun to paint.
Rashaar Priests
As well as the Priest for the Vatican, we also have two Dagonite Priests for those playing as the Rashaar.
Dagonite Priests // Carnevale
Again, these are heroes that can be dropped into your gangs, offering boosts and boons to those around them. These Dagonite Priests are able to sap the life from their opponents in combat and replenish their will in order to do more feats of chaotic devastation.
I'd say these miniatures hit the nail on the head too. Plenty of detail and a sculpt that invites you to play around with different techniques.
Both of these sets are going to be available later this week so watch this space!

Really like the Golgotha.
That Golgotha is definitely something different for a change.. nice

Technically impressive figures, but why on earth did they call it a Golgotha? That means “Place of the Skull” in Hebrew, but they’ve stuck a lion’s head on it. Can’t help feeling that they wanted to make a biblical reference but somehow managed to balls it up.
it’s them magic whatsits that are screwing with their heads.
even the priests have gone peculiar 😉
Golgotha also refers to Calvary, the place that Jesus was supposedly crucified. I guess they named it that because Golems in the setting have a strong connection to the place they are raised up, and Christianity has a strong connect to Jesus. This explains the lion head; Venice has a lion statue that symbolizes the city and became a patron saint of it. Also, the Vatican in this setting are the literal Vatican, so biblical references are abound. It is just that when a giant rent in the sky appears over Venice and pours otherworldly magics down it tends to… Read more »
The Gollum looks great and intimidating. The priests are fabulous detailed looking figures.
Strong “are we the bad guys” vibe from the Vatican there
