House Goliath Ganger

November 2017·pp. 116–117

THE SHORT VERSION

Jay Goldfinch’s Goliath scheme pairs dark warm skin with worn red furnace plates, black workwear and several kinds of metal. Fine final flesh highlights keep the brown foundation dominant, while the guide distinguishes leather from enamel and adds bright green hair and a small illuminated cuff; controlled washes and painted chips give the armour weight without obscuring it.

The Battle for Survival: Necromunda Underhive

The boxed game is introduced through its Goliath and Escher fighters, double-sided tunnel tiles and interactive battlefield accessories. Fighter cards, unusual dice and gang tactics support individual characters, while Gang War extends the same core game onto larger scenery layouts and adds the progression, trading and injuries needed for an ongoing campaign.

Starting a Gang War

Andy Hoare and James Hewitt explain the return of Necromunda through scenery, alternating fighter activations and expanded gang identities. The interview traces how cards and interactive terrain help maintain a clear battlefield, why Goliath and Escher make an effective contrast, and how the tunnel game connects to campaign play on three-dimensional tables.

Sculpting the Warriors of House Goliath

Dave Thomas and Mark Bedford connect the new Goliaths’ shapes to their lives in the foundries. Heavy lifting braces, protective workwear, respirators and industrial weapons turn apparently extravagant decoration into functional equipment, while integrated stimms and imposing physical proportions preserve the older gang’s blunt, threatening character.
