About GoliathHouse Goliath is located in the
most polluted areas of the hive. The living and working condition of House
Goliath members have made them especially strong in order to survive their
harsh environment - there is no weak Goliath, for they die quickly. Taking
pride in their stature, they look down on other Houses, degenerate and
weak to their eyes. CommentsAt first, I was not interested
in Goliath at all, but I aknowledged later they add an interesting
diversity to the game - no other gang has the same raw strength and they
can get very characterful skills. Despite their apparent simplicity,
playing a Goliath gang is quite difficult. Their predictable tactic -
assault! - isn't backed up by any special ability, like all the Escher
movement skills or the Delaque stealth skills. Hence reaching opponent
requires consideration, especially since you are likely to be outnumbered
because of all the casualties suffered on your way there. The gang
roster is quite basic - 1 leader, 2 heavies, 6 gangers and 3 juves. Since
I didn't want to spend too much, all gangers come from the plastic models
of Necromunda boxed set. Unfortunately, their quality could not compare to
Orlocks' plastics. Plastic Goliath gangers have two poses but both are
very similar, so it's not helping out when trying to get diversity.
Goliath plastic arms used for weapon swap are not very versatile either,
since they all hold their weapon the same way. I have a good number of
Goliath Gangers remaining but I saw no point in having more than 6 of
them, considering how difficult it was to have them look different. I want
to push up their numbers, I'll throw in a couple metal Goliath
models.
With a simple head swap, the remaining plastics could easily
become orks. The pictures
