Honestly house Goliath is basically the thunder warriors 1. Larger than unarmored space marines 2. Last a short period 3. Aggressive to the point of recklessness

[@Historyfrek4ever]

Could be that a certain someone slipped the net and ended up making a nest on Necromunda. Though I think the Goliaths are strong due to sheer size and muscle mass, while thunder warriors would be pound for pound stronger, faster etc.

[@jamesfreeman3617]

They sound similar but there are a bunch of key details also they are they one house we know exactly how they came about

[@thegametroll6264]

They are my favorite house on necromunda.

[@TheOuroboros84]

I think they are partly thunder warriors, probably the code for their creation that reached necromunda was fragmentary and they had to make up for it, but im all in for this theory.

[@jamesfreeman3617]

@@TheOuroboros84 well no Goliath were made from scratch and actually would have surpassed thunder warriors if the two houses that made them didn't both sabotage the project because they thought the Goliaths could be used to fix both van Sar and house Esther's problems.

As someone who hasn't played Necromunda since the 90's. This was amazing to watch. I had no idea just how fleshed out the setting had become.

The Necromunda Game is obviously set in Necromunda, but imagine that the Imperium has over than 32,000 hive worlds with between 5-20 hives each, imagine how many gangs there are in Imperial territory.

[@YOGI-kb9tg]

Yep. Necromunda has the biggest production of all hive world's but the idea of how many hive world's have gangs it is crazy. I find it funny that there are gene stealer cults but they cants get a true hold because the gangers kill them they even nuked them once lol.

The developers of EYE Divine Cybermancy were the ones who made the Necromunda Hired Gun video game. While it's far more grounded than its predecessor, Hired Gun is still really fun, and not too expensive. Consider picking it up if you're at all interested in the setting. The boltgun is particularly satisfying to use, which I believe to be the mark of a good 40k game.

[@SilverTheHedgehog22]

I have actually been hoping you’d cover Necromunda content in your videos for quite some time, I absolutely love this universe. So please by all means, make more content on it 😊

[@hobomeatballthemovies323]

I remember a Necromunda promotional art back in the day. It was just a destroyed alleyway full of rusted garbage. That is Necromunda. I would love more Necromunda content.

Wes, this video was absolutely PHENOMENAL! I have been trying to find a much more in depth video on Necromunda and its gangs for a while, and when I saw this in my feed, it made my day in an instant.

Thank you for all your hard work, and hope all is well!!

Thanks, I appreciate it and I'm glad it made your day! I received a lot of very nice And encouraging comments for more necromunda content. So at the bare minimum, I think I'm going to make a follow-up In the same style as this one covering all of the other gangs.

It's a great setting because just about anything can be added by went a bit deeper into the Underhive or Ash Wastes instead of needing a complex explanation. Things that aren't a threat to an army can get serious when it's only a handful of gang members to face it.

[@CharlesInserra]

I knew about Necromunda before 40k but was always too busy to play or explore the lore. Granted I’m an 80’s child and my friend had Space Hulk and played Necromunda which I had no clue were the same universe. Love the lore vids. Keep them coming.

Yo Wes, I just wanted to express my thanks and say my heart goes out to you dude. After hearing your hobby story closed I went to check on my old stomping grounds, Little Wars. Hadn't been in 12 years. Freaked out a little when I drove up to something different. So I googled them and it turns out the moved across the parking lot, To An Even Better Bigger Building. Now it's a propah store and they still have the tables in the back, and painting classes on Wednesdays. So thanks Wes, if not for you I wouldn't have gone over there to see. And what a relief and joy it was to see the hobby store I uses to go to still kicking and in even better shape. Hang in there man, I know this sucks and is not easy. But we're rooting with you to pull through. Hope the next "lab" has a showcase table so you can show us your minis!

[@zeliardforty-two4692]

When I first came across Necromunda was when my friend pulled out his rule book and terrain. We had to use our own models at the time and all we had to go by was the book. I ended up loving the Van Saar for their weapon selection. Something about having that one heavy with a plasma cannon that can fire across the field really clicked with me. I often developed a strategy of keeping my distance well luring my targets out in the open. This is how we learned just how important cover can be! Certainly glad they put out expanded rules and lore for this game as I absolutely love it! When all we originally had were the simple description back in the day it’s nice to have more! It’s a shame it isn’t as loved because it’s a bit easier to get into a game as you need far less models Would love to hear more about the gangs of the underhive! This game need more love
