This video was SO helpful! Easily the best beginner Necromunda content I’ve come across. You’re info on not just the starting rosters but also modeling advice and what to look forward to with purchase upgrades was HUGELY influential and informative for my Goliath gang build. I’m very new to necromunda, and I was having a hard time because I knew my guys were going to get upgrades, and I wanted my models to be pretty close to accurate when they did. After watching your video, I added chain axes to my models with the idea that they were busted at the start and needed fixing (so they just count as cleavers or axes to start). Then, when I had a few games and upgraded them, it would still work well narratively and I didn’t have to do mid-game snipping and converting. Your video game me the direction and peace of mind to do this. Thank you!!

I think I was referring to the Prospects (Forge-born, so the ones with the big arc welder type weapons) as Juves. They fill a similar role and have similar stats so in my head regular juves should be on a similar base size. Apologies for any confusion!

this video is amazing, only really negative part for me ( which is a super big deal) is the berserk sound part. I listen this videos in repeat while im trying to sleep so i can learn & understand but that sound woke me up twice and i stopped listening on my sleep :D but great video, watched it 3 times already and i think i have a pretty nice understanding of what i can do. Thanks so much for the video!

I'm happy you enjoyed it, and thanks for the kind words. Sorry about the sound effect! I'm pretty sensitive to stuff like that myself, so I debated adding it in at all. I attempted to make it quiet enough not to be a problem. It didn't work but I'll definitely be wary of that sort of stuff in the future!

This (and the other videos) is really helpful for starting up my gangs, i have models but no idea whats what.

This was REALLY useful, thanks a lot for making it. I'm just building my first Necromunda gang so the suggestions were very handy. I'd like to vote for Cawdor or Enforcers next please!

Happy to help! I'll be doing the house gangs first, but plan to get through all the options sooner or later!

I don't think Juves are really meant to be smaller than a regular ganger. They're not supposed to be kids, just inexperienced in gang fighting. They're still, at least how it's written in the books, fully grown Goliath. Of course you can do whatever you want, but just wanted to put that out there. The Forgeborn are the only ones meant to be young.

@digitalwastrel

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment! These are good points. There is some holdover in my mind from 90s Necromunda when juves were more directly presented as kids, but as you say modern Goliaths come out of the tubes fully grown and having smaller minis might not make sense. Necromunda is a system where players are encouraged to put their own spin on things, so as mentioned in the vid, best thing to do is think about it yourself/chat with your group.

Great video my man! Really enjoyed the points you covered throughout the video and I especially like the fact you differentiate between good/bad/narrative. Thanks for your work! Already after the first showcase of your Goliath warband I've planned to do some Trash Goblins myself! I will try your variant, but I will also try Forge Born with the Vatborn "Terminal Biology" "upgrade", playing them as failed Vat experiment, who are just a step away from organ failure. Should be fun. :D Really cheap Forgeborn on the field that way.

It seems fine on paper but no hit bonus, 18" range and no AP always makes it feel bad. 20 creds is just a bit too expensive for what it is, and the S5 feels like a waste most of the time (unless you fight a lot of other Goliath or Ogryn or something). They look cool but I've always been disappointed when I use them

Why not make them Poison Jam?
