Forge World Arm Necromunda’s Goliath Gang
March 29, 2018 by dracs
Warhammer Community has just previewed a new set of weapon options Forge World are preparing for Necromunda's Goliath Gang.
This new set provides the Goliaths with a whole armoury's worth of brutal new weapons, ranging from side arms to massive hammers!
Having these new weapons available lets you bring a bit of variety to your crews, kitting them out to reflect your own preferred style of gameplay.
I think that as accessories go these look superb, and serve to enhance the brutal look of the Goliath Gang.
Do you plan to pick up a set when they get released?
"A whole armoury's worth of brutal new weapons..."
The guns are all right, but I don’t like this idea of “Want to expand? Use Forge World!” For me as non UK player it can get expensive.
Don’t get me wrong, FW has a lot of quality (I’ve bougth somethings in the past) but this feels like an excuse. I don’t belive for a second GW can’t do awesome plastic sprues for the weapons.
It really feels like giving FW some work to do just for the sake of it…
Necromunda is a specialist game which is run out of Forgeworld (same as Blood Bowl). FW doing the upgrade sprues isn’t GW giving them work but how this and every other Specilaist game is likely to work. I am not sure home much GW prime had to do with any of it TBH.
Necromuda is a popular game that could stand plastic upgrade sprues. I’m a Necromuda fan and will pay those prices (when they release Orlock upgrades) but I wish it were otherwise.
They look great but the only Major addition seam’s to be the heavy weapons.
How easy are the models arms to magnetise? I don’t have any of the models. I imagine Goliaths should be the easiest due to the size of their arms.
I was wondering the same. Not sure how it works with upgrading gangs with new gear.
Goliaths have very big contact points between their bigarms and big chests. Orlocks less so, Escher way beyond my skill as a modeller. YMMV
I am really glad to not only see that more gangs and rules are coming but also that things like this in support of those released are also beginning to see the light of day.
Yes as the Escher weapons upgrade set one I will get on the 05/04/2018.
