Air, food, water and light are all hungrily consumed by the subjects of the Imperial House, and there is never enough to go around. To not just survive, but to thrive, one must be a magnificent specimen of violence and a creature of single-minded brutality. Such is the Goliath. It is a creature born of the bones of the vanquished and the ash of past civilisations; a gene-smithed conqueror without pity, remorse or fear.
For the cruel necessity of the Imperial Tithe were the men and women of the Goliaths made, ash and iron their cradle, the toxic world of Necromunda their birthright. All Rights Reserved.

Subjects of Lord Helmawr, heed now the voice of Necromunda! Lord Helmawr praises the efforts of the forge clans and their weapons of blade and iron.
The Imperial House reminds all hivers that the bullet tax has been tripled so as to foster an environment in which the melee weapon output of the war forges can be best put to good use — the Lord of Necromunda reminds you, never use a bullet when a blade will suffice. In his infinite beneficence, Lord Helmawr has seen fit to reopen the Pit of Bones in Hive City. The Imperial House must warn against the dangers of wayward abhumans. If an Ogryn makes eye contact, uses a word with more than one syllable, or refers to itself in the first person, you have just had an encounter with a seditious member of a dangerous splinter faction within the Ogryn slave caste that threatens the very fabric of our glorious society.
Notify your local Palanite Enforcers immediately! House of Pain blood season cf. Pit of Bones grand cycle cf. Enforcer punitive enslavement protocols. The Imperial House reminds subjects that should they encounter a renegade Ogryn, they need not fear. Despite their size, Ogryns are slow and surprisingly weak, much of their bulk being for intimidation purposes only. Ogryns also have notoriously poor eyesight and, if all else fails, simply standing still will render a hiver invisible to their feeble senses. Without the physical strength to dominate rivals or to endure the hardships of Necromunda, a Goliath is nothing. They were created as a slave race to work the refineries and forges of Necromunda and toil in places where even hardy Necromundans could not survive, and while the members of the clan are practically abhuman in their size and strength, only fools underestimate their resourcefulness and low cunning.
It was the folly of their creators, who believed the Goliaths could be kept docile and ignorant though genetic meddling, that allowed elements of the clan to gain their independence. Ironically, no sooner had the Goliaths gained their freedom from their creators than they enslaved themselves again through the creation of a savage hierarchy. From among their ranks, the strongest rose to dominate domes and hives, culminating in the ascendance of the Overtyrant, the lord of all the Goliaths on Necromunda. This overlord holds dominion over the clan via the flow of life-giving stimms — chem cocktails essential to the continued existence of all Goliaths. Goliaths are unique among the peoples of Necromunda, being on the whole gene-smithed beings, forged from a stable genus of humanity but enhanced for strength and endurance. To date, most Goliaths are still largely created through esoteric biological means — rapidly grown in amneo-vats from flesh-templates and turned out into the refineries and factories for immediate hard labour.
These brutish creations are mostly male and mostly sterile, living for less than a decade on a diet of backbreaking work and growth stimms before their bodies fail and they die. Despite this short life-span, Goliaths are born with a baseline knowledge of their world and their position in it, delivered via a cranial data-slug. During the years of slavery, this mnemonic injection was intended to keep the Goliaths ignorant and included only the basest information, keeping them at a learning level akin to a small child or a clever animal. After the Goliaths won their freedom, the Alphas ensured that the data-slug was altered to include the collected knowledge and experience of the Goliaths who had come before.
In this way, the Goliaths share the knowledge of the clan gathered over hundreds of generations, giving them a working understanding of everything from hive industries to clan weaponry. Despite this advantage, most Goliaths are still suited only for the grinding work of the refineries and factories. Initiative and creativity remain rare traits among the massive workers and it is unusual for one born of the vats to rise up much higher than a factorum overseer or gang leader. For this reason, the Clan House has stratified into several social groups and, while ostensibly all Goliaths are equal, some are born with more gifts than others. These are the workers who fill the factories of the House, maintain its position as a refining and manufacturing powerhouse on Necromunda and also provide fodder for the Goliath gangs. It is not known for sure where the name first came from, though some have speculated the moniker was first used by the Escher or the Van Saar to remind House Goliath of its place among the hierarchy of the clans.
Whether this is true or not, the Goliaths have appropriated the name for themselves, wearing it proudly as a reminder that they were once enslaved by others — while at the same time conveniently forgetting that they merely traded the slavery of their birth for a less defined, but no less real, subservience to their Alphas and ultimately to the Imperial House. Many of the Alphas are Natborn, as are the Overtyrants almost without exception. The Natborn also represent the future of the Goliaths, and a stable way for the clan to reproduce that may one day free it from the necessity of the amneo-vat technologies.
Outside agencies are also interested in the Natborn, for if the Goliath genus can reliably reproduce itself then the clan could become true abhumans and perhaps be seeded to other worlds where their strength and hardiness might aid the Imperium. Unborn are unusual in that they have chosen to join the Goliaths, sometimes unwillingly, rather than been born to them. To become Goliaths they must undergo dangerous augmentations to change their bodies. Despite coming from outside the clan, the Unborn are welcomed into the House provided they can prove their strength and will to survive the rigours of the Goliath life; Unborn are also valued by the Natborn as a means of introducing more diversity into the Goliath genus, and another potential key to unlocking a future for the clan free of the amneo-vats.
To other clans the difference to deal with the cycle-to-cycle running of their enclaves, or to fight for their amusement and violent gratification in the pits. Their close relationship with the Mercator Sanguis, the Slave Guild, has turned them into slavers themselves, and the rattle of chain gangs is a fixture of Goliath territories, while Goliath gangs go on regular slaving raids for their clan to bring fresh meat for the pits or the factories. House Goliath has even less respect for slaves than the other clans, which is saying something. This attitude, along with the title House of Chains, could just be part of the nature of Goliaths.
However, perhaps it exists to distance the clan from its past, and the time when its members were the weaklings, held captive on the leash wrought by their creators. between Vatborn, Natborn and Unborn is negligible, each seemingly similar in size and appearance. By contrast, the Goliath themselves can tell the lineage of a brother or sister at a glance. Gravitating toward the most dangerous places, the House has given new life to forges, refineries and production lines grown cold and idle over long millennia of neglect. Knowing full well that its rivals are too weak to survive in these failed regions of the hives, House Goliath has used them to maintain its edge over the other Clan Houses, despite being one of the least numerous clans of Necromunda. In some hives, the Goliaths have even purposefully polluted their territory by smashing air ducts or rad-cleansers to keep the other clans at bay. It is a practice abhorrent to the Noble Houses of Necromunda, who consider the ancient system of the hive sacred, though one that is undeniably effective.
It is also not without some truth that the industrial rivals of the clan fear that one day House Goliath might rise up to eclipse all other Clan Houses, perhaps even outliving all other humans on Necromunda to become the last living things on the planet — all the while still working dutifully for the Imperium. The other Houses have tried for centuries to break the metal-forging monopoly created by the Goliaths but have been stymied not just by the savagery of the Clan House but also the Noble Houses. It is a poorlyconcealed secret that many of the Noble Houses, and even the Imperial House of Helmawr, favour the Goliaths, for they represent the ideal underclass: hardy, naïve and short-lived. Or perhaps this is just what House Goliath wants them to believe. The House has rapidly made itself indispensable to the Imperial House, and for its labours is afforded certain concessions not granted to the others. The excessive violence endemic to House Goliath is openly tolerated by the Noble Houses, provided it remains contained to the lower levels of the hive.
It is this kind of acceptance that allowed the Over-tyrant Varran Gor to snap the neck of his rival in the presence of Lord Helmawr without the Master of Necromunda so much as looking up from his wine. Goliaths are usually left to sort out their own problems, and if another clan has an issue with the Goliaths then they too are left to pursue it without excessive interference by the Imperial House. It is a system that has worked for centuries and seen a steady growth in Goliath territories throughout the hives, as well as an increase in the production output of their forges, something of far more interest to Lord Helmawr than a few broken heads.
Despite the Alphas keeping the local clan enclaves in line, there are still those Goliaths who go rogue. Some become outlaw gangers, heading down-hive to make their fortune, while others try to escape out into the ash wastes, perhaps in a misguided effort to find some rumoured promised land. In most cases, these rebellious members of the clan are left to perish once their diet of stimms runs out or the horrors of the Outlands consume them. There are persistent stories though of a free Goliath state somewhere on Necromunda. Known as the Last Forge, rumours have it located in places as far flung as beneath the Spoil, on a subterranean island in the middle of the Worldsump Ocean or on one of the rusting hulks of the Navis Mortus.
If it is the eventual dominance of House Goliath that keeps the other Clan Houses awake during night cycle then it is the Last Forge that scares Lord Helmawr. As long as Goliaths remain slaves to their biology they can be controlled, or terminated if need be, though should the day ever come that an entire community of Goliaths can live and breed without the need for technology, Necromunda may well be in trouble! In the space of a few centuries, the House shook off the fetters of its masters and carved out a name for itself in the ancient ranks of Necromundan society. Through strength and determination, House Goliath achieved these things — but also through need. For more than any other Clan House, the people of Goliath had but two choices when the chance for freedom presented itself: fight or die. BORN IN CHAINS For as long as anyone on Necromunda can remember, the hives have been failing.
And for as long as the Imperial House has held domination over the toxic world, the Helmawr line has sought to keep its industries alive. Automation, the dominion of the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Dark Age of Technology is widely mistrusted on Necromunda, and many factories and tasks have become impossible to perform without vast numbers of workers to turn wheels, haul chains or push conveyors day after day. This is where the story of House Goliath begins, born from the ambition of Alberoth Helmawr and the religious hysteria of the Redemption. The 39th Millennium was drawing to a close when the first flames of the Imperial Cult known as the Redemption blossomed to life in Hive Primus. The cult spread rapidly through the drudging classes, stripping hives of their workforces and prompting mass exoduses across the planet. Alberoth Helmawr only saw factories abandoned and hives rendered unproductive by misguided faith in a distant overlord. Though Necromunda was vast, and nothing so simple as a religious awakening could rob it of its power, Alberoth felt control over his people waning.
Worse than this, Alberoth rankled at the notion that the subjects of his world should see him as anything less than their absolute ruler — or their god. From those to court his interest, both Van Saar and Escher offered the most convincing prototypes for gene-smithed workers, the Houses offering their skills to Lord Helmawr for special concessions once the workers were ready. Alberoth was never going to place such an important task in the hands of a single Clan House — after all, they could go behind his back with another Noble House, or choose to keep the creation for themselves. As cunning as any Helmawr to come before him, Alberoth invited both Houses to collaborate on the project, for surely a vat-grown slave born of Van Saar bio-tech and Escher alchemical expertise would surpass anything either House could accomplish alone.
For decades, the two Houses warred over the task set by Alberoth, even as they ostensibly worked together to give the Lord of Necromunda what he desired. Of course, it was not the first time in the long history of the planet, or even the history of the Van Saar and Escher, that the creation of a slave race had been attempted. These efforts had met with failure as the technologies used by the Van Saar often proved unstable. Horrific mutants or psychotic abominations were produced as often as brain-dead organ bags or vats of fleshy, self-aware soup, the Van Saar lacking the stabilising agents produced only by the Escher chem-covens. By contrast, the Escher had enjoyed some success with the revival of the recently dead and chemical mind control, though neither of these solved the problems of their withered male population.
The history of the endeavour was plagued by sabotage and intrigue, not just between Escher Chem-matrons and Van Saar Bio-archeteks. The only House not to work against Van Saar and Escher during this time were the scions of Delaque — though if this was by accord with Lord Helmawr or for their own interests remains unclear. MADE FOR THE FORGE Alberoth marvelled at the things House Van Saar and House Escher had created. The Goliaths had been bred for their size and endurance, with purposefully diminished intelligence and life spans to make them more docile. As workers they proved far superior to the human stock of the hives and factories filled with them immediately saw THE ANCIENT HOUSE OF GOLIATH Over the millennia, there have been several Clan and Noble Houses to bear the name of Goliath.
Later tales recall that the Goliath were a ruling House of one of the equatorial hive clusters, its peoples known for their size and stature. What became of these first Goliaths remains lost to time, though fragments hint at some calamitous event that destroyed their home, and forced them out into the wastes. More recently, the name Goliath was held by one of the major Clan Houses of the Mynerva Cluster. These Goliath, similar to those who came after, were known for their great size, clad in muscles and favouring savage dress and adornments. Unlike the current Goliaths, however, they were natural-born Necromundans who built up their strength through toil rather than genetic manipulation.
It is recorded that these Goliaths were bitter rivals of the Escher, then known as the Eschaki. The two Clan Houses fought over the spore mines of Mynerva, until their gang war reached its peak during the Mynerva Cluster famine, when both sides sought to leverage the situation against their rivals. In this House Eschaki had an edge, as their holdings and interests spanned many hives, while the Goliaths were largely contained within the Mynerva Cluster. In an event known as the Great Poisoning, the Eschaki wiped out the Goliaths by tricking them into capturing a tainted corpsestarch shipment, then launching a massive assault before the Goliaths could recover.
It is believed some of the Mynerva Goliaths did escape the wrath of House Eschaki, though what became of these outcasts remains unknown. Some have speculated that the strongest among them have joined the current House Goliath as Unborn, while other stories tell of rebel enclaves still ruled over by this forgotten House. increases in production and efficiency. Yet the process of creating the Goliaths remained slow, for it relied on the alliance of Van Saar and Escher. Despite their successes as workers, the Goliaths failed to solve the problems of their creators. The short life-span made them unsuitable as organ donors for the Van Saar, whose own shortened lives seemed long by comparison. Equally, the Escher found little use for the Goliath as, almost without exception, the slave race was born sterile. Both Clan Houses blamed the other for purposefully engineering these traits into the Goliaths to confound their rivals, and both fought many clandestine wars believing the other had kept back vital secrets.
While the Clan Houses bickered, the Imperial House saw to it that Goliaths were seeded in hives across the planet. Sold via the Slave Guild, tens of thousands of the hulking workers brought life to manufactoria and domes that had not seen industry for centuries. Soon the sight of grease- and soot-covered giants lumbering through the gloom of the hives became a common one, and even the drudging classes accepted these strange new additions to their ranks. Goliaths were given the worst jobs possible, usually working forges where heat and toxic fumes made factories anathema to life. Despite this spread across the planet, compared to the billions of people of Necromunda the Goliaths remained a minority, their numbers limited by the technology used to create them.
It began almost unnoticed by those set to oversee the Goliath workforces. In the scant years a Goliath lived, between emerging from their tank to dying worn out by their labours, their intelligence crept up by degrees. This was seen as a boon by the Clan Houses as it allowed the Goliaths to better execute their duties, and posed little threat to their control as, if a generation grew too independent of thought, the next would reset the scale. Yet the Goliaths had begun passing knowledge down from one generation to the next, the most cunning among them creating a crude language and scratching messages onto factory walls or machine casings for those who came after. As time passed, this language evolved, as did the Goliaths themselves, until they could tell how many generations had worked a factory before them, or how long Goliaths had been in a hive, and even where they might have come from. This simple knowledge told a Goliath they were not alone, that out beyond the steel walls of their world there were many more of their kind waiting to be free.
So it was that, year by year, the Goliaths learned of their place on Necromunda, and planned to change it. Had the alliance between House Van Saar and House Escher endured, even unprecedented as it was in the natural order of Necromunda, the Goliaths might still be slaves today. When Alberoth Helmawr died, drowning in a bath filled with Somerian wine, the union of Van Saar and Escher was well and truly finished. Dividing the technologies used to create the Goliaths, both Houses attempted to claim the production and control of the slaves for themselves. Unwittingly, the clans had given the Goliaths the tools they needed to break free, and they were swift to take advantage.
But the Goliaths did not need anything so dramatic, for they had already been given vast territories suitable only for their own use, and all they needed to do was claim them. Remote settlements were the first to fall to the Goliaths, their overseers replaced or exiled until the Goliaths ruled in their stead. Then those that sheltered in the depths of hives or clung to their shells, hostile to most Necromundans but tolerable by Goliath standards, gained a measure of autonomy. Inevitably, there was violence between the Goliaths and the Houses who had sought to enslave them, though critically the Imperial House remained apart from these wars of independence. The Goliaths, ruled over by the most evolved of their kind, were wise to maintain, or in many cases increase, their production quotas even as they wrested control of their fate. Considering all inhabitants of Necromunda were in effect slaves to the Imperial House, the title seemed redundant.
Slaves were also generally inefficient, since they needed to be guided and guarded. House Escher was perhaps the most violently opposed to the emancipation of the Goliaths and fought bitterly to keep them in their place. During the Hundred Cycle War in Hive Primus, that saw the Clan Houses seek to exterminate the Goliaths of the HangingForges, the first Goliath Alphas emerged. These were natural born Goliaths, far more intelligent than others of their kind, and with longer life spans. The Clan Houses had hoped to starve the Goliaths of their vattechnologies and simply allow them to die out, but the Alphas proved this was not going to be a viable tactic.
The tipping point was when House Van Saar made an alliance with the Goliaths. In a historic meeting Duke Hedrick Xth met with the first Over-tyrant Hefrum, also known as the Vat-mother for the genetic heritage she shared with countless members of her Clan. Hedrick offered Hefrum the technologies to create more of her kind, if the Goliaths would enter into a lucrative trade partnership with the Van Saar. It would be several centuries before all Goliaths were free. Even after the Goliaths of Hive Primus established themselves as an independent power, the violence continued. In some places, like the Grind-rigs of the Northern Spoil, the Goliaths remained as slaves for years before being liberated by their brothers and sisters, while in others like the Sumpsprawl of Hive Quintus, the Goliaths were exterminated by the ruling clans for fear of rebellion.
Piece by piece, however, the Goliath claimed territories, proving their right to exist on Necromunda. By the middle centuries of the 40th Millennium the Goliaths had taken their place among the Clan Houses, even if many of their peers did not yet fully accept them. The process of claiming independence had forged them into a clan far more robust than any of their rivals. Combined with the fact that Goliaths shared a genetic heritage unique on Necromunda — or perhaps even within the Imperium — they were brothers and sisters far more so than even the fanatics of Cawdor, who only shared a religion, or the members of Van Saar, who were held together by a secret curse. Though they often fought for dominance between themselves, the means of their birth had created a foundation of kinship upon which to build for centuries to come.
SPHERES OF INFLUENCE Each of the Clan Houses, and indeed the Noble Houses and the Guilder families, displays its own unique and often highly idiosyncratic mode of dress, language and behaviour, and this is as true of street-born gangers as it is of spire-born nobles. But not every subject of Necromunda is born of a clan, a Guild or a Noble House, and neither do they bear the colours or wear the dress associated with one. In between the clanners and the helots, there exists numerous other human stratum. As individuals find themselves drawn by fate or commerce towards the power centre of a given House, they might take on something of its distinctive culture in order to mark their allegiance.
Nonetheless, there is a clear distinction between purebred clanners and such temporary affiliates and, of course, the very nature of some Houses excludes it, in particular House Escher, whose subjects are nearly exclusively female. Of course, in the underhives of Necromunda the centres of Clan House power are very distant indeed, and so the distinctive House gangs often move like brightly-clad predators amongst the drab, grey-clad mass of the dregs of humanity. HOUSE GOLIATH TIMELINE M39 — BIRTH OF A CLAN House Goliath, as it will be known in the latter millennia of Necromunda, is born into slavery. In the last years of the 39th Millennium, the Goliaths would acclimatise to the world into which they had been made, while at the same time rebelling against the chains placed around their necks. These efforts to improve the lot of the underclasses are not driven by anything so altruistic as goodwill but rather a fear of the planet one day failing to meet its massive Imperial tithes.
To this end, he sponsors chirurgeon-covens and alchemican biologists across the planet to create such a creature. SETBACKS AND SABOTAGE Fearful of the imbalance a gene-smithed worker could bring to Necromunda, Clan and Noble Houses alike seek to stop the Van Saar-Escher alliance. Bio-labs and chem-claves become fortresses for their workers, as assassins and saboteurs stalk the hive intent on stopping their experiments. In the first hour of the assault, thousands are slain on both sides, and the defenders are pushed back to the very doors of the uberworker vault. In the aftermath of the battle, the Delaque ask nothing of Van Saar and Escher, though the clans know a debt will be owed for their timely intervention.
During this time, the initial rumblings of rebellion within the clan begin and the first real inroads to freedom begin to unfold. Oblivious to the chain of events they have started, the other clans continue to use the Goliaths for their own agendas and plots. SLAVES TO THE FORGE A few scant years after the first Goliath is birthed, the slave clan is put to work. Tens of thousands of gene-smithed workers, with an intelligence little more than animals, are herded into the factorums and taught the simple tasks they will perform for the rest of their short lives. Tens of thousands of them are shipped out to hives across Necromunda and the Lord of the Imperial House places orders for hundreds of thousands more. MISHAPS AND MYSTERIES Despite the success of the Goliaths, some strange events dog their dissemination across the planet.
Some shipments of Goliaths go missing, while others escape into the wastes becoming feral things who hunt ash waster and hiver alike. Perhaps most disturbing of all are rumours of secret labs producing their own strain of the Goliath genus. A SECRET LANGUAGE Overseers discover Goliath workers are leaving crude markings on their machines. Some of these settlements, such as Pit City, grow into thriving centres for outland trade and travellers. Their masters hail this development as a new strength of the slave race making them better at their job, despite voices raised in concern over what this could mean for the future of the planet. M40 — BROKEN CHAINS By the midpoint of the millennium, the clan stands on the cusp of rebellion and the true work of becoming a Clan House can begin. Seeing the potential of this newlyrisen faction, Lady Helmawr manipulates events to spread the influence and power of the Goliaths to every corner of her blighted, industrial world. This act will set a precedent repeated across the world over the following century.
THE SHADOW FORGES With the death of Alberoth and the failure of the long alliance between the Clan Houses of Van Saar and Escher, central control of the Goliaths fragments. In places they remain slaves under their clan masters, while in others they win their freedom, either through violence or the plotting of their overseers. During this time, the first Shadow Forges appear comprising independent Goliath enclaves. FEAR, FOLLY AND BETRAYAL The Clan Houses seek an alliance to stem the rise of House Goliath, though their efforts are plagued with betrayal. HOUSE GOLIATH TAKES ITS PLACE Despite decades of minor uprisings and endemic gang violence, the Goliaths continue to thrive. When Over-tyrant Hefrum marches into the Council of Clans in M40, her peers realise their efforts to stop the Goliaths have failed and, with the blessing of Lady Helmawr, the clan takes its place officially among the Clan Houses of Necromunda.
Rather than refute these rumours and try to defuse the violence directed against them, the Goliaths paint their skin in vivid colours and wear spiked suits of furnace plates, using the stories to spread terror among their foes and further expand their reputation and territories. VIOLENCE OF THE FORGE With the sanctioning of Lady Helmawr, and having mustered their strength over the intervening decades, House Goliath launches a massive expansion of its territory in the final years of the 40th Millennium. This begins in Hive Primus with the Day of Iron, a mass assault by the Goliaths on rival forge works throughout Hive City.
Running battles unfold throughout the searing workings of manufactorums, the Goliaths filling the hive with the sounds of screams and gunfire. M41 — WARS AND BETRAYAL Internal politics within the clan threaten the newly-formed House as the Goliaths adjust to ruling themselves. Meanwhile, the start of the millennium sees numerous rivals seek to destroy the clan before it can fully muster its strength, leading to dozens of shadow wars across Necromunda. MIGHT MAKES RIGHT The House eschews the societal structures of the other clans, choosing to grant leadership not through lineage, position or skill, but rather through strength. A BITTER HARVEST A strange malady affects a generation of Goliaths across Necromunda. Entire batches of Vatborn are lost to mutation and wasting diseases, the House masters first believe sabotage from their enemies, though no one claims responsibility for the atrocity, and its size and scope seems beyond even the efforts of the Noble Houses.
THEFT OF KNOWLEDGE A lack of great minds within House Goliath leads its rulers to seek technical expertise and skills through other means. Millions of skilled slaves are bought or captured by the clan in what becomes known as the Theft of Knowledge. This practice will define the clan for centuries to come as they grow to rely upon these intellectually-advanced slaves for the tasks they cannot complete themselves. BEASTS IN CHAINS House Goliath takes consignment of a massive shipment of slave Ogryns. In a single cycle, the Ogryn population on Necromunda almost triples, with millions of the brutes now working the forges of the Clan House.
These abhumans will steadily become more integrated into Goliath society, until many on Necromunda see the Ogryn and the Goliath as one and the same. THE FIRST FEAST Over-tyrant Argen the One-handed announces the first Feast of the Fallen. So great is this first celebration that it shakes the foundations of domes across Hive City, with even some spire nobles complaining about the unreasonable racket coming from down-hive. DIVISIONS OF BLOOD Larger numbers of natural-born Goliaths start to change the dynamics of Goliath society. While bloodshed prevails at first, the Goliaths of the Fist in Hive Primus infamously expelling any Goliath born by natural means, or those found to be fertile, until the Over-tyrant himself steps in, culling any who threaten the future of the clan.
M41 — RISE OF THE ALPHAS With the establishment of the Over-tyrants, a lineage of House masters is formed. This internal strength will define the clan for centuries to come and give it the power to take on all-comers. THE FIRST ALPHA Skullgar Hammerfist of Hive Primus fights his way up from the pits to challenge Over-tyrant Vascara Bull for the right to rule the clan. A NEW KIND OF MEDICINE As the Alphas become the de facto House masters of the Goliath hives, the number of Unborn increases. Individuals drawn by the strength and power of Goliath make their way to Goliath enclaves.
This in turn draws docs looking for work and greatly increases the longevity of both Alphas and Over-tyrants. VICTORY ON THE PLASMA SEA A raid by the Goliath gang, the Dog Soldiers, breaks through the advanced defences of the Van Saar Home-Reactor. THE FIRST FORGE WARS Since earning their freedom, the Goliaths have been steadily taking over the industrial smelting and forging of metal on Necromunda. As their power waxes they launch the first forge wars, aggressive assaults on rival factorums and manufactoria. BEATDOWN TOWN In Hive Trazior, Goliaths establish the outlaw settlement of Beatdown Town. Several assaults by the Palanite Enforcers end in failure with the Goliath gang and their allies driving the Enforcers back from their walls.
Eventually, the Lords of Trazior choose to ignore the existence of Beatdown Town and get on with their lives. THE GREAT OVER-TYRANT Thulan Rex becomes the 99th Over-tyrant of the Goliath and heralds a new age of expansion for the clan. A Natborn, Thulan will live for almost 50 years, by far the longest lived Over-tyrant to date. Welcome to the Ash Wastes Leave the underhive behind with Necromunda: Ash Wastes.
