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.
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.
@@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.
Back when I used to play, -13th addition, we didn't use this fancy "dice rolling" or "turn based" mechanic, we just slammed our models together and whoever broke had to be sacrificed
Next edition should require players to shoot their models with real guns, chop them with real knives, and set them on fire everytime they get hit or wounded
Games workshop came and sponsored our games club at our school donating a ton of games and models from hero’s quest, advanced heroes quest, man o war, epic, warhammer, warhammer 40k (it was still first and second edition then), tyrannid attack with extra game floor plates that was the tyrannid ship, space hulk with the expansions, and some other stuff I’m probably forgetting. A lot of us had got our own figures but also used many of the figures that were donated (mainly space marines, genestealers, and tyrannids (other than what is in the other games like epic, the warhammer fantasy stuff. We mainly focused on 40k) One game we were playing one guy decided to take his hand and wave it into our armies knocking figures everywhere. So we did the same thing to him, which he had kit bashed several of his figures. He threw a tantrum as soon as his figures got knocked over. We began laughing at him and saying he did it to ours so he hadn’t a leg to stand on and cry. He then began screaming that all the figures he used was his while part of the figures in we used some of them were the donated ones so it wasn’t so bad when he did it. Later he couldn’t figure out why no one wanted to play with him.
Oh believe me, it expanded beyond these ganger houses. Genestealers, Chaos Cults, Enforcers, Bounty Hunters, Prospectors(Necromunda squats/kin) and ash nomads are in the game.
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.
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.
@@nathanieladams8633 nope, they all going to be different flavors of trans.... in the rainbow future of the far future, there is only gender confusion...
I've recently gotten into Necromunda big time. I've currently got a House Delaque and Palanite Enforcers gang. I love how disconnected Necromunda is from the rest of setting too
I really hope that besides the main gang houses duking it out, the other factions get expanded lore, such as the Ash Waste Nomads, Corpse Grinder Cult, Ironhead Squat Prospectors and Palantine Enforcers.
@@darthghengis This is the life of a Nurse Practitioner. It beats being online for that same amount of time doing nothing. I have to put this degree I worked hard for to good use.☺️
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 😊
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.
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.
To be fare both still exist the imperial fist have a base their and it's a major recruiting world on the flip side khorn has a rather unique cult that worship him thinking he is a different god
More! More! More! Necromunda is one of my all-time favorites, so yes! MORE! A deep dive on each gang! Including Outcasts, the various Guilds, Ironheads, Nomads, Bounty Hunters, GSC, Enforcers! Lore videos on each section of Hive Primus, discuss the planetary governor and the big changes going on, and! I’m excited for Hive Secundus, particularly the Book of Desolation!
Thank you for this. The Jerico book was a good introduction to Necromunda for me, I will definitely check out that clan Esher book you mentioned. If you have the time, can you make another video with the other necromunda factions? Ratskinns, enforcers and squat minners
This was so cool Wes, ive never gotten a real full deep dive of necromunda lore like this, its gotten me really excited about checking out those models in a new light!
Necromunda is what I started with a year and a half ago..now I’m all the way into the universe, thanks to you! I just put storm of iron, and the book about the tech priest on my list as well! Big thanks to you 🎉🎉🎉
I've been aware of Necromunda about as long as I've been into WH40K, but knew little about its details. What a fuckin awesome setting! Definitely gonna need to dive into this, PLEASE give us some deep dives and story hours on this grimdark, mad max, crime world!
Oh wow! This gives me a bit of a “Warhammer Crime/Varangantua” feel. I knew nothing about this. Now I have to see for myself now that I’m nearly finished reading all of the Varangantua stories!
@@ThorGiske I love it all. The novels and the short stories. I especially loved the Baggit and Clodde stories “Dredge Runners” audio drama, The Wraithbone Pheonix, and The Vorbis Conspiracy. ‘Warhammer Crime” doesn’t have much representation on TH-cam yet, and I hope to see people cover it more soon.
Necromunda is by far one of the most fun games games workshop has produced. I was totally into the original in the 90s, and was overjoyed when they brought the game back. And the new edition is even better. Escher was my first gang, Van Saar are my present besties.
What I like best about the description of house Delaque in the book, is there are about 4 paragraphs, each containing a conflicting history. And each paragraph finishes with, "this is a lie."
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!
Out of all the GW IP there is, Necromunda i hokd a candle for. Its so rich, and one ofvthe few games that still models non playables like hangers on. The new stuff, the old stuff. So over the top, it inspired me to cosplay 😅. Im here for all the Neceomunda content Wes! ✌️
Thank you Wes! This was a fantastic video, and I appreciate how succinctly the diverse lore was curated and shared. As a long time game fan(atic) of the tabletop and lore, this was a great watch.
As a long time Necromunda addict I don't think I've ever been more excited by a WesHammer video. Love that you're covering some of the more specialist game lore too!
I like how the Delaque origin story is told like “no one knows where they come from, it could be these first 4 not very interesting theories, or it could be this final really crazy interesting and much more fleshed out theory.” 😂
I've been playing through Necromunda: Hired Gun and you just made most of their lexicon make sense, so thank you! I didnt realize Necromunda was it's whole own game! I would watch more!
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. I know a lot of people overlook this franchise, but I personally would LOVE more videos on it. The Corpse Grinder Cults and the Palanite enforcers seem so interesting. But yeah, this video was great! 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.
I was just talking to a buddy about getting necromunda armies yesterday so this video really helped explain the factions for me. More on this would be great!
Me: mom, I want Black Templars, Slaaneshi cultists, Orks, Guardsman, the Mechanicus, and the Alpha Legion Mom: we have Black Templars, Slaaneshi cultists, Orks, Guardsman, the Mechanicus, and the Alpha Legion at home Black Templars, Slaaneshi cultists, Orks, Guardsman, the Mechanicus, and the Alpha Legion at home:
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.
Would love more Necromunda videos! Definitely would help out the players in my Necromunda campaign I'm running who aren't 100% privy to the lore and universe.
I'm reasonably new to Necromunda lore but as a M:tG Grognard I've got an immediate soft spot for House Delaque, since they come off as the alternate version (and I think by the timeline, predecessors of) House Dimir, who I root for every time we're thrown back to Ravnica.
I don't see a lot of Necromunda lore vids. It was a nice change of pace from the glut of mundane lore. Its hard not to see the same lore on all of the lore channels. Good Pick Wes.
The escher death maiden model with the big headpiece and veil is just so feeaking cool. Could make a great slaanesh conversion. Or maybe a sylvaneth one
Currently I'm caught between wanting to get into the punk rock gun and drug runners and "We Have Alpha Legion at Home" and so I would LOVE to see more Necromunda content. I've already spent pretty much the entire pandemic getting into the rest of 40k, but this section of this galaxy gone mad has been something I've missed so far.
Overtyrant… as in, Ogre Overtyrant Greasus Goldtooth!? The Goliaths are Ogres!? Star Chamber… as in, Slaan Star Chambers!? The Silent Ones of House Delaque are Lizardmen!?
I love Necromunda. I sure would love to play it someday. It's been years since I got into Necromunda and I still haven't found a single person who wants to play a campaign with me. Not even a one-shot.
You know what would be amazing? A movie based on the 70’s film the “Warriors” but set in Necromunda using its waring gangs. I’m just saying it writes itself 😂
I miss the old days of Warhammer....when people actually remembered the *NECROMUNDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Necromunda: Hired Gun has its issues, but I really enjoyed playing it. It had that claustrophobic feeling of being trapped in a gigantic, underground facility filled with maniacal killers.
I enjoyed your explanations. They didn’t deliver the usual horrific relieve from the horrors of reality, but it was pretty nice to listen and think about the worldbuilding behind it - how to gather a whole bunch of different crazies with very dark sides without making the world one-sided.
Just want to point out that would never happen as their probably the houses that hate each other the most. Escher was one of the two houses that created and enslaved Goliath it was escher who gave them their name as well as who made first female Goliaths
NICE ONE WES!!! I mean while I am an absolutely huge Space Marine fanatic, on all the channels nobody ever does any necromunda and the gangs are freaking awesome and the whole backstory is awesome and it's just like its own little pocket universe that not a lot of people know about, I mean I know about it but I'm just glad that you're letting other people know about it so they understand how freaking ridiculously insane some of this crap is! LOL😂😂 Great vid as always, keep them coming, and Much Love and support from N.Y.!!!
honestly, this is a good setting for Total war game set up, there are some rumors about total war warhammer 40k, if it's true, this could be a great setting
So Necromunda is basically every back alley in Europe as a planet, I mean that's fuckin awesome, more that the huge bombastic setting of 40k I love it when they focus on a much smaller one such as Necromunda and/or Darktide gives you a different perspective on the world of Warhammer 40k and I love it, I wonder if there are any stories or novels just like it
So here's a theory I came up yesterday during nerd pub session ... terrible, poorly thought out brainfart incoming: The Man of Iron was purely the product of a fully functional STC, that got the wrong instructions and got a bit... overboard. The Ironkin from the Votann look very similar in design as the one Ironman survival in the Blackstone fortress and they are using some old STCs. So I think the cybernetic revolt was the result of the missuse of one or more intact STC. Hence when mankind finally got rid of the Man of Iron... We destroyed all our STCs. That's the reason why we can't find any fully functional one. We did a thorough job. :D
House Cawdor: We have Black Templars at home. House Escher: We have Drukhari Wyches at home. House Goliath: We have Thunder Ogryns at home. House Orlock: Mecronunda's Meritocratic Mafia 🙃 House Van Saar: We have Mechanicus/Scitarii at home. House Delaque: We have Alpha Legion at home.
House Cawdor: We're the westboro baptist Church of the imperium. House Escher: We're literally just Wych cults but human and a bit more punk rock than goth. House Goliath: They tried to reinvent the wheel and artificially create Ogryn. They got a mix of ogryn and Ork, but human. House Orlock: M A D. M A X...but also mafia. Sort of. House Van Saar: The SECOND the mechanicus finds our we have a (semi) functional STC, we are boned. House Delaque: We're the Necromunda CIA. But we might actually be in contact with the 40k version of Aboleth or the Reaper's progenitor race from Mass Effect. Plus, we got sick eyewear.
17:39 don’t forget that they also cared for each other a little bit too much. Take the step out of “oh no step brother I’m stuck” and you have their relationship to a T.
Love this content Wes, can’t believe I found it so late. Could you do more necromunda lore videos, on things like the Palatine enforcers, iron head squat prospectors, or ash waste nomads?

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.
Oh ya they have been doing A LOT with it since it's relaunch in 2017.
It also comes with all the corpse starch and Scrape you can stomach.😂
Oh believe me, it expanded beyond these ganger houses. Genestealers, Chaos Cults, Enforcers, Bounty Hunters, Prospectors(Necromunda squats/kin) and ash nomads are in the game.
Can't forget the corpse grinder cults.

I'm reasonably new to Necromunda lore but as a M:tG Grognard I've got an immediate soft spot for House Delaque, since they come off as the alternate version (and I think by the timeline, predecessors of) House Dimir, who I root for every time we're thrown back to Ravnica.
I don't see a lot of Necromunda lore vids. It was a nice change of pace from the glut of mundane lore. Its hard not to see the same lore on all of the lore channels. Good Pick Wes.
The escher death maiden model with the big headpiece and veil is just so feeaking cool. Could make a great slaanesh conversion. Or maybe a sylvaneth one
Currently I'm caught between wanting to get into the punk rock gun and drug runners and "We Have Alpha Legion at Home" and so I would LOVE to see more Necromunda content. I've already spent pretty much the entire pandemic getting into the rest of 40k, but this section of this galaxy gone mad has been something I've missed so far.
Overtyrant… as in, Ogre Overtyrant Greasus Goldtooth!? The Goliaths are Ogres!?
Star Chamber… as in, Slaan Star Chambers!? The Silent Ones of House Delaque are Lizardmen!?
I love Necromunda. I sure would love to play it someday.
It's been years since I got into Necromunda and I still haven't found a single person who wants to play a campaign with me. Not even a one-shot.
Very much in the same boat, don't know why there isn't more interest in it. Its one of the coolest settings in 40k.
You know what would be amazing? A movie based on the 70’s film the “Warriors” but set in Necromunda using its waring gangs. I’m just saying it writes itself 😂
I would love to see more necromunda content, just getting into the game and I can’t get enough of it!
I miss the old days of Warhammer....when people actually remembered the *NECROMUNDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Necromunda: Hired Gun has its issues, but I really enjoyed playing it. It had that claustrophobic feeling of being trapped in a gigantic, underground facility filled with maniacal killers.
I love Necromuda so much. I started playing it when it first came out and if I ever get back into tabletop games I’m starting there.
I loved this video. The longer the better. It's nice to learn something new instead of the same thing over and over again. 👍
Right off the bat, bright stars in the background.
I enjoyed your explanations. They didn’t deliver the usual horrific relieve from the horrors of reality, but it was pretty nice to listen and think about the worldbuilding behind it - how to gather a whole bunch of different crazies with very dark sides without making the world one-sided.
A full merging of Houses Escher and Goliath would be unstoppable.
Power and finesse.
Men and women.
Drugs and addicts.
The best of both worlds.
Just want to point out that would never happen as their probably the houses that hate each other the most. Escher was one of the two houses that created and enslaved Goliath it was escher who gave them their name as well as who made first female Goliaths
NICE ONE WES!!! I mean while I am an absolutely huge Space Marine fanatic, on all the channels nobody ever does any necromunda and the gangs are freaking awesome and the whole backstory is awesome and it's just like its own little pocket universe that not a lot of people know about, I mean I know about it but I'm just glad that you're letting other people know about it so they understand how freaking ridiculously insane some of this crap is! LOL😂😂
Great vid as always, keep them coming, and Much Love and support from N.Y.!!!
honestly, this is a good setting for Total war game set up, there are some rumors about total war warhammer 40k, if it's true, this could be a great setting
So Necromunda is basically every back alley in Europe as a planet, I mean that's fuckin awesome, more that the huge bombastic setting of 40k I love it when they focus on a much smaller one such as Necromunda and/or Darktide gives you a different perspective on the world of Warhammer 40k and I love it, I wonder if there are any stories or novels just like it
I think expeditions to the underhive would make a good game with mechanics from lethal company, it could practically be a mod for the game
I'd love to know more about Necromunda . It's like a micro setting in the wider 40k universe.
I always thought a unifacation war table top game would be awesome, love me some technobarbarians. Necromunda does a good job scratching that itch.
So here's a theory I came up yesterday during nerd pub session ... terrible, poorly thought out brainfart incoming:
The Man of Iron was purely the product of a fully functional STC, that got the wrong instructions and got a bit... overboard. The Ironkin from the Votann look very similar in design as the one Ironman survival in the Blackstone fortress and they are using some old STCs. So I think the cybernetic revolt was the result of the missuse of one or more intact STC. Hence when mankind finally got rid of the Man of Iron... We destroyed all our STCs. That's the reason why we can't find any fully functional one. We did a thorough job. :D
As an Austrian, seeing a Holzkern ad here gave me whiplash
Love this in depth on Necromunda. Now Im more interested in the game!
House Cawdor: We have Black Templars at home.
House Escher: We have Drukhari Wyches at home.
House Goliath: We have Thunder Ogryns at home.
House Orlock: Mecronunda's Meritocratic Mafia 🙃
House Van Saar: We have Mechanicus/Scitarii at home.
House Delaque: We have Alpha Legion at home.
I'm glad I used Escher Gangers as my EC Cultist Mob. They definitely have a Slaaneshi edge to them.
Your smile makes me smile and I appreciate your happy vibe whilst I am being embraced by papa Nurgle.
Great video as always Wes. You should definitely keep covering Necromunda. It's a super interesting part of 40k.
Got into Necromunda because I was proxying Delaque for 1ksons cultists. Love the setting now
Thank you, you made shopping for my mom very easy this year.
Somehow I've been waiting for this for so long but never knew it til this moment. Lol
I would love some more Necromunda lore especially for the corpse grinders and prospectors
I would absolutely lover more Necromunda Content!
House Cawdor: We're the westboro baptist Church of the imperium.
House Escher: We're literally just Wych cults but human and a bit more punk rock than goth.
House Goliath: They tried to reinvent the wheel and artificially create Ogryn. They got a mix of ogryn and Ork, but human.
House Orlock: M A D. M A X...but also mafia. Sort of.
House Van Saar: The SECOND the mechanicus finds our we have a (semi) functional STC, we are boned.
House Delaque: We're the Necromunda CIA. But we might actually be in contact with the 40k version of Aboleth or the Reaper's progenitor race from Mass Effect. Plus, we got sick eyewear.
17:39 don’t forget that they also cared for each other a little bit too much.
Take the step out of “oh no step brother I’m stuck” and you have their relationship to a T.
A Repo reference? In my 40k lore video? Love it.
House of Iron rise up! I love me some Necromunda content. I hope you'll cover the other factions in time!
Please more necromunda, a follow up with the other gangs sales pitch would be great!
This may be late but I definitely would love more.
A video about the other Necromunda's gang would definitively be interesting.
Love this content Wes, can’t believe I found it so late. Could you do more necromunda lore videos, on things like the Palatine enforcers, iron head squat prospectors, or ash waste nomads?
