As all Goliath gangers are meat heads that are bred for hard labour in some worker's union manager'snightmare of a refinery plant that are also jacked up on drugs to continue their existence in said labour sites. I figured weight lifters would be a good source for names. But decided to use wrestlers for inspiration instead, as I have more of an interest in the material, I also used some feuds to make up the backstory to the characters as well.
This blog seems to be really messed up with formatting, some new lines using Headings for font, making it size 16 and bold. Other times indenting and not centering, usually weird stuff happens when I add pictures. Please don't adjust your monitors, it's just the demons in my computer trying to escape.
Once Blind gang
Lex Galan could have had it all, he was a rising star in Wasteland Wide Fighters. Surviving multiple fights against the likes of Nikita in the fighting pits, and spreading Goliath's influence throughout the harshest levels of the under hive. There was just one critical moment that cost him his title as leader of the gang. His gang was to stop any kinds of interruptions while House Goliath met with the House Escher to broker a large trade agreement. Stimm-elixirs are vital to the survival of House Goliath, with them the hulking laborers can toil endlessly in the refineries without much rest. But Lex and the rest of the "Butch Deadlifts" were busy taming their craving to escape the dredges of their harsh lives. Sting tried to convince the others that they needed to be alert for their duty, but they all ignored him. House Orlock took advantage of their inebriated state, sabotaging refineries and looting their mineral deposits. The Over-Tyrant was furious, disowning all of the neglectful gangers that followed Lex. Sting was outraged at the outcome, he left Lex's gang without a word to his former leader.
Now an outcast, Lex Galan was miserable, still needing a fix of stimm-elixir to starve off the symptoms of withdrawal. After several fake highs from the drugs, and hitting rock bottom once while he wasn't able to find a fix. Lex came across preachers from House Cawdor called "The Divine Twilight". Tengus Astin was practiced at finding the down trotted of the under hives, speaking publicly outside of factories, neutral territories to the sick and unsupported in their daily lives. He would bring the light of the Emperor, giving them half truths that would bring them into House Cawdor. (more on him and The Divine Twilight next post.)
Listening to their teachings, he realized that he was part of a whole and that his addiction was greater then himself. Salvation wasn't in the stimms, it was in faith. With his new teachings fresh in his mind, which was now cleansed of his stimm-elixirs, he vowed to clean up House Goliath. His first target would be "The Four Headsmen." led by Flik Blair. Flik was a staunch believer in the continued stimm enslaverment of the rest of House Goliath, defeating his gang would be one step to taking down WWF as a whole.
Meanwhile, his fellow gang members that had been exiled with Lex were experimenting with other xenos drugs that might give them the same high. "Stardust" and "Emperor's Rain" were only a few of the drugs that Animal and Hawk were using between laboring in whatever refinery that would take them on. One of the side effects of the drugs was that it would change the colour of your skin and veins, making them glow in unusual colours. Some of the other gangers were worse off, unable to function with their addiction. Lex invited Animal and Hawk to his new gang, Once Blind. He would help them through their dependency, as the Emperor never turns away from those most in need.
Bruno and Steele were able to keep working in House Goliath. Steele gave a rousing speech, but the Over-Tyrant was unimpressed. It was only when Steele acted like an animal, biting chairs and spitting out stuffing into the Over-Tyrants face, that he would realize that "Steele" and "Bruno" would make great entertainment in the fighting pits and were hired back. Wasteland Wide Fighters had become corrupt and uncaring about the members of their stable, fellow members would die young from stimms or dangerous work environments. Bruno and Steele would leave the WWF in search of redemption for their slave brethren. Hearing about Lex's new gang, the Once Blind they decide to join him on his journey to dethrone House Goliath.
Lex was amassing his old gang to take on the champion of the Wasteland Wide Fighters, Flik Blair. They ambushed "The Four Headsmen" taking an early advantage in their fight, but the xenos drugs were no match for the real stimm infused gangers. Flik had Lex cornered, when Sting arrived, motivating his would be rival to fight back against Flik.Lex pushes back against Flik, injuring the champion, but before a fatal blow is struck. Larry Ginhand saved the leader of the Headsmen, throwing a smoke grenade at Lex
There was no sight of "The Four Headsmen", but Sting would now join Lex and the rest of the Once Blind to hunt down their former masters.

Some of your eagle eyed readers might have noticed the new game mat I have to show off the Goliath. That's right, I picked up Rogue Trader used from a friend. It would be great to be able to use some of these models in necromunda. I would vote the Starstriders would be a better fit as the Gellerpox models don't really have much in the sense of ranged weapons.... well besides bile and sputtum which might be the most effective ranged weapons in 2020.
Gellerpox infected storm the bridge
Next on the Hobby Desk
I seem to be running a bit behind on the battle reports now. I have soon to be two crusade battles to post. As well as a WarCry campaign that Rachel and I played today. Not to mention the backstory for the Cawdor gang that has been sitting on my desk for ages.
I blame it on working mornings, making me super lazy after work, but there is definitely time to get stuff done. Gotta stay motivated!
