The new Necromunda Ajex Gorgoth mini looks like he can smash through any of those puny gangs out there with his giant fists!
Necromunda has been getting a ton of really cool minis lately, and this one follows the trend! He’s giant, wears some sort of self-made armor, has a power fist, leads the largest Goliath enclave, and has a giant chainsword. What’s not to love?
That’s not all for Necromunda this time, as there is also a House Cawdor upgrade pack (in resin) for the Ash Wastes.
New Necromunda Ajex Gorgoth Goliath Mini Revealed!
Warhammer Community unveiled the new mini, the upgrade pack, and some rules for the big guy. Let’s check it out!
As one of the Natborn – naturally born Goliaths who typically show increased intelligence and lifespans – Ajex was marked for his cunning and ingenuity from an early age. His ability to craft weapons and armour from the scavenged scrap of the forge pits gave him a leg up in the brutal internal scuffles of House Goliath, and before long he’d risen to lead the Forge Lords gang.
Gang life wasn’t without its injuries, but Ajex turned each grievous wound into greater strength thanks to self-made bionics and crudely ‘powered’ armour. He even replaced his nose when it was bitten off in a fight, and anyone brave (or stupid) enough to mock it tends to find an iron schnozz buried in their forehead.
The mini is a little bit ridiculous, but what else do you want from your Goliath minis? They are meant to be huge with scrap-built armor!
Nowadays, Ajex leads the Fist – the largest Goliath enclave in Hive Primus – ranking him among the Hive’s eight influential Alphas. He rules over the Fist’s many manufactorums, slave pits, and fighting arenas, though the drudgery of day-to-day management is far from the top of his schedule.
He’s so much more armored and giant than most things in Necromunda, so it’s no wonder he rose through the ranks.
Ajex Gorgoth Rules
The Lord of the Fist is usually found furthering the House’s interests in the underhive, most often at the end of his massive powered claw. His unstoppable popularity with fellow Goliaths has even the Over-tyrant concerned – Varran Gor follows Ajex’s career closely, lest he join the trophies on his back.
With S+3, D2, and Pulverise, he will probably be able to break through nearly any enemies.
Ajex is a true monster in close combat, as unbothered by Ambots as he is by upstart Forge-born, and his combination of heavy carapace armour and the Immovable Stance skill render him almost impossible to budge. He might not be winning medals for sprinting any time soon, but once planted in a crucial chokepoint, Ajex will hold the line better than anything short of a battle tank.
With an insane save and being totally immovable, he is perfect to plop down on a checkpoint and just let him soak all the damage up.
House Cawdor Upgrades
This resin set also contains a variety of backpacks for carrying important supplies like candles, saw blades, candles, ammunition, and candles. You can’t rely on the ramshackle Ridge Walkers to carry all your baggage, after all, and you never know when a skull, some bomb rats, or a buzz-saw blade will come in handy out there in the wastes.
These are pretty cool and show off just how much they hate technology! Instead of fancy armor, gas masks, or anything, they use what they have! These will be in resin, and they say they will be available soon, but not exactly when.
