Bully

The first batch of disposable muscleheads.

Bullies are members of House Goliath and are the young (Like, very young given Goliath's accelerated aging, so like, age 2, although they are anything but Shotas) whippersnappers who want to join the gang and 'bulk up'.

Overview

Bully's are young and inexperienced members of Goliath gangs with none of the combat experience of a Bruiser. They often are fresh from the forge gangs or slave pits with the only ambition of rising through the ranks. Some may, in time, rise up to take their place in the gang proper, or even make a name for themselves as a Forge Boss or even a Forge Tyrant. Most, however, don’t survive their first gang fight, sent out by their leaders to soak up bullets.

Due to their youth, Bullies aren't expected to carry anything too special. Usually this includes Autopistols, Stub Guns, Axes, Brute Cleavers, Frag Grenades, Krak Grenades, Smoke Grenades, and Incendiary Charges.

Crunch

On Necromunda, Bullies unlike most Juves, actually gets shit done. Despite their fluff outing them as glorified meatshields, in the game, they are just as effective as their seniors. Indeed, Goliath Bullies share a basic statline almost identical to full Bruiser gangers, with a reduction in Ballistic Skill and secondary stats (lower Ld/Cl/Int) in exchange for a 20 credit discount.

Their promotion ability now allows them to become Bruiser Specialists, which primarily unlocks the improved equipment list available to Specialists. It’s entirely possible to create a Bully who’s able to tailor their advancements and gain the five required for promotion before a regular ganger is able to luck into the random roll to become a Specialist themselves.
