Forge Tyrant

Ajex Gorgoth, the most famous of Forge Tyrants, looking like a god damn Space Marine.

Forge Tyrants are a type of brutal overseers of House Goliath. Typically the second-in-rank, a Forge Tyrant answers to no one except the Overtyrant who commands all.

Overview

Forge Tyrants rule their gangs with iron-fisted savagery. Should a Forge Tyrant show any sign of weakness it would immediately invite challengers from within the ranks of the gang to dethrone them. For this reason, a Forge Tyrant must always be ready to defend their position and to exert their dominance through raw physical strength. Many Forge Tyrants periodically pick one of their gangers to brutally make an example of.

By far the most famous of these Tyrants is Ajex Gorgoth, the Lord of the Fist, who is a Natborn member and is among its eight most influential Alphas within Hive Primus.

Due to their high rank, Forge Tyrants enjoy plenty of specialised and expensive weaponry such as the exclusive Stub Gun-Plasma Combi-Pistol alongside Missile Launchers, Grenade Launchers, Power Hammers, Eviscerators and a Master-Crafted Renderizer. Some like Ajex Gorgoth, may even wear custom-made power armour for protection. They also carry a small collection of Frag Grenades and Krak Grenades.

Crunch

On Necromunda, the Forge Tyrant is as as equally terrifying at swinging an axe as they are aiming down the crosshairs. They’ve gained access to a slew of new weapon options, in both regular and Master-Crafted varieties. Basically it doesn’t matter what sort of tools you give this guy – he’s going to use them to wreck house.

Forge Tyrants have a Cool stat of an absolutely insane 4+, so Goliaths can expect to remain cool, calm, and stay on the board even after they fail a Bottle Test. His Stub Gun-Plasma Combi-Pistol makes him quite surprisingly effective at range, although he can swap out for either a Missile Launcher or Grenade Launcher for tank-busting and horde clearing respectively. His Renderizer on the other hand? Yeah that shit claps. High AP and multi-attack makes him a rapetrain with no breaks. Use him, a lot.
