Necromunda Gangs: Goliath

Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly GOLIATH operative (excluding HIRED ARM), you can re-roll one of your defense dice.

Once per turning point, a friendly GOLIATH BRUISER operative can perform a Place Marker action for one of your Blasting Charge Markers to place it touching a terrain feature. After that action ends, that friendly operative can immediately perform a free Dash action. That friendly operative can perfom the Detonate action.

DETONATE (0 AP): Inflict 1D3+2 damage on each operative within control range of one of your Blasting Charge Marker which is within 6 inches of a friendly GOLIATH BRUISER operative, then remove that Blasting Charge Marker from the killzone and place one of your Breach Markers within 1 inch of where that Blasting Charge Marker was placed and touching the same terrain feature it was touching. Whenever an operative is within 1 inch of a Breach Marker, it treats parts of that terrain feature that are no more than 1 inch thick as Accessible Terrain. That friendly operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative or if there was no Blasting Charge Markers in the killzone. Treat this action as a Unique action.

Once per turning point; when an operative is shooting a friendly GOLIATH operative (excluding HIRED ARM), at the start of the Roll Defence Dice step, you can use this rule. If you do so, worsen the x of the Piercing weapon rule by 1 (if any) until the end of that sequence. Note that Piercing 1 would therefore be ignored.

You can set up one of your Stimm-Slug Stash Markers wholly within your territory and more than 2 inches from other markers, access points, and Accessible terrain. Once per turning point; whenever a Stimm-Slug Stash Marker is within control range of a friendly GOLIATH operative, that friendly operative (excluding LEADER and HIRED ARM) can perform the Not Done Yet! action.

NOT DONE YET! (0 AP): Select one Combat Chem rule (i.e. from COMBAT CHEM rule) for a friendly GOLIATH operative (excluding LEADER and HIRED ARM) within 1 inch of one of your Stim-Slug Stash Marker until the end of the turning point. Roll a 1D3; if the result is 1, that friendly operative is injured until the end of the turning point. Treat this action as a Mission action.

Before the battle, you can set up one of your Ammo Cache markers wholly within your territory. Friendly operatives can perform the following mission action during the battle: AMMO RESUPPLY (0 AP): One of your Ammo Cache markers the active operative controls is used during this turning point.

Until the start of the next turning point, whenever this operative is shooting with a weapon from its datacard, you can re-roll one of your attack dice.

An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, if that marker is not yours, or if that marker has been used this turning point.

Razor wire is Exposed and Obstructing terrain. Before the battle, you can set it up wholly within your territory, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.

Obstructing: Whenever an operative would cross over this terrain feature within 1" of it, treat the distance as an additional 1".

Before the battle, you can set up one of your Comms Device markers wholly within your territory. While a friendly operative controls this marker, add 3" to the distance requirements of its SUPPORT rules that refer to friendly operatives (e.g. ‘select one friendly operative within 6"’ would be 9" instead). Note that you cannot benefit from your opponent's Comms Device markers.

Before the battle, you can set up one of your Mines markers wholly within your territory and more than 2" from other markers, access points, and Accessible terrain. The first time that marker is within an operative's control range, remove that marker and inflict D3+3 damage on that operative.

Light barricades are Light terrain, except the feet, which are Insignificant and Exposed. Before the battle, you can set up any of them wholly within your territory, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.

A heavy barricade is Heavy terrain. Before the battle, you can set it up wholly within 4" of your drop zone, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.

Ladders are Insignificant and Exposed terrain. Before the battle, you can set up any of them as follows:

• Wholly within your territory.
• Upright against terrain that’s at least 2" tall.
• More than 2" from other equipment terrain features.
• More than 1" from doors and access points.

Once per action, whenever an operative is climbing the terrain feature a ladder is placed against, treat the vertical distance as 1" if the ladder is within that operative’s control range during that entire climb.

A portable barricade is Light, Protective and Portable terrain, except the feet which are Insignificant and Exposed. Before the battle, you can set it up wholly within your territory, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.

Protective: While an operative is in cover from this terrain feature, improve its Save stat by 1 (to a maximum of 2+).

Portable: This terrain feature only provides cover while an operative is connected to it and if the shield is intervening (ignore its feet). Operatives connected to the inside of it can perform the following unique action during the battle:

Move With Barricade (1 AP): The same as the Reposition action, except the active operative can move no more than its Move stat minus 2" and cannot climb, drop, jump, or use any killteam's rules that remove it and set it back up again (e.gh. HEARTHKYN SALVAGER Fly, MANDRAKE Shadow Passage).

Before this operative moves, remove the portable barricade it is connected to. After it moves, set up the portable barricade so it is connected again, but the portable barricade cannot be set up within 2" of other equipment terrain features, access points or Accessible terrain. If this is not possible, the portable barricade is not set up again.

This action is treated as a Reposition action. An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or in the same activation in which it performed the Fall Back or Charge action.

When you select this equipment, select two utility grenades (2 smoke, 2 stun, or 1 smoke and 1 stun). Each selection is a unique action your operatives can perform, but your kill team can only perform that action a total number of times during the battle equal to your selection.

SMOKE GRENADE (1 AP):

• Place one of your Smoke Grenade markers within 6" of this operative. It must be visible to this operative, or on Vantage terrain of a terrain feature that is visible to this operative. The marker creates an area of smoke 1" horizontally and unlimited height vertically from (but not below) it.
• While an operative is wholly within an area of smoke, it is obscured to operatives more than 2" from it, and vice versa. In addition, whenever an operative is shooting an enemy operative wholly within an area of smoke, weapons with the Piercing 2 or Piercing Crits 2 weapon rule have the Piercing 1 or Piercing Crits 1 weapon rule (respectively) instead, unless they’re within 2" of each other.
• In the Ready step of the next Strategy phase, roll one D3. Remove that Smoke Grenade marker after a number of activations equal to that D3 have been completed or at the end of the turning point (whichever comes first).
• An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or if you have reached the total number of times your kill team can perform it.

When you select this equipment, select two utility grenades (2 smoke, 2 stun, or 1 smoke and 1 stun). Each selection is a unique action your operatives can perform, but your kill team can only perform that action a total number of times during the battle equal to your selection.

STUN GRENADE (1 AP):

• Select one enemy operative visible to and within 6" of this operative. That operative and each other operative within 1" of it takes a stun test. For an operative to take a stun test, roll one D6: on a 3+, subtract 1 from its APL stat until the end of its next activation.
• An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or if you have reached the total number of times your kill team can perform it.

When you select this equipment, select two explosive grenades (2 frag, 2 krak, or 1 frag and 1 krak).

When you select this equipment, select two explosive grenades (2 frag, 2 krak, or 1 frag and 1 krak).

Once per battle, when a friendly operative performs the Breach action, you can use this rule. If you do, that operative can perform that action for 1 less AP (to a minimum of 1AP) as though it had the word "breach marker" on its datacard.

Use this firefight ploy during a friendly GOLIATH operative’s activation (excluding FORGE BORN and HIRED ARM) and while it has an Engage order. Until the end of that operative’s activation, add 1 to its APL stat. That operative (except for LEADER) can perform two Shoot or Fight actions.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly GOLIATH operative performs a Shoot action and a weapon with the Blast weapon rule (except Missile Launcher and Rapid Fire Grenade Launchers) is selected. Until the end of that action, add 1 inch to that weapon’s Blast weapon rule and it has the Severe weapon rule when shooting the primary target.

Use this firefight ploy when an attack die inflicts critical damage on a friendly GOLIATH operative (excluding HIRED ARM). That attack die inflicts normal damage instead.

Use this firefight ploy during a friendly GOLIATH LEADER or ZERKER operative’s activation. That operative can do the Operate Hatch action for 1 less AP. It can move through enemy operatives and within control range of them. It can perform Charge or Reposition actions while within control range of an enemy operative, and can leave that operative’s control range to do so (but then the normal requirements for that move apply).

Friendly GOLIATH operatives (excluding SUMP KROC) cannot be affected by the Stun and Shock weapon rules.

Whenever a friendly GOLIATH operative (excluding FORGE BORN and SUMP KROC) moves, it regains 1 lost wound.

Ignore any inflicted damage on friendly GOLIATH operatives (excluding FORGE BORN and SUMP KROC) from any or all attack dice successes with 2 or less Dmg stat.

Whenever a friendly GOLIATH operative (except FORGE BORN and SUMP KROC) is dropping from a 3+ inches height (measured vertically); once that operative is placed, you can inflict 1D3+1 damage on each operative within control range of that operative.
