Year of the Rat: Cawdor Gang

Necromunda – Slowly but surely I’m getting though the backlog of Necromunda miniatures I’ve acquired since the game was rereleased in 2017 (and again in 2019). My goal for the year is to get through a gang per quarter. Initially I was shooting for one per month but with my commission load I don’t think that’s realistic.

Cawdor is an interesting gang. Poor and destitute the gang is responsible for trash clean-up and “recycling.” They are also religious fanatics with a penchant for burning things they don’t like. I was never huge fan of the gang in previous editions they just looked weird like squires or something. The new plastics however are very cool, you can see where the various articles of clothing or armor have been scavenged from. So rather that a weird medieval squire/cult look they look like hobos that are making use out of everyone else’s trash.

This initial batch of ten models is built entirely from the core gang box. I opted to build them out to look as cool as possible. I’ll need to build out the gang to see is I can fit this into the 1000 credit campaign cost or a 1500 credit skirmish cost. I would imagine they’re fine as Cawdor is supposed to be the cheap horde force.

I plan on picking up the Corvus Cabal to flesh out some other options for this gang. The sheen birds and grapple hawks are fun options that might help to bring a bit more character to the force.
