Divine Twilight - Cawdor Gang Proxy

 Well, it's better late then never. 

Here for your viewing pleasure is my Cawdor Gang, I bought the minis from Mirliton. It's based out of Italy and they do some really good metal miniatures for sci-fi and fantasy. They also do some smaller 15mm scale sculpts if you are into that as well.

The Divine Twilight


When I ordered this back in March, while I was still riding off the Necromunda high after playing it at Toon Con, I was a bit nervous about getting anything shipped from Italy at the time, but with how long they actually took to show up. I figured 2 months on a boat was probably enough self isolation for the models.

The Divine Twilight, the religious gang is on the lips of thousands of hivers. Be it a whisper of members disappearing ("relocating" to spread the word of her coming) or devote followers let go abruptly after several years of service. All civilians have been in some way impacted by the organization or had known someone who is a follower. 

Preachers seek out weak spirited individuals among the hive, blessing them with words of faith. Reminding them that there is a way out of their poor, starving laboring lives, and it's through Him that they will find peace and tranquility. It is told that she will come again, appearing in visions of a majestic purple light in the dreams of those deemed worth of his visage. Once these misguided miscreants are recruited into the fold, they are privileged to come to ceremonies at the church after proving their worth. Followers are tasked with recruiting others to the church, where they worship, recite ancient text that time has forgotten, Each member striving to be more, desiring perfection in their work

Once a devotee has turned 19, they are now ready to take a pilgrimage out into the world, or the Sacred Mission. This holy rite of passage is how you get to see inside the Temples of Desire, where deprived screams of pleasure and pain echo throughout it's halls, fueling the imagination of the weak minded. On your pilgrimage, you will be moved off planet to ones that the High Chancellor would deem as having a "crisis of faith".

Sebastian & Mordecai


Sebastian and Mordecai have been on many missions together, despite a large number of them being on hostile planet. . Some of the other gang members often call them over achievers (which is saying a lot for a Cult of Slaanesh) as they are always sharing the same story, about how they were able to convert a Kroot. Qriaww, wasn't satisfied with the gene traits of one species, it desired more variety. A great hunger stirred in the great warrior, savaging fellow kroot and enemy a like, becoming a ravenous beast. Sebastian challenged the Kroot to a unarmed combat, and won. Sebastian promised that every enemy of the Divine Twilight were just as powerful as them, that combat would be exhilarating performance of art against those that were bred from the harshest environments. Qriaww would agree to follow the Divine Twilight as long as this was true.

Porter & Corvus


Corvus and Porter both are juves of the gang, joining the fight for a better life then hard honest work. Hoping to score big on a quick job.

Kalum & Klaudius


Kalum and Klaudius brothers that have been surviving on their own for years, the comfort of the gang life made it easier on their daily lives. Kalum was grievously wounded in battle, which forced him to wear a respirator. He hopes to acquire enough money to fix his wound with augmentations. Both believe in sharpening their own skills and one day commanding the gang themselves.

Cassius & Petro


Cassius and Petro, once enforcers that worked deep within the underhive, they now plan to secure supplies to the Divine Twilight from their connections within the force.

It might be fun to do a Kroot as one of their hangers on, but the size difference between the models would be pretty wild. So this is what I have as a list instead.

Sebastian - Leader - Krak Grenade, Fighting Knife, Sawn-off Shotgun - 195 Credits

Mordecai - Champion - Krak Grenade, Fighting Knife, Flamer - 300 Credits

Cassius - Ganger - Emperor's Wrath rounds, Polearm/Blunderbuss - 120 credits

Petro- Ganger - Frag Grenade, Photo-goggles, fighting knife, Reclaimed Autogun - 150 credits

Klaudius - Ganger - Stub gun  Dumdum Rounds, stub gun - 85 credits

Kalum - Ganger - Respirator, Sawn-off Shotgun - 75 credits

Porter - Juve - Reclaimed autopistol - 35 credits

Corvus - Juve - axe, Stub gun - 40 credits

Total 1000 credits

  1. Nice!

    I love those old Copplestone scultps I have a few from the 90s when they were originally produced by Grenadier - and picked up more since then. Many of them are hiding among my own underhive citizenry!

    Looking forward to seeing what you have planned for next year!

  2. Thanks Tim! This was shortly after your Toon Con demo that I bought these, they have a real Mad Max flavour to them, which is perfect for Necromunda. I figured they would be a bit taller as they are basically dwarves around the other GW models.

  3. Well... with newer, plastic GW models - they fit in perfectly with the original Necromunda models!
