Necromunda - Brother Hameln of House Cawdor

Just a quick hit today - Among other projects on the painting table of late is some reinforcements for my House Cawdor gang in the form of Brother Hameln and his coterie of bomb rats!


These little critters are from Anvil Industries, and includes a little detonator hand for their erstwhile controller. Tons of character to the sculpts, I'll almost feel bad running them into harm's way!


Anvil also does some great rat swarm models, so I figured I couldn't go wrong with a few bases full for special scenarios. Hoping to get some games in over the upcoming weekend in preparation for a Necromunda event at Adepticon this year, pics to follow!

  1. Looks great! I love those bomb rat Models, been thinking of picking some up myself for a while. I can't help but notice that detonator bit is also sufficiently nondescript to pass for some sort of futuristic whistle, flute, or, well, pipe, and also that you've got him painted in a pied colour scheme ;) I probably would have called him Maurice tho.

  3. These look great, very characterful as you say! And I'm sure these were actually deployed in WW1 or WW2, so based in the realms of fact.

  7. Hilarious! (well, for you, maybe not for the rats). He needs a pan pipe on his belt though!

    1. Hah! An excellent suggestion! I'm thinking of building a second handler and will definitely see what I can do!

    1. Juves and bomb rats abound in the Cawdor gang, it's a catastrophe! :D
