The Straight Edge Society


Even amongst the House Cawdor gangs from The Abbey, the Straight Edge Society is considered extreme.  Their particular interpretation of the Redemptionist creed calls for a rejection of all forms of drug in the name of the Emperor - even Lho Sticks are banned from territories controlled by the Society.

Led by the charismatic, but uncompromising Ezekiel, the self-styled Prophet of Purity, the Society seeks to extend the reach of their beliefs across Sector B67 saving the souls of the residents as they do so.  Of course, the Society isn't too popular with the underhivers in B67 but that hasn't put Ezekiel and his followers off - in fact it fires them up to recruit even harder!


I picked up the House Cawdor miniatures back when I first came back to the hobby - their background is, clearly, a mash-up of Cawdor Redemptionist and the CM Punk S.E.S. arc (which of course I loved being straight edge myself).

Here are the two Leader miniatures - both to use as Ezekiel, Prophet of Purity (depending on if I ever get a power sword!)


As I've mentioned on the blog before, my favourites in any gang are the heavies - here we have (L-R) Josiah the Preacher, Malachi the Disciple and a grenade launcher dude (either as an alternate heavy or for a jammy specialist roll):


I added a few backup weapons to these guys' backpacks.  Those tough ammo rolls can quickly leave them without their main gun after all!

Ever gang needs its gangers and the Society is no exception - here are the lasgun armed guys (L-R) Jeremiah, Micah, Samuel and Caleb:


Next up are the autogun dudes (L-R) Isaiah and Isaac:


The last of the gangers are the shotgun chaps (L-R) Elijah and Ezra:


And finally we have the juves (L-R) Saul, Seth, Ahab and Levi:


Seth got a switch from a knife to a laspistol as I do like a dual-pistol armed miniature, especially in Necromunda!

That's two gangs fully painted now... enough to have a full 'play it painted' experience in Sector B67! (how did that happen?!)
