The Dice Roll …

Lucius Larch

Lucius has been leading the Call of Aleister for just over a year now. He took over after Reverend Marlowe took a plasma pistol shot to the face that evaporated not only his face but the back of his head also. The Call of Aleister has prospered under Word-Keeper Lucius’ aegis.

word-keeper

Lucius is known for striding into battle with righteous dignity as he clears corridors and rooms of heretics and discontents with his hand flamer Fury. He is even more adept with his two-handed axe Righteous. Watching him swing and twirl Righteous can mesmerize his foes leaving them motionless for a fast fatal swing of Righteous that decapitates them.

Billy the Boy

Billy has been with the Call of Aliester since the beginning. And was in fact a boy when the gang formed. He ran with the gang without being formally accepted as a member at the start and usually ran errands for the members. When his friend and mentor Isaiah was killed during a fight with the Delaque. Billy went on a one-boy hunt until he tracked down, isolated and killed each member of the gang responsible for killing Isaiah.

Cawdor BonePicker

A much older Billy the Boy (the name stuck) still wields his flail and stub gun when heading to a fight. He is absolutely loyal to the Cawdor, the Redemption and to Lucius. In fact he almost always fights at Lucius’ right side. There’s an unspoken bond between them, Billy always knows when some attack is aimed at Lucius’ blindside and Billy always intervenes, protecting Lucius.

Billy’s ability to move through the hive and gather information is very valuable to the Call of Aleister. The skills he used hunting down the Delaque, gathering, analyzing information and using it to manipulate events have turned him into a master of intrigue. He likes his ‘silly’ name of Billy the Boy because it’s hard to take anyone called ‘Billy the Boy’ as a serious threat.

Introducing a new Necromunda Cawdor Gang

whole cawdor gang

Cawdor gang “The Call of Aliester” traversing the south wall of Grippen sector. They’re a poor gang as many are in Grippen sector and get most of their credits by clearing out debris-filled areas, recycling/reselling the trash and finally receiving credits from the Administorum for making more hab-space available.
Everyone knows that the ‘recycling/reselling’ step is really just moving the trash to another area that the gang will eventually ‘clean out’ and repeat the cycle.
Lucius Larch the gang’s current Word-Keeper manages the gang’s contacts in the Administorum during the day in his role of ‘business professional’
even though the ‘business’ is never specified.

Ugly Mike has been with Lucius since they were punk kids. During a promethium heist an unlucky shot hit a promethium pipe Mike was sheltering behind. A jet of flaming promethium broiled away most of his lower jaw leaving just the bone and his teeth. He took to wearing a metal mask to cover and protect his jaw. His preferred weapon is a heavy crossbow.

Billy the Boy, the another gang member is almost a sycophant of Lucius’, he always runs in front protecting Lucius with his stub gun and flail.

Delaque v Escher

Brief firefight between Delaque and Escher gangers caused hivers to dive for cover.

The Delaque of Noz’s Nightshades unexpectedly run across some Escher led by the Death Mistress Caroline at the stairs near the South Gate of the Charred Hive. Noz’s Delaques were heading towards a known hive snitch when the unexpected encounter occurred. Caroline was on her way to kill the snitch for attempting to sell Caroline information the snitch wasn’t supposed to have.

Les Dames Bleu charge in!

5 escher charge

Some of Les Dames Bleu charge another nasty underhive tentacle. This Escher crew is armed with an executioner, a couple of stub pistols (‘stubbies’) and a combat shotgun. With a Death Maiden backing them up, they should make short shrift of this intruder from below.

Les Dames Bleu are ferocious. They shoot with a reckless abandon. Burning through ammunition faster than other gangs. Making other gangs think their motto is: “Keep shooting, it won’t hurt the dead!” .

Their wild blue hair, green leggings and bright yellow armor displays their contempt of their foes’ capabilities by making the Gals in Green very easy to see even in the darkest depths of the hive.

Pipe Meeting

Escher & Delaque meet around pipe

You never know who you’ll run into in the Underhive. The Delaque had no interest in this pipe until these Escher started hanging around it and keeping an eye on it in general. This piqued the Delaque’s curiosity, this piquing leading to a lot of peeking by the Delaque. What’s with this pipe? And what will happen when their piqued curiosity reaches it’s peak?

Now all eyes are on this pipe…

Ganger 9

Ganger 9

And then there’s Ganger 9 running atop Promethium tanks pistol aimed cleverly away from said Promethium tanks. His bald head is testament to an earlier run-in with the Tanks ‘O Promethium when he was just a beginning ganger. Since then 9 is always ultra-aware of his surroundings when those surroundings include Promethium in any type of storage container.

Ganger 13
