This marks the first time I’m painting the Emissary and Effigy at the same time. Since in third edition, the Effigy can grow into the Emissary, it seemed to make sense to paint them with similar colors.
I tried a splatter effect to dirty up these models — Resurrectionists are supposed to be dirty. It works okay on the Emissary, but the scale doesn’t feel right on the Effigy.
As much as I like the Carrion Emissary as a model, I just don’t like it as a game piece. It’s too bit to easily transport. At least the wings are high above the base, so smaller models can fit under it.
The Draugr can’t be all alone. He needs some Revenant friends.
The lampads are a pretty annoying kit. Lots of flame bits, which can be very hard to see how they line up.
I painted it simply, with ash grey skin and GW Hexwraith Flame for the flames. The translucent green makes for easy blends for some quick and dirty OSL.
I scored this alt Draugr when it first ran as an LGS promo a couple of years ago. He’s been waiting for me to turn my attention to Resurrectionists and then Reva. Well, now is the time. At least for some Reva friends.
He is, of course, the coolest Draugr sculpt, because he has the coolest beard.
As always, I’m late to the errata party, but the Steam Arachnid Swarm is still useful.
I have another set of three still on sprue, but I’m saving them to maybe magnetize to use as both individual and group. Or maybe I’ll use them for conversions down the line.
