I had bought the von Schtook box at Adepticon on a whim, despite never playing Resurrectionists before. When Wyrd announced these undead pirates would be this year’s Nightmare alternate crew box, I knew I had my new faction.
Mary “Blacktongue” Bonnet (Nightmare Molly)
Blacktongue / Molly comes complete with a skeletal parrot for her hat. Blacktongue is painted similarly to her minion Skellywags, but her bright red cloak sets her apart on the table.
Wayward Mariner (Nightmare Necrotic Machine)
The diving theme for Molly’s totem is what really sold me on the box. I don’t think I really sold it as old and decayed, but he’s still got the cool diving helmet so I’m happy.
Nani and the Voice (Nightmare Philip and the Nanny)
Nani and the Voice is a bit disappointing as a model. Much like the new Anna Lovelace, this model doesn’t justify the large base size. While painting she was tacked temporarily on a 30mm and it looked just fine.
Skellywag (crossed swords)
Skellywag (dual weild)
Skellywag (unsheathing)
Amazingly, I made it all the way to my first game before I realized the pun behind the Skellywag name. Malifaux undead don’t have enough pure skeletons, so I’m happy to have these three in my case.
Vandas Greycloak is the last model from the latest Relicblade Kickstarter, and is the exclusive model from this release.
Vandas Greycloak
As my second undead Relicblade model, I decided he should match the Bone Fury, with the red cloak and blue belt.
In game, Vandas Greycloak acts as an alternate sculpt for the Dark Wanderer. Since he’s a limited release, that makes a ton of sense. People who scored the limited model should just get cool points when putting it on the table, not in-game benefits.
I received this promo model for participating in the Broken Contract event at Adepticon this year. Wreck Age is one of many post-apoc/distopian games that have been on my radar for a while but hasn’t quite managed to break through to a significant buy in.
Stitcher Hunter with Netcaster
But I’m not one to let the lack of game prospects keep me from painting a cool model.
Ross Jebson was one of this year’s Easter models from Wyrd. He’s an alt Slop Hauler, and may remind you of somebody. I’ve been watching Bob Ross videos with the kids, so I’m primed and ready to go. Of course, I had to have a happy tree, and a cabin. I didn’t exactly follow the prescribed technique, but I can do anything I want, so nice, so nice.
Ross Jebson (alt Slop Hauler)
This was the first metal model out of Wyrd for a while. I’m not entirely sure how I feel about it, though if it lets them do more small run models it’s worth it. Metal also lets you get away with some finer pieces, like the easel.
