I’ve been playing Resurrectionists for a while now, and what master of the undead would be complete without a swarm of unthinking zombies? Not me, anymore, anyways.
Mindless Zombie (arrows)
Mindless Zombie (suspenders)
Mindless Zombie (torso)
Mindless Zombie (hulk)
Mindless Zombie (spike)
The paint scheme here is pretty simple, as befits their cheap minion status. I did go for some dripping red blood on some of the wounds. I’m not quite sure the mechanics of a bloodless gray-green flesh that somehow still holds fresh, bright red, blood. But hey, it looks pretty good, so let’s not think about it too much.
With this year’s Miss Feasance providing a Seamus and an alt Sybelle already in the stash, I was just one clearance box of Rotten Belles and a proxy Copycat Killer away from a Seamus crew box worth of models. How could I resist?
Emeline Bellerose (alt Sybelle)
Emeline Bellerose is an alt Sybelle originally made available as a promo in August 2017 when buying enough Wyrd product from a local game store. Although the character she represents is undead, I decided to go with a cleaner, more ladylike appearance that most of my Resurrectionists.
Proxy Copycat Killer (Wild West Dorothy)
I’m still keeping an eye out for a Puppet Wars Seamus or Evil Baby Orphanage models for a more “official” proxy. But for now I’ve got this Wild West Dorothy from Reaper’s Chronoscope line. There’s some light conversion of giving her a bigger gun, and of course hats. The topmost hat is an extra from one of the Winter Wonderland Ice Gamin, so at least there’s some Wyrd product!
Rotten Belle (burgundy)
Rotten Belle (green)
Rotten Belle (purple)
Finally, the Belles. They get my standard undead treatment, and individual colors to help distinguish them on the table.
Since I’ve evidently doing Resurrectionists now, I guess I should probably do some Versatile models. Dead Rider seems like a good start.
Dead Rider
I decided against using my undead flesh recipe on the horse, even though he appears to be a re-assembled horsey monstrosity. Instead I went with the purples and (and green for the rider) that are my primary colors for the Ressers.
To make it look more decayed, I went with bronze and verdigris on the metals. I picked up Secret Weapon’s verdigris paints a while ago, but haven’t really worked out how to use them. I haven’t achieved a particularly realistic effect, but at least it adds some visual interest.
The Forgotten Marshall is the final model needed to complete my Forgotten collection. In game I like to give him The Whisper, to either summon a model or tee up for nice attack. His summon is a bonus action, so worst case he uses it to consume the worst card The Whisper lets me see.
