Rangers of Shadow Deep - Solo play project

I got side tracked. I saw in the rules that there were Swamp zombies that made me consider how the swamp zombies would differ from the main ones.

I got carried away with the glue and the Nurgles’s Rot technical citadel paint and made several of them, when if i was remaining focused on playing I should really have been making standard zombies.

Used a dab of glue on the base, you can be fairly liberal because it finishes clear, glossy and boggy looking on the base, then using the nozzle or hobby knife drag from the base blob to a prominent point like an elbow or hand. The tricky bit can be that it finishes too thin as you drag. If it is strong enough you can apply nurgles rot a few times to build it up. If it does look way too thin try taking from the blob and aim another drag to the same point. Hopefully it merges with the old weaker strand on the way up. If it all goes wrong you have a reasonable amount of time to remove it before it sets. I have been told that bostick sets firmer and is easier to manipulate.

I also converted from a Mantic Games The Walking Dead All Out War game Walker mini. I chose to remove the feet because they were modern high heel shoes. The swamp was an easy way to hide the change. The bullet holes are a problem, but the spear through the back does take your focus away from the holes in the apron. The collar looked modern too, so i cut at it slightly and made it look like the apron neck straps. I liked it so much that i wrote a back story for her.

Fidelma the Blacksmith’s daughter was brutally murdered. Her ghost was said to walk the swamp where her body had been dumped and swallowed up. Resurrected in zombie form for some unknown dark purpose, she still wields the hammer of her trade; hell bent on revenge.
