So, I was thinking it'd be cool if the Germans got a Necromancer. I'm not totaly sure if it would work but I thought it seemed like an awesome idea. Just brainstorming but heres what I got.
SS Nekromant (German for Necromancer)
Veteran Specialist (Individual)
Equipment: Pistol, Nekro Staff
M:3 RC:5+ CC:2 A:2 DR:4 W:2
Special Abilities
- Using his Nekro Staff and the dark powers it holds, the Nekromant can attempt to resurrect a fallen comrade. To resurrect a fallen ally, it must have been destroyed the within twelve inches of the Nekromant. For 1 AP, the Nekromant may attempt to resurrect a model. To determine if the model is succesfuly brought back, roll 1d6. 1-3, the model remains dead. 4-6, the model is resurrected. Though brought back from the dead, the model is not restored to its full capacity. The model is considered a Undead Soldier.
Options
The individual's Training level can be increased to Elite.
The individual may be designated as a hero.
Notes
-None-
Undead Soldier
Green Abomination (Individual)
Equipment: None
M:2 RC:- CC:2 A:3 S:2 DR:4 W:1
Special Abilities
-Frighting
-Unintelligent
-Apethetic
Constructive criticism welcome. Looking for tips and the like.

Is there a "No Zombie Policy"?

Zombies make WWWII cry. Just trying to avoid the whole zombie thing as it has been done to death. Pun intended.  |

Is there a "No Zombie Policy"? A brief history... There is actually an official "no mecha or zombie" policy based on the Great Kingery-Hope Accord of 2003. It was ratified in 2004 by all members of the forum, although there were some dissidents in 2005 who staged a virtual uprising of unimpressive proportions in favor of zombie mecha. This was beaten down by the moderators and then largely forgotten due to the epic conflict between pirates and ninjas that occurred in 2006. Although the decision to ignore zombie-mecha was challenged it was finally settled, and all name calling ceased, in the case of Rubber v. Glue. The only officially Darkson Designs sponsored establishments that zombies, or mecha, are now supported with respect to AE-WWII, is in that curiously popular tabloid journal 'Adventuring Elephants' (see the late May edition) and in places of ill repute (see "Where Do you AE" in the Off Topic board). --------------------------------------------------- ;D But hey, whatever you want to make your guys to look like is fine. And whatever rules you play with your friends is cool too! I made up a flying saucer for goodness sakes, and no one shouted me down from the roof! I just don't expect to see official rules. |

What if they weren't zombies necessarily, but like their spirits? Or something of the like?

'Cept there's that undead dude riding his horsey into battle... Spirits seem to be okay, as long as they are disembodied or some such during the rising process. If I were to do a Nekromant, I think it would be any previously living model, regardless of faction, and they would last for one activation. That way, we could dodge the zombie stigma and go for "reanimated in a limited capacity", much like the Sturmaffe after it loses all its wounds, with Unstoppable. "Count a previously fallen living model as having had Unstoppable. It has one more activation. Perhaps the power could have an AoE for the effect? |

Mounted Undead? Who is that? Did the designers sneak one by me? The only dead thing in the game at this point is the Draugr.

Maybe instead of resurrection, you could focus on possession?
The Nekromant surrounds himself with a swirling cloud of malicious spirits with promises of vengeance on the living. He can use them in two ways: Either performing an incantation to possess a trusting soldier in base contact with a Spirit; making them unintelligent, Berserk, and sacrificing RC to boost CC. Or sending one wailing at the enemy as a ranged attack, which if successful will possess the enemy model for one round beofre dying.
Maybe have so many Spirit tokens that can be replenished if the Nekromant is near to a casualty, or just an infinite supply and make the incantations costly in AP?

Ya, I like that idea a lot.
As for the model I'm not quite sure. I was thinking the SS Agent with the druid's arms ( at least the staff one). And then maybe a cape.

The imagery and character of the Darkson models are fun to play with. You can do so much with them.
Just thinking off the cuff, I see several options:
1: Go with something like Mourn from Pulp City. Then you're done.
1a: You could do a similar Mourn pose and cloak of souls with the werhmacht guys, like the one who has a wider stance.
2: Take one of the regular DD werhmact guys, the one with the narrow walking forward stance, put /sculpt new arms for him with a menacing sort of "gathering energy in his hands" look. Probably with some tubes into the back of his hands too. Good opportunities for OSL. And then sculpt up some swirling spirits to attach to the base. I'm thinking less like the Reaper style casper the ghost smooth spirits and more like the wraiths in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Arc. But all of that would probably necesitate a 40mm base.
3: Use an Artizan or Pulp figure with a book and include some spirits, maybe make him look like he's floating and use the PP soul tokens.
4: Use the Pandora avatar model from Wyrd miniatures.
Take those suggestions for whatever they're worth to you. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

The only dead thing in the game at this point is the Draugr. And the Homonculous. |
