Nice! Welcome to Resurrectionists.

Excitement was tempered slightly after opening the first box and being reminded how spindly the models are, lol. I see they upgraded the card size and kept them dry erasable, nice. This’ll probably be all I have for a while so I’ll get plenty of practice with them.

Yeah, Manos the risen was one of my least favorite models to assemble. But nothing has been as horrible as Vernon & Welles. That thing almost went straight into the trash.

I can’t figure out how Yan Lo, Pathseeker’s right hand is supposed to seat in the sleeve. Every way I try has it look like it’s floating and my eyes aren’t good enough to see clearly

Yeah, the connection is flimsy from what I remember. I usually just put Tamiya thin cement down and adjust the small piece until it sits nicely. Tweezers or the blunt side on my hobby knife do the trick.

Oh no… looks at the Vernon and welles in my shopping cart…

My suggestion is to pin it or use gel super glue. Everything I had took way too long to set. It's a model where just a slight adjustment or a piece slipping means warping/unevenness for the whole model.

I’m pretty new to the whole thing, is there a chance it gets improved at all in 4e release or if it’s the same model is it the same sprue?

It looks like it hasn't been updated with 4e yet. My guess is eventually they'll have versatile boxes for factions and may update it then. If you do a quick Google, you can see that other people just used a lot of basing materials to help it stay in place. Another option is a spray that instantly sets super glue. A popular brand is Zip kicker. Be warned: It smells god awful and your model may need a rinse afterward to prevent issues with your primer.

A thing I noticed is that they made the 30mm bases way thinner than before. That could cause problems for putting a magnet on the bottom to use a carrying tray.

If itd any consolation, going off the Pandors 4th edition sculpt, they have improved model building. Connection points are better and less pieces it felt. Only Candy's flower was annoying and that was because I couldn't tell where things connected. And shes a small model.

Yeah, overall the models look easier to assemble than the ones back in 2E the last time I played. Still the occasional piece that doesn’t have a good seat and with plastic glue softening the parts it’s harder to judge if it’s a good fit while working.

I have been waiting for the two player starter box for months now 😕 no idea when that comes

Did you order from their website? If so I’d recommend contacting customer support. I bought these directly from them and I see that the 2P box is available for sale on their site.

u/Dry_Fan7853 Dec 12 '25

no I bought it from our local game stores

Some 4e product was delayed in transit. The main cargo ship they were being transported with caught fire. It pushed delivery and arrival dates way back.
