Oh: For another practical discussion, Deadlands undead can sue guns. 
Turn Undead has a limited range as far as I can remember. Great, the 
blessed turned the handful that ran at him with broken rifles as clubs, 
but what about the trio of former snipers in concealed positions?

 From my experiences, though, some character types and some adventures 
just don't work. In your case, maybe it's time to accentuate the 
Sweetwater goons and other mundane aspects and keep the undead on ice 
until you need them... I'm sure such an alliance would use a great deal 
of normal gunslingers as guards in areas where undead might bring 
unwanted attention.
