Trench Crusade Sniper Priest

First #TrenchCrusade test mini. Quick and dirty seems the way go. Going to break out the streaking grime for that little extra.

Looks pretty cool. Get some nuln oil on those armor plates. Is he a sniper? With a blindfold?

If anything, the blindfold is just an aesthetic because I wasn't sure how to do empty eye sockets:

"These devotees of the Church blind themselves ritually as a devotion to God and use only their faith to strike the enemies of the Church. During the Siege of St. Lux stories were told of a sniper priest killing a target 3 miles away"

That is a novel approach to sniping.

I love blindfolded snipers or pistoleers. Just always seems so cool. Great work on the mini!

Looks neat. Is this an ArtelW sculpt? What would be cool, if you fancy, is some wood grain painted onto the rifle. I've found that it tends to add an eye catching bit of detail.

I haven't looked into Trench Crusade, but I have really become enamored with Turnip28. Yet one more thing to put on the project list.

It's the Relic Envoy from GW's Cities of Sigmar, but where he is meant to be holding a sheathed sword I swapped in an AdMech rifle.

The setting is grimdark WWI with demons and plenty of crusades influence so adding guns and gas masks to AoS minis seems to work well.
