Well it doesn't have to be the Vatican or a civil war but it seemed like an interesting idea. Could easily be used against Zombies...
28mm tall figures
Priests

Swiss Guard, Nuns, Cardinals and the Big Cheese himself are all planned.

Only one thing comes to mind: "I kick ass, for the Lord!".
The theme alone cracks me up, and the execution is nice indeed.
-
I like them alot, very nice work, you continue to post nice minis
-
very nice Idea!Actually i know someone who is in the Swiss Guard,keep em coming!
-
The ones with Tommy guns would be perfect for the resistance of Crete during ww2.
-
This piece from Machete comes to my mind:
"Please father have mercy ! - God has mercy, I don't. *bam*" :D
-
Not so sure about the priests (mainly because of the M-16) but I do like the monks with thompson 8)
-
Love the monks, but not so sure about the other ones. I'd like to see more accessories identifying them as religious people, such as the cross the fourth one is bearing.
-
Ahh, these are nice as cultists!
-

I strangely agree... Maybe some more weapon variations?...Pistols or pump shotguns would be nice ;)
But your work is simply AMAZING, nonetheless...
-
Upon further viewing...I'd like to see priest 2 and 4 dressed like monks. Priest 2 with a remington 870...
-
Maybe armed with some more colonial era weapons. Might make an interesting unit for a vsf army.
-
will there be templars? ;)
-
Great stuff? How about a Dan Brown, albino, monk, hitman, flaggelant?
-
The Thompson ones are absolutely great! How cool would they be for WWWII.
-

or for an italian Weird World War team.
:-*
-
That's what I was thinking, Sangennaru! Or for a Vatican zombie-hunting squad. In fact, the tommy-gunners would be perfect for my (long planned but not yet executed) 1920s zombie project. Mmmmm.
-
A sort of WWII Angels and Demons.......................... :o
-
I oversaw the Crete comment. Sadly that attire is too western to represent Greek Orthodox priests. Not only are they missing the Kamilavkion (the typical hat) and a beard (easily sorted), the Greek Rasso (the "robe) looks completely different and is usually not tied at the waist.
I really wish someone would sculpt some Cretan partisans at some point.
Still for Italy or the Western front these are a beauty! I wants them!
-
These are great. They'd be great for Occult Wars games. Have they been picked up by anyone?
-
Maybe make them with open hand so that we can put what ever firearm we fill is appropriate.
-
Excellent and with the addition of the nuns, this range will be just what I have been looking for to do a game based, loosely, on Chrono Crusade.

The monks are great, Tommy guns were an excellent choice for them I think. Spot on.
-
I'm eagerly awaiting the Swiss Guard. Renaissance soldiers with SGs, how cool is that? :-*
-

I thought the robes and tonsures did a great job in saying "clergy" personally.
weapons; yes, other styles of rifles, shotguns, pistols (automatic, revolvers) would do nicely. Also fire axes, knives, clubs, maybe even police batons?
CCCW - Clergy Carrying Concealed Weapons.
Nice greens.
Gracias,
Glenn
-
Definitely a vote here for more figures! Both modern- and pulp-armed. Bring on the Jesuits with shotguns!
-
Some o0f the Italian police in their nice uniforms would be good, too.
-
I think this was actually on my 'wish list' (a thread with 'miniatures you'd like to see' or similar...)
Hmmm.... Need to know when and where they are available....
-

I hope to be able to tell you that shortly.

If you were to do some eastern priests I.e Othrodox I'd love to see one who looks a bit like this:

:p
-
I think I'd rather go down Rusiian or Greek orthodox routes first.
I reckon they'd make spiffy figures.
Plus alter servers are a must.
And tourists / civilians
Too many things to make!
-
Greek and Russian orthodox would be great. And you'd cover a group represented by a single 28mm generic miniature by TAG at the moment.
-
a don Camillo with shotgun would be nice too, preferably a Fernadel lookalike ;)
-
I could see the tommy gun wielding monks in Very British Civil War. I love it.
-
Are you going to do a Swiss Guard? Convert Halbadeers and replace their axes with tommy guns?
-
I want them all!
-

My first thought too though I'd give him a BAR or a Bren Gun. There was this Don Camillo movie where they flashed back to the war years when he was a partisan. Don Camillo had a beard, rolled up sleeves, ammo belts across the chest and a big-ass gun. A totally badass priest. That would make a great mini, one I'd jump on in a minute (especially if it has Fernandel's face!).
(Man, first it's Michael Bolton, now it's Don Camillo. What is wrong with me?!?)
Yours truly

Seconed that.
A must have :D
Nice range of minis right now, whiffwaff, respect
-
Vatican civil war would be easy enough - monks with guns vs nuns with guns perhaps, or there are VBCW Anglican clergy already available so you could go for the traditional Catholic vs Protestant option.
If you can add in the Greek/Russian orthodox too you're onto a four faction game before we even add in the Japanese tourists, atheists, cultists, or zombie players.
Apart from Don Camillo, how about Father Brown (Alec Guiness or Kenneth More)
How about someone wielding a bishops crozier as a standard (or melee weapon), or a sniper hiding behind a lectern ?
-

Or Heinz Rühmann?!
Minis are also nice for some "666" themed games

Years ago I saw a photo (National Geographic perhaps?) taken "around the back" at Vatican City, showing two members of the Swiss Guard in their full parade outfits carrying Steyr-Aug assault rifles. It was just strange enough to make me remember it vividly...
-
Love the figures :P I've been planning to do a HoTT army on this theme for a couple of years now, but trying to find suitable figures was always a problem. I will definitely be getting some of these and look forward to the Swiss Guard when they come out. How about some Templars as well ;)
-
I hope to be able to tell you that shortly.

Let's hope these ones stay this side of the atlantic eh?
;)
-
I knew there was a reason I thought Tommy guns were a perfect choice for these guys- I've been working my way back through the Judge Dredd case files and in the Judge Child Quest the monks of the Brotherhood of Trash have Thompsons, although their "mutie mincers" have drum magazines. I can't wait to see who these are going to.

Seconded!
-
Fantastic! Any chance of doing alternative versions armed with 19thC weapons and stakes etc for Vampire or Werewolf hunting?
If so, they would be perfect for all manner of Gothic Horror/VSF scenarios.
-
These figures would be awesome in a Zombie game. I can see it now, in order to combat and protect its flock the Vatican (the Pope) has issues a Papal Bull (Decree) for all priests, monks and nuns to carry weapons, and to dispose of the vile, filthy, evil undead abominations that are now walking the earth.
I know it was mentioned Greek and Russian Orthadox priests, and while I would also love to see some other Religions represented too, but also understand that certain ones may be a very touchy subject to make any figures of the religious leaders bearing arms.
-
How about simply making them with open hands so they can be equipped with whatever weapons are suitable for the period they're going to be used in? That way they can be used in a lot more games...

I have read through this several times now and I hope you are reply to my post else this will all look a bit silly!
Sorry I didn't mean Eastern as in the middle east more Eastern Europe so places like russia etc.
Sorry for the confusion. Also the image is of a Orthodox Parish Priest ;)

That's a great idea. Maybe some Close Combat Weapon bits as well

during 50s here in Italy they were used to say that if comunist won election Kosacs' horses would drink water in St. Peters Square fountains!
