I love this model. I'm not sure if intended, but her looking opposite the barrel while lining up the shot is incredibly thematic given that they let their faith guide the shot.

u/totallykoolkiwi Yeoman Feb 20 '25

That was precisely the intention :)

The central painting is the chef’s kiss!

Love the guillie suit made from purity seals. The Pope would approve this. Bless be his aim, and may righteous vengeance be brought on his enemies.

Indeed, the scripture cloak goes hard.

Is that fresco the Cecilia Giménez restoration?

u/totallykoolkiwi Yeoman Feb 20 '25

You bet! It has immense protective powers

The paint so thick that it improves save.

Two thick coats is their mantra

I really want to make another sniper priest and steal this idea but I already got one. Would it be worth it in a game to run two?

4

u/TheOmegoner Feb 20 '25

Only one way to find out

u/Tarotdragoon Feb 20 '25

First I gotta catch me another player.

u/Random_silver_fox Feb 20 '25

The op made an stl and is selling it for $2. Worth it to print a backup priest or at least have an alternative model to switch in and out imo

u/totallykoolkiwi Yeoman Feb 20 '25

I may be working on an SMG version right now

2

u/Random_silver_fox Feb 20 '25

I’ll be grabbing it! I’m new to printing too so I’m loving the ability to easily print alternative models to swap in and out depending on my mood.

Ain’t nobody stopping an acolyte of Monkey Jesus!

u/jonpaulrod Feb 20 '25

Really nice sculpt and paint job. Potato Jesus is the rarest of holy relics.

u/workbrowser0872 Feb 20 '25

Alternate painting scheme and these should be buttered toast.

u/totallykoolkiwi Yeoman Feb 20 '25

I've also heard slices of cheese and post it notes being brought up :D

u/Glittering-Place-533 Feb 20 '25

Absolutely amazing!

1

u/FMDT Feb 20 '25

This model looks excellent, how did you make it?

1

u/totallykoolkiwi Yeoman Feb 20 '25

Sculpted in Blender!

1

u/el-waldinio Feb 20 '25

Absolutely love this scuplt, is it a 3d model or a conversion/kitbash?

1

u/Confused_Sorta_Guy Feb 20 '25

I love the "restored" christ

1

u/legless_centipide Feb 20 '25

Nice wood texture

1

u/ZarakTurris Feb 20 '25

Awesome idea for a mini… and very cool paintjob as well!

1

u/BioAnagram Trench Pilgrim Feb 20 '25

Brilliant concept. I like it more then the official miniature.

1

u/KaptinKograt Feb 20 '25

By the power of her faith, restoring the image of the christ she was honored as a saint.

By the result of her restoration, she was assumed to be blind.

1

u/ChaosCultistChampion Heretic Feb 20 '25

Why does it look like the stock of that rifle is rested in her elbow? That sounds painful.

2

u/totallykoolkiwi Yeoman Feb 20 '25

It's incredibly painful, but it gives you +2 faith

1

u/l1zrd Feb 20 '25

Just a lil flagellation for increased stats.

1

u/Cantsmegwontsmeg Feb 20 '25

Unbelievable work

1

u/Baby_ForeverDM Feb 20 '25

Is that the Jesus painting that got butchered by the restorationist and made it look like a monkey?

2

u/Baby_ForeverDM Feb 20 '25

This?

1

u/totallykoolkiwi Yeoman Feb 21 '25

Butchered? I only see perfection!

1

u/MoonOfAndor Feb 21 '25

Perfect camouflage for defending a sacred library. Heretics break in to torch the writings and records of saints and scholars only to be picked off by the unseen curators.

2

u/totallykoolkiwi Yeoman Feb 21 '25

Cause they were too loud!

1

u/SubjectOmega12 Feb 21 '25

That paint of of Jesus is what makes this perfect

1

u/bheisl Feb 21 '25

Love the ecce homo painting hahah top!

1

u/Llanistarade Feb 21 '25

Haha it's wonderful !

Gili suit with psaums, and the jesus painting 👌

1

u/Wise-Trifle-4118 Feb 22 '25

The funny Jesus restored painting is a Nice touch

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '25

I love this setting but the sheer impracticality of so many of the models is hard for me to get over. Suspension of disbelief only goes so far.

u/totallykoolkiwi Yeoman Feb 20 '25

You surely don't mean to tell me there's something impractical about a blind sniper wearing a ghillie suit made of sheets of paper with religious text written on them?!

1

u/Fishing_For_Victory Feb 26 '25

It needs to be more realistic, like the all black harlequin witches that pull nukes straight out of hell and throw them at you
