Title: Kreikguard's Preacher
Post by: Inquisitor Vale on December 13, 2015, 08:47:43 PM
Who is Kreikguard (Kierkegaard?), and does he still make his Imperial Preacher shown here?

To owners of this model: beware, as you look through the curtains o' nights, of a pudgy young Scot in a shabby Barbour jacket and a balaclava, lurking with felonious intent....

Constable: What did they take?
Victim: O, nothing, just a Warhammer figure!

Forgive my ponderous sense of humour, but it is a lovely miniature. Hats off to the sculptor and the painter in that photo.

Hello Inquisitor Vale,

If indeed you are talking about THIS (http://www.the-conclave.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1195.0) model, then I am afraid it was a (simple) one off conversion, and it has now been transported halfway around the world by its new owner.

I am glad that you like the model so much that you started a thread about it.

If you want to build one for yourself, here is a LINK (http://www.elviejodragon.com/tienda/gaius-gracchus-tribune-121-bc/) to the base model I used, and the thread I linked to above should have details of the construction.

Hello,
Thank you. It is lovely work -- I am sorry, I assumed it was a small run of castings, like the robed figures Barko (?) is planning. I am just starting out so bursting with questions.

Yeah as indicated by Kierkegaard (spelt correctly unlike my original post sorry) it is currently lurking in the far reaches of the back of beyond 12000 miles from the UK.

All painting and modelling credit to Kierkegaard as all I have done is put it on a shelf with the others and I think maybe given it one game appearance (downside to the far side of the world is lack of players).
