The Che

On the basis of a 54 mm Figone miniature called "Grey Mage" I transformed that mage into a typical Imperial Warhammer 40K preacher . The changes are both important and scarce. - The pointy hat becomes a beret. - The stick exchanges emblem - A skull takes place of the leaf clasp. The holes in the cloak are the origin of the transformation. The figurine had so many "air bubble" holes that they made ​​me think of bullet hits. Bullet hits on a mage?? This idea radically changed the feeling of the figure and its history. Very quickly the resemblance with Che Guevara appeared hence the name "Che." A revolutionary in the world of 40K seemed such a shift that I made want to bring it to life. http://dt-studio-miniatures.over-blog.com/article-le-tche-115253470.html **** Sur la base d'une figurine 54 mm Figone appelee "Mage Gris", j'ai transforme ce mage en precheur imperial typique de Warhammer 40000. Les changements sont a la fois importants et peu nombreux. - le chapeau pointu devient un beret - le baton change d'embleme - un crane prend la place du fermoir en forme de feuille. Les trous dans la cape sont a l'origine de la transformation. La figurine etant "bullee" a ce niveau a un tel point que cela m'a fait penser a des impacts de balles. Des impacts de balles sur un mage?? Donc changement radical d'ambiance de la figurine et de son histoire. Tres vite la ressemblance avec Che Gevara est apparue d'ou son nom "Le Che". Un revolutionnaire dans le monde de 40000 m'a paru d'un tel decalage qu'il fallait que je le fasse. http://dt-studio-miniatures.over-blog.com/article-le-tche-115253470.html

While I admire this figure, and the technical ability is well beyond my own, I feel more could be done to bring the fantasy mage into the world of 40K. A less Fantasy sword (the classic chainsword) and some purity seals, relics, litanies and Aquila's would make this really part of the fabric of 40k. At the moment, looking at it, I wouldn't know it was 40k preacher, and I could easily see it also being the great basis of a 54mm sanctioned psycher.
