Prev Has The Right Of It - The Exorcist Is Such A Beautiful Kit. But, Don't Worry, If You Don't Want

Prev has the right of it - the Exorcist is such a beautiful kit. But, don't worry, if you don't want to use it for your turbo-catholic graven-image-armoured fanatics, other flavours of villain are available! I went with the classic "mad scientist playing his organ for the boss fight" variant.

Red gloved hands for no symbolism, robotic tendrils for playing unholy chords. I added some skulls and candles, but mostly the Exorcist is already This Extra. Reliquaries line the flanks. Filigree twirls in any unattended corners. Rocket launch vents sit below ancient oak-panelling. The organist's pit is ringed by a rail many of us will recognise from church altars.

I also added a little dude wired into in the back to tend the flowers and pump the bellows.

The centerpiece of the Choir of St Barbara's, christened "Gallatea."

I reckon the name's accurate: if you haven't fallen in love with this beast by halfway in, you're wasting your life. And oh, she is beautiful. The Exorcist was the highlight of the old range and this new one is a work of art.

There's so much going on here: the pipe organ, the rockets, so many icons, the keyboard, and even fresh-cut flowers on the altar. That tread with the rose and crossed swords? Only one on the whole vehicle.

I know the Brits get real touchy about Warhammer being THEIRS AND THEIRS ALONE, but the Battle Hymn of the Republic makes such a great anthem. It's an abolitionist creation, but you'll be hard pressed to find a holy war hymn that sounds better on the pipe organ. If we're driving a mobile pipe organ into battle(typically they are a part of the architecture), we're not taking half measures.

The box art is ridiculous. Why bury all those details in flat black?

I left off the cherubs and Holy Vuvuzela. I needed parts for my original Exorcist rebuild and brother, they were made to snap off in transit.

Look at this cockpit:

That keyboard! The hands in position to hit a chord! Who knows what those hatches in the deck are for?

I just want to point out another detail here: those roses below the icons. When 'Eavy Metal was putting this together for the box art, they painted over them to make them part of the bas relief. They are cowards and have undersold some details that serve the High Church/brutal war machine dichotomy that defines the Sisters.

I am dying on this hill and you can bury me with my loupes.
