Starting from my very humble MOC of a first Priest of Sigmar, it wa about time I upgraded this part of my project.
I was heavily inspired by Warhammer Odyssey, failure of a mobile game but triumph in my view of Warhammer esthetics.
I feel my MOC are still partial and incomplete, in particular not dense and detailed enough. Feels like I could work on a total of about of +/- 10 different priests. Yet I find them original, innovative, and cute enough already to share them with you. Sigmar knows these things take time, patience, and most importantly time and quiet.
To note, in a moment in which I can basically only afford focusing on minifig customisation, there is an important innovation I will be using more and more often from now on: 3d printing! In particular the one of the armors, the strap book and the shields in these models.

| This minifig in particular is a bit the gem of the crown for several reasons. First, the level of details of the design; the headband, which took me no little time to finetune; finally there is a nice trick in the lower part, as the legs are designed this time in the traditional "skirt" part (slope 3678) to give a twist to it! Second and not least, the history behind the flaming hammer: the fix of this old idea of mine came up following a nice brainstorm session with the amazing @amorphousbricks. I got my hammer, he got his! I seemed to have seen it somewhere already on line, isn't it? |
UPDATE February 2026
Not sure I am convinced by the rendering of Odyssey-inspired shield!
 |
| Not sure I am fully satisfied with the rendition of this shield. It seems stylistically far from both the rest of the minifigure and the original. |
Finally, some sketches hinting at what should hopefully come next:
