TYPES OF THE VBCW (12) - ANGLICAN EXORCIST

While "magick", supernatural forces and "the power of the occult" have yet to feature in the Hereford1938 VBCW campaign, the "Types of the VBCW" thread could not pass by a characteristic Anglican "Exorcist" - in campaign clerical garb, army trenchcoat and 28mm :

Should Aleister Crowley ("the wickedest man in the world") ever take up residence in a remote and abandoned country house in Herefordshire, or the sinister black clad brethren of the "Cult of Arrowsmith" seek to dabble in the "dark arts", the Anglicans will no doubt be well prepared....

In the interim, this figure would make a useful "No.2" to an Anglican army commander, or an easily identifiable forward observer ("Spotter") for a "Big Gun" on a VBCW battlefield!

Notes:

(1). Aleister Crowley's (1875 - 1947) wiki entry is HERE

(2). The Artizan Exorcist would also make a useful officer for a unit of similarly posed OOP Citadel Vicars, of which at least one variant also had a "raised crucifix" in hand. See HERE
