If anything, the blindfold is just an aesthetic because I wasn't sure how to do empty eye sockets:
"These devotees of the Church blind themselves ritually as a devotion to God and use only their faith to strike the enemies of the Church. During the Siege of St. Lux stories were told of a sniper priest killing a target 3 miles away"
Looks neat. Is this an ArtelW sculpt? What would be cool, if you fancy, is some wood grain painted onto the rifle. I've found that it tends to add an eye catching bit of detail.
I haven't looked into Trench Crusade, but I have really become enamored with Turnip28. Yet one more thing to put on the project list.
