This is a sourcing thread not a trade thread., but it appears the best place to ask.

I am looking for nuns, or possibly monks in kneeling or praying poses for use on a Grail Reliquae. I am making a Grail Reliquae out of parts from a screaming bell miniature, it will be a bit larger than usual and will be sized to fit on two 40x40mm bases joined together. A bit deeper than the 9th Age reliquae rules allow, but nevermind that.
Now the front of the miniature will have a pair of monks (flagellants with monk heads) with staves, to account for the 4x S3 attacks the reliquae regenerates. They will be riding on the reliquae itself with will be covered in shields and spiked plates at the front, to account for the impact hits it gets and its reasonably high wounds and toughness value.

I have sourced just about everything except for:

1. Four tonsured heads for the monks riding the reliquae. I thought there would be some, but no. I might resort to sculpting a ring of hair on space marine baldie head. Though that is a last resort, its a simple job for a freehand sculpt but likely beyond me anyway. Tips would be helpfuo though, would liquid green stuff work for 'building up' a tonsure?

2. A kneeling in pray monk or nun figure preferably, or otherwise one in an obvious act of worship.
I have sourced this:

but obtaining one in the UK at a reasonable price is difficult.
If I have to I will buy a set of RAFM Holy Sisters, but I thought I should ask Dakka if someone knows of another source. I would also prefer a kneeling monk or nun anyway, hands raised up or clasped in prayer. It sounds like the sort of miniature that someone somewhere must have made.

As a backstory the Grail Reliquae is a wheeled shrine scaffold topped with either a wooden grail effigy or perhaps a grail shaped brazier. I might have a saints bone in a box with a purity seal on it somewhere on the reliquae, might not. The power of the blessing comes from the devout priest/ess constantly in prayer at the makeshift shrine. I want a taller more elaborate Grail Reliquae that the official kit. I am pretty sure that if GW ever had got around to redoing Brets this would of been high on the list for a new much larger plastic kit, I am still tempted to go the whole hog and mount up a 60x100 base, the screaming bell framework will permit that easily.
In any case my reliquae had few if any knight bones in it. I figure that if a whole grail knight corpse is being carried around the noble family concerned will haver knights ride up and confiscate the body for proper burial in the family vault. So my Grail Reliquae instead empowers and inspires the peasants by being the war platform of a particularly devout common monk or nun transfixed in prayer before a burning grail effigy, with minders bearing more than a passing resemblance to the High Sparrows faith militant (grey robes, staves and grail shaped scars on the forehead).

Besides a large grail shaped brazier on a large scaffold covered with drapery and with monks standing atop is grabbing my attention. I am now wondering why I hadn't thought of doing this years ago.

Can Dakka help me source the pieces needed to put this together.
