The GW site is down right now so I can't check, but haven't they taken ministorum priests off the site? I don't seem to recall seeing them last time I was on there. Same with my local store, they don't have any in stock. Outside of ebay and potentially overpriced models, what are some options for IG priests? Are there any fantasy priests that would sort of pull off the look? Any third party models you'd recommend? I'm personally considering using some of my DV cultists, the ones with autoguns wearing full robes if I do some minor conversion work. Pics would be great.

Check the sisters section.

I know, I was confused at first too.

There's a "Missionary with Chainsword" in the Adepta Sororitas section (has a chainsword, holding a book mounted on a cross and has an autogun slung on his back) and a "Preacher with Chainsword" in the Inquisition section (has a chainsword in one hand and holding a holy symbol out in front of him in the other).

Uriah Jacobus, the Sister of Battle unique character, also makes a good Priest model (has a shotgun, holding a banner with a skull top and has a chainsword slung on his back).

Most of them are gone though, they're not too bad on ebay and easy to kit bash with Flaggellents or Men at Arms.

I use the command from bretonnia the plastic men at arms + 40k bits. They wear robes and have lots of character.

And I use sanquinary guard heads.

I recently converted the old Empire Warpriest with hammer to a Ministorum-guy with Eviscerator and it works pretty fine imho.

There is a preacher with chainsword in the inquisition section that fits pretty well, and a mentioned the missionary in the SoB section is nice.

I personally recommend a kitbash of some sort. Depending on the flavor of your army, you can create interesting and unique priests.

Or if you just want a generic look convert up some warrior priests from fantasy, they'll look awesome!
