An empire flagellant was the natural starting point, but I wanted to give him a bit of an Empire Warrior Priest look so I exchanged his upper torso for one from a Empire state troop wearing a cuirass. Uriah carries a badass: shotgun 24" range, Assault 2 -- an Empire Repeater Handgun, felt like a good choice here.
I asked my wife which head she would like for Uriah, she chose the guy with the brazier on his head -- fiery oratory?
Uriah needs his hands free so I opted for the Flagellant back-banner for the "Banner of Sanctity". A few more sundry items and he's ready for paint.

Nice conversion, can't wait to see it painted. I'm a Tau player currently, though my first army was sisters in 2nd edition. I have a Uriah Jacobus model that has a sawed off Kroot Rifle in place of his stock gun (I cut the original off in 2nd edition when I got it as I believe you could swap out wargear on characters back then and I had given him a bolter for some reason).. Now it looks like he has this huge over/under double barrel shotgun..
Thanks Yancy, he's currently at the top of the painting queue. The sawn-off Kroot Rifle sounds cool too.
