Has Uncle Pat ever said who Nemesis sounds like? I know he's fond of putting voices to his characters (usually Robert Mitchum's).
AIEEEEEE! It's the...THING from the HELL PLANET!

I've just listened to a sample of the Nemesis audiobook.  Torquemada sounds pretty good when he's shouting in righteous indignation.  Nemesis only says 'credo' in the sample- kind of a well-spoken but forceful posh lad. It's fine, but I doubt I'll be buying the audiobook.

Now you've made me think of Hugh Laurie in Blackadder Goes Forth ("Permission to shout hurrah very loudly sir!")

Possibly a bit more Lord Flashheart.

I would have gone with Les Dennis doing his Mavis voice.

This was used in part for the video XX Nemesis - "Deathbringer" - "Nemesis The Warlock"

It's an amazing bit of work.  I'd only ever seen it as the video for that goth song, but I really like the original soundtrack and dialogue. And now I have a third way to pronounce Satanus - SayTANus, rather than SAYtanus or SahTANus. 

Some of it is fairly clearly taking place on someone's kitchen table, but still, it really captures the spirit of Kev O'Neill at his maddest.

A different, live action version of our favourite warlock also pops up briefly in the video for Shriekback's Nemesis.

I remember that one - good tune too (and quoted once by Conrad on Space Spinner 2000 by way of introducing the strip). Was that Nemesis mask Tony Luke's work as well? It does look a tad like the one he provided for those possibly-ill-advised Nemesis photo stories.

If I remember correctly the stop motion was by Pat's mate Tony Luke

It's Tony Luke alright - see maryanddavid's link above. I always liked his Anderson strips. He was clearly more a sculptor than an illustrator but I really liked the crazy landscapes he created.
