Rare do things “shock” me especially when it comes to miniatures and artwork BUT in the case of Trench Crusade, none can hold a demonic candle to this alternate world.
When’s the last time you were honestly shocked by a miniature? Like, mouth-wide-open, double-take shocked? Well, buckle in, folks, because Trench Crusade just casually dropped the grossest (and most utterly brilliant) models I’ve ever seen. Seriously, you’ll need a strong stomach and maybe a barf bag, or, at least, some popcorn.
In my latest video, I examine every single unit: nuns with permanent scoliosis from their brutal armor, blind sniper priests somehow hitting their mark with *faith alone,* and flesh shields (yep, you read that correctly). And I’m not even scratching the surface of nonsense like maggot-covered knights and bow-armed horrors that would make even Great Unclean Ones say, “Uh, I’m good, thanks.”
Every unit? Unsettling. Every sculpt? Masterful madness. If loving this blasphemous, blood-soaked game is wrong, then Khorne help me, I don’t want to be right.
Curious? Grossed out? Or ready to grab your paintbrush for that competition with a whopping $10k prize pool? No matter your faction (sniper nuns for me), you NEED to see Trench Crusade. Watch me share my raw reactions, shouted expletives, and occasional gag of awe.
