We offer a 3D resin printing service for all miniatures as well. If you own the STL license you can send to us for commission printing of any miniatures. As of now this is the legal way to get official Trench Crusade miniatures created by Factory Fortress. However, as the game encourages proxies, kit bashing, and using any models you may find. We will have models available for sale that we have created, or we have a commercial license to print and sell from the creator. You can email us at: print@trenchcrusademiniatures.com to inquiry about projects you're interested in.
In addition we are working on our very own Warband that we will have on Kickstarter soon. Click here to see our progress and check back often.
Trench Crusade Miniatures and Models: The Game
Trench Crusade is a skirmish-scale tabletop miniatures game that will plunge players deep into a horrifying alternate timeline. During the Crusades a heretical band of Templars dared defy the Almighty and, casting aside their sacred vows, unleashed the forces of Hell upon the Earth. Over 800 years later, in the Year of Our Lord 1914, this brutal, merciless war between the forces of Heaven and Hell rages on. This is not just a fight for survival, but a cataclysmic struggle that will decide the very fate of humanity's soul.
“ Long ago, during the first crusade, a heretical band of templars dared defy the Almighty. Casting aside their sacred vows, they opened a gate of Hell at the very heart of Jerusalem. Out poured the Legions of the Damned, and the world burned. ”
This is hell on earth.

Trench Crusade is a tabletop wargame set in a blasphemously alternate WW1 era. Trench Crusade is created by artist Mike Franchina (Diablo 2r/3/4, Path of Exile 2, Magic: The Gathering) with rules by acclaimed game designer Tuomas Pirinen (Mordheim, Warhammer 6th edition) and brought to life by James Sherriff (28 mag, Ian Miller's Grim Tarock) and some of the greatest creative talents in wargaming. |

Warbands You use trench crusade miniatures to fight battles on a tabletop. Players take command of the forces of heaven and hell, leading skirmish size warbands in daring assaults and devious counter operations on the fringes of the meat grinder that is the frontline. For each of the 6 factions you’ll be able to select from a roster of mortal and immortal troops, as well as truly “blessed” beings that fall somewhere in between. |

Trench Crusade Lore
During the First Crusade, the armies of the Church captured the Holy City. Under the most holy of temples, the Knights Templar discovered secret vaults and, within them, an ancient demonic artefact. The Templars, blinded by greed and with weakness in their hearts, fell to their knees. They had found a new lord.
Seeing the unholy wisdom of which the artefact spoke, they began trafficking with devils and committing all manner of unspeakable rites. This was the First Heresy. The armies of the Church retreated and Jerusalem became a depraved pit where Hell and our mortal plane now bled into one.
For eight centuries the Church has waged its crusade to take back the Holy City. The landscape has been utterly devastated, criss-crossed with thousands of miles of mud, trenches and craters. The crusade is now waged with armies wielding terrifying weaponry, and both sides conjure up supernatural beings of such immense power they are nigh unstoppable. Even with such incalculable might, the armies are at a stalemate.
This is the Trench Crusade.
