For my first post of the challenge I have completed some Trench Pilgrims for Trench Crusade. I had a lot of fun kit bashing these in the summer. So much so that I have made way more than I will ever need for the game. The silly helmets and some other bits are 3D printed, the majority of the body's are from Wargames Atlantic WW1 French Infantry sprue and some odd bits and bobs from other sprues.
They have been sat on my painting desk for several months now and the challenge has given me the impetus to get them painted. I bought a horizon blue paint especially for them, but I've given them several washes to give them that grimy look and based them on a reddish brown base to represent the hellscape they are fighting on.
Nice and gritty looking crusaders, well done.
ReplyDeleteVery grim and very dark! Great work Matt.
ReplyDeleteVery atmospheric - can imagine them in a WW1 style trench!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure if this was a cone head army or a branch of the Klan
ReplyDeleteLove the creative kitbashing. Always satisfying to make something unique
Nice work Matt, welcome to Challenge XVI
ReplyDeleteWelcome Matt! Very nice first entry
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Matt! Trench Crusade has really caught on with some. Very evocative models and well painted. Great work!
ReplyDeleteThey look great Matt! I'm very tempted by Trench Crusade...
ReplyDeleteYou are such a butterfly 😆
DeleteTrench crusade has a very tempting esthetic - grim, dirty and doomed - perfect for these times. You nailed the look on these figures.
