The STL Trenches

This is a miniature for Trench Crusade, my take on the hero of the Pilgrim faction - Communicant.

Communicant is a blind warrior who has learned the divine essence, which is why his body has become deformed and grown to enormous sizes, gaining the ability to regenerate. The selection and creation of communicants is very difficult, so there are few of them on the battlefield, and each of their appearances brings terror to their opponents.

My version is about half a head taller than the original, so if it is important to match it, you can reduce it by 10% before printing. I added a pillory with a heretical wretched on the back.

UPD (03.09.25): Two images were replaced and one file was edited, please download both archives (with and without supports) again.

Apostates are a gathering of heretics and oathbreakers, cannon fodder for any war.
There are five fighters in the squad. The legs, torso, heads and arms with weapons are separate. Moreover, by popular demand I made weapons for both Trench Crusade and our favourite grimdark universe with bolt pistols, chainswords, etc. Four out of five models have alternative weapons, and the machine gunner is generally universal and will come in handy here and there. The folder with the first model contains an alternative helmet of a more futuristic look.
There are 2 versions of the files at once: unsupported and pre-supported.

Designed primarily for Trench Crusade, but at the same time the set includes weapons that make this lady a worthy companion for an inquisitor from a grimdark future. She is the size of the official Kickstarter model, for other purposes, I think it needs to be reduced to 92-95% scale.

UPD (06.01.2025): Many rightly pointed out that the hammer is two-handed and taking it with a shield is not quite right. Therefore, a hand with a regular knife and a sword was added, as well as a bolt pistol and a regular backpack for the grimdark future version.

In my opinion the original miniatures for New Antioch are the best among all the factions (except for the pilgrim posterboys, but it's hard to compete there :) Guys in cloaks and helmets, organized and disciplined are 100% my choice. They even have heavy infantry, but... I don't like the original models of this infantry. The concept is good, but their splayed arms, lack of groin, tiny legs that will not withstand such a mass of armour. So I decided to refine it a little. Also an Antioch lieutenant can buy machine armour, but he still does not have a proper miniature. Therefore, the choice was made in favor of creating a named hero in machine armour.

The design of the chest armour remained the same. The legs, especially their lower part, enlarged and thickened. This will make it much easier for him to move. And there are two heads to choose (helmet of an infantry lieutenant/helmet of a heavy mechanized infantryman).

I don’t know why such a killing machine needs a shotgun or a dagger, so I made it with a hammer/sword and a siege shield. Hands, heads, engine, upper part of the shoulder pads are replaceable for ease of painting. The model is for a 32 mm base.

I decided to listen to the many requests and release a warrior in mecharmor with a ranged weapon (machine gun), without the lieutenant's tinsel on his armor (and a tactical stone, hehe). The heads and arms of both sets should be interchangeable.

No Description.

The usual infantry models for Trench Crusade. The models are mostly one-piece.
If you don't like TC, this squad can always be used as regular cultists or, what suits them better, as zealots from the inquisitor's retinue.

This is a small group of pilgrims for Trench Crusade.
