Trench Crusade diorama project

Hey kitbashers,

It’s been a while since I’ve wanted to explore the world of Trench Crusade.
The Karsht Hands were originally meant to live in that setting, but the project naturally shifted into something else.

I couldn’t quite find the right angle back then. Building another full gang would have worked, but I felt the need for something different. After three back-to-back warbands, I wanted to step slightly outside of my comfort zone.

The idea is to build a large trench and create a cinematic moment within it.

At its center stands an immense knight, accompanied by three to four squires. The goal here is to play heavily with scale, to emphasize the presence and weight of this Maximilian-class figure (artwork by Inka Schulz), and to let that contrast carry the scene.

The soldiers are based on Victrix kits, reworked through kitbash to fit the tone of the project. I’ll share more detailed breakdowns once everything is fully assembled.

For now, these are the first sketches and early drafts of the characters.

Let’s see where this goes.

Back to the bits box!
