[Contest Results] The votes are in! Trench Crusade Contest Winners Announced!

Alright guys we're here, it's time to announce the winners of the Trench Crusade Helmet contest! We also have a new surprise prize, a personal favorite pick of Mike Franchina!

------------------------------------------------------------

In 1st place, winning a new BambuLab H2D Printer and 10kgs of filament, is a masterwork of execution and creativity! We were equal parts disgusted and intrigued with this custom Heretic Legion Helmet submission and we feel it's incredibly well deserving of 1st place. A big congratulations to our Grand Prize winner!

In 2nd place, winning a new BambuLab H2D Printer and 5kgs of filament, is a hilarious take on the famous Artillery Witch Helmet! One of my favorite parts about this contest is we never know what's going to be submitted or be popular with you guys. It stands as a staunch reminder that these contests are meant to be fun - and it can be rewarded!

In 3rd place, winning a new BambuLab H2D Printer, is another exceptionally designed and executed helmet! The semi-transparent helmet came across so beautifully even we would be challenged to recreate something so amazing.

Now on to the Honorable Mention prizes!

A last minute addition to the prize pool, an order of the Prussian Stosstruppen Warband, was selected as the personal favorite pick of Mike Franchina - the concept artist behind so much of Trench Crusade! As you can tell, he has an exquisite eye for impressive artwork. Quite an honor being the official Factory Fortress pick in this contest!

My (Aaron) personal favorite pick, winning 5kgs of filament, I chose because of it's unique design elements, excellent execution, and stunning photography. I love myself some glowing eyes and detailed rust work!

Jamie's personal favorite pick, winning 5kgs of filament, he chose this piece because it "looks plucked directly from Mike Franchina's art! Between the utterly perfect weathering, the extra armour and cloth, to the decorative plinth, I would display this piece with pride if I was the artist!"

The social media winner, receiving 5kgs of filament, is @byzantine_pirate with his pristine looking Jannissary cosplay! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DO6mO1XkpaP/?igsh=YXN0bG16aHpidmN1
