January 2025: #2 Orphans
🕑 Added 2025-01-23 06:56:15 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
The second January release is available for download. This is a squad of alternative trench pilgrims for the faction of the same name. In view of the fact that the creators of Trench Crusade strongly ask not to repeat the design of their miniatures, I decided to make my own version, namely the order of the Sisters, Orphans.
The main driving force of the Orphans are nuns who have taken the Last Vow. There are almost no men here, and those that are there are lobotomized and castrated, and reduced to the level of cattle and draft animals (sorry guys:).
The movement of Orphans was birthed in the town of Montbéliard, which is located on the southern border of the Duchy of Orleans. These lands have been devastated by the forces of Hell several times, and the beautiful Catholic Cathedral of the Cross was desecrated by the hellish prince, nicknamed the Red Perdition. The massacre, inflicted by the legions, was absolute, the church lands were particularly affected. Only one convent of the Pious Genevieve survived. During the months-long siege, the nuns fought off four assaults, and Abbess Brigitte of Valdor personally slew the hellish champion Deidrich. Brigitte herself was mortally wounded, but before her death she managed to take the Last Vow, taking an oath from the nuns not to lower their swords until Hell was defeated and the head of Red Perdition was burned on the ruins of the Cathedral of the Cross. The domain of this hellish prince was in the Levant, and his castle was the very place where 30 pieces of silver given to Judas for betraying Christ were minted.
After Brigitte's death, the nuns began to call themselves Orphans. Those who took the Orphan vow began to shave their heads as a sign of complete renunciation of their former life and submission to only one cause - war and revenge.
Well, that's about it. On the other hand I think they can be used in some other capacity too. I'd like to say that the Trench Crusade miniatures are quite inventive, and so far I haven't fully felt the setting.
All models are solid except one (I separated it into 2 parts for ease of painting).
Files with supports will be available a little later as usual.
The next release will be at the end of the month. This will be a squad of tough guys fighting for the glory of the Emperor and humanity.
See you soon!

It's the title of a Sabaton song about WW1, about how hard every mile was given to the attackers. I mark Trench Crusade sets with this note.
Wolf of Meguro
Does ‘The Price of a Mile’ have a specific meaning, or is it just a collection name, like Desert Hawks or Oathbreakers?
Zrune lord
