May 2025: #2 Lieutenant in Machine Armour

Added 2025-05-23 12:21:13 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone!
The second May release is available for download. As promised, this time the release is exclusively for Trench Crusade.

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.

Files with supports will be available a little later as usual.
The next release (there will be some squad for grimdark future) will be around May 30th.

See you soon!
