Urgent Reports!

by Dave Taylor

Sometimes the big guns fall silent and grand conflicts die down to be replaced by limited skirmishes and probing assaults.

This is NOT one of those times.

Here at The Trench Wire HQ, we’ve been inundated by reams of information about upcoming activity all along the front lines. Forces of the Fallen and the Faithful must be ready for major attacks but there are only so many hours in the day to transmit the right details at the right time. Ready yourself, for these are the broad strokes you need to be aware of…

Carcass Front

Our first Narrative Campaign Box is rising from the depths, like the Leviathan in the story it tells. We know you are all excited for it, and it will be on its way to you soon (via pre-orders and local retailers). You will have seen information on the contents in Brook’s recent update HERE, and it looks wonderful. Just know that we have more articles coming over the next few weeks featuring the cover art from the Carcass Front book, painting ideas for your Pilgrims and Heretics, notes from some of the many creative people who worked on the project, information about new Warband variants and STLs, AND our very first Worldwide Campaign – Operation Leviathan (see Jervis’s announcement HERE).

The printed Trench Crusade rulebook

A great deal of love and attention has gone into this rulebook. Wonderful new art and lore, the latest version of the rules (including all of the Annual Rules Reviews), and a brilliant cover by Thomas Elliot. As we get much closer to the release of the book, we’ll have a great rundown of the updates from Brook Close (one of our game designers), AND we’ll take a closer look at the incredibly characterful reworking of the Court of the Seven-Headed Serpent!

The Trench Crusade printed rulebook is up for pre-order now. You can pre-order yours HERE.

All the Digital Information

As a part of our Kickstarter back in late 2024, we promised our backers the digital contents of the Carcass Front campaign for free. Although the campaign has spiraled massively beyond what was originally envisioned, we will still be meeting our promise and providing the digital assets for Carcass Front later this month. More details will be announced once that is ready to transmit.

Also, as we near the release of the physical rulebook later in the year, we’ll be able to provide the updated Digital Rulebook and Warbands documents on our Rules page. This is again in keeping with our promise that the rules for Trench Crusade will always be available for free. Keep an eye out for that release in a couple of month’s time.

And More!

There will also be MUCH more to come as far as art, lore and glorious miniatures. Many glorious miniatures! Make sure you are checking The Trench Wire regularly and you are subscribed to/following our social medias to get all the latest news from Trench Crusade.
