MiniWarGamer Dave teams with Wargames Atlantic for the Trench Missionaries, a faith-driven warband ready to storm Trench Crusade.
The trenches are about to get a whole lot holier. MiniWarGamer Dave has teamed up with Wargames Atlantic to bring the Trench Missionaries to the tabletop, a faith-fueled warband dropping right in time for Halloween.
Designed to fit seamlessly into the Trench Crusade setting, these Mormon-inspired warriors mix relics, rifles, and plenty of grim devotion for a kit that’s equal parts characterful and terrifying.
What Are the Trench Missionaries?
Think of the Trench Missionaries as the zealots of the battlefield. They’re a narrative-driven force designed to proxy as New Antioch within the world of Trench Crusade. Each model looks like they’ve marched straight out of a nightmare no man’s land, trench coats flapping, relics clutched tight, and rifles at the ready.

The set delivers seven 32mm miniatures across three unique frames, each sculpted with its own role to play:
- Trench Bishop – A leader carrying faith like a loaded weapon.
- High Priest – The spiritual firebrand of the unit.
- Patriarch – Stoic, commanding, and brimming with authority.
- Trench Warden – Guardian of order and discipline in the ranks.
- Trench Deacon – Support piece with presence and resolve.
- Trench Missionary – Faith-driven foot soldier bringing the doctrine to the front.
- Sentinel – The watchful protector with a rifle ready for war.
Bases aren’t included, so hobbyists can go wild with custom groundwork: muddy trenches, blasted ruins, or cracked cobblestone streets.
Just keep in mind, the Trench Missionaries are in tooling now, with an estimated release date around Halloween. Pre-orders are already live, so you can reserve yours now!
Who’s Behind the Project?
The concept and design come straight from Dave Nordquist (better known as MiniWarGamer Dave from MiniWarGaming.com), with sculpting by Thieu Duong and painting by Ted Bergen. That pedigree alone makes the project worth watching.
What’s Next?
MiniWarGaming has promised more lore, tactics, and army lists for the Trench Missionaries. That means these models won’t just look good, they’ll have full support in the Trench Crusade setting. Expect write-ups that flesh out their role in the larger conflict and show exactly how these fanatics carve their place in battle.
Final Thoughts
The Trench Missionaries hit the sweet spot between fresh design and battlefield utility. With MiniWarGamer Dave’s vision paired with Wargames Atlantic’s plastic production, you’re looking at a set that’s as fun to paint as it is to play.
Whether you’re building a full Trench Crusade force or just want a squad of faith-driven oddballs for your display case, this Halloween release deserves a spot on your radar.
