Am I Still an Artist if I Haven’t Drawn in 25 Years? You know me for my love of all things grimdark and chaotic, but this time the rabbit hole led me through the trenches in a different direction. I am INSPIRED by Trench Crusade and its creators; so much so, I dusted off a 25-year-old skill, mixed in my missionary past, and created something. This is the story of how the Trench Missionaries came to be. What follows is equal parts hobby confession and creative comeback as I sketch an entire fan faction that fits both the setting and my story.

Special thanks to Wargames Atlantic for collaborating with me to create the Trench Missionaries. You can order your box from Wargames Atlantic directly via the link below:

Along the way, I chat with Tuomas Pirinen and James Sherriff in London, and wrestle with the kind of hobby nerves we’ve all felt when showing our work to people we respect. The payoff is a hard plastic sprue and a community license that lets these models hit the tabletop as New Antioch proxies. If you like narrative flavor with your mud and bayonets, this one’s for you.
