Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Maths Rocks,
October see's Heroes Infinite bring something that fans of theirs have been requesting for a long time, the Daughters of the Crucible:Guns and Rosaries. Sculpted to bring out the very best of these Mexican themed Daughters of Combat (although we are surprised that these weren't the November Mini's.)
Each looks delightfully dark and brings the ultimate of beauty against the beastliness of a high cost warfare. Each piece of this set has been cleverly designed, whether you're looking at the multipiece scenery to build either a set for a Western themed game in particular something supernatural such as Deadlands. But you're here to see the mini's so lets get to it.
As a huge fan of games like Necromunda, I personally would be getting this set as something to modify for the Escher Gang although I can see you also using them to help fill out your Sisters of Battle line, and with 11th looking set to being set for being a speed game (with the vehicles, I wouldn't be surprised to see a set of Sisters on bikes. To the left you see the charming as well as deadly Sister "Duenda" Ducinea. A touch of Flamenco with the dark arts of a deadly dance, which you can easily imagine her spinning, twirling and unleashing hell with her gun and a quick death due to the daggered fan.
In addition to this we have the almost angelic Sister "Gloria" Altagracia who is a miniature who exudes a calmness in the heat of war that really does feel like she would belong on a Warhammer Battlefield as a sainted sister. We love how she is raised into the air, has the beautiful scripted ribbon and of course bring her own guns to the war almost as if death by her own hand is absolution for the wicked.
Finally, before we remind you of the various tiers and costs, we wanted to draw your attention toother STL's within the pack. Not only do you have the delightful miniatures that you can see in Heroes Infinites video at the top of this post, are great bases, which whilst designed for this range, would make great alternate bases for any number of miniatures and of course brings to the table, a huge range of scenery that would really help set the table.
As usual we wanted to also remind you of the other tiers and their cost so you can make your choice if these miniatures have tickled your fancy.
As usual there are three price tiers and this is what you get under the Leader Tier ($10)
9-10 Heroes
3 Dynamic Troopers
1 Epic Centerpiece
14+ Scenic Bases
2 Monsters
Whereas if you take out the Overlord Tier ($16) you will get in addition to the above:
Additional 15-20 new Troopers to create 5 different units
Exclusive alternative versions of Heroes and Monsters
Exclusive additional models for the Heroes Infinite Overlords,
such as Mounted Heroes, Monsters, and more.
And on top of this, you ALSO get 40+ models:
Additional 30-35 new Troopers to expand 6 existing units
Exclusive alternative versions of Heroes and Monsters
Exclusive additional models such as Mini Dioramas and more.
BONUS: Get special discounts up to 71% off past collections (until end of month)
And of course there is the centrepiece for this set, the Battle Herse with our favourite being the Super Heavy Battlehearse that would be a great item to lead the charge in place of any number of the Sisters or Battle tanks.
All in we hope you'll love these as much as we do. The paint scheme we think is pretty cool and has definitely given us some idea's for something a little different for some of our own troops. Can't wait to see what others do with them.
As promised, these are the two blood options that we use when painting our miniatures, a fresh blood effect and a dry blood effect. Army Painter has this to say about them:

Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Math Rocks,
We've had an update from the Trench Crusade Team and couldn't wait to bring it all to you. Whether its where to find them at Spiel Essen, get the results of your Operation Leviathan battles in, catch up with their latest Miniature Designer, Israel Gonzalez, see some new lore and of course learn about where to get the Spanish Edition of Trench Crusade. Here's what they had to say:
Operation Leviathan:
Operation Leviathan is a worldwide campaign for Trench Crusade, which will run from September 7th to October 19th 2026.
You can take part from anywhere in the world, and the results of Operation Leviathan will have real, irreversible consequences on the world of Trench Crusade…
Next month, Trench Crusade will be at Spiel Essen 2026, from October 22-25! We’ll be in Hall 1 on booth 1E211 with Archon Studio. You’ll be able to play a demo of the game, and get your hands on our minis and merch.
And most exciting of all, you’ll be able to check out the amazing entries for the Crimson Chalice painting competition! There have already been over 100 entries registered via the Crimson Chalice page, and we can’t wait to see them in person.
If you’re attending Spiel Essen this year, drop by and say hi to the team!
Israel Gonzalez joins the crusade!
We’re delighted to welcome Israel Gonzalez to the Trench Crusade team as our Head of Miniatures!
With over 13 years spent at Games Workshop, Israel has worked on some of the most iconic ranges, armies and game systems in wargaming.
He’s also a true hobby enthusiast who not only enjoys doing his own conversions, painting and wargaming with friends, but has also won Gold in some of the main international miniatures art competitions, including World Model Expo!
He’s now bringing his wealth of experience to Trench Crusade, leading our Miniatures Department in model design and the development of new ranges.
We asked him for a few words, and here is what he had to say:
“I feel honoured to be entrusted with making models that do justice to this incredible universe and lore! Getting to work with some of the living legends of the industry, the people I used to read about in magazines as a kid, is just amazing. Everyone is super talented, and I can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on!”
The Year of Broken Trinity saw total war unleashed upon the Levant, and though the Faithful were able to stave off disaster, it was only at terrible cost. Holding the Levant was critical to the world’s survival, and understanding that it was wiser to fight Hell far from their own shores, the Papal States spent years constructing an immense convoy fleet and assembling vast stockpiles of war materials.
The convoy launched amid great ceremony, and its flagship, Immacolata, was captained by the Supreme Pontiff, Pope Leo XIII, himself aided by his Communicant bodyguard, May-He-Never-Know-The-Touch-Of-Neither-Blade-Nor-Bullet. The sheer scale of the resupply efforts had not gone unnoticed, however, and no sooner had the convoy set sail than it came under attack from the Heretic wolfpacks. Under Leo XIII’s bold command, the convoy successfully fought its way eastwards, fending off every attack until passing the Cyprian Gate.
Thus far, raids had come from surface ships, but scores of Heretic submarines lay in wait just off the Alexandretta coastline. Hundreds of hag-torpedoes struck the convoy, sinking dozens of ships in the first moments. Yet more followed and the slaughter was unimaginable. Within the hour, every vessel in the fleet had been sunk or crippled, with the survivors gunned down as they clung to the burning wreckage. Immacolata was captured by Naval Raiders and the Pope taken prisoner aboard the submarine Livyatan. The shattered remains of the Papal fleet washed up along the northern coast around Alexandretta, creating a graveyard of wrecked ships that became known as the Carrion Coast.
After three days and three nights, the crippled Livyatan surfaced north of Alexandretta at the Pillar of Jonah, an abandoned airship lighthouse of the Aeronautica Pontificia. Just before it sank to its final doom, a gigantic figure disembarked, clad in the blood-soaked remains of papal vestments stitched together in a crude cassock. He bore a colossal recoilless anti-submarine gun ripped from the deck of the Livyatan across one broad shoulder and marched through the surge tide of wrecks to the shore, for this was May-He-Never-Know-The-Touch-Of-Neither-Blade-Nor-Bullet, the only survivor of the Immacolata. His teeth were red with holy blood, for he had, under instructions from Leo XIII, devoured his master to prevent the heretics from torturing him or, worse, twisting him to the cause of evil. The holy flesh of the Pope melded with the divine blood of the Communicant to fuse them into a singular being of immense power and schizophrenic piety, a being who now went by the name Never-Know. He had fought his way free of captivity and slaughtered the crew of Livyatan, his mind afire with the clamour of the heavenly choir and the all too mortal thoughts of the consumed Pope.
Never-Know climbed the Pillar of Jonah and repaired its beacon, before beginning his lonely vigil watching over the sacred remains of his lost fleet. Having already elected a new Pope, the Holy Curia no longer considered Leo XIII the Supreme Pontiff, but as his essence lived on in the flesh of a sacred Communicant they were unable to completely forsake what Never-Know had become. So the Aeronautica Pontificia sends regular airships laden with the supplies needed to keep the lighthouse functional as well as the meagre necessities required to maintain the Communicant’s body. Though nearly a decade has passed since the destruction of the supply fleet, Never-Know still vigorously defends the beacon, using ordnance provided by the Papal States to lace the lands around his lighthouse with lethal traps and his modified anti-materiel rifle to destroy any who approach without the proper obeisances and catechisms.
Trench Crusade has one of the most recognisable visual identities in miniature gaming. Mud-soaked uniforms. Weathered steel. Equipment stained by blood. Heraldry worn by endless war.
Recreating that atmosphere can be intimidating. Crusade Se7ens removes the uncertainty with official colour schemes developed alongside the Trench Crusade team. Every palette has been carefully curated to capture the character of the setting while making it easier to achieve authentic results from your very first miniature.
Spanish-speakers, your time has come! We’re teaming up with Spanish distributor Miniaturama to translate all Trench Crusade products into Spanish. If you’re a Spanish retailer and would like to stock Trench Crusade products, you can reach out to Miniaturama by email at info@mtmdist.com
You can already find Spanish products for sale and pre-order on www.goblintrader.es
¡Y a todos nuestros jugadores españoles, bienvenidos a las trincheras!
Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Rocks,
Prepare thyselves today is the last chance to pre-order with the bonus the mega Bundle for Menoth's Covenant of the Flame (released 27th October), for Warmachine from Steamforged Games, with so many boxes, its going to be tough to pick which is your favourite. There's also news for next weeks update and of course don't forget to check out the events near you. Here's what they had to say:
Answer the Lawgiver’s call – Menoth army bundles end today
Not only does the bundle get you the Command Set, the Revenger warjack set, the Crusader warjack set, and all three army boxes (shipped as they release), it also gets you a set of exclusive Four Gifts cards in the Classic Edition colourway that's only available with bundle pre-orders direct from our store, plus a free set of heavy and light warjack options to give you even more ways to customise your army.
Pre-orders for the direct bundle end today (September 30). If you're planning to pick up the army, this is your sign. Embrace salvation.
Your local game stores may still have the bundle available after today, plus they have their own exclusive variant of the Four Gifts cards! (It's up to the individual stores how they distribute those cards, so make sure you check in with them before ordering.)
Here's a quick rundown of what's included:
Defenders of the Flame command set
The Covenant of the Flame gets its first taste of battle with Defenders of the Flame, a ~30-point Command Starter led by Feora and packed with everything you need to begin your march in Menoth’s name.
Leader of the Covenant of the Flame, Feora is a herald of a new era for her people, rooted in the purity of the past. Conflagration follows in her wake as she steps into the fray as a living engine of destruction.
Releasing alongside the Command Set are the Crusader Heavy Warjack and Revenger Light Warjack, giving you even more holy machinery to bring to the battlefield from day one. The first Four Gifts of Menoth cards also arrive with this release.
Releases October 27, 2026.
Scourge of the Unbeliever army box
Somewhere between righteous fury and absolutely no patience for heretics sits Scourge of the Unbeliever. If Malekus knows one thing for certain, it's that for those that persist in blind heresy and deny Menoth’s embrace, there can be only scouring flames and godless ashes.
This army box contains a fully playable ~50 point army led by pious warcaster Malekus, Word of Truth. Add a hefty dose of holy fire to your Covenant collection. Releases November 24, 2026.
Bastions of Faith army box
When subtlety fails, bring the bastions. Bastions of Faith includes another self-contained ~50-point army, this time led by Stallos, Shield of the Righteous. A traitor-turned-proud defender of the faith, few are as dedicated to the resurrection of the Protectorate as this guy.
Field Bastions of Faith in Command and Skirmish-level games or combine with other army boxes for a fiery 100-point army of your own holy creation. Releases November 24, 2026.
Heralds of Perdition army box
And finally, the Covenant’s march reaches its zenith with Heralds of Perdition the third army box with its own fully playable ~50-point force.
An assassin that pierces the darkness with the light of the Lawgiver, Thyra has long since devoted the ashes of her tragic life to the Flameguard order. Not all who serve Menoth walk in the light, and Thyra ensures no blasphemers can escape into the shadows.
Releases January 19, 2027.
Rules for Heralds of Perdition land today in the free Warmachine app, meaning the gameplay for every model in the bundle is already live for all your army planning needs. We've even been dropping videos on Warmachine socials covering those rules, so if you want less read, you can watch on Facebook or Instagram.
The army bundle ships in waves as the sets release, so you won't need to wait 'til January. Pre-orders for the army bundle close today (September 30). The flame is lit. Will you answer the call?
Extreme Feora has entered the chat
Speaking of Feora, we were BLOWN AWAY by this incredible paintjob:
A variant of the Covenant of the Flame warcaster, Extreme Feora has been painted by the incredibly talented Will (@lika_paints).
Holy Menoth, is this good. And the best part?
You can get your hands on this Extreme Feora sculpt yourself, because she's included in the October pack for Warmachine 3D Tribe subscribers!
Simply subscribe to the Tribe now and you'll receive the STL file tomorrow to have a go at printing, and painting yourself.
Extreme Feora's not the only thing included in the October pack. Head to Warmachine 3D to see what else is heading your way this month.
Coming next week
Protectorate of Menoth might be taking centre stage, but there’s plenty more coming to Warmachine.
Warmachine app — Steamroller update
Along with today's Covenant of the Flame rules drop, today's app release comes with some minor Steamroller updates on painting and conversion guidelines. This includes:
Updated model painting guidelines (for events that already enforce painting requirements)
Updated model conversion policy (to account for conversion parts available through Warmachine 3D)
Adding more specific rules governing new release legality*
Including previously omitted standard text (such as the rules around fielding one or two army lists)
Updating the Calculating Army Value rules to be clearer and account for off-table models (this one does have very mild gameplay implications for how scores are recorded at the end of a game)
*We'll be adding a page to the website in the near future that clearly lists official release dates to help clarify when models become tournament legal
(The downloadable Steamroller PDF will be updated next week to include the above changes, which will be live in the app version from today.)

Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Math Rocks,
We've just had an update from our friends over at Converge Games in regard to their Kickstarter project "The Mad Kings Ire" Here's what they had to say:
Firstly Thank you so much to all of you that have backed, we truly couldn’t have gotten this far without you!
The Mad King’s Ire development continues at a fast pace, we are now in the finishing touches stage and it won’t be long before manufacturing begins, and good news here! If you haven’t already it is not too late to back!
Head to our Pledge Manager on Hive and you still have a chance to back at the Kickstarter discounted price and get all the extra goodies as well! The pledge manager won’t be open forever, so, if you are thinking about it, get over there before the pledge manager closes!
I am pleased to say after hundreds of hours of testing and demos, all content is complete, and every piece of content has been tested and adjusted/nerfed/buffed where needed. We’ve changed the worst offending Ire Cards that would all but guarantee to end your run in failure, and buffed up some of the worst performing skills. There are still a crazy amount of powerful combos of skills and items to discover, and I’m sure there are some that we haven’t even considered. I can’t wait to see all the build ideas you put together during your adventures once we get The Mad King’s Ire to your tables!
This one, we kept in the game. A combo of two Escalations (which make the game harder), and one skill, can mean you’ll be dropping bombs on your foes with regularity. Just make sure it is fully upgraded, or shout a warning to your allies before you blow everything up!
Final Checks Underway
Final proofreading and adjustments are now being finalised, we should have everything complete and ready for the manufacturers by the end of the week!
We are on track with our timeline, we will continue to keep you updated if anything changes!
Rulebook revamp!
We’ve updated the rulebook based on testing and feedback and our amazing graphic designer is busy redesigning the layout to improve the look and readability! I’ll include a link to the new rulebook in the next update!
We’ve added some surprise extras!
Although our Kickstarter didn’t quite hit our £50,000.00 Stretch Goal, we added it anyway! We felt the Game Organiser was far too good quality of life not to include, we want you to be able to get The Mad King’s Ire to the table as often as possible and we don’t want the barrier of a lengthy set up. With the organiser you can be ready to begin your adventures in 2 minutes!
We also added 8 new items to the Twisted Traps expansion - because we could! Including a couple of clockwork pals and some ways to mitigate the danger of the new trap mechanic!
So if you've been putting it off...here's a FINAL reminder...
Backing our campaign will take less than 3 minutes and will get you The Ultimate Dungeon Crawler. A fast paced, quick to set up and play, character building adventure like no other!
We put our hearts and souls into creating and designing The Mad King’s Ire - and we want you to know that your support is what fuels our fire and makes this community possible. We hope you’ll choose to continue supporting us today, and experience not only our amazing game, but join our amazing community at Converge Games.
Finally, a massive shoutout to all our amazing backers!
Thank you all again for following us for so long and supporting us during our launch. We can't wait to get Shattered Destinies - The Mad King’s Ire to your doors and on your tables, it won’t be long now!
You can also see our interview with Glenn Phillpot here and learn a little more about him and Converge Games.
