I Made Mormon-Inspired Minis for Trench Crusade: Trench Missionaries

From sketchbook to sprue, I unveil the Trench Missionaries I get real about art, fear, and faith-fueled inspiration as I take a pencil to a 25-year rust monster and then carry those sketches all the way to hard plastic. Fresh from a London sit-down with lead sculptor James Sherriff, I open my notebook on my Trench Crusade proxies for New Antioch—the trench bishop, deacons, temple sentinel, patriarch, elders, and missionaries—and the symbols and stories wired into each one. This is part confession, part design diary, and part love letter to the classic multi-part sprue vibe that WarGames Atlantic brought to life. Expect nerves, imposter syndrome, and that moment every hobbyist knows when the idea will not let you sleep until it exists. No stats or spoilers here... just the tale of how a spark turned into seven unique sculpts and a box that feels like coming home. ======== Special thanks to Wargames Atlantic for collaborating with me to create the Trench Missionaries.
