You know, with a name like 'Trenchers' and a range that's covered in big, bolted-on crosses, it's almost like the most recent couple of Anvil Industry releases might be suitable for Trench Crusade or something, too. Just thinking out loud here! 🤪

Check out the complete range of Anvil Industry resin cast miniatures, including packs of STLs from the Digital Forge, as well as a print-on-demand service if you don't have a 3D printer at home! anvilindustry.co.uk/?affiliate=sonicsledgehammer The affiliate link nets me a few wee pennies from each purchase at no cost to you.

I've said a couple times before, but when something isn't going right on a miniature, it's not always a good idea to completely bin the thing before you've seen it through. The work isn't finished until the very last brushstroke, and you'd be surprised by how much of a difference just a few last adjustments can make to even the most dire paint job. Today's video is a pretty good example of taking a breath and examining the tools you've got to adjust something on the fly!
