With Trench Crusade (TC) gaining momentum and the community steadily expanding, it felt like the perfect moment to put together something practical for both newcomers and seasoned painters alike. This Trench Primer Vol. 1, prepared for Hollow Crown Miniatures, is meant to be exactly that: a compact but focused guide to approach miniatures, basing and even scenery!

Since discovering TC about a year ago, I have been completely drawn into its lore, to the point that I have dedicated two thirds of my painting time to it. This has also been driven by the fantastic collaboration I had the honor to develop with Hollow Crown Miniatures, with very talented people @infamous_jt_, @varusminiatures ⁠and @aquila_sculpting. The team recently launched a very successful Kickstarter featuring an English-style army officially compatible with the game. Definitely worth checking out their range, available as STL files or high-quality resin casts.

As part of this broader effort, we put together this primer, bringing together several articles that cover different aspects of the hobby. Inside, you will find guides on how to paint a Yeoman, how to create muddy bases using both acrylics and enamels, and even how to build a modular trench system from scratch. I also had the chance to work closely with my brother, the created the fantastic layout of the booklet. 

Whether you are starting your first warband or looking to refine your technique, this primer is intended as a practical companion at the painting desk.
