NexusBlock Heretic Trench Walls - Grimdark Sci-Fi Terrain

The NexusBlock Heretic Trench Walls bring grimdark battlefield atmosphere to your tabletop with five intricately detailed resin wall sections, each dripping with occult iconography, skeletal remains, tangled tendrils, runic sigils, hanging banners, and corroded timber frameworks. Every panel arrives as a physical resin piece, supports already removed and surfaces cleaned, ready to assemble and paint straight out of the box.

This set contains 5 individual wall sections, each measuring approximately 27mm tall (38.5mm with scenic top detail) and 62.5mm wide, scaled to complement 28mm to 32mm scale wargaming miniatures. The panels feature raised surface detail including skulls, serpentine growths, occult seals, crossed weapons, and tattered cloth banners, all sculpted by DakkaDakka with the dark aesthetic of a corrupted warfront in mind. The modular design allows hobbyists to arrange the NexusBlock Heretic Trench Walls in flexible configurations to suit any trench line, fortification, or corrupted outpost on the gaming table.

Whether you are building a full tabletop warzone or adding atmospheric scatter terrain to an existing board, these wall sections deliver the visual weight of a heretic stronghold. The physical resin construction captures every fine line of the sculpt with crisp clarity, from the smallest rune carved into the planking to the grasping organic matter crawling across each surface.

Each piece is cast in high quality grey resin and ships ready for priming and painting. Light assembly may be required where scenic elements extend beyond the main panel. Superglue is recommended for any joins.

The following guide will help you bring these corrupted fortifications to life with a grimdark palette suited to a warfront saturated in dark energy and long-forgotten heresy.

1. Prime

• Apply a matt black spray primer across all surfaces to establish a dark base and help subsequent layers grip the resin evenly.
• For a mid-tone start, follow with a zenithal coat of grey spray from directly above to pre-shade the raised detail.

2. Armour Base

• Basecoat the timber planking with a dark brown such as Rhinox Hide or equivalent, working it into the recesses of the wood grain lines.
• Drybrush with a medium brown followed by a pale bone tone to pick out the raised grain and edge detail of the planks.

3. Trim and Details

• Pick out runic carvings and sigil circles with a deep metallic such as Leadbelcher, then wash with Nuln Oil to define the engraved lines.
• Paint banner cloth with a desaturated dark red or worn cloth tone, shaded with a brown wash and lightly highlighted at the folds.

4. Weapons

• Basecoat crossed weapon shafts in dark wood brown, then paint the blade edges in a cold steel tone and wash thoroughly with a dark brown or black ink.
• Add edge highlights of silver to blade tips to suggest worn but still lethal metal.

5. Weathering

• Apply a stippled rust effect to any metal components using orange and brown stippling, concentrating on lower edges and contact points.
• Use a dark green or pale bone to suggest organic growth and mould spreading across the lower panels, blending outward from the sculpted tendrils.
• Wash the entire piece with a dark brown or black oil wash thinned with white spirit, then wipe back raised surfaces to restore contrast.

6. Bases

• If mounting the panels to a base board, texture the ground with sand and fine grit, paint in dark earth tones, and add tufts of dead grass or resin water effects for a blighted trench look.
• A final coat of matt varnish across all surfaces will protect the finished paintwork during handling and gameplay.
