Trench Crusade Style - Tet'o Abyss Hound Puppies

Trench Crusade Style Tet’o Abyss Hound Puppies are grotesque, embryonic horrors bred for the drowned battlefields of a cursed, sea-soaked warzone. These juvenile creatures are part of the wider Disciples of Tet’o collection, a nightmarish, abyssal force inspired by deep-sea monstrosities and forbidden cults dragging ancient gods into the mud and wire of endless trench warfare.

Though small in stature, these Trench Crusade Style Abyss Hound Puppies are anything but harmless. Their swollen, smooth hides sag over malformed limbs, while short, probing tendrils trail beneath featureless heads, constantly tasting the air for prey. Designed as expendable hunters and objective swarmers, they bring unsettling movement and narrative weight to any force built around eldritch biology and relentless attrition. Trench Crusade Style armies benefit greatly from units like these, creatures that feel bred rather than trained.

Each model stands approximately 22mm from feet to eye and comes mounted on a custom base. The set includes 2 distinct Abyss Hound Puppies, ideal for representing small beasts, spawned horrors, objective markers, or narrative encounters within grimdark, industrial battlefields. Their low profile makes them perfect for skittering through trenches, shell holes, and ruined fortifications while larger horrors advance behind them.

These miniatures are especially well suited as proxies for small swarm creatures, summoned entities, or expendable melee beasts in dark sci-fi or occult war games. Their unsettling silhouette and minimal facial detail allow hobbyists to integrate them seamlessly into a wide variety of corrupted or alien forces without clashing with existing aesthetics. Trench Crusade Style collections thrive on atmosphere, and these models deliver it in abundance.

Supplied unpainted and unassembled, these miniatures are perfect for hobbyists who enjoy adding their own basing, corrosion effects, slime, or weathering to push the horror even further.

Quick to paint, unsettling in appearance, and ideal for grimdark or organic horror schemes.

1. Prime

• Prime black or dark grey to keep the recesses deep and ominous.

2. Skin Tones

• Basecoat with desaturated flesh tones, pale greys, or sickly blue-greens.
• Thin layers work best to preserve the soft organic sculpt.

• Wash recesses with diluted purple, green, or sepia tones.
• Focus shading around tendrils, joints, and under the body.

4. Highlights

• Drybrush lightly with off-white or pale flesh to accent surface texture.

5. Finishing Touches

• Add gloss varnish selectively to tendrils or undersides for a slimy effect.
