Trench Crusade style - Conquistador Bombers

Trench Crusade style warfare meets the brutal age of black powder with these Conquistador Bombers, a squad of heavily armoured soldiers carrying oversized cannons, grenades, and the grim resolve of holy warriors marching through no-man's land. Each figure blends late medieval plate armour with gas masks, layered kit bags, and bulky regimental equipment to create a striking visual identity on the tabletop.

This set contains 9 physical resin miniatures across three distinct sculpt poses, each standing approximately 33 mm from feet to eyes. The models arrive with supports already removed and cleaned, ready for assembly and painting. Every figure carries a large bore cannon tube, hand-held grenade devices, and wears full-body armour with crusader cross shields visible on chest plates and bucklers. The variety in poses means your squad looks dynamic and lived-in rather than static and uniform.

Sculpted by DakkaDakka, these Trench Crusade style figures are compatible with 28 mm and 32 mm scale wargames. They suit any grimdark battlefield where faith, gunpowder, and iron-clad discipline are the only currencies that matter. Each base is a round 32 mm lipped base with gritty textured surface, supplied with the models.

Whether you are building a full crusading regiment or adding specialist bomber squads to an existing force, these models deliver excellent detail and battlefield presence at a competitive scale.

The following guide will help you achieve a grimdark, campaign-worn finish that suits the Trench Crusade style aesthetic of these Conquistador Bombers perfectly.

1. Prime

• Apply a grey or black spray primer evenly across all surfaces, paying attention to recesses under the armour plates and around the cannon barrels.

2. Armour Base

• Basecoat all plate armour with a dark steel or iron metallic paint such as Leadbelcher or Scale75 Blackened Metal.
• Apply a second coat mixed with a touch of white on raised surfaces to begin creating contrast between plate edges and recessed areas.

3. Trim and Details

• Pick out crusader cross icons, belt buckles, and helmet spikes with a warm brass or tarnished gold tone to tie the holy warrior theme together.
• Paint gas mask lenses and filter canisters with dark amber or red to add a sinister focal point to each face.

4. Weapons

• Basecoat cannon tubes and grenade devices with a dark iron metallic, then drybrush a brighter silver on the barrel rims and raised edges.
• Add wood-toned browns to any stock or grip elements to break up the metal monotony across the squad.

5. Weathering

• Apply a full wash of Agrax Earthshade or a brown oil wash over the entire model to unify tones and push depth into recesses.
• Stipple rust tones onto cannon mouths, knee guards, and boot buckles using a torn sponge for a campaign-hardened battlefield appearance.

6. Bases

• Paint the textured base surface in a muddy brown, drybrush with a pale tan highlight, and add small static grass tufts or cracked earth effects to complete the trench warfare setting.
