Trench Crusade Style - Drowned Witch

Trench Crusade Style horror rises from the depths with the Drowned Witch, an aquatic occult entity bound to flooded trenches, black seas, and ritual waters. This is not a victim of drowning, but a being that dwells beneath the surface, dragging war and sorcery into the deep.

Standing 32mm from feet to eyes, the Drowned Witch appears to float rather than walk, her lower form dissolving into flowing, water-warped tendrils. Heavy spiked iron orbs drift around her on chained tethers, moving as if suspended in water, guided by unseen currents and dark will. The sculpt captures the sensation of constant motion, like a predator circling just below the surface.

Her upper body retains fragments of armour and ritual garb, worn smooth and rounded by time spent submerged. Chains are not restraints but tools, anchoring her presence between the battlefield and the depths below. The balance between solid metal and fluid shapes reinforces her identity as something native to drowned environments, not bound by land or breath.

Within a Trench Crusade Style force, the Drowned Witch fits perfectly as a water-bound psyker, area-denial unit, or narrative monster emerging from flooded trenches, canals, or abyssal shorelines. Her unique silhouette makes her ideal for objective control, ambush scenarios, or supernatural threats tied to terrain.

This miniature is delivered unpainted and unassembled, offering rich opportunities for painters to explore wet effects, algae staining, oxidised metal, and ghostly underwater lighting.
