{"product_id":"trench-crusade-style-tet-o-herald","title":"Trench Crusade Style - Tet'o Herald","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Trench Crusade Style physical resin miniature depicts the Tet'o Herald, a single-model release standing 33mm from feet to eyes and arriving ready to assemble and paint. Sculpted by DakkaDakka, the Herald cuts an imposing silhouette: a hunched, armoured figure draped in heavy chains and a billowing, tattered cape, its conical riveted helm fitted with a respirator mask and circular lenses. One gauntleted hand reaches forward in a commanding gesture while the other grips a tall ceremonial staff topped with a wheel-cross finial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe detail density on this piece rewards patient painters. Chains drape across the shoulders in deep, cleanly separated links. The cape flows in dramatic, wind-caught folds and is edged with ragged tears that give the model immediate battlefield grit. The back of the helm carries twin cylindrical tanks and exposed bolt fittings, reinforcing the grimdark, industrial-ecclesiastical character that defines the Trench Crusade Style aesthetic. The round slotta base is textured and ready to receive basing materials straight from the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach miniature is cast in high-quality grey resin, supports removed and surfaces cleaned before dispatch. Multi-part assembly may be required. Standard hobby superglue is recommended. The figure ships unpainted unless a painted version is selected at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale reference: 33mm foot to eye.
