Trench Crusade Style - Whaler - Heavy Armour

Trench Crusade Style brutality and industrial menace define the Tet’o Whaler, a heavily armoured shock trooper built for close-quarters annihilation. Encased in layered plate and chain, this hulking figure advances with relentless intent, wielding a massive spiked maul designed to crush armour, bone, and morale in equal measure.

Standing at an imposing 56mm from feet to eyes, the Tet’o Whaler towers over standard infantry, making it an ideal centrepiece for elite units, executioner squads, or narrative villains. The sculpt emphasises raw mass and mechanical oppression, with oversized pauldrons, reinforced greaves, and a faceless helm studded with optical nodes that suggest cold, methodical targeting rather than rage.

Chains hang heavily from the torso and waist, reinforcing the model’s role as an enforcer or penitent engine of war. The brutal mace head is packed with surface detail and impact weight, perfectly suited to weathering, battle damage, and industrial paint schemes. Thick armour plates provide large, clean surfaces for edge highlighting, hazard stripes, or faction markings.

Within a Trench Crusade Style force, the Tet’o Whaler fits naturally as a heavy infantry unit, siege breaker, bodyguard, or corrupted champion. Its grim silhouette and exaggerated proportions make it instantly readable on the tabletop while still offering depth for painters who enjoy texture-heavy miniatures.

Supplied unpainted and unassembled, this model is perfect for grimdark sci-fi, trench warfare settings, or dystopian industrial armies. Whether used in skirmish games, narrative campaigns, or as a display piece, the Tet’o Whaler brings undeniable weight and presence to any collection.
