Build A Wartorn 28mm Trench With Fickle Dice Games’ Kickstarter

August 21, 2023 by brennon

Fickle Dice Games, the folks behind Gloom Trench 1926, are on Kickstarter right now with a project focused on creating an excellent 3D Printable Trench System which could be used for their Pulp-Horror wargame and more.

The Trench System from Fickle Dice Games has been made to be modular, allowing you to bolt a variety of different sections together to make long, short, complicated and simple trenches that your troops can hunker down in as the enemy starts shooting.

As you can see, the trench system comes with a solid wall of sandbags on the one side, held up by wood and sheets of metal. The interior portion of the trench is then made up of wooden boards and plenty of mud. You always need plenty of mud.

As you can see, it makes for a really good trench system that can be chopped and changed however you see fit. Whilst, of course, the set has been designed for Gloom Trench 1926, the terrain is 28mm so it should work for Astra Militarum in Warhammer 40,000 or perhaps A War Transformed which is coming later this year from Osprey Games.

The terrain comes supported so you shouldn't need to worry about that side of things and they have also tested these out at 15mm scale. That means if you're playing smaller scale games then you just have to get out the shrink ray and pack more pieces into the printer! Here's an example of the detail still looking crisp on a 15mm piece.

If you're interested in this Trench System then you can print off a few FREE test pieces by heading over to Cults and getting it downloaded. If you like what you see, you can get all the trench you could ever need by pledging over on Kickstarter.
