Gloom Trench 1926: Imperial Russian Riflemen [How I Paint Things]

I’m a sucker for anything grimy, cold, and ragged. Gloom Trench hits all those buttons as hard as it can, and with the upcoming Russian Empire releases planned through Kickstarter, that’s another project on the growing list! Remember that even if you don’t have a 3D printer, Fickle Dice has licensed printers worldwide who’ll be able to ship physical copies once the Kickstarter is complete - and who can already send out miniatures from the British Empire range as well!
