The setting is the Carcass Front, a place where horror and faith collide on a blood-soaked battlefield.
This box is a massive toolkit of content. It features two brand-new, fan-favorite warbands: the Procession of the Sacred Affliction and the Heretic Naval Raiders.

Packed with introductory rules, maps, score pads, and scatter terrain, this kit is the ultimate gateway to dive into the Trench Crusade saga and decide whether to slay the darkness or unleash it upon the world.
