That theory vastly misunderstands the timelines the company works on.
Krieg will have been in various stages of design and production for years now.
But thats not to say there isnt cross-compatibility between the two game systems.
Trench Crusade takes liberal inspiration fromWarhammerin its designs.
Court of the Seven-Headed Serpent takes liberally from Warriors of Chaos.
The Black Grail has that decaying Nurgle vibe.
And both New Antioch and Heretic Legion have aspects of Krieg.
Thankfully, Ive got just the bits.
The helmets from the Vanguard, with a fair amount of trimming, work as the medieval-style helms.
I may even sculpt a new chin for them.
For the weapons, I opted for the Skitarii Rangers Galvanic Rifles.
They look archaic enough that they fit within Trench Crusades dark fantasy setting.
The rest of the build is straight from the Krieg Engineers included in the new Army Set.
These rifles need work.
Heretic Legionnaries carry a classic WW1 rifle, and I just cant get my hands on the right one.

Lasguns are too sci-fi.

Ill work out the right weapon in time, but for now this will have to do.
Im thinking of changing the barrel of the lasguns and adding a WW1-style magazine?
Im well on my way to my first two Trench Crusade warbands.
The Death Korps of Krieg are a very versatile kit, and perfect for kitbashing.
Games Workshop provided the miniatures featured in this article.
Games Workshop has put out some impressive kits in 2024, but which is best?
