Craft A Trench Crusade Tabletop With PWork’s New Terrain
August 12, 2025 by brennon
PWork Wargames has expanded their selection of wargaming terrain for Trench Crusade with a selection of four MDF kits, which can be used to enhance your battles on the tabletop.
Trench Concrete // PWork Wargames
We start with the Trench Concrete sections, which can be used to build the complex defensive positions and mazes that your troops will have to fight through. The set comes with two small pieces and three larger pieces, allowing you to go wide or tall depending on the kind of tabletop you want to build. You also get a set of catwalks, which will help with your verticality and dynamic skirmishes, but you could also use these as ladders for getting up onto the top of these defensive positions.
Talking of defensive positions, a lot of the battlefield, further away from your commanders, is simply a maze of trenches dug into the blood-soaked earth. Holding the enemy at bay there on the front lines, you'll maybe want some Trench Barricades to hide behind.

Against the forces of Hell, the likelihood of some wooden planks saving your life is pretty slim, but it might give you just enough cover to run from fight to fight without getting picked off by a sniper. You could use these four pieces to prop up the side of a trench, barricade the passageways between the concrete structures above or set up makeshift defences in a more urban setting.
If you're preparing some scenarios, you might find that these big Trench Turrets could be a good idea.

Whichever faction you align yourself with, these Trench Turrets could be the object of your ire or perhaps your saving grace. I like the idea of putting together a scenario where one side has to silence the guns and allow their fellow troops to surge across No-Man's Land. A small team has been sent to infiltrate enemy lines and blow up these guns, whilst your opponent has unleashed some terror into the trenches, seeking to kill the invaders before they can enact their plans.
Last but not least, we've got some great terrain for setting the scene and packing out those blank spaces on your board. What's more Trench Crusade than a field of Crosses?
Trench Crosses // PWork Wargames
This set comes with nine bases of MDF Trench Crosses, which come in various sizes. They have been designed to give you a smidgen of cover as you're racing across open ground but you could also use some of the smaller sections to add some character to your other terrain pieces. A simple but effective set of terrain, which will turn a standard World War I trench layout into a proper Trench Crusade board.
I like the idea that all of the wargaming terrain that you're seeing here can be customised to suit the faction that you've put your support behind. Drape some banners for New Antioch from the sides of those guns or daub hellish graffiti on the side of those concrete structures.
The new terrain would also be the perfect addition to the Trench Crusade Gaming Mat that PWork Wargames recently released.
What do you think of this new Trench Crusade terrain?
"The new terrain would also be the perfect addition to the Trench Crusade Gaming Mat that PWork Wargames recently released..."
Given my tremendous lack of success making trench terrain so far I really should look at this.
