Mix Cthulhu With Trench Crusade And The Disciple Of Tet’o!
November 12, 2025 by brennon
DakkaDakka.Store are currently on Kickstarter with a brand new campaign that blends Cthulhu and Lovecraftian mythos with the Grimdark of Trench Crusade. Head down into the depths and dredge up the Disciples of Tet'o!
Disciples Of Tet'o Kickstarter Campaign // DakkaDakka.Store
The Disciples of Tet'o are a 32mm scale fan expansion to your warband options in games of Trench Crusade (and in other games as well). They are unspeakable horrors, born of the Maelstrom, haunting the shadows of port cities and the midnight depths of the water, their coming betrayed by the stench of brine and ghostly, flickering, pale lights.
Tet'o Idolators // DakkaDakka.Store
All that is known is that the Disciples of Tet'o want to drag the living down into the depths so that they can be devoured, converted or sacrificed to abyssal masters. Many of their number are made up of these transformed and twisted humans but you will also see unspeakable nightmares amongst them, twisted monsters riddled with tentacles and abyssal beasts with arms like scythes.

Idolators are matched by Drowned Witches, Heralds of Tet'o, Swarm Carriers, K'rlieh Hunters, Abyss Beasts and more. All of them are terrifying and somewhat unknowable, a fascinating new entry into the community mythos for Trench Crusade that takes the game in a slightly different direction.
What's awesome is that whilst this is, in essence, a set of miniatures for you to use in the likes of Trench Crusade alongside an existing faction, the team has designed a set of rules for running the Disciples of Tet'o that you can download HERE and below.

The rules contain everything you need for running these creations on the tabletop and will no doubt be updated and tweaked as they go through more playtesting. Very cool!

When it comes to the miniatures themselves, they are available in different formats. You can either obtain these miniatures as digital STL files to print at home or have them printed and sent to you as physical miniatures. So, you won't be left out if you decide you like the look of these miniatures and don't have a 3D printer.

Equally, a couple of the sets within the collection from DakkaDakka.Store come as either a "Build Kit" or fully assembled. This means that you can get just the components and build the miniatures as you see fit, or you can get them preassembled so you don't have to worry about working out what arm goes with what body.
Kr'Lieh Keepers // DakkaDakka.Store
There are some absolutely brilliant designs as part of this collection that would be simply excellent to paint up. I really like the studio scheme that DakkaDakka.Store has been designed above but I think you could have lots of fun with an almost shimmering, cobalt-style metal that almost looks a bit more mystical.

Lovecraftian and Cthulhu mythos is weird, uncanny and distinctly dark already but I really like how DakkaDakka.Store has tweaked and twisted it to fit into the Grimdark of Trench Crusade. It feels like a natural fit and makes perfect sense that some strange elder god would be taking advantage of the utter chaos spreading throughout the world of Trench Crusade.

I think folks who weren't entirely convinced by the Heretic Legions for their Hell-based link might be tempted to try out the faction if it has this Lovecraftian twist. You've certainly got every miniature (and more) covered from this faction presented here as part of this Kickstarter campaign.

There is a full breakdown of what miniatures come in what sets over on the Kickstarter if you'd like to see your potential new goodies in more detail. Equally, this is also a DakkaDakka.Store Kickstarter project so it also features plenty of Add-Ons and Stretch Goals that have been unlocked over the course of the campaign.
You will get your digital files via DakkaDakka.Store and the physical rewards will be produced by Only-Games, who have been working on providing physical miniatures for Trench Crusade already.
You should definitely go and check out this new range of miniatures over on Kickstarter if you're into Trench Crusade AND Cthulhu!

Amazing concepts and better miniatures. I can actually smell their fishiness through the monitor!
Does anyone think my Bambu A1 Mini fdm printer will do these justice?
Worth asking the DakkaDakka community online as they have a good set of folks helping with tech stuff
They advanced in cohort step to the frightful battle cry “viva calamari” …..nice stuff 👍

Trench Crusader is the next project for sure, and this faction looks great!
If there was anything other than GW here, this would fly like an aeroplane. But right now, all other games glide like a broken helicopter. ⬇️
TC is a great game, chill but fun
These minis look like they could work for heretic legion or the black grail in particular.
