Hey guys! A while back we did a small starter FronTier on MMF, and thanks to the support, the massive, 100% complete project is finally live on KS.

I really wanted to design a tabletop terrain set with zero flimsy bits - just solid, highly detailed pieces that print flawlessly on standard FDM printers without breaking during your wargaming sessions. I modeled this specifically for trench and grimdark wargames to make the atmosphere and overall quality of your games as immersive as possible. With all the trenches and structures, this set basically gives you an entire ready-to-play wargaming board.

But it’s also highly versatile for other settings. Even if you don't need the trenches, the huge Gothic Cathedral and its underground levels make a mega atmospheric centerpiece that fits almost anywhere. You get both intact and ruined parts, so you can physically swap walls on the table during a game to show battle damage.

I painted the physical prints mostly using dry brushing, going for a Vatican-inspired look but with a heavy dose of grimdark. It was a really fun and surprisingly fast process because the deep details are sculpted specifically to catch dry brush and washes perfectly.

The lanterns are even hollowed out so you can easily drop a cheap LED inside for night raids. We already smashed the stretch goals, so the Armored Train (with playable interiors) and the Heavy Tank are fully unlocked for the All-In tier.

I just wrapped up this complete, ready-to-play board, and seeing it fully realized is an amazing feeling.

I’m calling the full set "The Sanctum Frontline: WWI Grimdark Modular Terrain", and I’m launching it on MyMiniFactory Frontiers next week (August 5th). It’s my first time bringing a project to MMF, so I’m really excited to share it. Let me know what you guys think!

The vision was to build the battlefield around a majestic, Vatican-style temple with beautiful, sacred decorations. But since this cathedral has been caught in a massive conflict for hundreds of years, it’s been heavily militarized. I really wanted to capture that contrast between sacred beauty and the brutal scars of war so you'll see a lot of added concrete reinforcements, bunkers, and firing positions built right into the classic architecture.

The area around it is packed with trenches, barbed wire, and ruined tracks featuring an armored train. I also designed custom streetlamps and lanterns with completely hidden internal compartments to hold a real LED and a small battery, creating an incredible nighttime atmosphere when lit up.

Even with all this dense detail, actual tabletop functionality was my main goal. It's built strictly for 28/32mm gameplay. The structures are chunky and sturdy so they survive regular game nights. Every single interior across the board is fully playable with easy access. The roofs lift right off, leaving plenty of room to maneuver squads inside without knocking things over, and the cathedral even has an underground section with a few hidden secrets to explore.
