Grimdark Triumph: Trench Crusade Delivers 1.4M Parts to Global Backers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Shop3D and Only-Games.co Near Completion of 12K+ Order Fulfillment for Trench Crusade
London, UK - August 12, 2025 - Fulfillment for Trench Crusade, one of the most successful miniature crowdfunding campaigns in tabletop history, is nearing completion. More than 75% of global backer orders have been shipped by Only Games and its manufacturing side, Shop3D. The campaign's atmospheric grimdark aesthetic captured international attention, raising more than $3 million on Kickstarter. More than 1.4 million custom parts will be produced and fulfilled through a single integrated platform, with shipping beginning just three months after funding and the full project scheduled to be completed within one year.

From prepress prototyping to global shipping, Shop3D managed every step in-house and aligned with creator needs. Its proprietary crowdfunding management tool allowed the Trench Crusade team to handle pledges, add-ons, and fulfillment in one place, streamlining what is often a complex, fragmented process for creators. In addition to miniatures, Shop3D produced boxes, inserts, and pledge-specific components.

"From the start, we knew Trench Crusade wasn't just about delivering minis, it was about delivering an experience," said Jamie Parsons, COO at Factory Fortress. "Only Games and Shop3D gave us the tools and the trust to do exactly that, and the results speak for themselves."

Backers worldwide have begun receiving their orders, with feedback consistently highlighting product quality, packaging, and timely communication. The pre-order phase is still open for new customers, with remaining shipments expected to wrap shortly.

"Large-scale fulfillment doesn't have to mean disorganization or delay," said Alex Ziff, CEO of Only Games and Shop3D. "We designed this pipeline to prove that creators can scale ambitious projects without compromising quality or visibility. Trench Crusade shows what's possible when manufacturing, logistics, crowdfunding management, and creative vision are all aligned."

What Was Delivered:

12,000+ backer orders (ongoing)

1.4 million parts manufactured and shipped

With Trench Crusade now actively sold through Only-Games.co, the campaign's success has opened new doors for indie creators looking to break out of traditional publishing or mass manufacturing limitations. Its model is already influencing future campaign logistics and emphasizing creator autonomy, transparent fulfillment, and scalable, sustainable manufacturing.

Post-delivery feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with praise for both product quality and fulfillment clarity. Only Games and Shop3D will continue supporting Trench Crusade through its pre-order phase, and look forward to future phases of the project. "This success underscores Only Games and Shop3D's commitment to helping Kickstarter creators scale their visions, from campaign launch through final delivery, with the tools, expertise, and end-to-end services to make every stage of fulfillment seamless," said Ziff.
