About the Trench Companion
Trench Companion is a fan-made tool designed to support players of Trench Crusade. From building your warband to running full campaigns, it brings all game content into one place — streamlined, accessible, and always up to date.
We’re developing Trench Companion continuously, with new features and content planned well into the future. Below, you’ll find a roadmap showing our current release stages and what’s coming next.
Future Plans
Genesis
July 2025
In this initial release of Trench-Companion a full rules compendium will maintain an up-to-date catalogue of all game rules. Not only that, but the Warband Buidler will allow users to create and maintain warbands effortlessly - stored locally or on our online Synod servers.
Alpha Phase
August 2025 - October 2025
During this time, we focus on improving the Warband Builder and major functionality of Trench Companion. We have also started doing collaborations with creators to provide more value to our users. Having finished the alpha phase, we are proud to have created an app that works well and is being used by so many users. We also thank all our supporters - without you, we would not be able to do this!
See our blog for more details on what we have worked on.
Trench Crusade 1.0 Update
November 2025
Following the release of the official 1.0 Rules, we will update our app to be up to date with all changes. You can expect the update to drop early November.
We will be supporting both the playtest rules and 1.0 rules for some time, so you can still use the warbands you have created during the playtest period and users will be able to upgrade them to the new 1.0 rule set.
Campaigns v1
December 2025
In this major update, the campaign manager will be added. The campaign manager allows users to associate their warbands with a Campaign or join a friend's campaign, tracking progress across games and accessing other players warbands.This is just the beginning, though. We have a lot of features planned for the campaign manager!
Campaigns expansions
January 2026
We will continue to work on extending the functionality of our campaign manager. We aim to introduce the following features by the end of January 2026:
- Post Game Helper
- Map based campaign system
- Report Game scores
- Report Post Game results
- Custom Thresholds and campaign settings
- Campaign integration into Warband Builder
Play Mode
February 2025
We plan to include a separate Play Mode in our app which lets you connect to opponents, select a scenario and use one screen to play the game. You will be able to reference all participating warbands and scenario details in this view. In addition, you will be able to track scores and glorious deeds for the participating warbands.
After a game, the Play Mode will integrate into the other functions, letting you report the game results to a campaign and triggering post game effects right there.
Pride Cometh Update
March 2026
In the second major update the ability for Homebrew Content to be created will be officially included. Expansive documentation and guides will be made to help users create their own custom homebrew content and add it to their games and share with their fellow players! Premium users will also receive a glut of new cosmetic options and the ability to have their homebrew content hosted for other users to access effortlessly.

What comes next lies shrouded in mystery. As the world of Trench Crusade evolves, we are preparing for something greater — new features, expanded systems, and gifts yet unnamed. No promises, only omens. Expect the unexpected.
