Trench Tales - Soldier Cult Shotgun

The 5th shotgun I designed for Trench Tales is one of 2 special variations. These were made special for the backer on the Kickstarter and are both tied into the world-building for the game.
This variation is used by the Soldier Cult: A coven of soldiers who worship the Old Gods of War, as well as war itself. I wanted this gun to really inhabit the spirit of war. An undying machine, passed through the hands of many soldiers, slowly becoming more than a machine, gaining a spirit. More of a monster than a gun, in the end. Over the years the soldiers have scrawled prayers and symbols on the shotgun, and it has survived both rot and fire.

Trench Tales is gripping third-person shooter horror game set in a dark, alternative world inspired by the aesthetics of WWI and WWII, created by Alexander Ponomarev.
