Trench Crusade General - /trench/Weird love Edition >What is Trench Crusade? An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu. >What Trench Crusade is not TC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/. Keep it on topic. >What's the QRD on the background? The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes. >How do I get started? All the files are free online, but are split between the website and the discord.

>>96491841out of curiosity, what defines them as 'Swiss'??
>>96491841Looks a little more 40k than Trench Crusade. probably because of the glowing bits and the pistol that looks kind of like one of the newer bolt pistols from this angle.
>>96491841Definitely feels more sci-fi, and way too clean. Maybe it'd feel right if he were covered in rust and gore? Ultimately it's agnostic and you can paint whatever minis you want, it's just a touch off
>>96491654Yeah, absolutely. From my experience aside from some dedicated melee heavy hitters (which most faction can only have a small number of), ranged weapons definitely tend to be stronger than melee in TC, do you need plenty of terrain if you don't want them to dominate. Also, it looks cool and opportunity to use jumping/climbing rules is always fun >>96491841He does look cool and the paintjob is very nice, but I do agree with others that the camo and weapons make him look more modern or even futuristic
>>96492060Yeah, I was limited on appropriate bits. The silenced autopistol is from Necromunda. >>96492043If I get some WargameAtlantics kits. I'll do the appropriate ww2 uniforms. I used that green-gray color for the body under the duble cloak, but it's barely visible.I also plan on doing some equipment of the TAZ57 (Alpenflage) era, but only for special characters. This guy has the camo cover and the gun is black-scoffed metal like the SIG 510.

>>96491431Surplus battledroids have been used multiple times by criminal elements. And I could easily imagine some warships getting smuggled out. If a legal pretense is needed, maybe a corrupt Imperial officer sold 'scrapping rights' to a contractor and 'forgot' to ensure that fully dismantled them.
>>96492369You mean two and done.
>>96492369>Oh wow, no one gives a fuck.Aren't you the guy who was crying last thread about how comic canon wasn't being properly respected?
>>96489585Best thing to happen in Legion in a long time, though these Generic Jedi seem like they could be somewhat overtuned depending on how they are costed.>>96489236>Ventress/Maul/Ahsokakek, confirmed to be Padawan/Inquisitor-tier forcelets.More seriously I'm more worried about the Jedi Consular or Jedi Training (Force Adept) getting them to MOTF2 which would be crazy if not costed appropriately. I'm surprised these seem to be so high-power when Rebel and Imperial generics are closer to the 65-110pts range. I suppose it makes sense with Republic being the Elite faction with expensive units.>>96492333For context>Mando S1 and S2 both got 7 Emmys>Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka and Mando S3 each got 1>The most TCW got in a year was 2>Andor S1 got 0I don't think these awards mean much.
>>96492617ahsoka being MoTF1 makes sense, ventress and maul should get a buff though
what causes this mentality? is it retardation?
>>96476856>making the downfall of humanity due to a fucking women,I mean it's not like that idea came from nowhere.
>>96485835or it could be you cucks(and niggers) have been spamming that shit all over this site and the wider net for 10 years its become ubiquitous
>>96486891It's extra stupid when people see Warhammer orcs/orks specifically as analogues for black people because they're extremely white.
>>96492634the new fad on instagram is to paint orks white. I actually think it looks really cool but theres an obvious bit of intent there
>>96492634digganob may have been satire of wigger culture though

The moment everything went to shit.
I don't really dislike primaris other than the phobos units being too tacticool. But I do feel like they should keep 40K as it is with mirrored terrain etc as a containment game for competitive autists but do a Warhammer for Adults variant where you get 30-50 guys, 1-2 tanks, and 1 commander. And fill that mode up with random event tables, NPC aliens/monsters, complicated scenarios, and other stuff the competitive dorks will hate.
>>96479099I'm sorry to hear you're unhappy with it, and have been for so long. I guess you'll be moving on from Warhammer and investing your time and energy into a different game or activity, right?

Which game is currently in a worse state?
40k is far worse even though I absolutely hate magic right now. My thoughts are based on the effort. Current 10th edition 40k is exhausting and I'm having to up date my current armies to the new unit changes. The terrain sucks, the feel sucks, everything doesnt feel "correct". Easily 3+ hours for a game in the middle of the week after work is exhausting. In MTG I can play a few games for fun with friends and not really commit. We burned on on EDH so right now we're playing with our old sets of Innistrad decks from college. Both games are still fun - but a commitment to magic is easier, cheaper, and you're not "chasing the feels" to stay locked into the 40k hobby. The best approach is always to take it as a beer and pretzels casual fun game you play with your friends. We play games to have fun and have a good time. Don't follow the dark path of competitive play in either game.
>>96492582This. The best option is to just not participate, no matter what your political views are
>>96492570All woke goes broke eventually. Give it time.
>>96492605No anon, you must play competitively. 40k is no longer your casual hobby.
>>96492622You have no power here L Ruin! Begone Club-Shirt-Wearing-Tournament-Player! Back I say!Like I said, both games are fine if you tune down the competitive side and just goofy off. I used to play Warmachine / Warmahordes in MK2 and MK3 and the game wasn't fun after a point due to how cutthroat it was. The terrain there was even worse! My group all has wives, I dont have kids yet so I'll host and have some friends over to game on my tables and shoot the shit. It's a lot of fun. I'm also becoming far more anti social since I'm not going to the FLGS or showing up at events. Conventions are still great, I highly recommend. Just don't go to Adepticon only for the tournaments. Remember the hobby is mostly sitting in a room painting.
Thoughts on the upcoming Starcraft wargame?
Bought my starcraft tabletop war game 15 years ago. Plays fine. No reason to buy a new one.

Cute, I spotted an Infinity mini in the background of this Peep Show episode.
>>96492442Yep, that's the Alguacil sniper with the cat mascot.
What do people typically do for demo games? 3v3 line troops? Do you do a follow-up game where you include a model with special rules? Do you leave out extra rules like fireteams and lieutenants? Need to get a scene kickstarted in my area so I’ve gotta work out how to do this

>>96492195Nah, the hate was because he was copying other folk's brews without crediting or even asking permission, to the point that apparently he struggled to know what was actually in it because he just cut and pasted without bothering to read it. This was discovered if I rightly recall by Shas reading the brews and recognizing his own shit word for word.
>>96492444Huh. Well, don't trust reddit posts, I guess. Lesson learned. Again.
Is it possible for warp storms/rifts to be localized to a single region on a planet? I'm trying to create a planet where the people live on nomadic city crawlers and have to periodically relocate to avoid destructive storms.
>>96492578Warp storms in the physical world tend to make a place pretty much completely unlivable. Rifts tend to have things kicking down the door to ask where the white women are.Maybe instead regular storms that are too dangerous for these giant cities, even with void shields? Rockstorms? If you're absolutely hellbent on physical warp stuff, I guess a storm could. One single cloud that loops around the planet according to some insane schedule and sucks up anything that isn't a native part of the world. It's the warp, it does what it wants.
>>96492607Honestly regular storms that are highly destructive is just fine too. Thanks.

It is done. Behold. That about wraps up my contributions. It has been a pleasure working with the gentlemen here to create something unique and intriguing. I hope that this project continues, and may, some day, become reality. I'll be around to playtest, but unless called upon, others should have the opportunity to present their own ideas, and express their own creativity. For those who initially recommended that I read the novel aloud for the records, my little tribute at the end should demonstrate why that might not have been the best idea.

>>96488402Your work has been outstanding from beginning to end, thank you for making this. I'm going to miss waiting for the audiobook updates in the thread.
>>96488402I feel rather compelled to order some Perry Bros Prussians at some point in honor of this.
>>96491409Well now you've gone and spoiled what my follow up would have been. I liked the Perry stuff, but availability seems limited in the U.S. To assemble the physical army I had planned, Wargames Atlantic makes early WWI Germans that are quite a good value. Just keep it to the Pickelhaubes and use the stahlhelms for Sturmtruppen. They've got Maxim MGs as well. A mech is currently on my 3D printer at the moment. God only knows when I'll have time to paint.
Back when I lived in Tennessee I remember seeing ads for this every now an then, was it actually any good?
It was good and had a cool theme, but it was a nightmare to collect. Wizkids later did Rocketman that was somewhat similar (Same plastic cards,etc) and even if the theme and art was shit at least they made it better to build for it as there was cards with lots of generic crew for that game (Pirates also did it in the later editions but they weren't nation specific, they were "lost crew")On a game design stand of view it was really good, there are lots of cool things like the giant crabs (titans) that you could have a crew piloting it... Or forts that you could build in wild islands by paying gold. Or fortillas, or Mysterious Islands, etc
My wife and I have two shoeboxes where we keep our assembled ships, though some are worse for wear. It was a relatively simple wargame that we probably played wrong, but we had fun with it, and liked the little boats enough to hold onto them over 20 years. Really liked my Spanish fleet.I recall Rocketmen like the other anon mentioned, and I think there was a Star Wars game that had a similar "pop out and build" element, but worked by very different rules. I only ever had like one or two boosters for either of those, and nothing I particularly liked.
>>96486399I loved this when i was a kid it was awesome
>>96490616>and liked the little boats enough to hold onto them over 20 yearsI still got a few hovering around, too. Turns out that the market for 10-part model ships is criminally under-served.
>>96486399I remember having fun with chaotic multiplayer games. It also helped to just houserule that every ship had a captain for free(let you move and shoot in the same turn). Donated all mine to a thrift store when the Konmari thing got big. I wonder if anyone's made a similar ruleset for a miniatures/board game.
