Mwaaaaahaaaugh the French 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. They have all been collected here for your convenience:

>>95009317
The ones in that pic are made with craft materials like polystyrene, coffee stirrers, flocking and filler. I know there are lots of trench walls on stuff like Cults3D you can print.

The problem with natural proportions at scale is they are pretty fragile. I have experiment a bunch with 1/72 scale stuff (roughly 22mm or 1") and stuff like ankles and wrists are super delicate when trying to keep real life proportions. A sub 25 micron printer can print individual fingers at that scale but they would be so instantly broken. Proportion scaling requires a bunch of experimentation because looking at a mini on a screen doesn't read the same as the same mini on your table.
TLDR: Chunky is the trade off for durability of a gaming piece.

This is really the only Pumpkinmon card that does anything, used in the Nightmare Soldiers (NSo) deck. So far all the NSo cards are in the EX8 booster box and the deck is pretty mediocre but will hopefully improve over time. Should be pretty cheap to make.

You probably wouldn't run more than 2 Pumpkinmon in the deck though.
>>
>>95009708
What other 5 do you run in NSO?
you run 4 myotis, obviously.
the mammothmon is quite bad
skullmera is not good, hes okay to play out from boltbout so you can setup a jogress play the next turn as well and have extra checks but that is pretty mediocre all in all so hes not great
pumpkin and myotis are the only good lvl 5's the deck has so I don't think its strange to play 3 or 4 pumpkin
>>
>>95009727
4 Myotis, 2 Pumpkin and SkullMera, 1 Mammothmon.

I don't know anyone who's actually, genuinely enthusiastic for James Cameron's Avatar movies, but they have a combined total box office of over five billion dollars and are in the top 3 highest grossing movies of all time (and even if you adjust for inflation, Avatar is still in the 11-20 range).

So they can't reasonably be called "flops". or to put it another way...

They didn't get any support because they were designed for the RPG and the RPG only. I don't think many of you understand just how little GW cares about non-primary source creations even if they do own them. GW wouldn't touch them with rented hands holding a 50ft pole.

Which is confusing, since I assumed practicing puzzles would help the mid or end game. Practically every single match I've played looks like this. As the opening ends I make some insane blunder and it's all downhill from there.

If they are to be made canon what's the least bad way GW can go about it, fluffwise? I imagine it'll be something like Cawl cracking open some GC-era vault and discovering a stockpile of female geneseed or something along those lines, with the implication that either one of the unknown Primarchs may have been female or that Empz and pals experimented with female spacies before giving up on them and sticking to male.
Not that there is any explanation that wouldn't butcher both the lore and the spirit of the game, but with the change to Custodes I wouldn't be shocked if FemSM are on the horizon.

It's a garbage idea only spread by coomers such as yourself, as seen by the pic you posted. Like with Custodes of course, people like you who hype such concepts are used as useful idiots in uncalled for and retarded lore changes.

You want some hot space marines? You either only get one (if that) and never again or they're your typical DEI stereotype of strong woman who will do what SM do but much better, while also looking ugly as fuck and unnepealing.

Paint two small armies and invite a *good* friend to play, use simplified rules if need to, recommend narrative/fun scenario.
"set up your equal forces" is less appealing to casual players than "here's a last stand, let's see how it goes".

But in case you don't want to 'compromise' then you should think around the place you can play; where can you set up a table? Where are tables already set? Work from that

>And without rolling a handful of dice each time I use a toothpick?
Surely rolling every time you use shit is inherently how usage dice work. Also normal usage dice are not exponential, they're accelerating.
One possibility: roll n nice when you use your thing, if all are 1-3 then decrement n. Effectively you have "about 2^n" uses, which makes it easy to reason about stack of things.
I think actual exponential decay is probably better though, as it encourages risk taking. Which you could do as above but decrease n if you roll any 1-3.

I am working on designing a quick and easy tabletop game on a square grid, and I need a simple way to do line of sight. I want a method a player could just eyeball, or at worst, count.

>>95007257
Squares have either full or no block to sight. Draw the most direct path from you to target, without diagonal movement square to square. If any squares block LoS, you have no LoS.
>>
>>94976174
Nah, it's even better as long as you mind the paint consistency (you want it more watery since it's coloring absorbent material instead of just painting a surface, but not so watery that it'll bloat the cardboard). I've done it before to good effect.
This does NOT apply to actual MDF/HDF, those edges paint the same as the rest of the material.
