New Year, New Terrors 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:

When shanking someone with an assassin with the golden stabby, specifically when using Temporal Assassin, do I still get the two attacks on each target of Temporal Assassin, or does each target only get one attack (since the weapon gives two)?

For Trench Pilgrims, is it better to have rusty armor or religious iconography? Or have a mix of both? Then again, it's not like the armor wouldn't end up painted, right?
>>
>like the lore for Trench Pilgrims
>don't like how fucking dirty everyone is
>>
>>94742416
Make a Trench Pilgrim group focused on eradicating filth in all forms, especially the Black Grail. St. Zita is the patron saint of cleaners, give them mops and squeegee bottles.

Zitanic Crusaders of Hygiennocide

>>94742416

TP seems to be one of the least rigid uniforms in the game, you could just do both and both make sense. TP are a bunch of individuals, not an actual army, theyre described as a loosely connected paramilitary organization with lots of iterations, it would make sense if they all wear different stuff, if you really want painted armour you can just have a guy with it, if you want rusted armour then thats the guy with rusted armour.

>>94742962
Heres a short about what happens when an angel shows up locally on the battlefield. I'm assuming that if an angel does that, an act of god would simply be the end. You can quote Epicurus as a counter argument if you'd like.


We remained cowering in a trench when the trumpet sounded in the oppressive, lead-lined sky. We furtively glanced out of the corners of our eyes, having learned long ago not to look at such things directly. We saw it all the same. The angel stepped down from the sky in a burning catastrophe of light, and it spoke words like thunder.

The words were vast and inscrutable, like glimpsing only a fragment of some titanic buried machine and trying to understand its ancient purpose. Our minds broke upon the surface of those words, leaving us gasping for air, we could not endure such relentless purity.

I stared dumbfounded at my friends who had cast themselves into the mud. They crawled like worms, and they uttered the most desolate sounds. One beat his face against a wooden post until it was a slick, red cavity bristling with broken teeth. The other, shrieking, clutched his service pistol and shot himself again and again.

I pulled myself out of the trench, scrabbling over the sandbags and crosses, and the words of the angel filled my head with a buzzing pressure that made my eyes bulge from their sockets. I fell to my knees, made obeisance, and as I stared into the blazing, dominating light, I could not even feel my head catch fire.

This is probably a dumb question but you’re allowed to make your own Brigades (is that what they’re called?) like how you’re allowed to make you’re own space marines right?

I was thinking about getting into NA and making my own Brigade called “Seekers of Wisdom”
Basically a bunch of nerds who believe to defeat their enemy they must understand them, so they collect and document relics/artifacts/knowledge both divine and heretical. This obviously isn’t popular with the Church and while this knowledge they have accumulated helps fight against heretics, they are forced to paint parts of their wargear, especially their helmets, black as to call back to the Black Templars who ruined the world. I thought it was a cool idea.

Nothing prohibits you from making /yourguys/ if you want. Just find the faction that's rules that support your ideas mechanically and go with it, or just homebrew something with your own group.

Sounds like a rogue branch of the Synod of Strategic Prophecy or adjacent division.
>>
>>94743071
Hell yeah you can make yourdudes. Though because you want to show off your group collects heretical stuff, try to make it obvious they're representing their respective New Antioch units, for the benefit of your opponents. Do you already have an idea how'd you like to show off their practice?

Thanks anons, glad to know I can make my mildly heretical dudes

>>94743114
I was mostly going to do the Black Helmets to reference the templars, but now that you mention it stapling some mildly heretical things to their gear in some places would be funny to further raise the Churches eyebrows
(I want to add I don’t view them as being heretics, they hate them as much as anyone else, they just want to know them to hate them even more which makes everyone else very concerned)

>>94742962
We don't know much about the first heresy or what it is that exactly caused it.
Could be the templars fall was hidden somehow due to Hells manipulation?
IIRC the creators mentioned that all of this was not in Gods plan and the longer the war is prolonged the more Gods plan becomes frayed.

New version of dragon hunt is out, can't upload the file directly here or add it to the MEGA cause im retarded and don't know how but the main changes apparently are
>The game does not end anymore with a failed morale test.
>Dragon now activates twice per turn.
>Dragon's armor is chipped down every time it is knocked Down, worsened by 1 to a minimum of 0.
>Dragon can now leave Melee Combat with its basic Move without suffering any consequences. Models in its way will be trampled, as per its rules.
>Dragon can now only be killed with a Blood Bath, still after being knocked Down three times when it would have been taken Out of Action.

the naked womens are from: 3DGeschaft Miniatures Figures on MMF. the rest is just from my bitbox, fantasy wh stuff, spikes from sprues irc. gasmask is from knucklebones (filed down ofc).

The Zweihander Saint is a totally badly made stl file by myself, the crown was free on cults and was digitally fused in lychee with a SAINT DECENT knight helm (which is the best knight helm on the internet btw), it took like several and I mean A LOT by several failed prints to get it right, since I'm not a pro with this stuff and it was my first and only time trying to do something digitally, and the funny enough the crown will only work with cheap elegoo resin.
Normally these days I always print with SUNLU TOUGHNESS, since it turned out the best and you can cut it like plastic gw sprues when its not that hardened yet, which is awesome as fuck for kitbashing.
The sword was ludwigs sword (from cults) scaled down printed and then sanded as fuck to get the ornaments off this sword.
The feet are also different, I think the came from some BESTIARUM lion knight, since I hate high heels asthetics.
And then I experimented with the scaling in lychee, which works wonders sometimes, but well as you see it's a clusterfuck, I think I made 20+ models of this mini just to get it "right". called it a day with this one.

That's going to take some time and work, better use resin.
But if you're up to it, you can thin down some epoxy putty with simply water. Thin it down to a workable paste and smear it on there to smooth things out, use an old brush or your fingers for larger surfaces. When it's dry, you just sand it.

TC doesnt need to be a new Warhammer, it will probably forever be niche. Its just a cool thing to be into and collect, maybe get your friends some models and play a match or so. Also who actually plays warhammer tabletop lol. As long as TC gets a few books, development, and maybe a few years down the line a cool video game all will be fine. With 3 million dollars they have the ability to do a lot of cool shit.

>>94748194
I got my NA models off Etsy, just look up TC. Youre basically asked to use Proxys so just kitbash and shit
>>
>>94748194
Not really, no.
The game is in its foundation miniature agnostic.
You could easily buy a couple of 28mm historical plastic kits, some medieval and some WW1/2, combine that with some random bits and bobs and you'll have a cool warband in no time (fx chaos stuff works great for heretic legion)

The emphasize on kitbashing was what got me into the game.
>>
>>94748049
As someone who enjoys /awg/ games quite a bit, business as usual is to DIY a scene yourself: offer to run demo games at your local store, organize games and campaigns, paint your minis and terrain real nice so people where you play get curious and take interest, and help people out online. Once you break out of the D&D/Warhammer/Magic triad you cannot be a passive observer in the hobby.
>>94747952
They're in the same good guy* tier as New Antioch where they're one of the two known bastions of civilization, and it's possible to live a reasonably normal life within the Wall, but also like NA they're doing morally questionable religion science bullshit to keep an edge in the war (making horrifical alchemical beasts that on some level are aware that they are sins against nature).
>>
My kitbashing project that I have yet to start is making seven cults, one for each sin. Design notes so far:
>Wrath: Blood wash, fire FX, blades sticking into their bodies
>Lust: Hands all over, watery imagery, no explicit nudity or genitalia, but literal representations of innuendos, beastfolk?
>Sloth: Melty look, clock imagery?, candle imagery?, emphasize passage of time
>Gluttony: Piles of unused weapons, Sorcerer on a pile of books, mushroom imagery?, bugfolk?
>Greed: Adeptus Custodes expies; maybe use Custodian proxies?
>Pride: Angel wings, everything big and imposing, keep soldiers looking like Crusaders?, each soldier has a slightly different banner
>Envy: Green-eyed reptilians, "looted" gear from other factions, mirrors?

They're probably the closest thing to a "good guy" faction; they still have some morally questionable things going on with all the alchemical monstrosities and such (reminder that the main gate to hell was in Jerusalem which definitely implies some weird fuckery going on there) but they sort of only keep to themselves and are choosing to mostly operate defensively. For now, I haven't heard about them using children for any kind of weird means, which I feel is a good sign that they're not too far off the beaten path and lost in the weird religious god sauce. Only forcibly conscripting a single soldier for every 20 households that exists for your rank and file is pretty damn generous too. Maybe they can afford to be a bit more lax with recruitment because they have the wall, but it's obvious they actually at least care for their people's wellbeing beyond just using them as a resource pool.

They go on raids into Heretic territories to abduct their children so they can brainwash and mutate them into Janissaries. Of course, these are also children in Heretic territory, so it's not like their quality of life was going to be all that nice anyway.

In moral terms the right thing to do would be to take those children and raise them free from war. But at least there's a mild moral element to their practical element, which is of course getting very good soldiers out of it.

I enjoy with TC that there's no real attempt to go 'yeah this faction has nice guys in it', one of the most groanworthy things with 40k was that

Sadly, FDMs aren't great for minis smaller then largest of demons, and even demons will not look perfect, you can print really fucking good terain and tanks, and I know some folk have printed tiny tanks on FDMs to run as machine armour, and new ghoust list has leader on a tank, so you could in a pinch go for a list of anchrotie shrines as tiny tanks or kitbash some free stls to make ghost tank leader and then get some dudes to go with him as heretic ghosts.

The body of christ made literal, as in, the spirit of christ embodies a living vessel, and there are multiple, they arent necessarily clones there is just some process that allows Jesus to inhabit another body, but he cant do anything himself. Some reject it because there is obviously only one Jesus and he died on the cross, but others actually use it and get tangible benefits from it, like ressurection and regeneration.

If it was against gods will and is blasphemous devil shit, then why does god have no problem with it and even bestows blessing to those that do it. It doesnt seem to be bullshit as people do come back from the dead and speak words jesus spoke

I really like the black grail Dirge, they seem like a completely different faction in description from the default, where they go from "Not-Nurgle with flies/rot motiff" to "Dark Souls with hollow husks and black tar blood motiff". On seeing that the Trench Ghosts get a "tank" has me interested in seeing what people will do with that.

Some of the stuff people are making is rad.
>>
>>94754821
Yeah, they're a pretty trusted and reliable company as far as I know. I've only pledged to the Mork Bjorg one as far as their kickstarters go, but I've bought quite a few minis off of their website and always been happy with their quality.

I am interested in it, but I can't imagine actually backing something like this when you will be able to get everything for free on telegram lol.

It’s a bit of a crazy choice honestly; NA is already crazy strong because of their gun lines and now they’re just making it even cheaper and easier to achieve that. There’s no difference between a Yeomen and a Heretic Trooper with a bolt action rifle yet now HL are paying that extra 5 ducats for…Nothing? Makes me wonder if maybe they’re testing the waters for bolt action rifles to drop down to 5 ducats for every warband down the line

Yes? Does it actually surprise you to learn that there are people that are not interested in Warhammer for whatever reason but want to play tabletop games that distinctly ARENT Warhammer?

See MESBG, do you think those people are only into their game because they dont like Warhammer, or is it because they like Lord of the Rings.

You seem to be missing a crucial point. It isn't about ONLY liking TC because it isn't warhammer.
Nobody (I hope) likes TC ONLY because it isn't warhammer.
But its a significant part of why people like it, and I think that will undermine the game in the long run.

I specifically go out of my way to repeatedly post that not being warhammer is PART of why people like TC.

Like, you couldve come in with a question or tried to talk about something if you were actually interested or wanted to know about something to do with the game, instead you walked into an ongoing discussion you had no knowledge or interest in and said "Guys I think this conversation isnt genuine".

God ain't dead it's just if he gets involved properly it's annihilation for all life. Even an angel showing up is the same as a nuke and renders everything around dead. The Meta Christ isn't really elaborated on (for good reason) but he's clearly not the real Jesus.

Basically, God and its angels are just as alien and uncomprehensible as the demons, perhaps even more (since the Hell side is made of deities that are close to humans and their base, mundane, vile desires and sins, while Heavens transcends all of that).

Also yeah, just one nuke descending on Earth = everyone around dies.

Heaven seems to be playing by some laws that are undefined where hell is looking over contracts for the fine print and exploiting loopholes.
>"if a lord of hell walks on earth heaven will start sending angels, and at that point we both know youll lose"
>"deal, no lords of hell"
>proceeds to corrupt humans into monsters, send mindless beasts and command no-mark demons to lead them
>"you said no LORDS of hell, Im not breaking the contract, all the lords of hell are still in hell"
>in response to this God ups their game but doesnt break the rules, instead of directly sending angels they provide miracles and visions, bit not so much so that it looks like god is just puppetting an opposition, humans still have free will
Something like that. Hell is seriously into contracts, they even let people go to heaven if they fulfil a criteria, and you can weaken a demon by speaking its real name, even when it is counter to their ambitions. Heaven and hell are bound by intangible rules and god/heaven is just staying strictly within the margins where hell is exploiting unspecifics in verbage.
>>
>>94759730
A specific related question on the Wretches; how the hell do they not go to hell after killing someone in desperation. Or do they go to hell either way? I understand hell being good on their deal, but apart from I suppose purgatory, which is better than hell, there is no way any of them are going to heaven.
>>
>>94759957
Probably a loophole that they didnt intend to fulfil. The odds of wretches actually managing to do something monumental feels more like a trick to try and get them to even attempt those things where they wouldnt otherwise
>see that communicant? If you kill that you will be granted freedom, youll even go to heaven. Look Ive written it into a contract, ill keep my word.
Where it seems like an incentive for these guys to even attempt it, not with the goal of giving them their freedom, they just have to fulfil their end because its in the contract and they stick to their contracts. Heaven also seems bound by these rules and has to oblige them, not sure how they would feel about letting a guy in who actively fought against heavens forces. They get to sit at the gate or something, tehcnically in the plain of heaven but not actually inside the kingdom.

>>94760062
I really like that, a bunch of poor souls given the shitiest deal imaginable but having a sliver of chance to earn a consolation prize in the form of purgatory in the afterlife. I also really like that the demons do good on their deal and just let them go, wonder what other odd contracts they might've formed in all this time.
>>
>>94758247
Yep,
Other anon is bullshitting. Plenty of evidence of Divine Intervention.
God is real and very much kicking, he just doesn't get involved in the affairs of mortals very much.
Why? Might be because of what the other anon said about contracts, and even Heaven having to obey some rules. Maybe God doesn't care? If a third of Mankind fell to Hell, the remaining two thirds will have to prove they're worthy of Salvation?
Maybe it's part of some impossible to comprehend 776D mega IQ plan, and everything is actually under control.
Who knows?

It’s also fairly well stated that Trench Pilgrims are very much an unofficial fighting force; it’s all well and good to be fighting for god, but the NA likely have their orders to just shoot anyone on sight that isn’t them, since there’s always the potential they could just be heretics masquerading as worshippers, and they’re not supposed to be there. If you disobey commands like that you can’t blame the soldiers for treating you like a security threat. This in addition to their cultish and unique ways of showing devotion could also come off as blasphemous to normal NA practices like you stated.

Basically TP’s have it coming. NA on NA violence feels a little harder to justify, but everything else has plausible reasoning

>>
>>94761168
NA on NA violence feels fairly justifiable in that NA is made up of tons of different groups from all over. With them all being fairly heavily steeped in their religion and views, you have no idea what can happen out on the field

The one that seems hardest to justify to me is IS on IS battles. Although I'm well aware that Islam also has its own sects and all, they seem far more unified as a faction and it's hard to imagine any circumstances of infighting asides from specific cases such as a Fida'i of Alamut warband that for whatever reason has an anti-IS mission

I can see Assassin vs Assassin fights as a way to dick measure each other while House of Wisdom mirrors are probably academic rivalries, but yeah vanilla IS infighting is probably the biggest stretch so far.

Yeah, NA have the fact that they're the product of various different countries who offer tithe, but all still act as countries and sometimes wage war on each other anyway. A battle could easily break out because one party is of the papal states and doesn't like the Eire's paganistic elements. And anything can be justified with a simple battle over who gets the resources located here or there to keep surviving

It's a 32mm scale game but the base sizes range from 28mm-60mm depending on the unit. That said most of the stuff ppl are using for mooks to build or proxy are 28mm anyways.
>>
With the new update, are cheap Trench Pilgrims just worse than cheap Yeomen and cheap Azebs? Before armor and other universal equipment, at 35 ducats, an Azeb has a Jezail and Alchemical ammunition, which gives him some substantial range, and a Yeoman gets a bolt action. At that price, the only ranged option a Trench Pilgrim has is a musket, but those things kind of suck and it looks like it'd be more worthwhile to go with a pistol and melee option at a higher price.
>>
>>94764721
There needed to be something to differentiate yeomen and pilgrims. I personally would not have gone the rout of discounting the yeoman's basic gun, but I guess it's supposed to represent it being the standard issue weapon which I get. I think a rule that represents that yeomen actually have non-zero training unlike a pilgrim would have made more sense.
>>
>>94764757
Isnt that what fireteams represent? That they are more trained and coordinated. Seems like the change was a way to actually get people to use bolt action bayonets, as before, it was better to just eat the cost and give them a better weapon than a bolt action. Now they are actually just a core ranged unit of the faction focused on fighting at range.

TP are a more close range focused faction, where NA gets a cheap bolt action for long range on its chaff, TP gets stuff like the warcross and flails for theirs. Both cost only 5 points and are pretty good, assault on the warcross and no range penalty incentivises TP chaff to get into close range rather than sit back and shoot like NA, and the flail gives a chaff unit +1dice to their chance to hit. For 5 points thats pretty damn good when you can give it to all your pilgrims for that miniscule cost.
>>
>>94764757
Just feels kind of weird when the Trench Pilgrims look more like the average guy who felt compelled to go to war from powers on high and you have to pay more for them to be effective. It's a little inconvenient that polearms are 3 ducats more for Trench Pilgrims when they're more geared for close quarters, but they do get the flail at 5. It makes me kind of wish that Trench Pilgrims could get some kind of alternate ammunition like buck and ball to add a +1 to hit at close range for the musket or something, but then again that'd still make them more expensive than the other cheap faithful guys.
>>
>>94765039
I think their main benefit is not their stats and weapon options but their ability to ressurect. It allows you to get reckless with them and even gear them with more expensive items, as the ressurection cost is a flat 40 ducats, so even if the unit is equipped with reinforced armour, a flamethrower, a sheild and a flail while also wearing a helmet and has a med pack when they die, you only spend that flat 40 and they come back as a stronger unit.

So you equip some guys as dissposables as they are just bums who showed up to the expedition and they have cheap gear, but also equip some guys as budding heroes who you intend to ressurect to have better stats and upgrade to elite status. That flat 40 cost can make it so you get far more value than the unit is worth and also save a lot of money so you can start upgrading gear more aggresively.
>>
>>94765132
That is one of their biggest strengths, but it's a shame that it's limited to campaigns. In pick up games, they lose a lot of that capability. I'm also not sure how to change anything about them that'd make them more decent in a one off game that wouldn't make them too strong in a campaign.
>>
>>94765199
I imagine if they did wargames the martyr version would just be a unit you can field outright, so If you want to play a one off game with them just treat the game as though its in its second stage, and pay the extra 40 for any martyr pilgrims you want to play with.
>>
>>94765269
Was it 40? I thought it was 45, or was there new errata I missed? And would it be 45+30? Because 70-75 ducats is a lot of cash for grunts, even if they remove a die from injuries and add a die for melee.
>>
>>94765303
It is 45, youre right. Yea its a lot for a grunt, if it was cheap it would be a no brainer to take it I suppose, and you can just consider this as a sort of "you can do this, but its a really bad idea to do it for a lot of pilgrims because its expensive" sort of hurdle.

Consider; Undead are hard to kill because they have -1 to injuries by default, where the tradeoff for this is that those units do not have access to weapons or are heavily capped in capacity, but they can still hold their own due to that survivability. The martyr pilgrims have no cap, and have the same -1 to injries except for them fire doesnt ignore it like it does for the undead, they also get the +1 to melee AND can use any weapon in the arsenal. For a one off game its something you have to consider for yourself if its worth taking cheaply equipped bums to have 10 guys on the table, or paying the cost and taking a few martyr pilgrims even if it means only 8 guys on the table. For the one off games youll absoloutely have the points to spend for TP since they only have 3 really cheap elites compared to other warbands.
>>
>>94765442
It does feel a bit like the Trench Pilgrims are a faction of various elites and specialists, even with the grunts. The Trench Pilgrim grunts are one death away from being an exceptionally tanky melee fighter. The Stigmatic Nuns are basically diet Communicants that can actually shoot. Even the Ecclesiastic Prisoners have the unique ability to be a serious threat to anything on the field, no matter how big it is.
Then again, maybe that's the point? They are God's chosen, after all.

Literally just a big throwing star, they come in all shapes and sizes, they are also known as "wurfkreuz". Since some places you werent allowed to carry weapons people just carried a cross, that was big and sharp. Theres also some history with them that they were used to execute people accused of heresy, where the knife was left in the victim with their crimes written on it and the courts ruling so if someone at any point discovers the body and a knife in it they know what it is.

They could totally do something with an alternate warband that focuses on this stuff, where they give buffs to the war cross as a weapon of choice and abide by some court, where you can pick a different flavour of throwing cross that assigns a "crime" it is punishing and it changes how the weapon works
>upgraded cross has the profile of a club and can be wielded, and picks a trait that applies when thrown:
>Condemn undead: when attacking undead it behaves like a flame weapon and ignores their -1 to injury rule
>Condemn greed: ignores 2 armour
>Condemn wrath: +1 dice to injury rolls on units with STRONG.
>Condemn pride: +1 to dice rolls when attacking an elite
etc.
>>
>>94765026
You're very limited on fire teams so it's not a good representation imo. Unfortunately due to the dice math it's hard to give them better stats.

Although now that you mention it, something like a Yeomen Fireteams rule where yeomen can always group activate with other yeomen might be a good way.

You know the forces of hell have a navy right? Sure there's a massive ocean on the way but you best believe no one would let a landmass of that size go free to the enemy.
I also see no benefit in including the americas into the current equation, there's already enough to build on as it is and if they want to expand to it they can in the near future.
>>
>>94772454
You couldn't really have the US and Canada exist in the setting without fucking up the balance of power. The ability to levy men and resources from the entire North American continent would be a massive boon to whichever faction secured it, which would probably be the forces of Hell since they have the far superior navy. You'd probably need to have them involved in civil wars between faithful and heretic forces, at which point you've strayed from the "WW1 Crusade in the Holy Land" aesthetic which is at the core of the setting.
