Games Workshop is in Serious. Fucking. Trouble.
>>96818383Like Games Workshop these could be approximated more cheaply. I like the angel dude, the rest are kind of ugmo but like 40k...it's an ugmo game for ugmos
>>96818383Call me when those models are EM4 plastic dwarf/plastic orc prices. Then your statement might genuinely hold water.
>>96818457I think the winged guy just looks like a 40k knockoff, but I love the Hauptmann.
>>96818383Why? Cos some third party made imperial guard knockoffs?
>>96818526>the beast is afraid
>>96818521The winged guy does not belong in Prussia.
>>96818383Looks more more like Warmachine than anything GW-made. Maybe except for Feldkaplan, who wouldn't look too out of place in 40k.
>>96818383>Games Workshop is in serious fucking trouble because *checks notes* a FotM game focused on kitbashing and converting, with playerbase barely bigger than the Mordheim's one, is getting a plastic set of 8 (eight) monopose minisUnless they charge a eurobuck per mini I hardly see a reason to get excited here. TC is an okayish game at best as well, and suffers from the same no-game fanbase syndrome as Warhammer. People mostly deal with this franchise for the modelling aspect rather than gameplay itself.
>>96818589This kit is 60$
>>96818383>unit leader is a foidbig trouble
>>96818623Lol, lmao even. In any other case I would bash the company that commissioned the minis for requesting such a high and predatory price but since we are talking about Trench Crusade here, I fully support milking the edgy whales dry.
>>96818623
>>96818589>>96818623
>>96818623GW IN SHAMBLES
>>96818383Why? There are dozens of companies that make cooler and higher quality models than GW. Warhammer drones don't care
>>96818623For that amount of money, I would expect quality more akin to a proper scale kit, but maybe I'm autistic like that.
>>96818623>>96818918Should have had more minis in the box if such prices are going to be charged.
>>96818383>P*ussians
>>96818623$60, I'll guess that's US which puts it about... £44-45-ish?Anon, I could discount my own bits boxes from two, nearly three decades in this hobby and go searching through various bits sites and marketplaces and wind up with a near-identical team for £15-20, tops. That's about $25 or so dollars, napkin math. Even factoring in postage, it would not be more than £30 in total.
>>96818623LMAO MAOThe models look like something you'd get from a polish recaster. 40k didn't get big by making overpriced models. They sold cheaply to start with with even cheaper blister pack models then after being an established sci-fi icon they milked the paypigs. a classic blunder
>>96818383being in the hobby since 1990, its amazing how many Warhammer killers there have been
>>96818623When you can print 50 minis for 1l of resin, it's really really hard to keep the facade. You don't want to eat GW facade, but you are ok eating other brand's facade.The other anon is right, it's fucking plastic, 1 euro/dollar per mini should be cheap, 2 is standard quality, 3 is premium.Bear in mind my 50 resin printed are already premium.You are paying 60 bucks for 9 minis?Scammed
i had a look at trench crusade the other day, went immediately for my favourite factions:>cute elves, evil elves, vampires and werewolves, funny fighting guys, funny monster guys...it's just humans and daemons. the human troops barely look any different thematically than the daemon troops. it's just 40k with only IG and Daemon factions. who is this made for again? half of our gaming store is adults bringing in their kids for pokemon cards. there is no way the owner will let us play some bdsm R 18+ satanic shit. the IG stereotype is retarded nazi guy who loves tanks, and the Chaos stereotype is weird freak. it's no wonder this game had so much problems with publicity and its discord, look at your gameworld and look who you are attracting. the designers should've just leaned into it 100% and set the game during ww2.
>>96819453They always produce something cool and then -ACK!>>96819600Probably, but maybe it's good that games cater to different people rather than everything trying to appea to everyone. A lot of modern entertainment doesn't resonate with me but I don't take it personally like some peple do. What I do miss is quality.
>>96818623So instead of stealing GW's business, they're just stealing their price tags?
>>96818383I am going to be honest. Trench Crusade shot itself in the foot before it even really came out. I don't think it will last too long. Plus it way to edgy to be taken seriously. I swear, it clear the creators have no idea what they wanted to do outside make Edgy Heavy Metal Posters of their setting and all.
>>96819453No one is calling Trench Crusade a Warhammer Killer except false flag GWfags trying to make the players look embarrassed out of insecure tribalism, such as OP.
>>96818623behold: the games workshop killercant even be fucked to undercut gw’s astronomically inflated prices like every other wargame on the market
>>96818383TC already failed to be the warhammer fans wanted. Also they are as expensive.
>>96818623I can get lookalike 3dprints for pennies in my Post Soviet shithole.
>archon
>>96818383nazi minis are a tiny market
>>96821209Then GW wouldn't have grown as much as they did.
>>96821198These minis being manufactured by Archon is the only good thing about this announcement.>B-but they fucked up some Scamstarter project in the pa-I don't care. Their He-man game and minis are cool as fuck and their Kings of War kits are of good quality.
>>96818383>tacticool sandbags on every single modelHoly FUCK this is ass
>>96821449>tactical sandbagsnew meme just dropped
>>96818383>ugly female officerWhy would I want this DEI bullshit if I was getting away from 40K for that?
>>96821449>>96821453The stosstruppen has a tactical sandbag AND a tactical rock xhe's balancing between lmao
>>96818563Check the coat of arms of prussia and report back.
>>96818563Dumbest post I’ve read all week.
>>96818383They sued Gamakh for much less
>>96820481>Trench Crusade shot itself in the foot before it even really came outHow, exactly?
>>96818383They sued Gamakh for stuff like this, good luck to goonhammer
>>96818623that price tag is beyond moronic. yes plastic molds are expensive I get it but at that price it's dead on arrival.
>>96821517They said "we don't like racism and mysoginy", which is an outrageous far-left extremist propagandist view, appalling and contemptible!
>>96818383Mmm yes, a box of even more expensive minis for an even more cucked game with a tiny even gayer fanbase. I'm sure GW are all a-quiver.
>>96821517They genuinely believe this sort of thing: >>96821530 except in their mind "racism and misogyny" means not being a bisexual dogfucking leatherdaddy drag queen in a six person polycule. Their deranged discord mods were literally banning people who happened to join in the wake of an Arch video talking about him liking the setting because they *might* have been right wingers, then banning anyone who said they thought that approach was a bit excessive, and then went full Stalin Purge and started doxing people so they could comb their social media for wrongthink and ban them for that.
>>96819600>it's no wonder this game had so much problems with publicity and its discordNew to it, what were these?
>>96821928Oh lol. Standard discord stuff. Glad I stay out of that noise.
>>96821928That was Mag28, not Trench Crusade (although the TC people expressed confidence in Mag28’s policies).
>>96821517TC started picking up bunch of followers that were disgruntled with 40k and looking for new alternative, people in charge somehow concluded that's a bad thing and started renouncing/banning these newcomers en masse.If you remember what Warmachine did between 2nd and 3rd edition it's pretty similar to that. Basically GW's players have gained such infamy people making other games would rather go under than have them.
>>96821928>>96822066Don't forget that after doing all this they blamed "the chuds" for their game not hitting market targets and claimed there was a concerted PR campaign against them
>>96822257I would blame using a concept so contemptible to muslims and christians (but not jews of course, lol), and hell anyone who’s a lapsed muslim or christian, that it chases away anyone with even an ounce of religion or common decency left in them. And then they chase away 40k fans who think its not “edgy enough,” aka the ONLY AUDIENCE FOR THIS GAME and get surprised it fails.
>>96822444>but not jews of courseIsn't there a Legion of Moloch?
>>96822458i cant tell if you’re joking but if they made jews moloch worshippers then they’ve out-chudded most of the target audience
>>96821928That too. Though I was going to go on with that there is no real lore and you can just make everything up and it just as canon as the real shit. That and to be honest the lore they did have made no fucking sense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzK3U0N6BwcArch kind of explained it perfectly so watch if you care. But it was clear as day that it just to make edgy art pieces and minis over bothering with the lore to make sense what going on in the world.
>>96818383Yes.But not on account of some trannies trying to make off with a piece of the pie.GW's real problems are ALL internal.Any external forces are just symptoms of them dropping the ball.
>>96822529Most 40k clones are like thatHelldivers is a surface level copy of Starship Troopers/Paranoia/1984/40k and its jokes get old super fast because it barely has anything new to saySpace King is Warhammer but more funnyI don't even know what happened with project Morningstar but it looked pretty derivative.Gone are the days of settings like Mutant Chronicles and Urban Warfare that tried having their own lore. Why bother when you can just vaguely reference le warhammer and 40kids will fill in the blanks for you?
>>96822609if 40k goes down a lot of other games will too. people hate 40k but honestly even with its sloppification the barrier to entry still is high enough to wall out most undesirables (mtg and yugioh players).
>>96818383The developers said im not allowed to play their game.
It's so funny seeing the tears from you histrionic losers every time anything new comes out. You are so repugnant to everyone on this earth.
>>96818383Looks great except for the distractingly unsubtle not-space-marine
>>96818623>everyone pretending this is expensive
>>96818623YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO RIP OFF *THAT* PART OF GW
>>96822751>valuing a box of plastic at $60yikes.
>>96818383>literally all but one model in "one foot on rock pose"lmfao, no thanks
>>96822668The call is coming from inside the house.
>>96818623It’s $49.99. Literally was not available for sale when you posted this. Amazing how you just lied and nobody even bothered to check. Still overpriced.
>>96822066>>96822257Wasn’t it just Arch’s weirdo fanbase?>>96822529>Arch explained it perfectlylol, yes it was then
>>96823673>"Arch's weirdo fanbase"Nobody tell him.It's funnier that way.
>>96818383feldkaplan especially looks like copyright infringement
>>96822834It’s ok when GW does it Not that it makes a big difference but it is actually listed for $49.99 burger bucks. It’s amazing how much this board claims to hate GW, but any time competition comes out everyone is slobbering on James’ knob. Unless it’s all just pajeet bot posting like the rest of this godforsaken website
>>96821482Check out "famous iconic and distinguishing military armors" and give us a report.
>>96824296>It’s ok when GW does itIt really isn’t, which is what makes it feel almost insulting when other companies not nearly as big as GW think they can get away with it.
>>96823896Arch is not synonymous with /tg/ and never will be you pathetic faggot.
>>96824296>any time competition comes out everyone is slobbering on James’ knobThere are no competiton. That's the problem.Competition is "the same product, but better, or cheaper".All "competition" around is flat out "different product, variable quality, kinda cheaper"The chinese copies is competition.
>>96821530>they said "we don't like racism and mysoginy"Why the FUCK would you say that
bump
>>96818383>Distributed from PolandLmao good luck
>>96818623The string of reactions proves that Geedubs is 100% dependent on brand to get away with silly prices, anybody less established just looks like a gouger even if they're a little bit cheaper.
>>96831450GW has 40 years of history, their own factories and a global distribution networkTC is a kickstarter campaign based on some guy's artstation and is shipping out of a contracted shit hole that adds another $15 minimum to the already GW tier price tag
>>96823673No, it was a deranged overreaction to the prospect of Arch's fanbase publicly liking the product. They were so desperate to avoid being in the same room as a Chud they were basically running up to anyone who opened the door and slamming it in their face while screeching incoherent ravings about their potential motivations - they let a boogeyman live in their head rent free and were so driven by the paranoia it created that now outside of instagram poofter fanbases their deranged overreaction is all they're known for.And it's not just an online thing either, there's been a guy at my local club who's been trying to make TC a Thing there for the last three months and a solid third of the refusals are people who're just not interested in "the drama game".
>>96831511It seemed to work out for them; they're releasing their first multipart hard plastic kit, and planning to release more. Sorry you don't feel represented.
Hey, Jarek, I get you keep making these shill threads, that's great, but listen. Your marauder sculpt from the Starcraft reveal? It's trash. Fix the face, let the dude you commissioned to paint it finish the job before ripping it out of his hands. Thanks. You can pay me back for this consulting by shipping me a launch box for the starcraft miniatures game. And before I go - dont promise nine years minimum support before you've sold your first launch box that's way too up your own ass
>>96821465That's like, double tactical! That's 100% more tactic per tactic! How do we do it? We dirtmud the whole sandbag!
>>96827878It used to be an acceptable opinion to have: at some point being non-racist was normalized.
ermmm did you know the 97% of tabletop gamers are queer demi romantic and disabled???? Yikes... wait till bluesky hearsh about this!
>>96831649Those were dark times indeed
>>96831649Outside of North American and Western Europe Servers maybe.Everywhere else in the world we still had competitive racism
>>96831530yikes, it's retard lol
>>96818383>doesn't include all the unit options>monopose minis with 2 choices of loadout each, not a proper multi-part kit>$50 for 8 infantry dudes, basically GW pricingIt's a resounding "meh" from me, chief.
How many are going to build the Hauptmann, and how many are going to build the Hauptfrau, do we all think?
>>96818383With people getting fatigued with GW prices and the amount of 3rd party minis and how much better 3D printing has gotten in recent years having only 8 minis costing $50-$60 is not worth it.
>>96818383It's the same depression circle jerk as 40k with the only difference being the catholic shit is way less subtle.
