Now that Trench Crusade has moved onto $85 USD bespoke plastic kits, what’ll game will take its place as the “3D Printer goo Brrrrr” GW Killer??
trench crusade isn't really a warhammer killer, it's even more niche.also, don't act as if TC is going to transition into selling boxed sets from now on, they are testing the waters
>>96899947No STLs for you. Buy!
>>96899955>haha yeah whatever we can just pass around STLs and play the game and have fun>...on second thought, people not paying for every mini they print is bad and wrong and unsustainable>buy our kits or fuck offAnd just like that: It's dead.
>>96899955got me there, I didn't know that.screw the dev team.
>>96899955Maybe it's changed but isn't TC model agnostic? Nobody's forcing you to buy their shit not yet at least.
>>96900002For now. From what I’ve heard, their Discord server is imploding right now and no-one is getting a straight answer.
>>96900002They do not host any events or own any stores so they cannot enforce any rules around their miniatures.Any rules around miniatures will be confirmed if they do a Trench Crusade tournament etc.
>>96900843Unfortunately a lot of tournament organizers are corporate dicksuckers even when they don't have to be. The guys doing the big Alpha Strike tournaments at cons have a rule where you have to use official plastic CGL models (not even the older official IWM metals), just because they include that kind of rule for their 40k tournaments. In their haste to suckle at the corporate cock, they even fucked that up since the CGL models were licensed from IWM at the time, meaning minis made by the rights holder were banned but licensed minis from the rules publishers weren't. These guys jump through hoops the game makers aren't even putting in front of them.
>>96901385>Unfortunately a lot of tournament organizers are corporate dicksuckers even when they don't have to be.Pretty sure 99% of the time it's just laziness. You really think a TO wants to argue the minutiae of what is what with the kind of autistic sperg that shows up to most TT tournaments? No, of course not, so they just stick the "official" rules because it gives them an easy built-in yes/no they can use without much thought or having to explain to the local scalefag that his pin-up skink futas aren't appropriate.
>>96899963But at least we owned the chuds right comrade?
>>96899924Where did you get $85 kits, anon? I can only see the Prussians for $50 on their website.
>>96899924The only reason GW is able to do $85 kits is because the box is branded as GW. That's it. The people making TC are nobodies in regards to GW so selling kits at GW prices won't be sustainable.Also being able to just print their minis yourself was seen as one of the massive positives they had, but now >>96899955 they seem to turning away from that.Also the community fucking sucks, very glad I hesitated on buying anything from TC, turned out to be hot dogshit and is rapidly getting worse.
>>96899924Oh boy, the newest tournaments and game cons sure are filled with TC games!
the ridiculous ammount of terrain needed to play this shit is just ridiculous so 90% of the people slightly interested in it just don't bother. Now that 1.0 is out, they'll just give some shit STL releases just to fulfill the kickstarter goals and not get sued to oblivion while seeling plastic kits at GW prices and abandoning the game after retards buy them
>>96904568>40kiddies when the L-shaped perspex terrain and objective plates isn't considered the peak of hobbying effort
>>9690403635 dollar shipping.
>>96904877Attach image challenge impossible
>>96904877Where do you live that shipping is that much?
>>96904881God bless the USA
>>96904892>>96904879Expedited shipping is the only option?
>>96904895Yup
>>96904900That is turbo bullshit.
>>96904908Don’t say that is the discord, you’ll be kicked
>>96904879I didn't believe this is true so I went and checked, and it is real. What a way to kill your game, what were they thinking?
>>96901968A plausible but imaginary reason. There's not that minutiae. I agree with the other poster that people are just kind of cocksuckers.Do magic players get weird about proxies in casual pick up games because it's a hassle to TO? I don't think so, I think people who naturally want what's "official" are loud and annoying and the average person doesn't think for himself.
>>96905061The fleeced all they could from the Proonter audience so they’re moving onto the plastics one, hoping they’re so used to GW pricing that they won’t notice their kits are a worse deal than GW.
>>96904009We should have told them it would have REALLY pissed us off if they killed themselves. Then they'd have really show us! We'd be SOOOO PEEVED if they killed themselves.
>insta ban on their discord for everyone that talks about STLslmaoI hope these money hungry fucks rot away
>>96905879Don’t worry the Discord is now firmly “3D Printers are evil cancer machines and only plastics are good” pilled now.
>>96907284They really turned into the exact kind of 40kfags that they banned during all that drama, huh? Didn't even last a whole year before succumbing to cancer because they refused to keep using 3d printers lmao
>>96907328Exactly. They turned in the Printer People as soon as their masters told them too.
>>96904877You can't really get mad at them about the shipping lol.
>>96905879>insta ban on their discord for everyone that talks about STLsWow that's fucked.
>>96899924This is sad. I guess it's never a good idea to support a game you like too much.
>STL vs expensive official plasticsIsn't the entire point to kitbash/scratchbuild your own models?
>>96907966That was the idea originally for this and those other "artsy" grimderp games like Turnip. The game was a thin excuse for modeling projects. I guess they've run out of excuses to not advance the actual game part of it and so started selling models. Never buy your games and models from the same source, as they say.
>>96904879>The GW kit is actually better value, even before shipping.How the hell did they mess that up?
>>96908856Such a narrow vision. Piggies gonna pig. Check their thred right here. Either you pay top dolla or ur a jeet das rite.
>>96907284>>96907878Kill all discordniggers.
>>96899924Live Gw offices reaction
I have the official STLs and there are about 10 different non-official STL sets for every warband and variant in the game already. Printfags are not going to buy the plastics and printerless poorfags will just get recasts from the third world so all is good. If they want the plastics to be more popular they really need to shave those prices down, including the outrageous postage fees.
