Trench Raiding With The Lads 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 notTC 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:https://www.trenchcrusade.com/rules/They used to be split between the website and the discord, but no more. For posterity's sake, the old mega will still be kept active even if it's unlikely to need updating: https://mega.nz/folder/70QH0BBa#Eg-blxYQKkY_C02wErnFTQ>third party sources for making trenchers:https://pastebin.com/YzXPVUAc>Trench Compendiumhttps://trench-companion.com/>Previous Thread:>>97190110>Thread QuestionWhat are you looking forward to in 2026? TC content? Some new model kit? End of the World?
I hear people say that TC tries to hard and is too edgy, what is your take on this?
>>97256201TC has become a magnet for whiners who complain about anything. It's a grimdark religious/WW1/WW2 horror game. It's not going to be soft with it's edges, but I don't think it's trying to hard. Read some of the lore documents/lore primer yerself is all I can suggest.
>remembers TC exists>wonder how it's going>check kickstarter, news, /tg/>mfwOh, it's a "has golden hen in their hands but strangles it to death out of retardation" episode. Again.
>>97256250I keep seeing stuff like this and never actually know what theyre talking about.Its a completed game, the rules got made finalized and released for free. I dont get it, is it because it didnt beat warhammer? The franchise that has 30 years world of books, videogames, model ranges, rulesets and fanbases that grew up with it? Come on man. Play somethinbg other than Warhammer, theres a lot out there like TC and its such a shame that everything just defaults back to comparisons to them.
>>97256274No it's because they released nothing besides a rushed rulebook, a bunch of images, and broken, low quality models. It's just the same old thing when a new company has a golden opportunity in their hands, then aggressively shit their pants and throw it away that keeps happening for some reason.Also, notice at no point I've made any mention of 40k and yet you still brought it up for some reason. It sounds like you're the one with a chip on your shoulder here.
>>97256274Watch out for the concern trolls. They infest this place. Keep a lookout for the signature phrases, like rugpull and astroturf.
>>97256189Obligatory new thread update on the Companion.We've managed to push the campaign out before the new year, luckily most errors are just things that are supposed to update live, but require a reload, so we'll be able to very quickly get to work on our next major app update: Play Mode.Essentially our plan is a digital tracker to help keep things sorted while playing a game> Track whats been activated (ie, single-use items, CONSUMABLE equipment, TOUGH keyword)> View your active warband with all the fluff (campaigns, buttons to add stuff, empty selections) removed> Track victory conditions and glorious deeds> Post-game helper to let you quickly gain Glory, gain ex/skills/injuries/etcIf there's anything else that seems fitting for this feature - feel free to let me know.
>>97256313It sounds less like theyre throwing it away and rather you wanting it to die because it wasnt a 10/10. I hate this mentality anon, I want more tabletop settings and games, we arent going to get that when people piss and shit as soon as one gains traction but isnt done to a standards worthy of prestige.Not even saying there wasnt problems, but holy shit is it blown out of proportion. >liked seeing everyone making their own models and getting creative, they also found uses for those 3rd party STLs that you would otherwise never have a use for>NO the official STL prints were from a bad distrubutor fuck this game and fuck the developers and their shitty rushed rules that took 3 years, it shouldve took 10 like a real gameThis shit is depressing, Im not even defending the bad stuff, but jesus christ tabletop as a medium is fucked because of shit like this. Seems people just want to buy merch, not make something themselves for a game.
>>97256201If it was truly edgy they wouldn’t be banning Le heckin chuds off the official forums, discord and servers.
>>97256274You’re dealing with one of the resident troll retards in here doing GW’s dirty work for free. >If their position reflected reality, their propaganda would be unnecessary
>>97256426Just a note, it seems as though issuing the pontifex’s crucifix in a Papal States warband costs three glory even though the first one is free.
>>97256313>broken, low quality modelsSpare us your dramatic hyperbole.
