Duck and Cover!>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game. 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, and it's very Blanchitsu.>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/YzXPVUAcUse these (and/or 3D printing) instead of the official plastics as their pricing contradicts the accessibility to the game (price wise) Trench Crusade was founded on.>Trench Companion, awesome warband builder and campaign trackerhttps://trench-companion.com/>Previous Thread:>>97942110>Thread QuestionFavorite Unit and Why
New to this thread, are there any non-Chrirstian and non-Satanist factions like Muslims, Jews, Zoroastrians, etc.?
>>98091773Followup, are there Eastern Orthodox or Protestant factions? Or is it all Catholic+Satanic?
>>98091773Iron Sultanate are Muslim, and they've been pretty open about plans for Hebrew Knights as a faction if and when they figure out how to do it in a way that's not stereotyping. Tuomas talks pretty often about how doing Christians is easy for Europeans to do, but the further out you get from Eurocentric cultures the harder it is to do accurately
>>98091838Thanks anon
>>98091773>Iron Sultanate is the representatives of the Muslim world>Hebrew Knights are a planned upcoming faction, there are mercs such as Scripture Guardians that are clearly Kabbalic/Golem magic>The Church had a significant pivot in this setting. Most areas of Orthodox presence have been annihilated (Constantinople is in Heretic hands and/or destroyed), and while there have been internal church conflicts, there has been no mention of a Protestant Reformation. The timeline hints at a syncretic orthodox bible, so it's possible The Great Schism was put aside given the circumstances.
>>98091736>Favorite Unit and whyAnchorite Shrine, hands down. The model is chunky and heavy, it's tough as hell and makes opponents shit themselves in fear as it approaches and it explodes pretty much any other model on contact once you make it there. Mine is called Weight of your Sins, pic related
>>98091838>Iron Sultanate are MuslimArent they more pre-islam Persian?
Will the plastic Naval Raiders in the Carcass Front box release separately at any point?The Shark guy is what pushed me over the edge, but I'm not sure about wanting to get the Pilgrim side.
>>98091773Muslims are in, jews somewhere in the future. Zoroastrians are most likely all dead.
>>98092537Not really. If anything, they are more ottoman in their inspiration. Because ottomans took part in ww1.
>>98092537They are a mix of Muslim Arabia, Persian, and Ottoman.Makes sense since the Hellgate incident happened before Muslims would have had time to culturally consolidate the region.
Running Infernal Ammo on Machine Gun fells so good desu.>>98091773For Muslims you have the Iron Sultanate. The sultanate have a sub faction called the House of Wisdom that are alchemists/mages capable of creating all sort of homunculi, and the Sultanate tolerates them because their knowledge with medicine, weapon forging and the homunculi are very useful. They also have another sub faction of Assassins with the whole Old Man of The Mountain. Would like maybe some protestant coded subfaction based on the Salem Witch Trial tho, even if the Protestant Reform never happened.
>>98092981How did i not notice the chorister has a shark, also they will almost definitely get a box release because both warbands are formatted in the exact same way as the prussian box, 700points 2 elites, and some regular troops, also it makes sense that they're doing sultanate assassins next then because it'd be easiest with the units as it wouldnt need a more monstrous unit in the box
