>My Ex 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?

>Thread Question:
What are the coolest gameplay moments you've seen shift a battle so far?

>>95990671 (OP)
i waited two minutes to update the thread on my warband progress
>TQ
when my sorcerer managed to best a heretic priest with only a trench knife, while he had a sac dagger, on top of a church
that was my first game too.
also the time my friend's battle nun walked up to my hellknight with -3 armor and casually rolled a 12 to injure with her pistol. Of course that was that friend's first game as well

>>95990671 (OP)
>TQ
Well it definitely wasn't the guy from three weekends ago telling me how he would "love to fuck an artillery witch, I bet she has mad demonic pussy under that skirt".

>>95991467
the way this chain is defying gravity is greatly triggering me

I had a game a few days ago where my heretic trooper armed pistol & trench club succeeded first a dash then a diving charge on a downed Brazen Bull with two blood markers. First attack with the club hits but only draws a blood marker, off-hand pistol attack burns the blood markers for bloodbath and takes the bull down for good.
After-action injury result for the bull ended up as "Lost an Eye", so we fluffed it as the trooper first clocking the bull in the head with the club to crack the helmet then blowing out the creature's eye with his pistol.

>>95991525
It's crusted stiff with HELL CUM

>>95991509
Well, he's not wrong.

>>95991722
Why would hell manufacture witches with fully functioning pussies?

>>95992621
For morale reasons.

> TQ
Any time puppet master goes off seems to be pretty pivotal.

Do you guys think a toy soldier could be used to make a Hell Knight with Ophidian Rifle?

>>95992879
Heretics get the coolest aesthetic. Heavenbros, your response?

>>95992975
If you have good conversion skills, I'd give it to you.
Not as is, tho.

>>95993362
I did my best but they look more like Anointed.
Maybe someday I'll try to fix them with a better paintjob and some more touch ups

>>95993426
I would have shaved down their faces, especially the mouths, and either used tape or greenstuff over the eyes.
Clip the edge of the helmets off, and put spikes on them.

>>95993507
I gave them gold-yellow masks mostly because the features looked very static and because different units in my force have gold-yellow masks

>>95992975
The look more like heretic legion troopers desu, depending on the guys they make good wretches as well

>>95993551
The faces don't quite look like masks, it's probably the big helmet making it harder to sell.

Does anyone have that fanart of both Paladins in one image?

>>95994425
damn, I even bothered making a notch with the modeling knife all around the face
alas, can't win them all

the masked boys all together

>>95994724
These all look pretty good except the army man guy. He doesn't really look big, he just looks like a scrawny dude at the wrong scale. And like the other anon said, the mask thing doesn't really come across like it does for the other models. Court is supposed to be anachronistic and medieval, and they still ultimately just look like army men with some bits glued on.

You could probably fix it, but it would require making a giant helmet and fuckhueg WoW pauldrons out of greenstuff for them.

>>95992621
Why would you not? Besides witches are known to sleep with demons for power. If Hell didn't intended their artillery support to be lewd they would be burly golems yeeting bombs, not feminine dolls in fancy dresses.

>Heretic Legion
>Lots of humans but demons run the show. The most "normal" bad guys
>The Cult of the Black Grail
>Mostly demons but some humans who are in the process of zombifying
>The Court of the Seven-Headed Serpent
>All demons all the time. Humans are treated as slaves meant for sacrifice
Am I getting that right?

>>95995532
Half-demons all the time. Full fledged demons aren't allowed within the bounds of creation because of some contract. If they move normally into creation, angels can come down to fight them.

>>95995532
So the Demons are mostly bickering fools.
One of them has his shit together, his name is Beelzebub and he made the Cult of the Black Grail.
The Heretic Legions do most of the work, most of the war, and some of them are ascending to a higher daemonic state of being.

...the Court is "the forces of the rest of the Demons", those who do NOT have their shit together and bicker and whine all the time.
Most of these warbands are lead by demonic entities who were demoted, humiliated, and sent to accomplish some idiotic errand on Earth. They hate being there and they hate themselves.
To send a demonic entity on Earth the Court needs to find a willing demon and have him fuck an animal. Then the halfbreed offspring can walk the Earth.

If you read between the lines the Court is almost the comic relief faction.

>>95993193
Those guys look pretty neat!

>>95995532
With the cult, other than the heralds which are demon-flies absorbing some poor shmuck, all the models we have are humans that were turned.

You can think of it as one demon, beelzebub, grabbing humans and using them as the putty/clay for his own horrible kind of creatures.

has anyone used a printing service to print their TC? how did that go?

>>95996053
Nice art!

Right, had game 3 of my campaign happen recently and I'm in a pickle.
My ranged hell Knight with obsidian rifle lost an eye plus I lost my hellpit locust and a wretch.
However I gained the book of golem so I have a homonculous I don't know how to build. If i could I would have given it the obsidian rifle. I also got 170 creds so I have 3 options.
>get a third hellknight to use the rifle
>get a hunter of left handed path
>go balls in and get a desecrated saint so I can promote it to elite as soon as possible.

Also that hellpit deserves death... it failed 3 attacks on an objective at +2 dice
It also sucks coz after 3 games I only have 1 glory.

>>95997488
The rifle is "Ofidian", not "Obsidian" - it means it's a "Snakey" rifle

>>95997498
i got yer snakey rifle right here lmao

>>95997498
Oops, always called it obsidian, mabad

>>95996898
the plague hounds are actual dogs that got turned, and amalgams are giant mishmash piles of literally any organic matter that was nearby that they happened to throw into a giant pile of diseased goop. but yes, most of them are (or at least were) partially human.

>34 posts in 24 hours
This game is so dead.

>>95997727
a grim prospect - rather dark, even

Looks like the next update will be the finished game, to be printed. That means it likely won't be released for a few months yet though. We're near the finish line, lads.

>>95993193
These look amazing, what are you running them as? And is it a kit ash or an STL from somewhere

>>95997784
I love the Church of Metamorphosis. Hope they make models of them

>>95997698
Are dogs worth it? What benefits do they provide more generally other than mercy dogs? At 2 glory (for dog+specialization) they seem really bad for what they bring to the table overall other than being a dog

>>95991525
>>95991546
have a little update in exchange for (you)s :)
also, it is a lust warband so the crusting makes sense

>>95998521
The glory-based addon dogs don't seem worth it to me. Grail hounds are 55 ducats though and are great speedy distraction units. The disease carrier rule draws a lot of enemy attention, which helps everyone else arrive in melee safely.

>>95998521
Grail dogs are great, they auto infect what they are in contact with. If youre using Dirge the infection markers can be used to give free turns to some units, and theyre larger profile means they can effectively block multiple units.
t. had this happen in a game against me, theyre really annoying

Id play BG if it wasnt for the aesthetic. Ive never been a fan of "its just gore on everything" factions in anything.

>>95999088
Speaking of the dogs. Is there any large plastic dogs to recommend for making stuff? I was going to use wargs from MESBG but wondering if theres others.

>>95990671 (OP)
>thread question

Heretic Legions (me) vs. Eire Rangers, they were pushing back and locking me down pretty handedly in a No Man’s Land game. Heretic Priest managed to dash, throw grenades, charge, smack his lieutenant with blasphemous staff and knock him down, then puppet mastered him off the building, stripping tough with bloodbath before he fell to his death. Definitely one of my favourite moments so far

Could a brother get some feedback on a homebrew heretic legion?

1. Any model that doesn’t have the “Artificial” key word may purchase an upgrade for 10 Ducats.
This upgrade grants +1” Move.

2. Heretic Priests of this warband gain the Strong keyword.

3. This warband may not include Wretched.

4. Models in this warband may never use the Retreat action to leave melee.

5. Models in this warband may never gain the Fireteam keyword under any circumstance.

6. This Warband may not take flamethrowers, incendiary ammunition, gas grenades or incendiary grenades, and are limited to 1 Heavy Flamethrower.

7. Heretic Troopers and Legionnaires may never be equipped with armour of any kind.

8. Anointed are limited to 3 instead of 5.

>>95999387
All that for a tradoff for +1 move and strong priest? Whats the theme.

>>95999387
You're getting an awful lot and giving up almost nothing for it. The drawbacks need to be way worse in exchange for strong priests and unrestricted extra movement. Like anointed being limited to 2 and artillery witches being completely unavailable. Also, why disallow flamethrowers but allow a heavy flamethrower?

>>95999438
Shock Assault, close range battle, not necessarily melee but definitely close range. Theme is bloodshed.

>>95999445
Would you say the strong buff or the movement buff is the more overpowered thing here? Looking at other variants, a lot of the close range ones have some kind of movement buff but I don’t want to go too over costed like +1 dash dice (ala naval raiders or prussians)

>>95999445
>>95999514
I wanted to keep at least one expensive source of fire - maybe make it a glory item?

>>95999514
Strong is nice because the starting equipment for priests is pretty limited otherwise, but really it's the movement buff that's very very strong. For a zerg-rush list those extra inches absolutely add up. And realistically most of the constraints are easy to work around because you still have regular grenades, grenade launchers, MGs, and so on, or they're things like wretched and fireteams that were unlikely to be used anyway. The only "big" restriction is the lack of armor on troopers, but that mostly encourages you to just use swarms of them as cheap meatshield fodder. Though realistically you probably should keep 3 anointed since the troopers can't wear armor just so you don't have wasted promotion slots.

>>95999620
That’s a good point. Do you have any suggestions for something movement related that would perhaps be more balanced?

>>95999769
Free/cheap mountaineer kits. I imagine when they add the Italian faction theyd give them something to do with that, like shocktroopers have the effect innately or something.

>>95999769
I actually like the +1 movement since it's not just a rehash of the +1 dice for dashing that so many other folks get, I just think you should have to make meaningful sacrifices for it.

>>95999815
>>95999904
>>95999387
See updated list

Spurred by Blood
Any model that doesn’t have the “Artificial” key word may purchase the “Bleeding King’s Blessing” upgrade for 10 Ducats.
This upgrade grants +1” Move.

⸻

Chosen of the Crown
Heretic Priests of this warband gain the Strong keyword.

⸻

Wretched Are the Weak
This warband may not include Wretched.

⸻

Pride Bound
Models in this warband may never use the Retreat action to leave melee.

⸻

Blood Must Be Shed
This Warband may not take any equipment, ranged, or melee weapons that have the “Fire” or “Gas” keywords,

⸻

By King’s Decree
This Warband must select the Bleeding King (Infernal) as their patron in campaign play.

⸻

Rigorous Trials:
Anointed are limited to 3 instead of 5.

⸻

The Price of Pride:
If any model in this Warband comes within legal charge distance of an enemy model with the keyword “Elite”, that is in line of sight, they must use their move action to charge that model and may take no Risky Actions until they have done so.

⸻

Bleeding King’s Favour:
At the start of the game, place one blessing marker on the Heretic Priest. At the start of subsequent turns, check the current total blood markers present for each Warband - if there are more markers present on enemy models than on allied models, you gain an additional blessing marker that may be placed on any model. No single model may have more than one blessing marker from this ability. If allied units have more blood markers than the enemy warband, distribute d3 blood markers across the models in your warband.

Custom Wargear:

- Bloodflame Blade (limit 1, same as hellfire blade but has Shrapnel keyword instead of Fire)
- Bleeding King’s Rod (same as Blasphemous staff, but shrapnel keyword instead of fire)
- Barbed Wire Crown (when this model ends activation, any models within melee engagement suffer 1 blood marker, unless they are immune to Shrapnel from any source. This model gains 1 blood marker whenever this ability is used)

>>96000040
yea thats better, blood theme seems like it could be fun, the way infection markers for BG and Dirge have uses beyond damage.

>only a few miniatures a month
>most of them for black grail they’ve shown are already sculpted
Scam

>>95995780
>To send a demonic entity on Earth the Court needs to find a willing demon and have him fuck an animal
I was unware Demons were Welsh. But it makes sense if you give it two seconds.

>>96000169
I have play tested the blessing marker generation before, and it generated a blessing marker about 50% of the time. Is d3 blood markers fair?

>>96001059
Id do d2.

Apologise

>>96002082
I don't think he will, doubt he even cares, or the people who actually play the game, honestly.

Random sketch from Mike got me thinking about Path of the Beast again, taking inspiration from the neolithic artifacts and sites around the world.

Has anyone had success with flying grail thralls? I don’t see how a 1 inch move increase with fly justifies removing undead fortitude

>>95997488
Tight, finally figured out what I wanna do with my homonculous. Strong, extra dice for dash, fireteam, extra arm n human hands. Then equipped with 3 swords a editor and a heavy flamer.
Idea is i link it to my heavy throat hell naughty, deploy ig on the opposite didd then move them up the board at the same time so that my opponents have to focus one or the other while the rest of my band takes objectives

>>95996983
I tried. I used Pelikrypta, and got some poor quality miniatures. Lion of Jabir was a blob. I got new minis, which were only slightly better. By that I mean no figure was a complete blob.
Although I guess its my own fault, I went with the cheapest printing service. I'm more or less sure, that more professional printing service offers better results.

>>96003950
They're useful in dense terrain and also for stalling your opponent. Probably a late campaign extra rather than a must have.

>>96006566
Another serpent head, how many are there now?

>>96005882
It looks like they need to change their rinse medium (often IPA). I feel like there are some noob mistakes that led up to that quality of print.
Aren't there a bunch of game clubs in Finland? Surely there are more capable printers in those clubs than this?

>>96006566
>The more nihilistic and fatalist schools of thought say there is no rebellion, and believe they are simply following God's plan laid out at the very beginning of Creation. They have no say in the matter: it is their nature to persecute humanity and to eventually topple YHWH as the world He created becomes ever more sullied and tainted.
That is a very strange form of predestination. They usually don't follow pre-destiny to the culmination of all predestiny and instead terminate at the end of their own. Which helps makes people more comfortable with fighting G-d.

>This. All of this. Is HIS will. WE are HIS will manifesting itself. When WE act, WE act because of HIM.

The delusion that makes people who believe in an omnibenevolent G-d will accept them if they simply torture enough people in HIS name. That taking hot pincers to the ultimate blasphemers for the sake of inflicting pain on them to balm their own souls, will make them more pleasing in HIS eyes.

Troon losers. No one wants to play this trash. And the best part is 90% of you never will.

>>96006990
Bigger cities in the south have those clubs. If there is plenty of printers, they don't advertize in the internet.
>>96007429
Its just inversion of predestination, instead of trying to prove they're part of the elect, they believe they are part of the damned, with no ability to change the fact. If so, better work so you get better position in hell when you die. Type of protestant work ethic, but for sinning.

>>96006566
>human Heretics can only act as conduits of the power infernal. Instead, the Heretic Priests beseech their
Patron demons for supernatural intervention.
In some ways that makes it a better twisted parallel to the wishing of divine intervention from God. But it also means that all of the heretics are bigger chumps than the believers, as they'd Damm themselves eternally for a chance to be noticed by a similarly uncaring patron as God in this context. It really goes to show that the heretic legions really don't have any remaining humanity left and they're monsters by another name. They're still the coolest aesthetically and demonic pirates with SMGs fucks all day long

>>96007429
>The delusion that makes people who believe in an omnibenevolent G-d will accept them if they simply torture enough people in HIS name.
That sounds like a sadly useful philosophy for people that have been fighting literal Hell for nearly a millennia straight, especially the unhinged people that make up Trench Pilgrims, and especially especially the ones who lived in the medieval period.

>>96007429
>>96010929
What I find neat is that while a lot of the faithful are given holy powers, the ones we hear about that commit atrocities against humanity in the sake of his name aren't actually impervious to the tools of hell. How the day hope died was because death commandos managed to get to the top 3 leaders of the church, but those were also the same people who were making decisions and approvals to do inhumane and sacrilegious. When "your dudes" get hit by a death commando with tartarus claws and go down or elites can even go out of action, but they don't get damned straight to hell.

>>95990671 (OP)
Are the current campaign rules
>inb4 not out yet
as good and fun people say Mordheim is?

So we're unable to enjoy this stuff because of one norwegian chud?

>>96011578
Who the fuck is this pasty faced loser?
He better not be complaining of how TC is "woke" or "leftie" looking like the softest, weakest human being I've ever seen.

>>96011578
>using the word chud seriously in the current year
Don’t anon.
It only outs you as those bad lefty stereotype validators. I know you’re better than that.
>anyways
Trench crusade can be enjoyed despite the screeching of these rage bait spamming time wasters. Don’t let them live rent free in your head.

>>96002318
>or the people who actually play the game, honestly
Legitimately asking here, but does anybody here actually play Trench Crusade with its current rules?
I don't because I don't want to make miniatures only to find out the game is ass.

I'm looking at my STL collection and I've got it all planned out but I don't feel ready to pull the trigger and start assembling a TC warband.

>>96011631
So just play a test game with other minis, or cardboard circles with labels on them? There's no way to know if you'll enjoy the gameplay unless you actually, you know, play a game. It's miniature-agnostic anyway. As long as everything is on the correct size base it really doesn't matter what you use.

>>96011631
Played a couple games, it's fun and punchy. My crew and I like it quite a bit and we're looking to set up a campaign so I can't say exactly if the campaign rules work particularly well yet but they seem reasonable from a couple read throughs. Heavy weapons are strong, and the strong keyword makes them wild

>>96011653
I played a test game with myself in tabletop simulator and it just didn't feel right. I think it is mostly because I was looking at a screen so I think my judgement on the game is a bit tainted.
Kind of like reading a PDF, it doesn't feel right unless it is a physical book or printed paper in a binder. That sort of thing if it makes sense. Sorry if it doesn't.

>>96011631
Of course we do, I regularly upload pics of our games, have not done it in this thread 'cause with the summer coming it's increasingly hard to get people to play on an afternoon

About not wanting to commit, just find some minis of the same base sizes and give it a try, it is miniature agnostic for a reason

>>96011631
In a campaign, 3 games in. Really enjoying its simple and quick paced nature compared to other skirmish games.
Though I did use it as an excuse to finally make use of my 2 year long heroes infinite subscription. Posted pics of some of my painted stuff some threads ago.
Though I decided to print a new sorceress that fits the setting a big better. Getting the files to the guy who prints for me later today.
Also the store we play at is currently getting a full trench themed board printed for us. When it us ready I'll get pics ready.

>>95998558
Nice work, man, love the lichen effect.

>>96011661
...okay?
Then get some coins/minis to use as stand-ins and play a test game IRL?

>>96007524
Talked to some friends. Germanbro said he uses
https://www.benad3d.de/ and has been pretty happy with them. Not sure how your mail system is or if it's within your budget, but give them a look, I guess.

Happy 4th of July to American Anons.

one anon mentioned it in a previous thread, but the saint is absolutly massive for a 60mm base

>>96016678
Thanks, friend.
We still freeing the shit outta people like artillery witches.

>>96000556
The models for their ecstasy lines are exceptionally, ahem, fully bodied

>>96011661
Do you typically have this issue in other games on tts? It could just be not the game for you

>>95990671 (OP)
Court of Sloth fucking when?

>less posts in the thread everytime I check
Time jannies are on the prowl, I guess.
Still waiting for my Brazen Bull proxy to show up, but those Frostgrave wizards are indeed excellent for elite kitbashing.

>>96025844
>less posts in the thread everytime I check
Looks like we'll probably be in >/awg/ before august desu. I hope that it's not indicative of smaller adoption as a game more broadly but it probably is. It's hard to interest people in a new war game, even models agnostic ones with free rules.

Right, just need to touch up on some small bits and do the base but my hunter of the left handed path is done.
and yes i know theres no bow but a) this model (that i got printed) fit the rest of my army really well, b) because its wrath im gonna use her with a sword to assassinate enemies that havnt activated yet and c) shes a blood demon, i can just say she makes a blood bow to shoot people.

also just had game 4 of my campaign, my sorceress survived a 15 inch fall.

>>96027388
Sick, hunter is the unit I would want to kitbash for. The concept is some Bloodborne shit.

>>96027388
also finished 4 of my 7 yoke fiends, (3 are the not bloodletters and 4 are the other type, they're next to paint.)
also got a hellpit locust that is done but ill post that together with my wretches once those are done.
then i got a hellknight, a preator, a desecrated saint, goetic warlock, scripture guardian, sin eater and 2nd sorceress (getting a second one printed that fits the lore and theme a bit better) left to paint.

>>96027281
Suppose the simplest way to interest people would be a completely agnostic game that removes the entry cost of models by making them all able to be tokenized.

>>96027584
At that point it's really not a war game anymore unfortunately, a big part of that part of our hobby is making the scenes come to life but oh well.
Maybe I'm just bitter because a FLGS is shuttering from land lord skullduggery

>>96027388
Would.

>>96027413
How many rounds do you expect your campaign to go? I'm trying to gauge what a reasonable number of final points/models is as the rules make it seem like 1800 ducatd is on the apocalypse end of the spectrum

>>96027281
Anon, I meant it's because the mods have been increasingly bellicose about deleting e-celeb amd culture war shitposts, even older ones.
So the post count has been dropping, ie 94 to 92, 92 to 89, now back to 92.

I'm still waiting for my physical models from the Kickstarter to arrive, once they finally get here I'll have more to talk about, and after the book is in my hands I'll be twice as inclined to engage.
I imagine a lot of anons are feeling the same way, it's like torture talking about the game rules over and over again without having the models we paid for, or the final rules that will actually matter.
That being said I did make some terrain (pic related). There's more work to be done, but I was thinking I'll need some 3d printed houses or something for playable interiors.

>>96030655
I forgor pic

>>95990671 (OP)
The developers said I'm not allowed to play.

>>96027409
Love most of the model, I just don't like the bow pose, just feels like he is tposing with his bow.
Cloak looks badass though

>>96030457
So we are just following the campaign rules so we're probably gonna reach 1800 ducats games.
When i got my team printed i just printed up to max limit for each elite and troops that had a limit (only 1 hellpit because I think it only ever need one) and then for base troops i first printed a few then played a few games st 700 with different lists yo see how much I'd need over multiple games and then got more printed. I also got 1 of each mercenary printed.
The longest part was going through my 2 years of heroes infinite files and see what could fit together a coherent force. Will do the same in the future for a heretics and black grail warband

>>96030664
Are those shiny metallic sections meant to be some kind of otherworldly structures or will you be changing the look? Because they feel like they'd be quite interesting on a table in contrast the the muddy grime around them as is

>>96033613
They are going to be painted for a rust effect, might attach some barbed wire too for trenches you can't climb easily. They arrange to a pentagram shape when paired with the pentagon, so i was thinking about building small demonic shrines on each of the points and a big tower in the middle. Unfortunately i live in Australia so getting kits of any kind is really expensive so I might have to scratch build everything.
At least I have time to waste while waiting for my minus.

Our store is currently 3d printing an entire trench board, hopefully it'll be playable within the next couple of weeks.

>>96034350
Once that's all painted up it'll look amazing, it also looks like it's missing a couple pieces still, is it modular enough to make alternate set ups?

This game makes me wistful of a FLGS I used to go to called The Vault that closed during covid.
Owner was a chill neckbeard, would have loved TC. The gang and I could have had great games there.
>I haven't forgotten you, Jake, you were a good guy

>>95997859
Theyre the annoninted for the Mammon warband. Some of the STLs people are making are pretty amazing, since its all interpretive it allows a fair amount of freedom with what you can make.

>>96039622
Honestly that's one of the things that sucks most about tabletop and wargaming in particular. We spend all this time meeting people to enjoy their company playing games, and all we're left with often times is memories, books, and plastic

>>95990671 (OP)
>In the shattered ruins of Old Constantinople, there last memories and rumors long forgotten. Wrought works of finery so well crafted that the world has not seen their like since the fall of Byzantium.
>reports from the front indicate that after the collapse of a section of the city in on itself the rumored workshop of Saint Barbara has been uncovered.
>this workshop is alleged to have made weapons capable of rending man and demon alike with the barest effort, of ancient howitzer munitions capable of truly killing demonic entities
>High command has allocated your unit as one of the teams dedicated to scouting the area to see what information is any can be cleaned in this section of the city about this mythical munitionsworks.
I figure that would work for game 2 intro when the winner stumbled into intel that the factory still exists from the results of game 1, while the loser will only know that something big was found and the other side has a lot of activity ongoing. How I'm going to effectively keep intel segregated in not sure yet, but I figure I'll need sheets of it with fake classification markings and to let my players know information isn't symmetrical.

Truth will be that the factory produced miracles of warfare for the time now they're fairly standard (they'll get the damage profile of arty witch). Penultimate mission will be the other three players trying to destroy the factory to prevent the last player from holding it.

Final mission will be all 4 players trying to retrieve the altar of Saint Barbara in the middle of a major offensive because the entire factory is useless without it (arty witch profile but it's a scatter die +4D from the center and 12" left and right of the mid line, where any model that's been out of cover for more than a turn takes a MG profile attack at -3D and -2D to wound, to simulate being in a major push)
Now are these scenarios balanced: No. They are however cool and cinematic conclusions

>>96042799
To wit, anon, the good times past, and what we have left is the glow they leave for us, unless you let that fade away, too.
Jake had a dream of making a game shop in a bank; it was called The Vault because he had his shelves in the still functional massive bank vault.
>>96045175
Sounds like a good time, especially since campaigns need not always be 'fair'.
Shit, for the final mission, you could have a wild card group trying to snatch the altar from underneath all the players' noses, like Trench Ghosts or a rival Court heavy.

>>95990671 (OP)
What is his problem?

>96047465
No one cares, fuck off.

>>96047465
We dont do political drama here, of either persuasion. Fuck off.

>>96046906
>Jake had a dream of making a game shop in a bank; it was called The Vault because he had his shelves in the still functional massive bank vault.
I'll drink to that memory for all of you, that sounds like a good place

>Shit, for the final mission, you could have a wild card group trying to snatch the altar from underneath all the players' noses, like Trench Ghosts or a rival Court heavy.
I feel like that's more fun mid campaign especially if you hint that their competitors in their faction are eyeing the prize as well, doing it in the finale above sounds too busy and I worry might steal their moment by it's hard to say

>>96050890
Nice paint job on that mini. Yours?

I like the idea of making some Sin warbands for use, and I like giving my warbands a 'theme' even if it leans a bit 'gamey' rather than realistic.

Stuck a bit on lust atm since I dont want to be generically 'sexy men/women' so figured I'd ask for thoughts on my ideas.
> All BDSM but just the bits unique to BDSM ie. No tits just leather, no ass just whips, creatures made of fetish gear more than anything else
> Birth/Pregnancy stuff, probably the least tasteful but a lot of anti-sex stuff historically has been about preventing conception outside of acceptable bounds
> Non-sexual, Lust just as desire for more pleasures, all the models are showing off the cool shit they have and trying to convince their enemies to lust after it (idols, finery, art, stuff they never use but just wield against others).

>>96052079
Nah my skills suck, that was a mini i grabbed online

>>96047465
They hated him because he told the truth

>>96050890
You could stair step it along; first mission, an enemy grunt that does it's best to hide and/or run.
After that, scaling interference from outsiders, booby traps on the field, sabotaged buildings.
Then, the ambush: a max ducat warband floods the battleground, and the players need to choose between working together to defeat a greater foe, or snatching what they can and actively running away.

So i got an idea for a seven courts sub faction with multiple sorcerers (Mostly cos ill be ending up with 3 different sorcerer stand in models)

Seven courts cabal
Multiple sorcerers that serve different sins have "allied up" to fight together however they have a heavy sense of rivalry against each other and are always trying to one up each other.

>you can have 1-3 sorcerers
>Each one has to have upgrades of different sins
>You cannot have a preator nor any hellknights
>You can use blood points from demonic, heretic and black grail units.
>Your yoke fiends can only have sin upgrades of the same sin as your leader.
>Your wretch suffer an additional blood point from any source.
>Keep track of victory points, glory points and model kills made by each sorcerer, at the end of the game the one with the most points gains an additional point of exp and the one with the least suffers a roll on the injury table, but instead of rolling two d6 for the table you roll a d3 for the 10s and a d6

>>96058378
3 sorcerers sounds both really strong and hard to leverage effectively as your ability to make blood counters is pretty hampered and no ophid rifles sounds like a steep cost for sorcs you often won't have enough floating blood counters to leverage. It's pretty neat and fluffy though, and it'd play out where your yoke fiends will need to be doing as much blood generation as possible to keep them fed. All in all I'd play against it, all least until we figured out how busted it'll be when half my units get debuffed then shredded turn after turn

>>96054479
>you could stair step it along
Yeah and that would be pretty cool I'll need to think about it, and whether my crew would think it's cool for me to essentially play two armies in the final battle. I don't want anyone to feel like I'm stacking the deck to win in any way

Compendium guy here, will for sure take a bit longer than expected, late july/start of august rather than mid july, but progress is going very good and we are in the final stretch of things.

Feature show off for now, people's warbands can be shared/viewed by others - so you can just link to your warband rather than copying/screenshotting/exporting stuff.

>>96061352
>Compendium guy here, will for sure take a bit longer than expected
That's alright anon, thanks for doing this it's these kinda of projects that build communities
>Feature show off for now, people's warbands can be shared/viewed by others - so you can just link to your warband rather than copying/screenshotting/exporting stuff.
That's slick, can you set a warband to private at all, if you don't want to share your war band or want to hide it after sharing?
>we are in the final stretch of things.
Just don't let feature creep and perfection be the enemy of feature complete and good enough, thanks to you and your team

>>96061352

Not bad at all.

>>96063401

Below-par. Using a fine rasp on those errant mouldlines and stray filaments would bump it up a bit.

Don't know my resins so maybe adding a thin coat of black would help?

>>96063401

Not bad anon, it won't let you win any painting comps, but ultimately what matters is if it's good enough for you

>>96064530
>Below-par
>Don't know my resins

It's not resin, It's FDM printed PLA. And I can't imagine you can do much better without using resin.

One of the discord staff shared unofficial rules for vehicles for the RopeCon event. Doesn't mention their move stat, but its interesting nonetheless.

Best moment was sin eater chewing down on a heavy mech infantry MVP of my opponent just neutralising it all game.

>>96068645
>Doesn't mention their move stat
6" is standard move speed, so if probably go with that? But giving a faction that in a campaign for a mission would be absolutely monstrous, even with ignores armor that's just incredibly tanky

>>96068810
>6" is standard move speed, so if probably go with that?
Sure. Maybe give that Fly to represent it being able to go over terrain far easier than footsloggers?

>>96069520
>Maybe give that Fly to represent it being able to go over terrain far easier than footsloggers?
Maybe ignores rough terrain as opposed to straight up fly, and a rule that it can ignore trenches (that it would not fully seat into from the direction it would enter the trench from) and obstacles shorter than 3 inches and no more than an inch wide? So it can go over short walls but you can't pass through a building (mostly) and also it'll just roll over the trenches by itself

Anon the demons in this game are the absolutely horrific monstrous kind not the sexy kind.
Hell the less bad guys are also horrific abominations

How bad are ghosts if i just want to use range-focused Annointed heavies? was thinking something like

>Elite [240 Ducats]
Death Commando [145 Ducats]: Tartarus Claws, Reinforced Armor
Heretic Priest [95 Ducats]: Puppet Master, Standard Armor

>Troop [457 Ducats]
Anointed Heavy Infantry [162 Ducats]: Heavy Flamethrower, Great Sword/Axe
Anointed Heavy Infantry [117 Ducats]: Great Sword/Axe, Trench Shield
Heretic Trooper [62 Ducats]: Polearm, Trench Shield, Standard Armor
Heretic Trooper [50 Ducats]: Semi-Automatic Rifle, Shovel
Heretic Trooper [66 Ducats]: Pistol, Musical Instrument, Standard Armor

am I condensing too much or not enough?

>>96071257
I am kinda amused that there are a couple animu waifu pics of artillery witches.

>>96071465
It feels like you don't really have enough objective grabbers in that large of a list, you can get 10 points back from the trooper nixing the shovel by dropping him to a Bolt, if he still needs a melee give him a bayonet and that's still 8 points back. What are you trying to have your polearn type do? Because if you drop good armor and shield that's 25 points which gets you another body on board. I guess the question really is what is your intended strategy for each of your units and how does their loadout and base stat line work towards that goal

>>96071465
>>96071982
Also your priest has no equipment at all, he'll struggle with only being a puppet battery

>>96071982
>>96071996
cut down on armor on commando (likely bad choice) and musician trooper, heavy flamer for machine gun,and idk what else i changed by now but i managed to fit in palaquin and pistol for priest with obv staff once he gets some glory.
idea for polearm guy was to be a distraction and zone for the sniper who has a shovel just so he has initial cover and emergency weapon but going bolt is likely the better choice.
I forgot I have access to banshees too so maybe I'd cut down on annointed having both melee and ranged or the shield, altho given i wanted a bit more shooty army then maybe its the commando who should eat dirt for it to make space for it/another legionaire with bolt rifle

>>96063024
>>96062462
Thanks guys.
Dont worry too much about feature creep. There's stuff we want to do beyond the warband builder (group campaigns, play mode, homebrew, community resources) but we have a clear plan for what we want to have in the first release.

>>96063401
>>96063406
I also have an A1 mini and I'm pretty happy with the results I get out of it.

You can probably get a little bit better detail and surface finish if you tweak your settings; I found for example using normal supports instead of tree supports is much preferable as they detach easier and do much less harm to the surface finish of what I print.

Obviously using a 0.2 nozzle and smaller layer line settings will also have better impacts. Depending on what filament you're using you can also pour out acetone inside of a large container and wait for it to offgas fumes, then briefly dip the miniatures inside the fumes to dissolve the external layer lines and create smooth prints. I however refrain from that because I don't feel like potentially exposing myself to acetone fumes is worth the payoff, even doing it with proper PPE.

Pic related is one of mine I did a little while ago. Layer lines are visible in the photo but in person I have to be really straining to see them under ideal lighting conditions.

>>96077202
>found for example using normal supports instead of tree supports is much preferable as they detach easier and do much less harm to the surface finish

That's really interesting. I haven't tried other support types as everyone just says to use tree.

> I don't feel like potentially exposing myself to acetone fumes is worth the payoff,

True, the whole advantage of GDM is you don't need to expose yourself to toxic resin fumes.

>>96078071
Tree supports can be good for specific purposes but I'd strongly recommend giving normal supports a try for experimenting and decide if you like them better. I've actually swapped to using normals exclusively because they're more than adequate at providing sufficient support while tree supports would 9/10 times absolutely mangle the fuck out of the surface finish where they connected to the model.

I suspect people recommend tree supports because they're normally better at what they do and a lot of people don't care about the absolutely minuscule surface detail damage they leave behind on larger parts but for miniatures it's very, very obvious. It was to the point I was cutting almost all my prints in half and printing them on the cut side rather than dealing with the damage of removing tree supports. Then I swapped to normals one day and it's just better for my usecase in almost every way.

>>96078164
How do you go about removing this lol? Just tried slicing and normal looks like it would be harder to remove cleanly than Tree.

>>96078219
The contact points are far weaker than tree supports. Go ahead and print it and you'll see; they separate off a lot easier and with much less damage as a result. The organic shape of tree supports create less surface contact but where that contact exists leaves a much stronger contact force.

Pic related is one I did recently; with/without normal supports. Literally the only cleanup I had to do was around the mouth and that was all of ten seconds with a file. If I tried the same with tree supports I'd be sanding and filing the underside so much that it'd still look like shit, after.

>>96078336
An addendum; you'll find that once printed the tree supports separate off best if you use an elongated pry tool to apply lateral forces. So for example using your picture, I'd insert a long file down where the red lines are and then gently pry away from the model. It might take a bit of practice but in my experience it ended up being a night and day difference in both the effort of cleanup post-print and also how much effort it actually was to separate out my prints. It can get a little touch-and-go if you've got really thin parts but tree supports are even more likely to break those, I find.

>>96078350
Also, give rafting under support options a try if you have problems with prints too low to the build plate. I like to print my stuff with 3-5 raft layers so it's elevated off the build plate, makes it a lot easier to get consistent results.

No it sucked, and i felt bad about the whole thing desu, I don't want anyone's first game to feel like they can't do anything because they don't know how any of their guys work or how their rules work.
I had a bit of fun (because winning) but it was clear the other guy was mostly just frustrated and i never want to push people out of the hobby.
Notably the Heavy infantry in power armor you pretty much just need to blood bath, snipe with arty witch, or use flamers to kill. But action economy is still king and with enough blood markers and automatics, you will eventually kill them

>>96083532
You fucked it up AGAIN, man. "why have Thou fors8ken me?" Enjoy your throat singing and picture of a nebula I guess.

>>96086243
So it's the church of the metamorphosis right? Have they shown off *any* sculpts or is it just thoses random artworks they have floating about

>>96086906
I dunno, I just fixed the man's typo. I'm figuring we'll get a bunch of concept art once someone runs the audio through a spectogram or reverses it or something. Then some guy on mmf releases a bunch of stls (probably beastiarium or whatever?) and someone complains it could have been another new antioch variant.

>>96088556
>and someone complains it could have been another new antioch variant.
Why does this feel about right? Its new cool to get more fluffy variants for the interesting factions. Make hellsworn heretics where they can't take any explosive weapons but get extra fire and that gets extra range. Making them from shooty into close to melee range.
Give IS a variant where they can't take any abominations but they can get some cool heavy weapons instead of their current snipers only

All the details around the top of the model make this a nightmare for FDM.
Honestly still needs more cleanup around those details.

>>96103958

>>96103993
>she's a flesh puppet not your waifu
Same thing.

are there any rats in the trenches yet
whether an actual rat unit or rat demons or rat hazards or whatever mentions
it ain't trench warfare without RATS

>>96104082
Just cut that one off and slap one of these on off etsy.

>>96104120
I suspect they are to be a faction for BG. Even the base BG roster works well for it as is
>thralls cant use any equipment and is only a real threat in numbers, just use a model that is a swarm of rats, flying thralls are just depicted as being able to reach anywhere like rats do
>dogs could just be larger rats
>herald are giant rats that can get anywhere with their "flying" trait
>knights and corpse guard are rats infesting armour
Then the lord of tumors is just a normal guy on a base surrounded by rats. That could be fun to make.

>>96104120

HAKKAPELIITTA, aka Finnish cavalry

>>96112540
Lacking manufacturing plants of their own, Finnish soldiers are experts at using the weapons,
munitions and equipment taken from their fallen enemies. Most faithful armies refuse to even touch
such armaments, fearing the corrupting influence of Hell, but the warriors of the North can afford no
such luxury, and can be seen handling rifles and blades taken as war-prizes from fallen Heretics.
>finns stealing shit again.
I wonder what they do to the looted gear though. Do they go to the church that purifies them, or do they pick stuff up from the ground and use in the next fight. You would think using hell's tools would lead to corruption, and sooner or later people turning traitor.

Is there like a community of chudhammers larping as bad trench crusade fanboys to make us look bad?
I want this game to be good as gw has too much power and good competition is needed in this industry badly.
I was browsing tg and saw that thread then scrolled down and saw what looked like either trenchers being worse than 40k fanboys somehow or chudhammer larp. I hope it is a larp at least.

>>96115488
>Is there like a community of chudhammers larping as bad trench crusade fanboys to make us look bad?
Pretty much, there's a ton of shit threads that go up shitting on TC or roleplaying as TC players shitting on other players and games. Those threads get a lot more traction from samefagging than we do over here, hell a lot of times we end up close to falling off the catalog, so it's clear they're not participants in the game discussion here. I don't like the implication or the rep that will give us but what can we do about it really? Ably it and feeding the trolls is what they want so I personally just ignore it best I can

>>96115398
>She is literally covered in the writings of the Enemy.
Just take away her clothes, then. Problem solved.

>>96115488
>>96115694
I think there is a genuine cult like following of tc that makes 40k fanboys look tame now. Tc was always going to appeal to the hipster mentality that customization and conversions always allows for so naturally the hipsters would be here.
I just hope that they aren’t too big of a percentage in the tc community as bad apples killed warmahordes.

>>96115865
My argument against that is that if that's true, then they're not participating in discussion about the game itself, and at that point they're not TC fans, they're just contrarians looking to get acknowledgement. Realistically it's not a topic for this thread as it doesn't really impact the game or promote the hobby

>>96115937
Fair enough. Maybe I’m going through the feels of someone who is part of a fandom and seeing so many do cringey shit that makes the fandom look disgusting and then feeling second hand embarrassment.

>I just hope that they aren’t too big of a percentage in the tc community as bad apples killed warmahordes.
I've gotten flashbacks to memories I thought were buried. Memories like the infamous page 5 being legitimately cited without a hint of irony, people tabling newbies in one turn legally, tears, and broken models out of rage.
And then the online space being nuts with a lot of "suck it up buttercup" and "git gud" and superiority complexes because they aren't playing Warhammer in late 2000s forums.
I sincerely hope that this doesn't happen to the TC community, but Murphy's Law dictates that everything that can go wrong will go wrong, and I badly want to be wrong. I don't want the future of TC to have a reputation for obnoxious players and I don't want to be an exception to the obnoxious TC player rule either like I was to the WarmaHordes rule of how the community is toxic.

Oooh that and golems made of stone bricks would be rad

>>95992621
Thats just special made for the lust warbands.
You should see what gluttony guys get, they come with a fully stocked mini fridge inside their ass.

Working on a Praetor. Modeled on a 50mm base here, but I think it might be a little on the tall side

>>96128596
Praetors are fuckhueg

This game is for tranny faggots. You are all pathetic for playing it

>>96128942
Hey, your dad's here, don't speak badly of your father/world's greatest bugchaser.

>>96128596
She's looking good. Do you sell your files? I bet people would pay for it.

>>96128596
I think you'll be okay. If anything your praetor is on the small side in terms of width. They really are fuckhueg models for a wargame at this scale desu. Also stl drop when? I need a lust demon and legion and that requires sexy monsters

>>96116532
>when you wanted to play WW2 germans but your friend wanted to play TC so you compromised

>>96131189
Specifically that list isn't campaign legal, but it's perfectly valid for skirmish (do note like half the scenarios limit your model pools, so it's still dumb). If there are ever any kind of tourney rules I can see spam like that being pretty popular of there aren't a ton of scenarios with limits in the tourney pool

>>96120549
Hi Arch!

My pledge with New Antioch and Heretic Legion and the Trench terrain is set to arrive today, at long last.

>>96131986
Make sure to take pics to own the chuds and the alt-right!

>>96131986
Nice, do you know what kind of foam you'll use to make your ground to raise from the trench board?

Youre addicted to politics

>>96132121
The nogames nominis crowd usually is

How would China and Japan be faring in all this?
Would the Great Wall hold up as well as the Iron Sultanate's? Since the demons own the seas and have submarines is Japan just fucked?

But anon the Chinese sales

>>96132029
Not yet, I need to see what size of table I can fit in my apartment.

>>96128596
Looking at it again, the head looks more like a Sorcerer than a Praetor.

>>96128596
>>96132983
>Looking at it again, the head looks more like a Sorcerer than a Praetor.
If you mean a sorcerer like that anon mentioned (and yeah the number of arms do indicate that it might be a sorc), then yeah it might be a touch on the big side and probably needs a minor size reduction

>>96131986
Well, it arrived.
My New Antioch order is missing the Lieutenant, the Trench Cleric and one of the Sniper Priests.
One of the Heavy Mechanized guys, his head just didn't print completely so there's a big fucking hole in the top of it.
Disappointed, honestly.

>>96134457
That's super shitty anon sorry :/
Do you have a buddy with a printer? And have you contacted support yet?

>>96134550
I'm sending them an email now. The Heretic stuff is all here and the terrain is here, so I'm willing to see this as just a simple error and not be a karen about it.

>>96134457
Look at this poor bastard.

>>96135003
>Look at this poor bastard.
Poor bastard met a sniper priest the wirog way and lost his mind in the encounter

>>96135048
It took off part of his helmet too, must have been a hell of a shot.

>>96135053
>It took off part of his helmet too, must have been a hell of a shot.
Nah it was by a sniper priest with an anti-materiel rifle. His helmet being materiel, and his head being an unfortunate casualty of John Moses Browning's .50 Caliber masterpiece

>>96134457
Same thing happened to me with my iron sultanate order anon, I was missing an azeb and my alchemist had a printing error but I contacted them and I had replacements in less than 2 weeks, so don't worry.

>>96135673
That's good to hear that they replace stuff quickly.

>>96134457
>>96135673
>>96135003
I'm now worried about the print quality of the books. Hopefully they'll be fine.

>>96134457
>>96135003
Is that hole in the middle suppose to be a peg slot? Maybe they just forgot to add it to the order.

I hope when they move to doing a full wargame they do hard plastic kits. I've never liked resin and 3d printing still has too many flaws on top of that.

>>96135816
Nah, the other two guys have their full heads, here's a pic of everything, you can see the other big lads here.

>>96135876
Turn mistakes into miracles. A flat surface means you can easily give him a chaos dwarf hat.

>>96135876
>>96135900
Or a pope hat, if that makes more sense. That might be more fitting.

>>96135876
Is the axe bent or is that just me

>>96135907
Oh yeah it's super fucking bent, I was annoyed when I opened the bag.

>>96135800
They're hoping to work with a print company for that one, that's a big different from resin which has been notoriously fiddly as long aI can remember, but your rigt, it really doesn't instill confidence. Do we know who their printing partner is?

who /yesgames/ here?
me and my friend built this board and played a game on it in just six hours

>>96137448
>six hours
Wish I had that much time to spend on wargaming. There's got to be a way to compress a battle down to at most 2/3 hours.

>>96137448
>me and my friend built this board and played a game on it in just six hours
Hell yeah anon, I've actually played games as well, but our board doesn't have trenches yet. I need to work out storage logistics with my buddy because trenches take a ton of space so we've not bought the foam yet

>>96137448
played quite a few games, we got a good scene here.
Last time i went to the store >>96034350 was finished and they were painting it, they told me the board would be finished today but i didnt go to the store today. will take a pic next time im in.

>>96135003
Update here, they've already responded and are sending me a replacement.

>>96140496
Not a bad turn around all considered it is a Sunday after all, but it sucks it happened at all

>>96141906
Yeah, but I can be a little bit forgiving based on how many people they needed to ship to.
I went into my box some more and saw that they had also accidentally sent me an additional pack of Heretic Legion troopers so now I actually do have enough minis for two 900 ducat lists.

>>96142037
Someone's getting sodomized (a little) for that.

>>96142037
Nah, with the sheer amount of fuckups they've made with even basic shit (like somehow managing to send a guy a model with 2 right arms like 3 times in a row after being made aware of the issue), they've lost all benefit of the doubt. Just check their kickstarter page and you can see how bad it's gotten.

>>96135800
>>96137233
Having worked with a book print company for a small project (completely unrelated to TC) even the very cheap 'get it done with minimal effort' printing companies produce solid-quality books. We've simply been making books for centuries longer than little 3d figures.

What faction should I make for my buddy? Trying to get him into the hobby and I finally have access to a good resin printer. I have a heretic warband.

>>96147966
Show him the faction models and rules and let him pick.

>>96134457
Makes me think I should go find a local with a printer and simply pay him for the resin+time. The STL's are still free or have they been paywalled?

>>96150767
They exist out there if you know where to look, but the game is minis agnostic so just use whatever you think is cool at the end of the day

>>96150906
I misunderstood completely what the minis were for. Really regret recyling my half-hearted attempts to learn how to paint mini's.

>>96150921
>Really regret recyling my half-hearted attempts to learn how to paint mini's.
It's alright anon, we all have dogshit paint jobs that we all won't even bring to the tabletop because of how much we regret them. It's part of the learning process, the only ones who don't stripped the paint from their models of shame

>>96119102
>I don't want the future of TC to have a reputation for obnoxious players
Kinda late for that...

>>96134457

And the important dudes are also finished!
I will have to make some terrain in the future.

>>95993193
>>96039426
What was the name of the guy who did those models?

>>96151977
Nice work. Those bloody skulls are particularly great looking.

>>96151977
The colour combinations are phenomenally good. Beige plus the vivid blue and the silver accents really works well together. Going to be stealing that colour scheme for later.

>>96151977
Really dig that tan/dull bronze armor! Probably gonna steal that scheme for my Iron Sultanate

>>96152021
Maker went by Dimomodels on cults3d

Has anyone tried magnetising their TC minis' hands and weapons? I feel like it'd be a good idea, so you could easily switch their equipment once it changes during a campaing (or when you're starting a new one).

Never done that before though, so not sure how feasible it'd be

>>96153779
I did with my Heretic Troopers and added magnets to my Artillery witch to fix a broken bomb arm wrist and to be able to put a trench shield on her other hand

Whole crew armed and painted, minus the Banshee Chorister i added after i took this pic.

>>96153959
>>96151977
Sick. Heretics seem to be the most popular faction even over NA.

>>96154017
It's that Bad Boy charm. Gets ya every time.

>>96154017
>cool designs
>edgy
>varied and flexible playstyle with plenty of options
>still kinda basic and generic instead of being a more specific and unusual thing that may not appeal to everyone, like Grail or Court.
But definitely, Heretics, Pilgrims and Antioch are easily the three most popular factions in my group.

Where can I get some Trench Coomsade minis?

>>96154363
Kitbash sum Kingdom Death figures.

>>96154363
There are a lot of coomer minis suited to Trench Crusade on Thingiverse or, if don't have access to a 3d-printer, Temu.
I bought this for my upcoming C7HS Lust warband on Temu for example.

>>96153959
Here's a few pics from a simple 700p demo game i held a few weeks back. We used my Vostroyan Firstborns as New Antioch forces.
>Witch taking aim from a bunker roof..

>>96154777
>aiming for a lone New Antioch trooper advancing up the field

>>96154793
A few turns later i get my heavy flamethrower Anointed in position with a lucky dash and hose down the NA lieutenant and a combat engineer.

>>96154840
Better shot of the fire zone, pun very much intended.
We had too much fun to remember to take any more pictures but the game ended with a pyrrhic victory for New Antioch after some really good rolls from their machinegun MHI and their sniper priest taking out the arty witch in a two turn duel.

Hey Court players, what are your thoughts on the Sorcerer?
I love the design of this dude, but honestly I'm struggling to justify buying him for my warband. I feel like at least atm Court warbands don't really have enough of a spell selection to warrant a unit which only purpose is taking as many spells as you can. With a Praetor, Hunter and 3 Knights I usually struggle to have enough blood markers on table to make proper use of what they already have built in + of one extra offensive spell I gave to the Praetor. And all of these units are much better at regular combat than the Sorcerer

I dunno, maybe if I was running a Lust band and had those extra markers I would take him for that extra fireball a turn, but otherwise I fail to see how he's worthwile

>>96154363
from what ive seen Kingdom Death and heroes infinite are your best bet. the latest month of heroes infinite has some cool models to use for sultanate.
Don't we have an anon here who is doing a courts team using heroes infinite stuff?

>>96156052
>latest month of heroes infinite has some cool models to use for sultanate
Oh cool I haven't thought about those guys in a while let me check their toughest girls line
>check the lust elves stuff because I might actually get a use for them if I buy them
>all gone
I should have realized the market for coomer models waits for no genuine use case

>Don't we have an anon here who is doing a courts team using heroes infinite stuff?
Probably I've definitely seen models in that vein around here and they'd be perfect

>>96047465
This >>96054319 I'm not going to defend a youtuber fag (he is really disgusting), but I think that his views on the map were quite reasonable.

>>96155558
The sorcerer is pretty versatile tool for several sins but Lust, Pride and Gluttony powers really make the sorc shine. For the rest of the sins you can put any of the powers on a praetor and/or hell knights and still make it work with their playstyle.

>>96159385
Maps biggest issue is how wh*te and Eur*pean centered it is. Gives me the ick...

So a buddy of mine that was interested in playing the game proposed something interesting.
>I want to have an excuse to use these Darkstalkers models, would it be out of place if I used some for units?
And then I started thinking about it and I might even do this myself, the concept of a bunch of soldiers fighting these "monsters" might be fun.
>Qbee-Herald
>Lord Raptor-Lord of Tumors
>Morrigan and Lilith-Plague knights
>Felicia and Talbain-Plague hounds
>BB Hood-Amalgam

>>96159385
His views on the map are indefensable on the basis you would also be defending him as the author of them. Like trying to defend ethical eugenics without having to defend the historic use of it; IMPOSSIBLE!

But we really should make a thread on /pol/ if you're honestly intending to continue this instead of stirring shit because your mother never showed you love.

>>96116760
I kinda don't want demon worshipping Aztecs mostly because the image of the Aztecs ripping the heart out of some Praetor is metal

>>96161464
There's no reason you can't have both. They don't all have to be united as a single group. A pro-Heaven vs pro-Hell Aztec Empire civil war would be fine.

>>96161539
If British Pagans from pre-Roman colinization had a divine revelation that God was real facillitated via a Moses-proxy; How would their religion and beliefs evolve? That's basically what's going to happen to the Aztecs if they get involved. I suspect syncretism where they re-interpret their current beliefs as extensions of the new ones. See: what happened to Christianity in Mexico

>>95991525
But it's got momentum from the knight guy moving, right? He takes a step forward with his right leg, and the inertia makes the chain cling towards his left leg?

>>96163440
He is literally hellspwn, I'd argue it being less effective and more restrictive may be the point to further punish the failures that get shoved in those suits of armor

>>96161464
>the image of the Aztecs ripping the heart out of some Praetor is metal
Would a praetor have human enough anatomy to rip out? I know that their 4th face is ripped off but I don't know if the rest of their anatomy is divine nonsense or more grounded
