Playing Trench Crusade today. I kickstarted the STL files awhile ago and a friend finally printed them for me (much appreciated). It’s a crazy cool miniatures style.

In general it’s hard to hate what this team is doing. It’s a pretty radical departure from the Games Workshop formula. Fewer models, simple flexible rules and a focus on 3D printing means you really don’t need much time to get going.

The trading of actions back and forth is amazing for this kind of game and the level of strategic thinking. The campaign element with points effecting your warband over the course of multiple games isn’t new but it’s really well done here.

The 3D printing first approach is interesting. Part of the GW playbook is stuff is often hard to get. This removes the artificial scarcity but adds the possibility of “super meta” gameplay. Like if someone finds a great combo, everyone can play that combo next week for no extra money.

Anyway strongly recommend especially if you like Kill Team. #Warhammer40k #trenchcrusade

Another #TrenchCrusade mini, this time a proxy for a Court of the Seven-Headed Serpent sorcerer. I’m particularly happy with the blending on the cloak as it took me a while to get right. And gluing all the individual skulls on the base was an exercise in patience and frustration. #MiniaturePainting #ArtTherapy
It's non-stop screaming and crying on the western front as Wargames Crew's Dark Trenches pre-orders are alive with pumpkin-headed skirmishers, bloated heretics and screeching witches. Over the top in every sense. #weirdwar #darkTrenches #wargamesCrew #bonkershammer #trenchcrusade #scifi #horror #miniatures https://l.d20.ninja/2vaj9fx2
Another #TrenchCrusade mini I painted yesterday and this morning: a trench cleric for New Antioch, but she also could be a stigmatic nun. #MiniaturePainting #ArtTherapy
I painted a mini for #TrenchCrusade. Going use her as a berserker or trench cleric, not sure yet. I accidentally the blood effect on her by using acrylic over an oil paint that hadn’t dried yet, causing the red paint to bead up. Happy with how it turned out though. #ArtTherapy #MiniaturePainting

channeling my inner @nantel in a bid to restart my #TrenchCrusade #MurderTurks warband. The goal is probably a bit steep as I want to paint it all in oil paint with all NMM. Of course I'm not showing you the bits that absolutely failed but I'm happy that here it's starting to take shape a bit.

Ending up as the head of a Butcher Knight was bad enough, but the gaping maw keeps screaming to be fed.

Normally we play Kill Team but we decided to try #TrenchCrusade today with #Warhammer models as proxies since we don’t have any TC minis (yet, gonna see if we like it).

Thanks to the 1.0.1 rules update, Ecclesiastic Prisoners can now attack with their feeble hands while their Martyrdom Devices will automatically explode when activated.

<tiny muffled voice> Yeeeee! Paradise awaits!

Witch Hunters don’t run.
Seriously! That why nobody ever picks them up for their warbands or their trench basketball teams.
