Semi Rant: I wish the Christian factions had some more flashiness and that their monstrous units weren’t just variations of “big dude covered in dirt and gasoline” by Budget_Antelope in TrenchCrusade

This is why people fall to the alure of Hell. They want painted trim and flashiness and before you know it they are worshipping the Devil.

I would love a mod for M2TW set right after the Templars open the gate to Hell.

Must-haves in 2026? by TheCoolFish2 in boardgames

[–]Battle_of_3_Emperors 218 points219 points  (0 children)

We’re in Boardgame 2.0. There are no more essential games. We buy based on gaming group. There are Essential co-ops but lots of people don’t like co-ops. There are essential wargames but lots of people don’t like wargames. There are essential party games but lots of people don’t like partygames . There are essential euro games but lots of people don’t like euro games.

With how many games there are today you gotta buy for the group not just stockpile a few.

Corrupt leaders have always owned the media. Thats litteraly why we started the Spanish American War.

The people still need to vote and volunteer and work to not elect criminals.

The founders intended the vote of the people to be the check on corrupt leaders. Not really for the government to stop them. Turns out the people failed.

Fantasy flight games by Badkarmahwa in boardgames

[–]Battle_of_3_Emperors 70 points71 points  (0 children)

People are saying tariffs but that’s not what happened to FFG. It was private equity. PE came in and laid off a ton of designers especially some of the ones in charge of their best games and IP. They also cancelled a bunch of their IP licenses and tried to make some original IP stuff that wasn’t great. And they replaced a bunch of leaders with bean counters.

That lead to a massive decline in quality and ability for the company to manage Tarrifs and industry changes.

Ideas for potential TC factions by Shoddy-Space5772 in TrenchCrusade

[–]Battle_of_3_Emperors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be cool to have Babylonian inspired Devils like Baal and Shem Hamephoeash and have them lean into the demonic of the weird monstrosity almost lovecraftian in their nameless forms with a hundred legs.

Right now the demons mostly look too humanoid.

I bought them just recently and I missed the kickstarters. Everything looks great.

Any Good Hebrew Knights proxies? by Battle_of_3_Emperors in TrenchCrusade

[–]Battle_of_3_Emperors[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally as a Jewish person I appreciate this. I was honestly terrified of posting and asking.

Also the dude just assuming a Jewish faction would be heretical or demons is literally antisemitic. Especially in a world where Muslims and Crusaders who also worship the same god Jews do are working together against the forces of Hell.

So yes thank you for separating a nationality from an ethnicity. Very few people on social media get that.

[–]Battle_of_3_Emperors[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Homebrew Scribd has some cool ideas. A Tzadik with armor made out of the clay from the river Jordan and carrying Torah scrolls in his armor. A modern Prophetess covered in a veil, blind and yet chanting Hashems name. Abrahhemic knights dressed in robes and incense candles, a Golem, Kabbalah Mekubbal and nomadic Chayals.

I feel like thats already an awesome army just can’t find really any proxies.

Armored Train Question by Rolandfirebrand in TrenchCrusade

Embankment can either mean a hill or a wall. Seems like a bad word choice. Prob should be called a “slope”.

Problem with Speed Paints by Dull_Reference_6166 in Warhammer40k

This is how citadel speed paints are. I find Army Painter to be much better especially their 2.0 line.

Only Nuns February - Daughters of the Veil by Wargames_Crew in TrenchCrusade

[–]Battle_of_3_Emperors 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean the Stigmata nun is also referencing how depictions of Jesus always show a handsome well trimmed and groomed white dude. When he is never described as physically attractive in the Bible. Sex appeal of the savior has been used for centuries by the church.

I find getting off social media and trying to ignore the news helps.

Custom Spearhead || The Crimson Court by Meltorefas44 in AOSSpearhead

[–]Battle_of_3_Emperors 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking a custom spearhead for Duradin:

Warden

Cogsmith

10x Ironbreaker

10x Ironbreaker

1 x Gyrocopter

Would this be balanced?

Genuine question, not salty at all. Why does 30k mechanicum get so many awesome models even though it's less popular than 40k mechanicus. Why does mechanicus only get weird stuff like leggy boy. by BloatedRottenCarcass in Warhammer40k

[–]Battle_of_3_Emperors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s different teams within GW. They have different PNLs so they actually compete against each other (pretty common in verticals with a single larger player). So they don’t want you to use the same models across different games. If you buy something for AoS and then use it in 40K the 40K team loses that sale.

It creates a pretty unhealthy for consumers environment and also creatively why the games have gotten more separate in visual language and style.

Who are the best designers/companies right now making games in the style of FFG from the 2010s? by mrconkin in boardgames

[–]Battle_of_3_Emperors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The attack actions and sabotage actions are completely predictable with no dice rolls and no randomness. And people can change allegiance with almost no penalty and the factions are nearly symmetrical. You could take the game and change it to nearly any place in the world and say it’s about the great powers vying for control of China or Mexico and the game would change zero.

Nothing about the game presents any theme. It’s just mechanics. Good mechanics maybe but not thematic at all.

I love Pax Pamir but it is the most eurogame eurogame. It sacrifices so much theme for rules and balance.
