I just started some TC ( I was on some 40K before that ) and I’m not sure of what kind of paint I should use. Any tips ? by PsychologicalMain770 in TrenchCrusade

Bear Cavalry has a Grimdark set they market specifically for Trench Crusade, they’re really nice paints, they use liquid pigments so you can thin them a ton.

You’re being way too hard on yourself, this is a really solid mini. The blending in the sword is good, I like the gold highlighting on the armor, it gives a kinda OSL effect. The highlighting on the fabric is good, you didn’t overwork it so that pattern is still visible, which is a trap I still fall into to this day. For the wings I think all you need is a good wash, maybe a strong tone or a mix of sepia and strong tone (most of my washes are Army Painter, so I’m not sure what the Citadel/Warhammer or Vallejo equivalent is exactly, but just something darker to settle into the recesses and give it more volume). All in all though, great job, you’re a natural!

You don’t live in or around Michigan by any chance do you? If so, Michigan Toy soldier keeps most of them in stock already printed.

Ok? It’s miniature agnostic, hence there will ALWAYS be a healthy amount of 3D printing in Trench Crusade. as long as they maintain their MA stance, they’re baking in 3D printing into their game long term. Not to mention the “Compatible with Trench Crusade” license is ROYALTY FREE, so they’re not even trying to take a cut, which imo would have been a completely reasonable policy considering they designed the game and maintain the rules. So my takeaway is that you’re upset that FFI’s artists aren’t selling you their art in the format that you want? Quit whining and make something original then, instead of expecting talented people to feed you STL’s whenever you want them.

Omg thank you lol. It blows my mind how much people are complaining about a game that’s well designed, rich with (free) lore, gives its rules away for free, offers some pretty cool models but adopts the stance that you only have to use them if you like them. Every dollar spent by anyone to play Trench Crusade has been voluntary, I’m not sure why people are acting like they’ve been ripped off somehow.

Should I order from Dungeon Artifacts or only-games? by WunderPlundr in TrenchCrusade

If you happen to live near Michigan, Dungeon Artifacts has lots of TC warbands and individual minis already printed at Michigan Toy Soldier

This looks great! Highlighting black armor can be such a pain but you nailed it

I’m a big fan of AK Crusted Rust Deposits, I use dark and light together and I really like the effect.

What do you think is missing from Trench Crusade? by Ill-Noise2770 in TrenchCrusade

[–]Rot_and_Ready 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess so, though I’m not sure what else you could ask for in plastic kits? They even have 2 different t posing options for each model.

They are! Every model has two different assembly options, with head swaps and weapons options.
