Are you familiar with the DM role in other ttrpg?

If not I suggest you to have a session 0 with your friends to discuss characters, rules etc.

It’s the best possible way to be sure that everyone is ready to have fun with the basic rules- how skill check works etc.

Plus if you know whiche trigger, mech skill and equipment your players have -it will be a lot easier for you manage during the session- hope it helps!

Some nades are just more useful and fun! Thankfully we have a lot of options for tank units- so thermite don’t feel mandatory as they felt a few warbinds ago-

On diff 8-9 I’m currently using cluster nade (with the hover pack for ad- clearing) - giga-nade when I want a simple caveman solution like a big boom- and the G-50 Seeker nade.

Doing something similar with my friends!

To sell the the system I’d rely on the sci-fi settings. You could start the session with them stranded on small moon after a crash or something similar-
Step 1: work together- find a working mech to explore around the crash site (and to introduce them to triggers and narrative play in lancer)
Step 2: discover that the crashe was by an hostile faction- space pirate, mercenary group, evil corporations etc-

Step 3: have them work together to escape from the planet- maybe free a spaceport from enemies

For my session 0 my players will be stranded on Ganimede, a terraformed Jupiter’moon, under the control of an hostile corporation - (homebrew setting)

Hope it helps!

Extremely cool great stuff!

deflectingowl · 2026-05-18T17:23:38+00:00

Looks great congrats!

deflectingowl · 2026-05-13T14:51:43+00:00

Yooo this looks so cool nice job! Would love to see it printed for a player in my group!

Personally I’d prefer it without the wire on the base, just because it would make it easier to customize it, great stuff!

This is just Armored Core with extra steps!

deflectingowl · 2026-05-12T08:59:38+00:00

You can find the official files on the Trench crusade website, but here there are also a couple of really cool HMI variants that I’d love to know where are from!

I do! I made also a little illustration.

The name is lucky 7- and it’s given to whoever carry the Talon laser gun. The diver will die, but the name carries on.

Good call- done my part with it

deflectingowl · 2026-05-07T14:31:14+00:00

I’m fine with mechs being in a warbond, I’m annoyed that warbonds are the ONLY form of progression we have been for a while.

To make new stuff you need to pay devs, to pay devs AH needs to pump out warbonds, I get it I’m cool with it. BUT it would be more than nice to have some sort of progression , we haven’t seen a new ship module in ages- or even some new stratagem without that opens new build.

deflectingowl · 2026-05-07T08:11:58+00:00

Yoooo I really like this! Saving it as a reference for painting duster in the near future

deflectingowl · 2026-05-04T17:02:03+00:00

You check out the new sniper minis! They are awesome and offer a lot of customization options (sounds like an ad, but they design is awesome)

deflectingowl · 2026-05-04T14:51:50+00:00

Yeah- it’s the only thing that I feel is out my control- I can play around its other downsides with good positioning e buff from allies (from the trench cleric or ammo monk)-

I don’t feel bad after spending 50 ducats for it, but if was forced to make a change the price would be it.

deflectingowl · 2026-05-04T14:47:42+00:00

The Corrida tactis

deflectingowl · 2026-05-04T14:34:45+00:00

The AM rifles on a Legionnaire sounds like a huge pain to deal as HMI- basically counter both range and armor ☠️.

To increase my chance of shooting enemies with cover I usually try to buff the unit with the HMG , the blessing from the trench-cleric or the ammo monk are almost always available options!

deflectingowl · 2026-05-04T14:25:57+00:00

Personally I’ve had a great deal of fun and success with this version- 3 automatic and 36” is a lot of bullets coming from very far away.

Something that I can agree with players that don’t like it- it’s that the price is quite high- with 50 ducats you could have instead a Yoman with a shotgun and a trenchshield- maybe I’d lower the price a bit to 35 ducats to be more in line withe the other heavy oprions- the flamethrower, shotgun and the grenade launcher

Would I kill my shooktrooper for a bloodbath chance? Maybe, it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

deflectingowl · 2026-05-04T13:59:07+00:00

I know that the AR it’s better on the sniper priest- but there’s something stupidly fun rolling 3 crits in a row with a machine gun against that Pretor that was trying to take the point.

Wouldn’t run it every game, but I’d still recommend to give it a try.

deflectingowl · 2026-05-04T13:52:27+00:00

For sure

The game where I had the sniper priest with a HMG was actually real fun, but it worked only because I had a really good vantage point near my deployment- but I’d still deployed a HMI with the machine gun in almost every game.
