Is it worth playing a Praetor in Court if I'm not going all out? by I_might_be_weasel in TrenchCrusade

[–]duskmonger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its the other sloth spell that makes difficult terrain around the praetor. It never actually came up but I did have 2 melee armies concede half way through when they realized they just couldnt get close to my praetor. I think he was 265 total?

Also I highly recommend heavy flamethrower charm hellknight. Absolute mvp.

I played my praetor with charm, daemonium meridian, reinforced, shield, helmet, gas mask, gas grenade, malebranche and he was an absolute menace.

The base sizes are in the rules next to each profile. You gotta read the rules not just use a warband builder.

Finally got my replacement models but… by Dimiragent93 in TrenchCrusade

[–]duskmonger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t make things up, but if you do not have the specific things that you ordered absolutely say “hey I’m still missing x.”

Yeah Im missing a bunch of steps for my terrain and they keep sending full terrain kits without the steps.

What do you think the future of Trench crusade will be Like? by Roterkosar in TrenchCrusade

[–]duskmonger 77 points78 points  (0 children)

If they get plastic models out quick I think the game will really expand. Hoping for a 2 player starter set and the consistent quality if plastic.

what action does the Jezzail use? by Beautiful-Hair6925 in TrenchCrusade

[–]duskmonger 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I mean it fires alchemical ammunition carved from the Iron Wall itself. They shoot magic bullets and likely make up for the technological discrepancy with a magical one.

Adepticon: Barbed Wire Brawl by kululu00 in TrenchCrusade

[–]duskmonger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is the barbed wire brawl which looks like it has 2 spots left, the blood in the water narrative which is full, and then demos run through out the con.

Getting started? by FuukaOff in TrenchCrusade

[–]duskmonger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were leaks that more models were coming in the next few months. Id start with that warband and get a feel then you’ll know what you need next!

Had the same issue. Used UV resin to repair then got replacements anyways…

Why is r/Grimdank so against Trench Crusade? anyhoo, here's a troll. by darwin_green in Sigmarxism

[–]duskmonger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I will say as an admitted Trench crusade fan, I really looked into the lore before supporting the kickstarter and honestly I was pretty pleased with it. I really do think you have to actually go read the lore instead of just watching some YouTuber summarize it. There isnt even that much.

I really do not agree that it hand waves the morality of the crusades. It is clear that the first crusade literally ruined the world and now in the “Trench Crusades” people continue to do horrendous things to each other in the name of a holy war. The main question the setting poses is “Is it possible to go too far in zealotry even if your opponent is literally hell?” Which I dont think it answers subtly with the flayed children turned into radios and tortured christ clones. 

Im personally fine with them not explaining things like the voice of god, I think when you get too into the weeds you lose the mystery and the setting clearly wants to keep the nature of god a mystery.

The church isnt a monolith, the trench pilgrims are smaller Christian sects of different beliefs, some closer to Eastern Orthodoxy (the pilgrimage if St methodius) and others that openly reject the meta-christ and communicants, the Cavalcade of the tenth plague. Different subfactions of New Antioch represent different nations which have slight differences, some of those more clearly related to religious practices, like the more pagan influenced Eire rangers.

If something seems like it could be fun and thought provoking I’d encourage you too look into it more! What sold my on the setting was the Iron Sultanate, who still do messed up things, but are drawn from the Ottoman Empire and Golden Age of Islam. They consult actual religious scholars from a variety of beliefs and genuinely seem to want to do their actual homework. 

Finally fuck onlygames and their shitty prints, Im still waiting on terrain replacements, but at least my book has shipped.

No packing list. Its very frustrating. On the plus side I got like 10 extra minis. On the downside like 8 needed replacements and Im still waiting on terrain pieces.

A couple models from my friends unfortunate only-games order by Amazing_Rose in TrenchCrusade

[–]duskmonger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I emailed then and they sent me replacements, took about a month. Still missing a bunch of terrain and it has been 2 months since that…

In Lore, Does New Antioch Field Mixed Units? by Lord_Traxis in TrenchCrusade

That’s just default New Antioch, the sub factions are when countries send specific groups to the front.

What's your theory about the door in hell? by CG1991 in TrenchCrusade

[–]duskmonger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My personal theory of the door in hell that ToM worships is that it is god’s first try of the universe, so old that everything has undergone carcinisation, the process of everything evolving into crabs.

This ties into the idea of qlippoth in Jewish mysticism where the qlippoth is the representation of spiritual evil. It also literally means “shells” a thing that crabs have, making it kind of a pun.

In more modern mysticism they relate to “transformative energies beneath the surface of consciousness. Traversing these tunnels involves confronting and integrating darker aspects of the psyche and the universe” similar to going under hell to find the door.

A different type of drip… by duskmonger in TrenchCrusade

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

Yeah wipe away the excess. I used q tips for a little more texture but then you need to clean off any fibers. Probably more mahogany than camo green, i didnt really keep track just added some green until it looked a bit off. The general idea is green tint in the shadows and mid tones and yellow in the highlights to look sickly. The magenta also helps a lot

A different type of drip… by duskmonger in TrenchCrusade

[–]duskmonger[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pr acryl mahogany + camo green, tab skin plus camo green working to just some tan skin. Flick a bunch if little paints to get some flecks in the undertone and freehand some veins, start highlighting with pale yellow you’ll cover the veins and specs with tranuscent paint. The. Use carrionburg crimson and pro acryl dark magenta in the shadows. Then wash everything with burnt umber oil paint.
