Highland Minis make great Sculpts!
Thank you so much for this Video!
I’m 72 and have dabbling in miniature war gaming for over30 plus years. Currently I’m into Star Wars games, some GW stuff, War Zone. Some grim dark gaming but TC is frankly a depressing concept to me. But as the world seems to be spiraling into grim dark,especially in AmeriKa,maybe it’s timely after all💀💀🤡
@@wasylhnatiw8576 hopefully things don't get as bad as the world of Trench Crusade!
Thinking of trying Trench Crusade but if it was set in the early "enlightenment" period and I just use my D&D figures to get familiarized with the rules. I'll fill lists in with rifleman etc over time of course.
Aesthetic is a big factor for me. Also, the relatively new kind of retro-futuristic-alternative-magic-history genre is a breath of fresh air lately.
These are really nice kitbashes! I've just started on my own warband for this game and I'm really hooked by the whole aesthetic of it
Agreed on all points. It’s this mix between a really cool theme with very interesting lore that frankly - would be cool with any type of game, board game, video game, etc - and the ability to scratch a creative itch with kit bashing. At the moment it’s almost a creative challenge: “Here’s the dudes in the rulebook, now go try and make something close to this with scavenged parts, good luck”. When it’s all said and done you get a great sense of accomplishment at the warband you were able to cobble together.
to be honest i think the asthetic is really interesting ive been a huge fan of the style of art, Zdzisław Beksiński is in my opinion the godfather of it. in the last few years ive found ariel perez and more recently Mike Franchina. im hoping to get some games in, but for now im just enjoying kitbashing warbands :)
So, I am potentially in an interesting position to condense some community thoughts on this one because so man folks talk about the game and their feelings about it in the comments of my vids. Many people just really like how grim it is. I know some folks out there seem to worry that it goes too far, or veres into the ridiculous, but stuff like this is inherently ridiculous. You either go all in on that aspect of it or you release an insipid product, I think. A lot of other folks are enjoying that they can basically be involved for very little outlay right now. They can learn the rules, play on Tabletop Simulator, jump into the Discord for chats and figure out of it is the kind of thing with long term appeal. Many folks are not just trying to decide if they game is for them, but also what the odds are of convincing a friend to play with them, afterall. I think it being a skirmish game is huge, not just for model count, but also for sapce. The days of cheap rent in Nottingham are over, and as much as I love Jervis Johnson and Andy Chambers, those big cheap sitting rooms there were renting while working on 40K and Fantasy Battle really fucked the rest of us. lol
Basically you don't have to sell your kidneys to play the game.
All awesome points !
I think it harkens back to when 40K was first released basic rules and no control over the minis and conversations it just feels much more liberating
Now that is an interesting take and I think I completely agree!
The only worry is that it may go the same way. Even Warlord have taken to cranking up prices lately.
Had 3 games now, all against High Elves, twice with my vampire counts, and once with Empire. The rules lay out struggles due to the sheer amount of rules in this game, in a lot of ways it is clunky. For such a big book, I am surprised that there are only 6 missions, and none of them really encourage players to move forward to get stuck into battle. I think the removal of table quarters giving VP was a bad move. I do like that I can buy 3 books and I have all the rules I need that is nice... but it is GW price. I am still on the fence, in a lot of ways I love ot because itnis Warhammer... but when I play , I usually nose deep into the book, trying to find the rules. It shows that Warhammer is not a casual game. Sure, these things get easier with time, but gaming should be fun first and foremost. Edit to add, also the way list are built is easily open to abuse. Can take what would be Lord level characters in 1,000pts, the minimum needed for core is too low, and also can be 'gamed' to include Special choices. Makes bog standard infantry redundant.
Such a cool looking setting, shame it's run by a bunch of soy fascists
Everything I’ve seen so far about Trench Crusade looks pretty damn awesome. I’d pay gold to play a decently made game in this setting
The test rules are so much fun already and with the community feedback they keep getting better and better
I really want to get into this game, but right now if I want to do anything but male soldiers it'll be a bit complicated. I hope we get ahistorical or women guardsment models. Technically you can kit bash some of the sets together from wargames atlantic. That pass as fem bodied. personally I'm probably just going to use a few stargrave/frostgrave girls kits and Go from there. It's not perfect but it's serviceable. I want a force of battle nun women or something similar I cant afford GW models so frostgrave/stargrave/ WG atlantic it is. I've also considered just playing trench crusade with 15mm though. I doubt most people will do this.
Yeah the frostgrave female sprues would be great for this, probably the Wizards 2 set which has some hooded heads. I hope you can make it work!
A Cathedral school designed to educate war orphans and make them ready for the cursed conflict, whether to serve in logistics or on the front lines as warriors blessed with the names and titles of biblical characters, such as David and Solomon, according to what they will do in the conflict against the forces of hell.
That's a really well thought out concept! Love it 😀
I’ll probably going to be the guy who spams the weaker units and overwhelms the enemy with sheer numbers
It's a great tactic and has certainly worked for one of my friends who has outnumbered me the last three games and subsequently won two of them
Thanks for letting me know
If I say D&D, RPG, fantasy, but also sci-fi, has OPR something like that? In a less complex way, of course...
They are bringing out age of fantasy quest soon which is a dungeon crawler and I imagine it will be easily adaptable to a sci-fi setting
@@SpymasterGaming 👍🏻 Thanks, will look into it.
Awesome! Subbed. I've been searching for a lot of KZread channels that are dedicated to OPR. I recently discovered OPR and diving all in on the game! Thank you for sharing! Have a great weekend! 👍
Great content, thank you. I like how you handled the fitment
Glad you enjoyed it!
Turn out brilliantly!
I think so too 😂
Great work bud looking forward to see more as you go through the rest of the list
Once I get some downtime I will get on it 😅
Very cool mate! Sprues before spools, all the way! You've got to admit, this was a lot more satisfying than Blender, right? He looks awesome! Woof!
You know I don't know how to use blender!
As someone who literally couldn't afford this hobby without a $200 3d printer that I've been using for years and the low cost of stls compared to physical miniatures, I really take umbrage with this comment
Neat!
That was a fine video sir. This was pointed out to me by one of our customers. Thank you for the fair take on Flintloque which now has 2000 odd miniatures in its range. It has been my joy to have written the books for it since 2004. GBS (Creative Manager - Alternative Armies).
And thank you for creating a great setting!
Most kind of you.
Love the stylistic choices you made for your minis. But how will you equip your squad? That's where analysis paralysis can set in.
Battle report coming soon! I made some poor choices
Great video, I was sub 600🎉
Americans pronounce it Lieutenant because we remember how the letter T works.
So do we 😀. You say 'Loot', we say 'Left'!
Great video, always love more Trench Crusade!
Thanks buddy please check put my other trench crusade stuff too!
Wish I knew this before Brexit ...
Perfect! Simple and effective. 👍
You need to inspire me again for the next one now haha 😄
Very cool, but l don't know how one can play this without access to a 3d printer.
There are plenty of plastic kits you can use. Wargames atlantic do WW1 kits as well. Perry miniatures do knight models Northstar do the Frostgrave kits. 3d printing is only one option 😀
There will be a kickstarter that will include at least some official minis sometime this year I believe
I shall be going to expo and taking a AOF as we donr play GDF that will be interesting looking foward to it
I look forward to meeting you!. Hopefully you have a good time at the tournament
Those look great Andy! I just watched Beneath Hill 60 for some aesthetic inspiration for my trench board project. Highly recommend!
Thanks very much. I'll have to check that out!
Sad to see a promising game destroyed in its early stages by siding with the "programmer socks" over at 28mag. Go woke, go broke. Enjoy irrelevance and the inevitable backstabbing from your disgusting "friends." I won't buy a thing from you and will advise others to follow suit.
Idk where to start as someone without access to a 3d printer. Maybe Stormcast Eternals with guns? There'd be some scale issues there though
Wargames atlantic are hard plastic and you get on average 24 to 30 troopers for £20 or so.. I'd also look at Frostgrave sprues for the fantasy components. Specifically their knights range
Warlord Gaming has WWI miniatures. Buy them and a box of AoS flagellants and kitbash!
Also, if you're in the US, check your local library. Some of them have 3d printers in them.
Eisenkern Valkir Heavy Troopers Dreamforge games
Very cool stuff!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for all the positive engagement everyone. For those of you interested here is another video i made about designing custom objectives markers for trench crusade. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dHuCurOuYpexmLg.htmlsi=XLCc2rOi1I5JIoDm
There's nothing I like more than a good hobby video. You should do some actual larger terrain pieces. 👍
Thanks buddy. I think it's just me gaining the confidence to do it that's all! I'll get there haha
I'll be here fo iit when you do. 👍@SpymasterGaming
Nice.
Subbed. Keep up the positive content!
Thank you very much 😀 I'm hoping to get a battle report in next week with my antioch warband against the heretic legions
Nice video! Any advice for getting models if you can’t get a 3d printer?
I'd recommend wargames atlantic for their variety of infantry. Also Perry miniatures do medieval models you could kitbash with
@@SpymasterGaming thanks!
Very cool video! Really hyped for this game. But... where is the "f" in "lieutenant"? lol ;)
Ooo you've started it now 😂 I'll die on this hill whether there is an F there or not! Glad you're hyped I am too!
Great video! Lovely minis. Thanks for the walk through!
Thank you. I don't usually do tutorials !
I was today years old when I realized that a Lou Tenant and a Left Tenant were the same thing
The main question is, which pronunciation do you prefer 🤔
Which is the more correct, you mean?
@@edwademberpants2552 I do indeed haha
It's funny because no matter how many times I look at the actual spelling of the word for the life of me I can't seem to find where the "F" is. So idk why the British are making up pronunciations
@stephenrego6065 we're stubborn like that haha 😄
