My Damned minis haven’t arrived so nothing at the moment.
I have the original damned stls from engaging in stl piracy because wga removed them around when the plastic gamefound came out.
Hopefully they’re compatible easily so no adjustments are required so I can switch the weapons to be ww1-esque in blender if I can properly learn that software.
I hope my package didn’t get stolen.

I think I’m settling on the Xenos rampant rules to get larger scale trench crusade games going. This all hinges on whether the rules are good enough and how hard/easy it is to homebrew rules of the bigger tc monsters into the ruleset.
And whether the players at the lgs are willing to give it a shot.

Do we know anything about the africa front except for the Abyssinians/ethiopians? I had an idea for a New Antioch warband (maybe even Alba subfaction) of colonial africa troops going pic related on heretic strongholds and bringing civilization back to the dark continent.

Morocco exists, and is fighting heretics at the Gibraltar Straight, the Kingdom of Numidia exists and is fighting the Domain of Mammon out of Egypt, and the Golden Empire of Mali exists. Beyond that, not a whole lot.

Wouldn't that be more fitting for Spain or Portugal? Other than that it sounds like a very cool idea, they could have big mobile bases akin to chaples that are used to rid of Infernal/Heretical influence. Bring back the land to God via force. Custom rules for campaign could include recruiting locals too.

Currently working on editing the original NA range to remove the modeled-on weapons to make future kitbashing easier. Got the hang of meshmixer last week but the winter storm knocked my power out since the weekend and I’ve only got the Combat Engineer done. Should be making more progress this weekend.

Has anyone played using the physical rulebook? mine arrived a couple of weeks ago, but I'm aware that there's already been some updates to the rules - are the printed rules too unbalanced, or will I have fun playing casually with the physical book? (If it helps I'll be playing New Antoich vs Trench Pilgrims)

>>97463464
There was a few changes to factions and refinement of keywords, nothing really stops you using your rulebook, it is mostly up to date. The only rules that have changed you can find here: https://www.goonhammer.com/trench-crusade-1-01-update-review/
You can do what I did and write the changes down on sticky notes and attach them to the pages

You know guys.
You could easily just steal the shtick for the setting and do it yourselves, but not retarded.

It's not a 1:1 reflection of the book, but I'd say it carries some of the themes.

>300.
I'd actually forgotten that part about the movie.
Though even so, the lore I have for them is less 'dispose of the failed children', and more 'conserve them to act as indentured servants/expendable staff for the order, instead of giving them to New Antioch'.

Google translated "The abyss envies, and the bound trembles in silence. Leviathan stretches out the bonds of the abyss, and the rust of blasphemy consumes the iron." essentially the heretics seek to break the chains of leviathan the lord of envy, hard confirmation of what we've been told before about the carcass front, adepticon is the next major convention i can think of and they'll probably be announcing it there although i have no basis for the idea

>>97475937

We dont actually know much about leviathan just that it's been shackled. From what we know about POB it seems that it's more oriented to wrath than envy

>>97478239
Leviathan has always been tied to envy amongst the Demon Lords, so I'm glad they're sticking with that rather than trying to connect it to the PotB.

>>97477919
I'd definitely go witch before chorister. Witches are arguably out best unit, that isn't to say choristers are bad though they're absolute melee monsters and are really good in close range lists for stuff like rading party.

Going witch first and picking up a chorister as the campaign goes along is usually what I do.

I used the exact same boxes for the basic infantry for my IS warband as well.
I then converted the Yusbazi by kitbashing the afghan kit with a knight kit.
I had recently noticed that stormcast could, with some work, be used for jannissaries, because I had been struggling for a model to use for them, and this thread had not been too much help. The lion head pauldron is what sells me on it.
File some of the obvious sigmar bling down, use a different head, or clip the crest and greenstuff a new crest?

If you can get a mantic goreblight stl and print it, it might work.

Not sure if such creatures are a dnd staple so I can find the search term to get the most results

Damn, great minds think alike or something I guess. I'd love to see a pic of your guys if you have any. The Perry Afghans were pretty obvious ig, but I did spend some time looking through various ww1 infantry kits. I'd almost prefer going with the WA French or Russians, but in the end the German kit just has too much useful stuff that allows you to accurately model pretty much all of the IS weapons choices so that's what I went with.

>I had recently noticed that stormcast could, with some work, be used for janissaries, because I had been struggling for a model to use for them, and this thread had not been too much help.
There's an Instagram account that used the AoS Chaos marauders to create some very nice looking jannies, but I sadly couldn't find any good resellers for them. So I spent like an entire afternoon just browsing through the AoS range and I think the new vindictor stormcasts actually have very nice proportions that should work okay-ish with historicals as well as generic enough armour that it should be easy to greenstuff into something more TC-y. I'll post some updates in this thread when I get to it.

>use a different head, or clip the crest and greenstuff a new crest?
It might make it look too stormcasty, but I think there should be a way to use the original heads. Jannies are supposed to have these seljuk inspired war masks anyways, I think it could work nicely.

I am a hopeless sucker for these kinds of face mask “armor” that show an emotionless expression.
What are these face masks called so I can find art of them and hopefully miniature stls of them too for kitbashing please?

>>97485554
I don't think there's a specific name, it's just a type of helmet that was used by various Turkic peoples and empires, there's examples from the Seljuks, the Pechnegs, the Cumans, the Khwarazm, the Safavids... I mostly see them called "seljuk helmets."
