well quite. I mean it's a robbie rotten lookalike reality show guy, if you want proper history you'd go to an historian.

To be fair, 3/4 of North Wales probably has ancestral links to Glyndwr. That was a loooong time ago

TikTok is about to become a fully operational propaganda and disinformation service of the Trump regime. Creators and fans, I'm sorry. It sucks. But I left Twitter when it changed into what it is today. That day is pretty much here for TikTok.

The best thing about the new iPhone update is having music on your lock screen. Something so simple makes a huge difference

Then again.. I mean… if it works for people and they get results then that’s all that matters.

History is never boring! 😂 History is what makes us. We’re living though some crazy history at the moment that will make an… interesting history book in a couple of hundred years 😱🤔

Yep. I also don’t use the Mabinogion either. I mean, it is a collection of Welsh folk tales written down by Christian monks with the aim of giving Wales a set of myths like what the Romans and Greeks had. It’s certain not some “bible” or whatever else. Fairy stories.

Pets at Home, Im really not sure we should be giving cats access to a ouija board.

The Temple of Metamorphosis - Trench Crusade Wiki The Temple of Metamorphosis is a cult that worships an entity that whispers from behind a doorway deep in Hell. Those who listen undergo spiritual, mental and physical...

i mean, this is about all we know about them at the moment:

trenchcrusadewiki.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Tem...

no rules or models yet, afaik

Yeah, that’s absolutely up my street. Just waiting for some actual info on them though, other than the few paintings we have 👍🏻

To be honest, it puts me off a bit too. I much prefer Elder Gods and cosmic horror. But I do love the passion people are showing for the game and its aesthetic. Maybe it’s a zeitgeist thing.

Same with Trench Crusade. Every other post you see is someone posting their TC warband, and a lot of it is 3rd party or kitbashed. That creativity is good for the hobby. Your army being behind a $600 paywall… isn’t..

Also add to the mix One Page Rules Firefight skirmish, which is basically kill team but use whatever minis you want. There’s also a fantasy version. For me, miniature agnostic is the future. Not going to make these companies billionaires like gw, BUT it feeds into the wider creator community 👍🏻

something like Company Of Heroes I guess, would fit the setting and small squad setup. a Total War version would be great, but TC isn't set up as a massive wargame

That first one looks like Judge Fear from the Judge Dread comic. And I would paint it as such lol

Rather have Space Hulk, but any move away from $700 armies and back to fun board games is a win, so yes please

wow thats the best table I've seen for TC so far. concerned that maybe it's a bit *too* modular and it would take three hours to set up lol. i'd secretly superglue it together when no-one was looking :D

wargames are expensive if you go the "you need this army with these exact models, and these expensive books that we require you to buy every time we update them".

Trench Crusade was designed to be the opposite really. you can print out the rules and then DIY everything else. it's encouraged.

yeah, also you can make terrain from foam or paper-mache and use whatever models you want, even dollar "army men" from the supermarket. TC is essentially a free game, as long as you have some dice

That’s not what TC is about.

Demons from Hell have taken over 1/3 of the world, and the Armies Of God are fighting them and trying to push them back into The Pit.

And Christianity didn’t “take over the Earth”.. just the parts of Europe that were historically Christian.

Honestly I’d play against someone with some small plastic zombies with matchsticks for rifles as long as it was game on. We need to get out of the GW mentality honestly. It’s sucking people’s souls (and wallets) dry 🤔

I mean, whatever you put on there still has to follow the rules, unless you’re homebrewing some mega dakka-dakka. And will people notice from 4 feet away? Nope lol

given that in the Trench Crusade universe they have a space program and jet fighters, I wouldn't worry too much about having slightly more advanced rifles. as long as we're not adding plasma pistols to the models, it's all good.

instead of focusing on the lore, focus on open aspect of the game. Totally free rules. design your own factions. your own minis. print them yourself. all "competition legal". it's a new, modern way of making a TT game. so even if the lore isn't your cup of tea, got to applaud them for that.

its a game where a handful of plastic minis fight another handful of plastic minis. dice is involved. as well as over the top-ridiculously gory parodies of real (and not so real) world historical stuff. You're not supposed to take it seriously. unfortunately, 40k became the cult it parodied

actually it's a "miniature agnostic skirmish game". sounds familiar ;)
