Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 The rules are designed by Tuomas Pirinen who designed GW's Mordheim skirmish game and the concept artist is Mike Franchina who previously worked on Diablo IV (no surprise there!) Trench Crusade WWW.TRENCHCRUSADE.COM Quote During the First Crusade, the armies of the Church captured the Holy City. Under the most holy of temples, the Knights Templar discovered secret vaults and, within them, an ancient demonic artefact. The Templars, blinded by greed and with weakness in their hearts, fell to their knees. They had found a new lord. Seeing the unholy wisdom of which the artefact spoke, they began trafficking with devils and committing all manner of unspeakable rites. This was the First Heresy. The armies of the Church retreated and Jerusalem became a depraved pit where Hell and our mortal plane now bled into one. For eight centuries the Church has waged its crusade to take back the Holy City. The landscape has been utterly devastated, criss-crossed with thousands of miles of mud, trenches and craters. The crusade is now waged with armies wielding terrifying weaponry, and both sides conjure up supernatural beings of such immense power they are nigh unstoppable. Even with such incalculable might, the armies are at a stalemate. This is the Trench Crusade.

I approve of the use of verdigris in that art though; nice contrast! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
