Trench Crusade - a skirmish-scale tabletop miniatures game for those who think Warhammer 40K isn't grimdark enough


Recommended Posts

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!)

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.

 

This is the lore primer if you're interested in learning more about the setting:

But this should give you a sense of what I'm talking about :p
