I know quite a bit about the known lore so I'll make some corrections as I understand them, or clarifications: - The reason Hell hasn't beaten the forces of the Faithful yet is precisely as was pointed out; they spend as much time fighting each other and trying to squeeze ahead as they do the enemy. The politics of Hell are cutthroat, and chairs for positions of nobility are constantly shifting. Think of Skavendom; they are so self-centered and scheming that they cannot stand to see another benefit before them. One of the prime Arch-Devils who is responsible for dragging out the war so long is Mammon, the Arch-Devil of Greed, wanting to stretch out the war for as long as possible until he is in a position to prosper. Beelzebub just doesn't participate in Court politics, and does his own thing with the Black Grail, leaving the Gluttony Throne empty for lesser demons to squabble over. - The Court of the Seven-Headed Serpent is the direct servants of the Arch-Devils. They are the closest thing to demonic in Trench Crusade in terms of army. The Forces of Hell cannot bring true demons to Earth, because of the Covanent of Hell; God made a pact that if Hell allows demons on Earth, God will retailiate in kind and initiate the Day of Judgement. The Court circumvents this covanent by cross-breeding demons with mortals and animals, making them hybrid bastard children that can leave Hell and act on behalf of their masters. - The Seven-Headed Serpent represents the Seven Deadly Sins, of which there are... well, seven. Lust, Pride, Greed, Gluttony, Sloth, Envy, and Wrath. Each is occupied by an Arch-Devil, who leads a hierarchy of lesser demons under them. The Court votes democratically on war decisions, often with razor-thin margins, but most of the time they scheme and backstab each other anyway to get ahead. - The Faithful and Heretic forces don't really have 'equivilants' to each other. They play very differently. Trench Pilgrims are a melee-focused rush-faction. Heretic Legion are a flexible, adaptable faction, normally longer range though. New Antioch is a very tactically minded faction and has a lot of internal synergies. Court is an Elite-Focused faction with huge units and spellcasters. Black Grail is a slow snowballing faction. And The Sultanate is a self-enhancing adaptable faction. - The Communicant has less to do with faith, and more to do with what they eat; a Communicant is one who has consumed the flesh and blood of a Meta-Christ, which is what the Church claims to be the cloned flesh of Jesus Christ. These poor things are constantly flayed and eaten to mutate Communicants into hulking behemoths. They're just kinda lumpy flesh clones of Jesus the Church keeps locked in their basement. Communicants join Trench Pilgrim processions to assist in the battle against Hell. Some Communicants sell their services as mercenaries to either New Antioch officers or processions of Trench Pilgrims that can scrape together the coin on their march. - Stigmatic Nuns/Monks are those who willingly participate in the practice of Stigmata: wounding themselves in a ritualistic manner that reflects the wounds of Jesus Christ, or the Meta-Christs. Sustaining wounds supernaturally invigorates them and makes them stronger, which is why they're running into battle butt-ass naked. Think that's it. Most of the other stuff you said or had questions on were generally accurate. Some other notes I can make here: - Although the war has been raging for 800, it is not constant warfare. There will often be lulls of quiet in the Trench Crusade timeline, followed by periods of intense violence. So its not necessarily a constantly esculating battle. The Arch-Devils are immortal beings who do not percieve time as humans do, which means their logic in their invasion plans follow this similarly esoteric function; often they'll dedicate large amounts of resources to destroy a seemingly desolate and unimportant village just to kill a single baby that may grow up to be a Saint, or strike at a warband seemingly on their side without reason. This makes their invasion patterns difficult to predict. - Trench Pilgrims are based on a real life concept; The People's Crusade. This was a pre-crusade mob of tens of thousands of peasents who wanted to get to crusading early, riled up by basically a cult leader named Peter The Hermit. So they marched to try and crusade in the Holy Land... Only it was a lot further than they thought and they said, "Y'know what, we're hungry, tired, and bored, lets go burn some Jewish ghettos" and initiated the Rhineland Massacres. In the end they burned more villages down in Europe than they did in the Holy Lands. Lol.
Lest be honest though Warhammer is never going to replaced by Trench Crusade I feel like it might have its own community which I will be apart of but warhammer will always be first it’s just to well established and theirs just so much lore that Trench Crusade doesn’t have a hope of matching. That being said I do think it’s going to be fun
no one is saying it'll replace anything buddy. thats your own interpretation. CA existed for over 40 years so chill, if anything Trench Crusade will only provide a healthy competition for the overall market that CA has held a complete monopoly over. a little reminder the entire franchise bin basically stagnated for more than a decade and minies arent as popular as they used to thanks to their pricing and their consumer unfriendlyness that theyve bin known to have.
The title says its going to give warhammer a run for its money, so why do you chill? Id love for TC to kick off but to say give warhmer a run for its money isnt even close to on the money. @@dendrien
how is this "serious" competition warhammer 40k is literally a multibillion franchise with almost 40 years of table top, lore, books, series and video games, trench crusade didn't even start production of miniatures yet
its called marketing buddy. also 40K increase of popularity is primarily due to Total war resent years rather than their actual minature sales. CA has mostly stayed stagnated and lets be honest become more tame and their models arent selling as much as it used to. in fact what makes a competition is costs. CA maybe bin around for about 40 years but they sure as hell stagnated their sales. theres a reason why total war was the main beneficiary for the last decade and now amazon and guess what, its the lore rather than minis that peaked the interest. again cost of a products dicates the market. Trench Crusade is a new concept a concept with a reasonable cost and maintaining the edgy Horror theme that CA bin toning down resently.
Please get off my page man, I’ve asked you nicely to leave MULTIPLE times, I don’t want to hit the block button but I will if I have to, I am asking NICELY and FAIRLY don’t make me do it
I’m interested in seeing what people think about painting the minis. It will be either really simple or incredibly annoying. There are few colors but seems to be a lot of small details
Trench Crusade is certainly interesting and I look forward to following it, but its not touching warhammer any time soon if ever. Luckily we can enjoy both
I hate to say it but no miniatures warhame has ever, and will never be as powerful as the warhammer IP. this game looks great but warhammer untouchable. It's also more attractive to the youth due to aesthetics. Trench crusade seems to have huge appeal to us older gamers.
definitely warhammer (edit: i meant if you're referring to the power of their respective universes - if youre talking about popularity and success, time will tell!)
Just name it a trench crusade video. A lot of people know about it so try for more direct comparison content. This is what my agency literally looks for when we commission influencers. No go
it ISNT super creative tho is it. . .its really cool and I love that people are trying to create new things, im very much supportive of that, but theres quite a lot in that video is basically just a variation of something already done by 40k. . .Templars, Dreadnoughts, gasmasks, fervent Religiosity, . . . look at the Black Grail image, its basically a great unclean one with a gold helmet on, you even said 'Death Guard squared'. . . be honest. . . its cool but its just a 40k thematic reskin.
yeah about that. 40K isnt original either buddy. so take a chill pill why dont you. dont comment about artistic creativity when you have no clue what creativity even is. also a healthy reminder. CA is a company that existed for more than 40 years and mostly stayed stagnated. Trench Crusade is a startup and havent existed for a half decade.
Everything in life is taken out of inspiration from one thing or another to varying degrees. Yes, the likeness's of trench crusade and warhammer seem to be nearly one to one in ways, but reguardless, everything else about it seems to have a fresh original take from the lore down to the individual designs for the most part. Its someones reimagined, and inspired take on a grimdark universe centered around religious iconograohy and connotations. personally i think they did a very good job designing a coming up with the universe that they imagined. It may just be the next "WH40K" in a sense, because imagine how warhammer started out in the 80s. Im sure it was very similar to this in how they started up. Even warhammer took pages from lord of the rings and dune.
It did until it did a goofy move of hiring people who like the female custodes crap basically the type we're going to drag down the hobby eventually Not now it might be popular heck it might even explode but it'll bite it down the long run It's kind of like cancer😅. I mean I'm kind of either way I like it or seems cool seems a little boring without no futuristic stuff but hey that's fine I guess as long as they can keep it interesting

Definitely the best full length Trench Crusade video you have made so far!
Thanks for talking about Trench Crusade, you really introduced me to this amazing universe with the shorts too and I'm happy to find this too :)
Ty! Glad you like the videos! This comment means alot :)

The Pilgrims - The Kreigsmem,
The New antioch - The space marines
The Paladins - The Primarchs
how is this "serious" competition warhammer 40k is literally a multibillion franchise with almost 40 years of table top, lore, books, series and video games, trench crusade didn't even start production of miniatures yet
Its clickbait. Trench Crusade and their devs have no intention on 'competing' with Warhammer.
Well with 40k now being owned by Amazon outright, this might be an alternative once they get the Lore fucked up with agenda pushing.
I think it's way cooler than 40k personally. Once it catches on I bet it'll get a fatty cult following.
interesting that my comment was removed, TH-cam...

@@braid.nation geez he just saying some thing no reason to be rude
@thebot-sy6dnI know what is the context
@@TheUnityv13 what he just saying that warhammer needs more jesus there is no problem with that
but if he said for him to get of his page than yea he should respect his request but it is his opinion
Imagine if a dev studio picks up trench crusades
I am so happy to see more grim dark tabletop games like this emerge.
Wait, is this a full video?!?!?!
I’m interested in seeing what people think about painting the minis. It will be either really simple or incredibly annoying. There are few colors but seems to be a lot of small details
15:32 the people who made this knew what they were doing with this design 💀💀
this is the video of all time
I didn’t know warhammer was like dnd. just to know about all the information on trench crusade is interesting
Very informative video, thank you!
Need a Trinity MMO out of this please.
Trench Crusade is certainly interesting and I look forward to following it, but its not touching warhammer any time soon if ever. Luckily we can enjoy both
Though I'm more ivested in Trench Crusade more than the current modern 40k setting. As a 40k fan.
I hate to say it but no miniatures warhame has ever, and will never be as powerful as the warhammer IP. this game looks great but warhammer untouchable. It's also more attractive to the youth due to aesthetics. Trench crusade seems to have huge appeal to us older gamers.
there are definitely more then 7 rings of hell
If both these games went to war who would win
definitely warhammer (edit: i meant if you're referring to the power of their respective universes - if youre talking about popularity and success, time will tell!)
this shi is crazyyyyyy
wait this is so cool
AT-43 was also good.
But the Black Death has been around since 5000 bce
I’m new to all this but unless I can walk into a FLGS and buy models… no thanks
The art is just
Muahh
Just name it a trench crusade video. A lot of people know about it so try for more direct comparison content. This is what my agency literally looks for when we commission influencers. No go
Isn't it still in development? It's already "serious competition"?
potential competition. competition doesnt automatically mean a winner. so relax.

It's actually middle East, not East Asia
