The Council of Saints - The Church's greatest weapon in the war against Hell (Trench Crusade Lore)

Once again, I added some stuff, but this is mostly Tuomas's OG lore.
Trench Crusade is an upcoming skirmish game designed by artist Mike Franchina, sculptor James Sheriff, and former Games Workshop designer Tuomas Pirinen (He who made Mordheim).

Born too late to discover new lands, too soon to voyage the solar system, just in time to watch the birth of Trench Crusade :-)

I mean if you live long enough to 2060 then maybe you will explore the solar system while seeing the brith of trench crusade

Imperium seems like a walk in the compared to trench crusade, and that's saying alot

[@wynnnnnnn5227]

At least this isn't as bad as living on Terra

[@josephquinnswolin3500]

[@sarubet8725]

​@@wynnnnnnn5227this is terra. Invaded by the actual hell instead of dollar store space hell.

[@nutshot_brawler8466]

Calling the Imperium a "walk in the park" to Trench Crusade is overstating it a bit, because they fight against the "xeno, daemon, and heretic", in Trench Crusade, it's just demon and heretic

[@jacobirving8999]

This is so very fascinating. I pictured a much more complete resurrection when I heard about the saints but this is way more appropriate for Trench Crusade.

[@NintendoDude360]

So basically the high lords of terra but less grimderp and more competent?

Indeed

Trench crusade sure has an interesting lore. I always wanted to know more about this Council of Saints and you did not disappoint! I've also grown accustomed to the sound of your voice idk how to describe it but I think it fits the scene very well! Good job and thanks for your work!

[@scannerbarkly]

Thanks you! I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. :)

The intro to this video just put the image in my head of the swiss Guard in their goofy uniforms having to fight actual deamons.

[@warmonster9]

Why not clone the saints like they did for the MetaChrist?

[@ilanselaphiel2557]

The lore implies that the Metachrist are malformed both physically and mentally, relying heavily on the "translation" of Mendelist Monks: "Its ruined mouth could not form the words, but it grunted noises that the mendelist monk translated as "Take, eat; this is my body." And the meta-christ did leak blood from its eyes and mouth, which the medelist monk caught in a chalice, once again translating the meta-christ's painful noises, "Drink ye all of it..." So it doesn't seem to hold the divine wisdom and premonition the Saints have. Better to leave them as is.

@@ilanselaphiel2557the metachrists are also implied to be clones of Jesus only in propaganda

[@ilanselaphiel2557]

@@ttterg6152 I mean, that I do believe is real considering how it's through the use of Metachrists that superpowered beings like Communicants or Paladins are created. I honestly don't see how a Paladin could survive Hell if they didn't have a MetaChrist's blood coursing through their veins.

[@ttterg6152]

@@ilanselaphiel2557 if they were clones of Jesus they wouldn’t need translators ,nor there to be other clones. The miracles Jesus performed include: multiplications of organic material ,which would eliminate the need for other metachrists. The annihilation of a legion of demons with a single word, which eliminates the need for soldiers. Making His Apostles understand all languages (The Holy Spirit did this one, but He is generated By The Son and The Father, so it stands), which eliminates the need of translators. The Ascension to Heaven which took His Body alive, which eliminates all genetic material.

I’m not surprised that Saint Barbara the patron saint of artillerymen and engineers is one of the lead saints in a world set around tench warfare

[@MorningLightMtn]

Interesting that despite Hell's direct interference to the communion to the saints, the forgeries and theor attempts of corruption, they did not say even once that they have corrupted the Saint directly. Always they target the mortals. And I doubt the prideful, vain demons would keep quiet if they managed to corrupt a Saint. Which means, despite Hell's best efforts, they cannot corupt a mortal soul that has been embraced by God like those of the Saints.

[@JaimeBlackwater-io6vl]

Meaning if God wasn't so stingy with his love there wouldn't be so many souls ripe for corruption. Tsk tsk.

[@ttterg6152]

@@JaimeBlackwater-io6vlbecause not all souls fully want to be with God. You, an atheist, me , an albanian catholic, and a random monk all have the same opportunities to become saints. But will you devout yourself to live just like you were in Heaven? Heaven is an upside down kingdom where you will have to serve the ones below you just like God does. Will you devout your life to serving to others , washing their feet, expect nothing in exchange just out of sheer love for others and God? No, you won’t and therefore you will never become a Saint and perform miracles.

To think that the discovery of these relics has so much weight on the war reminds me of how the shift of the US Civil War in the Unions favor can all be effectively traced to some guy finding the Gettysburg battle plans hidden in a cigar case.
