Trench Crusade's Heretic Legions - Faction Lore and History

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).
In this video, I go through the available lore on the Heretic Legions and their various troops and minions. This is everything we have to date, from official sources, at least.

[@sharojak9401]

These guys are honestly most of all depressing. Many of these people are the same crusaders that fought them and then couldn’t take it anymore, or people who just can’t hold on. It’s so fucking sad.

[@daswordofgork9823]

Every heretic is gangsta until they start hearing the word RIP AND TEAR on the other side of no man’s land.

[@sharojak9401]

This ain’t the kind of world wer they stay dead sadly. These people also long accepted they are fucked.

I wish we had more information on the hell faction it has so much potential also Thank you for making this glorious video may thine Videos grow to be as renowned as the Iron wall

[@scannerbarkly]

I am hoping we will get a lot more lore around specific characters and power players in the faction as time goes on. I'm also really curious about any prominent humans who threw in their lot with the forces of hell!

[@a_random_orthodox_Christian]

@scannerbarkly I agree with you on wanting more information on specific characters and power players like I want to know more about Duke Constantine and the 7th meta christ

[@Nykandros]

We need an entire book dedicated to The Anointed Heretics

[@drakoslayd]

This is even more Chaos than the legions of Failbaddon the Harmless. I cant wait for official models for this!

[@Legio_Purpura_20_18]

I bet militarization of this faction reaches atleast 300%

[@atrios6123]

[@scannerbarkly]

More to come! Will have one dropping on the Iron Sultanate in a couple of hours. :)

These vids are cool af

[@kielbasamage]

The lore is interesting because it's super cool and intriguing. The game is interesting because it lit an M80 firecracker, put it between it's teeth and threw itself head first down a spiral staircase.

[@phelpsbutnotmichal9360]

This is so intense for no reason and I love it And the game isn't even out yet!

[@AC-hj9tv]

Epic as hell

[@orcho141]

Is there any videos on the other faction anywhere?

[@scannerbarkly]

You can find some lore vids on Trench Officers channel here - www.youtube.com/@a_random_orthodox_Christian I shall also be doing more vids myself, with one on The Iron Sultanate coming later today. :)

[@memesofwarhemmer7076]

Time to leave warhemmer and go into a new land. Also kinda sad how this feels more like chaos than the chaos in 40k right now before slannesh had naked demon khorn demons where brutal nurgle was disgusting and tzzench looked like an abomination rather than cute birds 🦅.

[@judeduval5724]

Dude you know those are just popular fan art? That not what the chaos gods look like officially.

[@tunguskalumberjack9987]

[@majortughjedi9813]

Will there be terrain like the art work being sold or will I just have to make my own stuff?

[@scannerbarkly]

I haven't seen anything said about terrain, and it seems likely that adding that new area to cover might be a lot for the small team involved.

[@majortughjedi9813]

@@scannerbarkly Gotcha I'll just use my old castle ruin and temple terrain. That oughta do lol. Thanks for making these videos, me and the bois will be watching this project very closely!

[@lorddragonya]

Cool lore thank you for covering it

[@jimothybilliams8960]

Something ive noticed, and i dont know much about like christian "Demonology" so idk if thats accurate to ttue christian "Lore" but i find it interesting that the sort of home bases of both beezlebub and the Death spectre guy are the 7th layer of hell specifically. Is this following dante's structure of hell where hell is multiple layers designated for each specific sin, or is it just sort of a vague/not elaborated upon "layered" shape? Also quite like the vid, i was exposed to trench crusade like yesterday by some great art/narration channel i dont remember seeing the name of and then got recommended your channel for lore

[@somedudeonline1936]

Genuine question. Isnt god all poewerful why doesnt he just erase all the heretics from existence? Is it a test for humanity?

[@scannerbarkly]

It's a fun question, no doubt. The easy answer is that God did just snap his fingers and put everything right, there wouldn't be much of a game to play. lol We can also argue that God does have direct intervention in the form miracles performed by certain troops, certain technological discoveries that inform weapons and armor, and you could even argue that elements of the world such as the Meta-Christ indicate that he is taking action to help. I think the good thing is that the playerbase will come up with all manner of theories. I like the idea that this is turning mankind into something that it needs to be, one way or the other.

[@baldering]

This is the best shit ever! 🤘

[@declanjones8888]

I must get my hands on this game, hopefully the developer can stop screwing themselves.

[@garretwoeller7669]

So is there a Jewish inspired faction

[@garretwoeller7669]

@@dcyork2703 funny enough the whole demon worshipping Jews thing started because a man asked God for a book of demons that's will let him and his buds build amazing temple for God and they did literally that so technically the chains that hold the demons are Holy

[@scannerbarkly]

At the moment their are only four factions, I assume we shall see more over time. Not entire sure how the devs would or will go about a faction based on the Jewish faith as so far the "faith" concept has been pretty hand in hand with a geographical connection. This is all pre-WWI, so Israel has yet to be established and the Levant has been utterly overrun by the Heretic forces. It would be incredibly cool, frankly, because like most religions there is some super dank stuff to explore in Jewish faith, tradition, and custom. I would guess we will see some homebrew rules at some point, if nothing else.

[@garretwoeller7669]

@@scannerbarkly so looked further into it they are coming all 3 big Abrahamic faiths will have a faction at minimum and with that in mind Jews would be probably represented as a probably secretive elite faction with Wizards and demon controlling powers if what I think they will do with the history of my people like the monks who hurt themselves to become close to God Christians and redemption through pain makes sense so by the logic of Solomon asking God for a book on demons and controlling them is something that is written about so at minimum Kabbalah wizards with Galils.

[@____________838]

I imagine that Seals of Solomon and Kabbalah will be present.
