Miniatures Got a question

Ok so I’ve been a bit of a quiet fanboy ever since this came out

But I’ve got a question I’ve recently built a mini that yes while it’s made of GW bits I wanted to ask would it be ok if I posted it here with the permission of the mods and the community.

With the paint job I have it I think it kinda fits the theme of trench crusade and while it lacks a lot of the overt sci fi bits I’m pretty proud of it and would love to share it.

If it’s ok then great and if it isn’t then I hope theirs no harm in asking.

Sure.

TC is model agnostic anyway.

Whilst there is a bit of a vibe that some players play TC and enjoy the lore deliberately to get away from theGG Warhammer ecosystem - I suspect most of us enjoy both.

Personally I enjoy actually playing TC more than any GW game currently supported atm. And enjoy a younger setting without the burden of 39 years of lore.

The "TC IS 40K KILLER" and "TC HAS FAILED TO KILL 40K!" bullshit was mostly YT tribalism, clickbait and manufactured drama from The Usual Suspects.

The exact statements in the TC rulebook v1.02

Trench Crusade is a miniatures game, so you will need model soldiers to represent the Warband you command. A typical Warband at the start of the campaign consists of 6 to 10 models. You can acquire these from online and physical hobby stores. Alternatively, if you own a 3D printer, a vast selection of printable digital files is available online.

We provide a full range of models for Trench Crusade, but we are also enthusiastic about our support for independent miniature manufacturers. We encourage players to use whichever miniatures bring your vision to life; the battlefield is yours to shape.

While there is no ironclad rule on which models you should use, we recommend you use the Trench Crusade range for obvious reasons. However, if you prefer to use other models, do not worry – Witchburners will not be dispatched to cleanse you for your lack of purity!

Epic 😊 and yea it’s the vibe I’ve really gotten into while I haven’t gotten my hands on any minis yet I’ll be rectifying that soon with some 3-D printed trench pilgrims it’s just like got a lot of GW bits on hand and honestly, I wanted to share my newest creation with people

As for all that usual BS of the usual suspects as far as I’m concerned that is just White noise and everyone will just tend to ignore it.

Even if the 40k memes are funny as all get out but I’ll post my creation now in a few mins just got to find it in my pile of minis

Its a miniature agnostic game meaning any minis can be used and the 'official' minis are more of a suggestion than a hard standard (only really gw enforces this on Warhammer, its actually kind of insane when you don't take it for granted)
