This is exactly what I was hoping for Not just great game specific terrain but lost of methods and ideas that can be used for basically any other war game with a bit of flavor Very cool to learn about that ink jet printer trick
You could print the banners onto a fine/thin cotton fabric for even greater weathering, taking advantage of any fraying of the fabric. Lots of YTs for this (dollhouse people often make rugs and carpets this way)
I feel like a full on bunker church/cathedral would be a really fitting main structure in this world. It could be like another tower project to drive yourself mad with.
Even though the result is not what you were looking for, those inkjet "decals" turned out fantastic! They look exactly like uncovered frescoes in old churches
I like the idea the bunkers used to have concrete or maybe wooden scaffold that the soldiers would use to access the upper windows. But over the centuries of unending war, those broke down. Turning the bunkers into just cover. Maybe you could build some simple wood platforms or piles of crates that current soldiers might erect to gain access to them again. Something that could bridge gaps in the terrain below, and be swapped out as needed.
“Another Christmas in the trenches.” Your journey into the trenches is great. The excitement makes it a fun watch. I get the same vibes as when you found your style for Idols of Torment. When something clicks it creates the best results.
Definitely makes sense for the prayers to be plastered up where they can be. If you weren’t a believer in God before being pulled into this fight, when you realise you’re fighting against demons, that prayer would suddenly mean a lot more.
The themed bunkers definitely go well for the specific game. The image transfers and poster techniques look really good. I can see the techniques be used to make graffiti or posters for any game.
Love it!!! I was "inspired" with Skull Castle and have been making my own skull buildings and at the same time falling into Trench Crusade. Skulls, trenches, bunkers and crosses! Enjoying your TC journey can't wait for more.
Private Bob: Sergeant, this bunker has a huge gaping hole in the front. Sgt Knacker: Huge gaping _cross-shaped_ hole lad. So the blessings and benedictions can enter more easily. Bob: But Sarge, doesn't that defeat the primarily defensive purpose of a bu- Sgt: No further questions? Good.
The posters are great but I actually really love the extremely faded transfers you did at first. Those look so grimy and old and kind of mysterious. Excellent work
Badass work man! I'd imagine even the most modest bunker owned by the crusaders having hundreds or thousands of graffiti'd crosses since they did that in the First Crusade
I found that using a type of tracing paper for the "decals" worked pretty well and allowed me to weather better with less effort. Becareful tho to not use a coated kind that will resist the ink from the printer.
The cross openings are inspired. Wonder if angling the cuts like castle archer holes would work. The modge podge sorta dry transfers gave a fresco appearance. Really fit the vibe and definitely a technique Id encourage some more experimenting with.
That transfer idea would work perfect for cave paintings, though. In fact, that is what the weathered stone look made me think of to begin with: cave walls.
One thing I’ve always wanted to try but had no idea to go about doing is making walls or scatter terrain cover or hazard area markers from loads of corpses. I play 40K and love the older grimdark lore and thought corpse barricades and obstacles would be sweet but I never had a good idea of how to do it without burning through actually infinity squads
This is fantastic! I've been building some German bunkers for Bolt Action. Been trying to figure out out to put on some iconography. Thanks for the idea!
Next time lay the decals down before you add the grim dark. Hell do a light dry brush of a lighter color in the spot you are applying it too. So it'll pop then knock it down with the grim dark.
@BlackMagicCraftOfficial 🤣 some of my best work were afterthoughts. It still blended in and with terrain it's supposed to be in the background. Top tier work as usual.
It’s important to always use correct terminology. Jokes aside I actually tried to look up what they were called and couldn’t find the right terminology 😄
Just a little pedantic tidbit of information. That's not a crucifix shape, that's just a cross shape. Crucifix is specifically a cross with Christ on it. It comes from the latin "cruci fixus" i.e. "fixed to the cross." To be fair, having a minifig crucified to the front of the bunker would be metal as hell, if not a bit blasphemous.
My only critique is that I think the vertical part of the cross could have been protruding, adding more armor, rather than open, therefore removing armor. Or perhaps have the whole cross be added armor, and then have the gun slit be cut out of the crossbeam.
they look really cool and the modular trenches. looking forward to the next build. I was considering building 2 warbands, so i can play with friends are set on new Antioch or will you be adding a black grail?( thinking of your nurgle amry)
Are the minis for this 28mm? Might be the camera angle but the bunkers look really tall? Like 3 floors tall? They do look great. The oil wash is amazing
I personally can't wait until more armies are created...like the far east or the Americas. Even though this is an alternate grim dark sci fi history, there were alot of societies that actually existed elsewhere in the world during the life of Christ as well.
I disagree with one of your statements: the first attempt at color images on the bunkers looked FANTASTIC... very heavily worn and degraded, as would happen on the front side of a trench.
The problem is that the bunkers are way too tall. half the height will do the trick of having firing slits. the rest of the bunker would be realistic underground anyways so there no need to make it tall or something like that.
Am I the only one who is weirded out with games adding overly religious themes? Like, I don't hate the build at all just the game itself is a but off putting to me. I think it's because it's set in a alternative time line of ours it just makes me uneasy.
Ya, this game isn’t something people should have in their houses. I’ve listened to enough exorcists to know not to play with idolatry like this. Fun fact, Catholic exorcists have been performing more exorcisms per year than there have been baptisms in recent years.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial You can laugh, but it’s my God that’s being mocked with this game. I’m not comfortable with that, and while I understand this seems outlandish to you, I’d encourage you to do your research. We’re not talking about mythology. This is something the majority of the world believed in some form up until about 5 minutes ago, and now people in today’s age think they know better, and it’s not based on any sort of facts or evidence. Most people who claim they know better have done zero research into science, history, or read any religious texts. If I’m wrong, big deal, I don’t play the new fad that’s going to last a month until influencers find something else to push. If I’m right, I won’t bring demonic influence into my house to potentially corrupt by eternal soul. The risk/reward doesn’t seem worth it to me. I’d have to have 100% certainty that there is no god to risk something that foolish, but I’m 100% certain there is a God, just like the majority of notable physicists and scientists of the past centuries, including modern times.

Same, makes me not skip the ad😁
That's a tricky way to make us watch the ads now :P

daaamn these look so cool! really love the final touch with all the religious imagery, it adds so much more to it
KEEP ROCKING! Seriously, you continue making the hobby more badass.
They look amazing.
I love the banners and posters!
This looks utterly amazing. Im here fir anything trench crusade
I really like the first transfer you did. Looked amazing. Think it looked way better then just glue on like the 2nd way
Very nice! Merry Christmas

I'm starting to get really excited for trench crusade
Beautifully simple and effective. The look awesome.
These are so cool. Trench Crusade has such a distinct aesthetic from any other wargame and you pulled it off gloriously.
Awesome! More !
Those look awesome!!

dude these are badass. I really dig the posters and the crucifix firing ports go so hard
Looks great 😍😍
The posters are great but I actually really love the extremely faded transfers you did at first. Those look so grimy and old and kind of mysterious. Excellent work
I like them too, they just need to work a tiny bit better so they are more visible. They get a bit too lost as is.
You could take inspiration from arrow loops and bevel the inside of the cross to give more shooting angles
Badass work man! I'd imagine even the most modest bunker owned by the crusaders having hundreds or thousands of graffiti'd crosses since they did that in the First Crusade
The latin at the end was badass. I love it.
very cool! the cross shaped ports remind me of castle slits!
Amazing work as always!
Holy Huzzah! That texture Rock Of yours lasted throughout the Ages. Truly a Blessing.
duuuude, those bunkers look soo cool. also really easy to make.
great work.
Dude the whole vibe of this project is deeply unsettling. Well done!
been checking back for the past 2 days, made the trenches got them ready for paint and was so curious for what was coming next

Amazing idea
love the trick with the screws

Would be a good way to slap on some wartime posters and banners
this autoplayed after watching a wood working video, and i saw why within a minute. I'm here for it, just didn't expect it.
Nice
Drywall screws as ballast. Genius.

When did you move away from Mod Podge? Do you have a video on that?
several years ago. I don't have a video just about that but I've touched on it a bunch of times in various build videos.
Sick!!!😊😊😊
Dude that's sick, I am going to try my hand at making them lol
I almost exploded when I heard that latin XD great stuff man
I wonder if using a nail at the bottom would look like exposed rebar for more ruined buildings.
My only critique is that I think the vertical part of the cross could have been protruding, adding more armor, rather than open, therefore removing armor.
Or perhaps have the whole cross be added armor, and then have the gun slit be cut out of the crossbeam.
But it’s a shooty hole 😄

I’m going to make a trench pilgrim warband for myself but will probably have to do a second warband to get someone to play with me at first.

Are the minis for this 28mm? Might be the camera angle but the bunkers look really tall? Like 3 floors tall? They do look great. The oil wash is amazing
32mm
I would like to see your ideas for the bunkers and trenches of the other, i guess it would be hellish......
Any thoughts about doing a heretic style bunker or trench
That’s less obvious, but I’m working on it
Love them, but I have to say, the TTS Latin was painful when you know Latin xD
Oh well 🤷🏻♂️
That's because it's a mix between Spanish phonetics reading in a Latin script. xD.........¨espíritus malignos¨......
@ hey stuff got real weird in the Trench Crusade timeline 😄
So with them being so tall and not having the platforms, what was your thoughts in keeping this tall and not shortening them a bit?
Just like the way they look with the big cross…but shortening them would have been a good option and if I make more I’d do some at half height.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Nice, I thought maybe it was an aesthetic choice, and a damn cool one at that. Great work man.
I personally can't wait until more armies are created...like the far east or the Americas. Even though this is an alternate grim dark sci fi history, there were alot of societies that actually existed elsewhere in the world during the life of Christ as well.
FYI a crucifix is a cross with a representation of a crucified body on it. If it doesn't have a body nailed to it, it is a cross, not a crucifix.
True but the words are often used interchangeably by people even if it’s not correct.
Needs more rebar
A little extra rebar is always good choice.
👍👍

Your’e absolutely not wrong, and I think I’ll make some shorter ones as well, but the game is not realistic so it’s ok.
That crucifix in the middle of the bunker is a bit of a health hazard.
It makes the defensive nature of the bunker moot
Nah, you stick a big artillery weapon through it
