The Anvil of New Antioch (Trench Crusade Lore) 

Someone out grimdarked Warhammer 40K. NOICE!

​​@@christophseidl3341 they didnt outgrimdark 40k, this takes inspiration from older Warhammer editions writing and John Blanche's grimdark asthetics and is quite similiar to that tone. 40k just got considerable less grimdark from what it was.

That’s cool, this setting is really good, why there is this controversy around it?

​@alessiogiovannetti513 nazis got upset with 40k, they saught haven within this setting and then we're told to stuff it. No actual controversy, just chuds seething.

Like the "Immortals" who guarded the "King of Kings" of the Achemenid Persian Empire. One falls, another takes their title, rank, and position. Back then, it was a son or the like. The Heavenly Heavy Infantry probably are not so picky.

it is, "DEUS VULT!"

Let's find a compromise FOR THE GOD EMPEROR!

I See Warhammer fans

​@@davidoof9256gee i wonder why, its almost as its just a straight copy of warhammer, space marines much?

DEUS VULT

not a gatling gun, but still very cool

maxim and gatling are two last names of the creators of 2 different machine guns.

Maxim guns aren't gatling guns, they have 1 barrel surrounded in a water cooling shroud.

@bogdanmeoff2399 exactly my point.

Being faced with death means people turn to religion more often. You see it after natural disasters and in war too.

Con las cabezas abajo y rogando que nadie nos encuentre jajaja

Its a maxim gun

what happened?

You remind me of those folks who have only ever read one book, so absolutely everything becomes relevant to the book. "Omg, guys, a suit of fucking armor, medieval France was just like Warhammer 40k".

I feel bad for your wallet.

@@Saruman_Ring-Maker lol i dont buy that shit either😄😄😄😄😄

@@scannerbarkly i like this joke i am stealing it

​@@raigarmullerson4838 To poor? i know dame well your opinion means shit if you cant afford to even expense the media

7 is a sacred number in the Abrahamic faiths.

7 days 7 tribes and families 7 mortal sins 7 heavenly virtues and can be multiplied and the lineage of Jesus has a common factor of 7 so yeah it checks out

Seven Pillars of Wisdom

7 is important in most Abrahamic faiths as is. So the parallel in trench crusade fits rather snugly.

ah yes and his heavy bolter the vickers machine gun

do you mean like fallout dust?

@@heliveruscalion9124 paulo parente's dust. Sad it went out of production.

Heeeee. Not really. If they were fed metachrist than they might become such.

Haha I love this

Never mentioned in the lore up till now

If I had to guess (and believe me, this is just a guess) the focus will be on the current starting factions and Europe/Levant, and then we'll see America explored in a "expansion" down the road if it is all goes well. That's what I would do, anyway. Gotta keep the level of work manageable, but definitely want to be able to give people fun additional lore and factions over time.

Europe and the Middle-East's recources may be mostly soaked up by the perpetual war, so the Americas may have avoided colonisation by Europe. (Whether China has made its way over there in this universe is another question.)

@@zalankarpati4387I think it was mentioned that the Sultanate tries on trading through the Silk Road

Honestly since the crusades caused Europe to spend all resources on fighting hell it would be awesome if a faction of native american shamans just pop in at the climax of fighting and they're the ones to push the demons back to hell.

Already taken (even though they are traitors)

Apparently the MHI will be getting a little love soon! Curious to see what kind of buff they get.

No Trench Crusade has its own identity, although they are open about the fact they take inspiration from older lore and art of 40k when it was more grimdark.
