"Into The Trenches" - First Game of Trench Crusade

During the Crusades, a heretical band of Templars  dared defy the Almighty,  unleashing the hordes of Hell upon the Earth.  Over 800 years later, this merciless war  between the forces of Mankind and Hell still rages on. - Trench Crusade Hello readers all, welcome back to yet another Friday on The Art of Caesura! We're right in the middle of looking at my first Trench Crusade warband - The Folly of Nudd. But, today we're going to take a pause from our regularly scheduled look at the next member of the warband, to report on my very first game of Trench Crusade! My first game of Trench Crusade ever (after having been there right from the start - following the first Kickstarter) was a great bash-up between my Cult of the Black Grail (The Folly of Nudd) and my friend Eoghan's (pronounced Owen, for our non-Irish readers) Eire Rangers (An Taoide Dearg - "The Red Tide"). We cobbled together a battlefield with a mix of Warhammer terrain, and a few printed and handmade Tre...

He has 10" base movement and the fly keyword, meaning ...

"Busy Buzzing Everywhere!" - Herald of Beelzebub - Part 1

The Heralds are the vanguard  in any assault of the Black Grail,  and the ear-numbing drone of their wings  strikes terror in any defender,  breaking their focus and sapping their willpower. - Trench Crusade Welcome back Caesura fans! It's time for The Art of CAESURAAAAAA!! Ahem, thanks, glad I got that out of my system. It's an exciting time to be in the Caesura-land. I'm really really enthused about Trench Crusade, and some of my friends are really getting into it too! One of my buddies has turned a kilogram of air-dry clay into hundreds (and hundreds) of sandbags! Behind the scenes, I'm actually starting on my SECOND Trench Crusade army and am anxiously awaiting the opportunity to play my first game! Now, on to today's topic! We're working our way through my Cult of the Black Grail warband. We started with the Thralls , we've seen how I'm making my Black Grail bases , we've painted the doggies , and most recently the Corpse Guard . Today, we'r...
