So apparently on twitter there's a whole thing going on where anti-woke Warhammer fans performatively stormed out by declaring that they were going to play the horror-themed WWI wargame Trench Crusade instead, only to be mass-banned from its discord because the moderators didn't want a bunch of paleocon trolls stinking up the place.

The thing that blows my mind isn't just that they thought the thoroughly subversive Trench Crusade was positive Christian rep, but that they thought Warhammer 40,000 was. The setting where the messiah is explicitly dead and rotting and was an anti-religion crusader in life. Meanwhile Warhammer Fantasy's Sigmar is much more Thor than Jesus. A lot of conservative evangelicals and tradcaths seem to fall into liking straight up pagan gods if they have a sufficiently macho and traditionalist (western European) aesthetic.

Honestly, this is beyond media illiteracy, it's just straight-up blindness. Obliviousness beyond even the people who think Robocop and Starship Troopers are gung-ho pro-American action movies. Now I'm left to wonder how many fans of the Blasphemous game series are passionate reactionary Christians who get the happy feelings from the aesthetics and totally ignore the story and themes.

Still, I am glad to have learned about Trench Crusade through this, looks like a cool game. Aesthetic and themes kind of remind me of the Trench Foot/Countrycide mod for Doom (which, granted, started off as a Warhammer 40K mod...).

The howls that drift across no man's land are not from beasts of the earth. Your comrades are either dead or in this trench. Anyone who begs for your help at this hour is deceiving you, luring you out into the night. Andras is always gathering new vocalists for their dread choir.

TRENCH CRUSADE

So ages ago I hit up this guy on Grindr, we never ended up doing anything and I got into a relationship, but we send each other memes on Instagram. Anyway, I went over to his place the other day to hang out, and long story short, I like painting these things now.

Please be kind, I am new to this....

The first image is the one he taught me to paint!

Lord knows I don't need any more miniatures games, though that still doesn't stop me, but I see a game that has a unit called "Artillery Witch" and has this art for them:

...then I may not be able to control myself.

Trench Crusade is the game it's from and I believe they have a few models out for it, but it's still just in playtesting at the moment.

Trench crusade going "leave immediately, we aren't doing this shit" to chuds is the funniest imaginable thing a warhammer inspired property could do.

Trench Crusade. He's big, he's lanky, his gun is anti-tanky.
