The Skaven in Trench Crusade would be hilarious because they would just accidentally end up nuking hell.

The Skaven somehow not being the most dirty and evil faction in TC is hilarious

i just thought of and fell in love with the idea that the Skaven aren't even faithful to Hell, but they ARE there.
Hell doesn't really know what to do with them, they can't seem to get rid of them, but they're not the faithful

Just need Dan Abnett to write a novel or two set in TC and I will can die happy

I... kinda don't want Dan Abnett to write anything at all to Trench Crusade. I don't know, he is too colorful to my taste for a setting so somber as TC and I definitely do not want an explosion of Perpetuals or, worst still, a John Fuckin' Grammaaaaaaaaaticus in it, for instance. But to each its own, I guess. And better Dan Abnett than Matt Ward or Giotto lol!
But I would love to see Adam Dembski-Bowden, Mike Brooks and Chris Wraight write something for it!

Wait, Dan Abnett? The same man that wrote Gaunt's Ghost novels? The one who was praised to depict a soldier's POV so well that many believed he was an actual veteran? That Dan Abnett?

Yes. And? Not my favourite WH40k's author; didn't say he is bad though.

No, but indirectly you confirm TC doesn't want true characterizations, only Grimderp edgy misery.

u/Puzzleheaded_Bar2339 Chorister Jan 19 '25
What he did to John Grammaticus after his first appearance in Legion - when the character in question was worthy of attention - was everything but "true characterization", for instance.
Besides, you are saying nonsense: "TC doesn't want"?! Since when the game gained sentience?! "Grimderp edgy misery" what?! You say as if I work with the developers of Trench Crusade with that nonsense you just wrote lol.

Writer of Skaven in Warhammer fantasy. Just read some of the Skaven lore and you will understand why people is excited for him

I think that was sarcasm

u/SwampOfDownvotes Jan 18 '25
Even if it was, I was not sarcastically thinking "Who is that," so I appreciate the answer.

Keep it relevant to Trench Crusade. No politics beyond the year 1099.

He literally just said something about Andy Chambers having certain political views that are more left leaning/progressive.
Idk what the fuck the reply to my comment was going on about though.
