Guild Ball – Butcher’s Guild
Guild Ball - Butcher's Guild
Guild Ball – Fisherman’s Guild
What I thought I would do here is take an initial look at the different Guilds available for season one starting with the Fisherman’s Guild. Because I’ve only had a couple of demo games so fare I’m really only looking at the ‘Fluff’ and trying to give you feel for the different teams. Just like in any team different players fill different roles and the Fishermen come across as being a team that will be all about movement. They are a very offensive team with lots of cooperative options in their ‘Playbook’ that allow them to work together and as such they can be very quick to get the first…
What is Guild Ball
I’ve mentioned a few times that I have been waiting for the Guild Ball Kickstarter to arrive but I don’t think I’ve ever actually explained what is. So for anyone out there that isn’t aware of what it is here’s a bit of an introduction. To start with it’s a table, top fantasy football style, miniatures game set in the Empire of Free Cities. Anywhere people gather games will take place so one game may be on a pristine field, another in the town square and yet another on the dockside, anything goes. These games are played out between teams from different ‘Guilds’. Each ‘Guild’ has its own style of…
Weekly Waffle #15
Ok where to start with his week’s weekly waffle. I’ve continued to add more content to the site, specifically the galleries, since last week’s update. There are now six different galleries up and running and I’ve even made sure that I’ve added descriptions to all of the individual images, which was a really exciting job. But not half as exciting as going back over all the previous posts on the site and adding ‘tags’ to them, all so that it will be possible to search for content. Having said that now that it’s done I’ve learnt my lesson and I’ll be making sure it’s part of any future updates. On…
Dystopian Wars – Russian Coalition
The Russian Coalition is one of the greatest powers on earth. Its ruler commands the people, wealth and resources of over a sixth of the world’s entire landmass. And yet, still it is not enough for him. Within the game the Russian Coalition are like street brawlers and work best when they get up close and personal. They have relatively short ranged weapons, although they are devastating when you do get them into range. And to help you close on the enemy they have some of the heaviest armour in the game. Here we have the undisputed king of the Russian Fleet, a Moskva Class Dreadnought. In battle the mighty…
Weekly Waffle #14
This week’s weekly waffle is a little be thin on the ground. I’ve spent the week away from home so haven’t had chance to do any sort of hobby stuff. What I have done though is armed myself with the laptop and I’ve done quite a bit of work on the site. The most obvious change has been a bit of re-branding. I’ve been working on the new logo for some time now but have just never got round to doing the finishing touches. So with all this time on my hands I’ve pulled my finger out and got things finished so I hope you like it. Next up I’ve…
Weekly Waffle #13
A really mixed week for this week’s weekly waffle. It actually started last weekend when I had a few games of X-Wing and I’m now hooked. A few of my friends have been playing it since it came out and I’ve had a few games in the past but never got the bug. Then last Saturday I played a few games using a YT-2400, because I really like the look and the fluff in the expanded universe. As it turns out it’s also fun to play so I’m now going to have to look at building up a 100 point list and wee where we go from there. Guild ball…
Weekly Waffle #12
For this week’s weekly waffle I’ve been working to finish off some of the Batman models from last week. I’ve managed to get some of the basic objective markers finished off and made some progress on the Joker gas cylinders but these still need some free hand to finish them off. Next up we have the Riddler which I am really happy with. I think the green really stands out especially with some of the darker detail. I use purple for the darker sections after finding some examples of these colours on line. They will also carry through it I use him as part of the Joker crew as I…
Weekly Waffle #11
I didn’t do a weekly waffle last week because a good friend of mine who I’ve known since we were kids passed away and I just didn’t feel that producing an update was somehow appropriate. But the whole experience has made me think that it’s important to enjoy what we have and for me that includes my hobby which has been something of an escape for me over the last couple of weeks. Just a way to escape for a while. So what have I been up to? Well first off I have been getting busy with the green stuff and making some base inserts. I’ve made a batch for…
Weekly Waffle #10
It’s been a bit of strange week for this week’s weekly waffle . For as long as I can remember our gaming club night has been on a Wednesday night. But things change and we’ve had to move it to a Tuesday, nothing drastic in that but it’s become such a routine for me that I’ve been all over the place this week with the move. I guess it really is hard to teach an old dog a new trick. But I’m sure I’ll get used to in. So what did I manage to do this week? First up I’ve done a bit more conversion, or more actually, scratch building.…
