    Bonesaw

    When we start to look at the grim world of Guild Ball, where every match feels like a battle of wits and wills, there exists a figure who embodies the dark humour and brutal efficiency of the Morticians: Bonesaw. Imagine a player who thrives on chaos, wielding his cleaver with a grin that could chill the blood of even the fiercest opponents. Bonesaw is not just a character; he’s a metaphor for the Morticians’ philosophy, a blend of macabre joy and ruthless ambition. Let’s dive into the lore of Bonesaw, the man who is as much a part of the Morticians’ identity as their shadowy captain, Obulus. In the official…

    Graves

    In the Morticians’ lore, Graves is exactly what his name suggests — a man bound to the guild through his trade as a gravedigger. He’s not the glamorous face of the organisation like Obulus, nor the sadistic surgeon like Scalpel, nor the screaming banshee like Cosset. Graves is the one who handles the aftermath. Someone has to dig the holes. Someone has to make sure the dead stay where they belong. Someone has to get on with the dirty, thankless work while everyone else is basking in the limelight. That’s Graves. And there’s a quiet menace to him. He doesn’t need to shout. He doesn’t even need to threaten. His…

    Obulus – Master of Strings

      Now we can have a look at what Obulus brings to the table top and a bit of a look at his in game law. There’s a moment, in every game of Guild Ball, where you realise you’re not the one in control. You think you’ve got the ball, you think you’ve got the play lined up, you think you’re about to make the kind of move that wins you the cheers of your club night comrades and a pint on the way home. Then you look up, and you see Obulus smiling that smile. The smile that says, actually, friend, you were never the one making the decisions…

  • Weekly Waffle #409 –  The Quiet Threat

    Weekly Waffle #409 –  The Quiet Threat 24th January 2026 For this week’s weekly waffle on the hobby front we are firmly wrapped up in the world of ground hog day, and if you haven’t seen that film go and find it. It’s been a ground hog day because I’m still working on getting the Morticians finished before I move onto anything new. So that’s why the hobby update will feel a little ground hog day. But I have been up to quite a few things away from the hobby that have kept me busy. Trying to get all of paperwork sorted out for my holiday. Making sure my visa…

    Weekly Waffle #406 –   It’s Always Casket Time

    Weekly Waffle #406 –   It’s Always Casket Time 20th December 2025 For this week’s weekly waffle I’ve stayed with the morticians, which I have to say even for a grinch like me feels a little odd with Christmas right around the corner. It’s been a very odd week with lots of last minute things. Be that work things that absolutely have to done this week or the world will end. Despite the fact no one is going to be there to do anything with it. Or those last minute things that have to be done for Christmas. Although I think we are only feeding a large regiment and a…
