Ben stops off with the guys at Steam Forged Games for a chat about what's been happening in the Guild Ball universe.
Don't forget by commenting on this post you could win a Season Two Bundle.
Aweseome new stuff they have available. Can’t wait to get my hands onto the Hunters Guild :)!
Can´t wait for Season 2… ^^
I really need to look into this game I hear so much good stuff and the minis are amazing
Can’t wait to give this a go ….
Guild Ball seems like a winner in my book, medieval soccer done right 🙂 Plus nice to see some extra Dark souls footage in this vid!
Season 2 sound really good
Ben dude… show more of the minis and board. 😀
interesting
Excellent game.
The campaign system might lure me finally into Guild Ball
Guild ball has looked awesome from day one.
Looks very nice, not hear of them.
Glad to see this game having success! I need to finish assembling my teams and get playing!
I went in heavy on Dreadball early on so haven’t looked too hard at Guildball until recently. It really interests me. Free minis might give me the push to try a game.
Oh Guild Ball is going nuts over here atm, I’m moving house so can’t afford it yet, but end of the month I’m looking to get a team.
Ooh Shiny 🙂
would love to win as im all out of GB stuff to paint.
Cool looking Dark Souls board. I love games with good campaign systems
Oh my good i’m definitively in love with this game
Looking forward to giving Guild Ball a try.
All the new stuff looks great. Had a demo game at the local club a few weeks back, and thinking of taking it up myself.
Really like the look of this just need to find time to give it a go.
woo
Nice bit of behind the scenes there going on in the video 😉 I don’t think many noticed though might have got away with it. Really like the look of the Hunters Guild.
I’ve been trying to resist getting into another game but I can feel my willpower draining away 🙂
exactly
Likewise.
Guild ball is an excellent game. Great to see it explode in popularity after the kickstarter
Got in on the Guildball kickstarter as an insider, haven’t regretted it for a second. I’ll definitely be having a look at the Darksouls one once it starts.
love this game, really want, yes plz
Commenting for prize 😉
Sweet!
Our local club just started guildball!
Very happy to see that this game is still going so strong.
Was wondering what the queue here was all about.
never heard of this game before today, I’ll have to take a look
Sweet. My morticians guild figs literally just arrived yesterday. Can’t wait for season 2. 🙂
hope these guys are at the uk games expo as i have always wanted to play guild ball. is it anything like the old bloodbowl?
the review on BoW on the hunters was good and the minis look ace!
I fall in love in 2015. For me the best TableTop the last 20 years.
Hunters guild looks really cool, darks soul sound amazing too
I haven’t had the chance to get into this game yet, looks really interesting though.
Cant wait to see how the campaign system will play out!
Omg Guild Ball Manager? Oh sorry Campaign systems, looks cool.
This looks like it could be fun.
Brewers and Mason Teams are on my painting table as we speak- but those Hunters are next, methinks!..
Thinking about in gettin into this! Looks like fun!
This game just hit here locally. I am really excited about it.
Tons of buzz for Guildball these days. GW may be ‘late’ to the game with Blood Bowl relaunch.
The Hunters guild look top notch, i’m excited to see what they bring out in the future
So so so loving this game… just got into it (yeah, late, I know…) and have already gotten 3 starter sets, expanded 2 of them to 6 model teams (can’t say 6 man teams as of course the ladies and the mascots have to have their presence known!!!)…. Had an epic battle with my Butchers taking it to the Engineers in a slugfest.. no goals scored.. just Butchers being Butchers.. lol… next up is getting my Alchemists up to full strenght and starting to pepper in some Union players to mix things up and try out some different tactics!!! Great job Steamforged!!!
The whole of season 2… The whole… If I won this you may find my body in the hole dig by the missus…
This fantasy “football” type game is starting to pluck my interest.
I’ve just bought my first team the butchers and I love this game can’t wait for the second season rulebook
This game looks like an absolute winner and a blast to play as well!
Interesting been curious about this game
If I find other players in my area I’ll probably give GB a shot
Can’t wait for Season 2 GO FISH!
First guild ball, now souls, talk about a good start for a company
Awesome game.
No question, Guild Ball is the best game I have played in decades. Combines all the best things about Warhammer, Warmahordes and Malifaux and then sticks it on a football pitch. Extremely accessible, really fun and much deeper than it looks on the surface. I love it, and I can’t wait to get into season 2.
Played my first game of GB last night. Had a demo game at my club Trinity in Taunton. Played as Butchers against Fishermen. Waow, now I know why it’s so hard to introduce people to Infinity. The game is great.
Just got into Guildball recently and a second team to go with season2 would be a grand prize.
Awesome! Another game I’d love to play.
Love everything about guildball . The series one rule book is gorgeous and the story is really engaging.
Been meaning to check out this game for a while, I think the miniatures are fabulous and I’ve heard good things about the whole game play experience.
too many great games, can´t finde the time to play them all 😛
The game doesn’t suit me but the minis are awesome. They are not football styled so they may find themselves in some skirmish band though!
don’t really know that much about this but does seem to have a following around my area be interesting to see which comes out on top this ,dreadball or perhaps even revamped bloodbowl
I’m liking the season 2 changes so far. Can’t wait to give the Hunters a try.
Would like to give guild ball a try someday as the minis look good.will be all over the dark souls kickstarter
wouldnt mind getting this played at my local club
been interested in guildball for a while now.
Just wondering if steam forged will be releasing some woodland scenery to complement the new Hunters mascot.
Colour me intrigued…
Nice. So many games, so little time to paint and play 🙁
The campaing system has caught my interrest, It would be great if you could do a review or talk on the weekender.
wanting to give guildball a try.
Looks like a fun game.
Man that is a huge stack of books! Probably the heaviest part of the hobby, is the books.
Can’t wait to get the new book and hunters guild
I cant wait to use season 2
This is one game we just have to get into full stop.
Just got into GB. Really looking forward to season 2.
Would love to win the season 2 stuff, but either way I plan to get the Hunters guild starter pack and the new rule book! Great looking stuff, thank you for the coverage!
This thread is by far the largest all day! It shows how popular this game is!! Cool stuff!
ive been very interested in picking this up. Its hard to find in the US right now
Looks fun, Really should try this game at some point
I’ve heard nothing but good things about Guild Ball. Would love to give it a try sometime.
Love playing guild ball, been waiting so long for the hunters guild to come along so I can have a second team.
The idea of yet another ‘ball’ game didn’t really grab me but having seen the mini’s, they’re really characterful.
loved how he started the new rules..”Now you can stab each other in the back…” 😀
Season 2, can’t wait.
OMG, a campaign system. Excellent news, it will help the game to grow in my gaming club.
this is a game we as a club have been looking at to get into.
New book, new team .
looking good.
Whooohoo I love guildball. The minis are just awesome. Seison two is even looking better then one which I found already impressive.
I have started a Butchers guild team, but really think I might make the Hunters guild my second team!!!
Haven’t really looked into guild ball yet but this is making me much more interested!
Have been looking at guildball and it seems interesting. I will have to convince my meta to try it out 🙂
The whole shebang you say? Sign me up!
nice
I’ve downloaded the free stuff online to try it out. This seems like a good side game to my AOS and FOW hobby
Just getting into this (my Morticians have arrived) and well impressed with what I’ve seen so far!
Guildball is my favourite game ever, weird to think it only came out last salute. Super excited for season 2 especially veteran spigot
LOVE to see Guildball getting bigger and better. Even more I love that it’s an interesting expansion. The campaign play sounds great and a couple of players per team is a very measured way to increase size.
Campaign System is always a win in sports games (hey I’ve lost many hours to football manager games over the years)
I dont really know a lot about this game, shame on me…
With new captains and mascots for the other teams, will the hunters actually become the hunted?
Bit sad this stand was so busy today I did not get to speak to anyone, would of loved to come home with a 2 player set but needed to ask some questions about the game. Next time…
Looking forward to Season Two
Allready Im a Butcher player….Want that pack…No…Need it!
Awesome stuff… Really nice minis and the game was very slick..
Love the look of the butchers guild!!
Guild ball great game. Fishermen all the way! So looking forward to tentacles as new mascot.
Just started playing Guild Ball with the Alchemists. I’m trying to decide between starting a Hunter’s or Mason’s team as a second… winning would make that decision easy.
In a way I’m happy I’m not at Salute, I don’t know if I could resist All the shiny stuff.
I liked the team mascots. Very characterful
Guild ball is love. Guild ball is life
Just got into this game, and I would love to pick up some Hunters!
We tried this game out today really enjoyed it.
I have not started a Guild Ball team yet but I’m getting more and more tempted every time I see it.
I’ve had an absolute blast playing this game over the last year (not dreadfully successfully it must be said but hey ho). It has a great community behind it, fantastic models and no two games are the same. Sad that I didn’t get down to salute and pick up all the season 2 goodness, cannot wait to paint the hunters.
Sounds pretty cool, this game is really blowing up, I might have to give it a go.
Go Alchemists!
Great stuff
Guildball has a fascinating backstory behind it, definitely a interesting idea, backed by a novel background.
Sounds like a great game
This is probably the biggest reason why I wanted to be there. I love the new hunters guild
Looks really cool
I love the art style of Guild Ball, looking forward to the Hunters.
cool
noice
Lots of people keep talking about guild ball, I’m going to have to look into it
Guild Ball has finally made it to my city’s hobby shop. I can’t wait to get into it.
Hunters look cool
Guildball was soooo busy all day. The guys at Steamforged must be really happy how well this game has taken off (he says as he strokes his new guildball team mat)
Not getting a Guildball demo game may have been my only miss at Salute, three deep waiting all day
Guild ball looks so much fun …saw a ton of ppl playing at adepticon 🙂
when I wasn’t looking – this game blew the f’ up in my area.. why didnt anyone let me in on the secret?
A big game, of big designer and well on an international reporter! And I am of the other one quoted by the sea in France! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?
Sounds good this guildball, really liked the artwork I’ve seen.
Hunter’s starter set looks awesome 😀
Getting ready to start guild ball in my local meta. Really excited about trying it out.
Cheers Gents. Can’t wait to play with the Hunters and other season 2 models!
Was very busy there today… Getting started with this with the paper cut outs.. Brewers or butchers it looks like for me..
I finally got Chisel for my Mason’s Guild at Salute
looks Fantastic…cant wait..
I love these guys. I’ve met them at CoxCon and in Essen last year and they are great to chat and hang out with. The game is wonderful too. I hope they’ll be in Essen again this year, Season 2 is a must-buy for me.
Great to see more players getting into this game – time to dust of my teams…
The more I see it, the more I want to play it.
Granted I say that about a lot of games… What can I say, I’m an addict
Looking great. I’m looking forward to trying this game out!
Just got this started hereabouts, and it’s taking off! Hype for season 2 is high
Really curious about this game after watching Ash from Guerrilla Miniatures Gaming play it a few times on his channel.
I really want to play this game!
Can’t wait for GB season 2 to be available in the US! A bear in a GB team? I foresee a lot of damage being dished out by Sheena the bear.
This game has made it out to japan. Am intersted in giving it a go. Fishermen are my first thought.
Nice, guild ball sounds exciting
My gaming group and I have just recently discovered this awesome game! It has totally replaced Blood Bowl for us. Can’t wait to get season two.
Sad that Spigot is my new Vet player (though the new version is sick) but love that you can balance the game so well!
I have heard nothing but good things about this game but the theme isn’t something I a too sold on… however I should likely give it a shot at some time.
This looks really cool, might have to look at getting into this!
This is a very nice game to play. I have my kids interested and we stared a league.
This is the only sports game that think it’s amazing!
Looks like such a cool game, going to have to check it out
Awesome! I would love to add some of these to my collection!
I need to try Guildball…
Wow great looking expansion and a generous prize.
looks promising; look forward to reading up on the new rulesets and team.
Looks awesome!
I am really tempted by Guild Ball.
Yet another company done well and supporting the community with free downloads, good job guys
A very tempting game to add to my wish list…
Every time I think I’ve resisted Guild Ball, I’m tempted once more.
Guild Ball looks really awesome
I’ve just started playing guild ball and am enjoying the ride. Looking forward to season 2.
loving it …..cant wait to try guildball
Lovin’ the look of these minis!
Really interested in the campaign system, that might get my group interesting in Guild Ball.
I hoovered up the Season 1 kit before it was usurped and can’t wait to take a look at season 2!
This game does look fun. They are playing it at my club. I may have to give it a go.
I might have to try this, it looks great
Great gamę, i`m waiting for dark souls
Looks good, I’ve um’ed and ar’ed about Guildball
Amazing to see the rate that this game is going. Wanted to get a demo in to see what all the fuss is about but that stall was always busy!
Looking forward to season 2 now
This and frostgrave seem to have been the breakthrough hits of the last year
Nice paint jobs on the season two models at the show.
A shame I had to cancel my KS
They look awasome
Maybe this will get me into Guild Ball!
Can’t wait to get some more games of this played
One of my most fave games. Love the fact that there is no rewriting of rules from season 1, just expanded rules, leading to a more immersive experience.
keep seeing good things about this game. Look forward to see it growing
So much good stuff around at the moment but Guild Ball seems to consistently rise to the top. And rightly so, cos it’s great fun!
Looks interesting. Speed would definitely be my play style.
This was our first stop of the day. And £250 later we left with big smiles and lots of goodies… To add the salute deal to this treasure pile would be awesome. Love the game.
Guild ball, want too try
The Hunters look very cool! Interestedto pick this game up
I’ve not played Guild Ball yet, but the minis look really nice.
Fantastic game, from the spoilers all the season 2 players continue to trend of adding options rather than replacing season 1 players
Anyone interested in trying I will be running Demo next Saturday 24th at Games Emporium in Mansfield – so please pop a long. Store is starting to stock the range.
Mansfield, Nottinghamshire Uk for the US readers
heard good things about this. would like to try it out.
Looks interesting 🙂
I’m a fan of sports games, playing BloodBowl and Dreadball in all its variants. Guildball has some amazing minis and it is becoming increasingly difficult to not but into this as well.
Havn’t started the get yet. But like always im interested.
Very nice models. It is really the only “sport” game I’m interested in.
I want to bring guild ball to our club. Bring it on!!!!
Good to see them doing a season 2!
Yeah, Guildball is looking very sharp. Actually I don’t have a miniature sportsgame. This might be it. The Guild aspect is really appealing.
Cheers!
not played, but does look fun, how teams do they have for this now?
@wendren Hunters is the 9th team
Winning an add on while ver having played the game? Why not? 😉
This has gotten big in my store here in USA. Season 2 will be very cool, I hope!
Awesome
Hunter is my guild!
All my budddies here in Ohio came back from Adepticon saying that this was the new hotness. I haven’t had the chance to play it though.
Guild Ball goes from strength to strength. This is a very good thing.
One of my regrets was not getting a game of Guild all in while I was at Salute, tons of table and lots of interest in this game.
This was really busy, with loads of games being played, looks interesting.
This new faction looks geat.
Already looking forward to season 3. 🙂
At this rate im going to have at least 10 different games to build and play lol sure wish i could have seen this looks fab
Guildballs stand was big and busy.
I’m not surprised as it’s an awesome game
The queues were unbelievable all day for GB2!!!
Cool stuff, My FLGS is getting a bit sick of me asking when they’ll get this game in.
Did anyone who went notice if the older teams get anything in the new book?
@thursday All the old team got a new captain, a new mascot, a new player, and a veteran or developed character (Union got the captain and veteran as one character)
Really want to start playing Guildball.
@mindrobber, go download the rules and standees and play
This game is going from strength to strength. Great to see its continued success and expansion.
This is one game everyone is talking about, such great figure
time to download and printr stuff.
Read the book cover to cover already and it is absolutely fantastic. Hunters are amazing.
Hunters look really cool. The game looks very complicated, but I will keep watching articles on it and see what I can learn. I loved Blood Bowl, because a kid bought it in to play on “toy day” at school. He was my hero for a term and dreamt of playing again. I know they’re not the same beast, but the concept of sport in fantasy worlds is fun regardless of the rule set.
The cool thing is that the game isnt as complicated as it seems. The people I teach usually have a good grasp of the core mechanics before the first turn even ends.
I love guild ball!
Looks so fun!
hunters guild. I MUST HAVE THEM, give them to me
Guildball seemed to get mentioned by most I spoke to
Never cared much for Bloodbowl or any other sports type of table top game, but GuildBall + me = shiney-syndrome
Very cool stuff, I have been watching this game and seeing video and it looks like loads of fun! Winning season 2 would really force me to play and then maybe some videos from my Spectre Studios would have to follow…… We love new games 8)
Really excited for the new stuff.
Free to play rules are dangerously tempting….
Guildball is high on my wantlist.
Had my first.demo of the.game on Saturday. Was really good.fun. definitely one to get
Guild Ball is one of those games I’ve kept putting off starting however may look to take the plunge with the season 2 releases.
Hunters looks great and 3v3 looks interesting
Guild Ball is such a great game (Y)
Guild ball is definitely getting more popular at my local gaming club, and I can see why 🙂
looks like a fun game
looks a good game to get into
That bear, must have!
I have never really been into sports miniature games, but I have to say Guild ball is (Imo) the best looking one on the market right now. I absolutely love the look of all their characters!
Hunters or fishermen….ham fisted or fishy tactics?
My favourite bit is the bear!
!ooks an interesting game system
great game
best new game last year
Was looking forward to trying this game and how does it compare to Dreadball?
really need to try this game looks really good
I’ve always wanted to give Guild Ball a go, so winning this would be a great start.
Hunters look awesome
If you insist I’ll have to buy it.
Commented on this but didn’t work, so here goes again. The guild ball minis are awesome, and the Steam Forged Games youtube channel has some great videos on how they do their 3D sculpts. Well and truly worth a look.
Awesome news. I love the to paint the figures and to play guild ball. Hunters would be an awesome addition to the figures I already own.
Guildball looked mighty interesting at Adepticon.
played a demo game at salute and loved it
I’d love to see more of these guys and here they take the game.
Steam Forged Games are really pushing the boat out this year. Season two looks amazing.
Must jump in soon.
One day I will try Guild Ball!
Curious to see how gb goes, donot like the soccer side of the game.
Was looking to get into this at Salute but really disappointed to not see any 2 player starter set, or even a decent 1 player starter deal. So didn’t in the end!
So excited for Guild Ball Season 2. It’s a great game, and really picking up in my local area. Possibly one of the more popular games currently.
Never actually tried this, love Dreadball so its one thats “on the list”, as they say.
Yay, Guild Ball!
Guild Ball minis are lovely!
This game sounds fun!
Wow, cool!
So cool!
Have to teams for this. haven’t had the time to play though
This game looks like alot of fun.
As an original KS pledger I’m pleased I managed to persuade my FLGS to take this.on as my chance to play has just increased…
Need to check this out.
This game looks Great!
Awesome figs awesome game.
It looks excellent!
butchers look fancy
Prize still going? Season 2 of GB all the way! I’m sure someone locally will have their Hunters ready soon 🙂 Exciting!
missed out on season 1. might be a good time to leap in.
This looks like a really cool game.
Game is looking better and better
Looking forward to trying this game out
Awesome stuff. Can’t wait to get my hands on the new stuff for the Butchers.
Looks great realy need to get this
I like the idea of the 3v3 quickie games.
Looking forward to season 2 stuff hitting the stores. Really must get the season1 stuff painted.
Never played a game but the minis look amazing.
I’m looking forward to Guild Ball 2nd edition!
I’ve heard good things, but no one locally is playing this.
Guild Ball is cool!
Never tried Guild Ball, but their minis look awesome!
This looks like an excellent game!
This totally rox!
This seems to be a nice game!
