As a conversation starter. Name your team and their Veteran player. Do you prefer the original or the veteran and why?

Also thanks to anon who made the generalisimo picture.
>>
>>51597959
To answer my own question. I play Fish and Siren is the veteran player. For the longest time I preferred the original due to her ball stripping/retrieval ability and the funnies I get from Siccing Seenah against Theron. But, I recently did the numbers to figure out who could, with one pass and a full move, serve as a T1 goal threat and I've face/heel turned towards the Veteran.

The fact that Dreadgaze saves lives when someone can't charge to attack is a big bonus. Plus, I admit, I enjoy making condition teams mad when Siren nopes out of death.
>>
Ugh,I'll play your stupid game

>Hunters
>Hearne
>inb4 we know what the fuck Vet Hearne can do

My guess is not suck as much cock as his current version.

Also, what can I do to stop Fishermen from trivially scoring against me.
>>
>>51598217
You'll most likely have to accept that you'll be giving up one goal. If Fish receive, Angel can do it from the half field if she super shots in his bubble aura.

Use snares and take your time. Let them come to you and set up a mine field of traps. Only Angel and Shark can glide over rough ground without momentum so don't give them that momentum.

Finally, as soon as they get that initial goal, bury the ball in the furthest corner possible, just watch out if oSiren is on the table, as she'll lure you down and ask you to kindly pick up the ball.

Corsair is the toughest one to deal with between the two captains. I've heard people say that Seenah hanging back as a goal tender or to utterly demolish any snapshot turrets (as in not Angel since she's too far up) is handy.

The big thing is that the Fish fall apart if the game takes too long so stack up conditions. Any groups, throw Egret or Hemlocke at them. Charge in Base against Greyscales with Seenah or Hearne.
>>
>>51598323
>in Corsair's bubble aura.

And finally, nothing says funny then Chaska shotgunning a dude into Jaecar's bleed traps. 4 damage, snare, bleed is nasty.
>>
>>51598323
Yeah...but my opponent plays the fuck out of Jac and Kraken, and they can really fuck up my game. Almost universal 2" reach is a massive pain in my ass, as the only model I have that is worth taking with 2" reach is Seenah. I am fine with conceding the goal, and I will try to kill the ball in the corner.
>>
>>51598409
Not much you can do about the Jac sumo shove. Kraken though is 3/0 and if snared becomes 2/0 and is a momentum battery. And never ever put Seenah too far up without support. Because that's a way to become a momentum farm.

Best I can say is stick to conditions and range. Maybe even give hemlocke a try and play with character plays. If you can avoid the Kraken/Corsair pull (13 inches away is the sweet spot), there won't be enough momentum to save everyone.

Oh and Bully oSiren if she's on the table. I usually end up with her dying twice because my brother shoots her upon sight! I figure the thing is to figure out which three models to hunt and sic em in teams.

Are you aware of the free Charge sprint?

>Have Fahad or Seenah declare a charge to anyone in LoS...doesn't matter where. Send them their sprint somewhere you want them to be for the next turn. Ends their activation but who gives a shit, you didn't give them influence anyway.
>>
>>51598409
Same anon as >>51598507
But, if you kill the ball in the corner, keep an eye out for Salt or vSiren as they are the most likely candidates for retrieval. I know that if I see the ball in the corner and don't think I can get a Salt score, I'll have him grab it, then kick it off the pitch to get it reset center for the rest of my squad.

Granted, that means risking an angry Bear Hug...but I wouldn't bother, since that removes Seenah from the middle where you want it.
>>
>>51598507
>>51598596
Thanks. Should mention that he prefers to play Shark. While I know that scoring like a raging asshole is his thing, I would prefer it to be his thing once a game as I beat the shit out of him and try in despair to shoot a goal with a team who has the accuracy of me trying to piss in a toilet during a 8.2 earthquake.

The roster I have been playing is:
Theron, Fahad, Seenah, Jaecar, Chaska, Minx which I have been really been digging.
>>
>>51599596
That's the roster my brother plays and that's a handy one. Who does he play?
>>
>>51599700
Shark, Kraken, Jac, Angel, Sakana, Salt
>>
>>51599729
Shark will shut you down for a turn if you don't spread out. He'll get a score, but the turn after, snare, bag, and tag if you can. I can't recall if Hunters get many knockdowns. Kraken is a momentum farm but, you have to gang up on him as he'll just KD you otherwise.

Try and set up traps in Jac and Salt's way so they have to go around and if possible, keep Salt stunlocked with Knockdowns. Jac can come save him but that brings him in your sights.

Angel, as much as I love her, can be held down with one babysitter. Push her outside of snapshot turret range or kill her if you can.

And always always aim your gun at the guy with the influence.

I'd offer to play some Vassal games to help out, been only playing against Butcher/Alch anon (whom I have a 0-6 record against. If you're in the thread I'm coming for you!) and my brother a fellow hunter who fears Corsair pulls.
>>
>>51599819
Not much in the KD dept. Seenah KD on 2, Hearne KD on 3 (but you really cannot bring Seenah and Hearne in the same lineup, Chaska KD on 4, and Theron KD on 5. So, three models with KD in my current line up, with only Seenah being the model I can depend on landing it. I usually use Theron and Chaska as ranged threats, but maybe I will try punching with them for once. My issue with punching Jac and Kraken is tough hide, which really messes up my attacks as I don't want to bunch up on one guy.
>>
who was that guy leaking stuff last week? Are they still around?? I wanna know what the new Hunters do...
>>
>>51600290
He didn't leak much from what I remember. He said the new Captain is mediocre as fuck and that the two new models are pretty good. He gave no details about who the models are or what they were (Since his post the sculpts and names of the new models were released), so we cannot assume that his claims are legit. It is fun to speculate, and if he did have insider info I would love to hear more.
>>
>>51600341
He did get the model count and spread right though, said two players, one cap, one mascot before we knew that.

He also said something about Hag having a legendary play and something about Vet Ox I didn't really understand.

COME BACK LEAKBRO

>>51600486
I just have to wait a few more weeks for Hag details...

>>
>>51600707
Why no Kraken? 2" reach with a momentus KD on one is pretty sexy.
>>
>>51600723
>>51600738
I don't have A&G and I do have the entire fish collection. Who do I replace and when would I use one siren vs another? As for Kraken, I'm leaning towards putting him back in. It sucks to have models I love and only pick 9.
>>
>>51600788
Don't have to justify why you're not running Kraken, just wanted to know the thought process and game plan.
>>
>>51600849
Ah gotcha.

Mainly it's that unlike Gutter, he doesn't have momentous damage. I love the KD on 1. But between Corsair and Jac I have plenty of KD and Gutter's pull is on three and momentous.

The idea is that I can choose damage results with Gutter and get Momentum for later things or snap shots.
>>
>>51597993
I dont get it. They are same kick and same speed. what difference dose it make?
>>
>>51602366
It's the two inch dodge at the top of her activation. Wit hit she gets the edge she needs to make a turn one goal. Not to mention getting her away from reach 1 guys.
>>
Only team I have right now is the Brewer's Guild. I'm thinking about picking up the Union since I already have Harry the Hat. Probably going to pick up the starter set, Coin and then either Minx or Mist

Between Spigot and VSpigot I prefer the original. I know VSpigot is pretty damn good, but I prefer a more beatdown oriented Brewer's Guild. If I want a striker I'll usually just take Mash or Friday
>>
>>51602556
Is that usually how it goes? Team whatever + Union?

I'm planning on picking up the S3 rulebook for the lore (and see if the forums are right about Union Captain being Brisket the 3rd), and was interested in her. I'll admit most the aesthetic for the union I don't care for though.

Might pick up farmers instead.
>>
>>51603118
I think the Union looks cool. I like their gangster/assassin/criminal theme and I dig the purple. Lots of team member options and the best part is that having lots of Union guys means building other Guild teams can be done a bit faster by filling them in as you go.

I'm thinking of doing Fisherman's Guild or Engineer's otherwise. The Farmer's Guild looks awesome visually, but I'm waiting to see the quality of those plastic minis before I decide to buy. I'm hoping they're better than the Kick-Off ones
>>
I should really stop buying models until I finish painting the ones I've got. I've been picking up a new player each week and already preorderd Hag and Brainpan & Memory. Was going to wait on VetOx for awhile. I tend to prefer the originals to the Veteran players for the most part

Nice. I love what you did for the muzzle. Good work.

I just got back from a tournament at captain con a few days ago, and after playing Mason's since the start of season three I'm feeling a little burnt out on them. What team should I play for the near future? I've got alchs, engineers, butchers, and brewers. I may even be crazy enough to pick up hunters. Mostly I'm just looking for a fun relaxing team.
>>
>>51610513
Personally I like AOE skills, messing around with altered status and well being weird in general so I would pick Alchs but that's up to me.

>>51610649
>leaker here and the guild11 is not thr solthecians
Bullshit. The cover has been posted for the rulebook -- Solthecians are confirmed.

Look at the top right, behind the church. That's the Solthecian symbol. Center left is the Farmer's symbol. There are no other symbols on the cover. For the Solthecians to not be the new guild then you'll have to convince us that they just randomly decided to give a group that isn't a new guild top billing while completely snubbing a group that is a new guild, and I don't believe that for a moment.
>>
Solthecians?
what are their background? also what would they do on the field?
>>
>>51610750
Solthecians are a few new Union models includong new cap who you can see on the cover. guild 11 is an entirely new guild with big new mechanic. sorry but its true, wait and see. i think they showed her and the sword guy cause they are more important to the story.

screencaps this if you dont believe me and we will see when book is released or more info is shown. for obvious reasons i cant give you physical pictures.
>>
>>51610796
here is another leak that will be proved legit earlier :


hags legendary moves enemies and allies nearby but hurts herself
>>
>>51610796
I'd believe that about them being part of the Union under (presumably) Captain Brisket. It didn't make sense for a church to also be a guild for some reason. I'm more curious why they didn't bother to give the Solthecian keyword to anyone that is a confirmed church goer like V.Spigot though
>>
>>51611065
I wouldn't be surprised if that gets errata'd in for future fun formats like Homeland Cup. Off the top of my head Solthecians should include (other than any new models) VetOx, VSpigot, and Bonesaw. Maybe Mist, though it seems more like his Shadowlike thing is a past conflict than him working for them. He's too spooky and there's some weird connection between him and Siren from whatever weird island they are from.

It's really weird when you think about all these bizarre assassins and mysterious magicians just getting together on Sunday to play soccer

>>
>>51611545
Can you spoil anything at all about Brainpan? Is he basically going to be a Mortician's Guild version of Avarisse & Greede?
>>
Anyone else feel like the balance in S3 is worse than S2?

I feel changes they made to A+G, Midas, etc made the problems with these models even worse.
>>
>>51611741
Nope, there are boogiemen but S3 is definitely more balanced. Right now there's only one Cap I'd call egregious, Shark. In S2 Obulus, Fillet, and Blackheart were way better than other captains and A&G were literally mandatory in competitive. Like you actually autolost if you didn't have them and your opponent did on top tables.

Harry is too strong as a Union option but that's about it. If you're having trouble with A&G just push one so they are no longer B2B. Them starting their activation not B2B cuts their goal threat by something like 50%, makes Greede super killable, and makes them worse at ganging up too. They are very good offensively but also a big liability.

There will never be perfect balance and S3 could certainly be better but I would take S3 over S2 any day of the week and so would all other competitive players I talk to regularly, regardless of region.

similar, not exactly the same. situational strong in fights, has expensive long goal threat.think will be hardest to use models in the game. weirdest movement mechanic in game

Everybody fucking told me that Gutter was shit now but this video has a Union team basically doing all their work with Gutter. I don't get why people think she is bad, at least in Union she seems great.

I hope this guy does more videos

>>51611934
Don't suppose you have any spoilers for locus or crucible?

>>51610538
I started out with alchs in season 3. Maybe I'll try them again. They're lack of momentum generation kind of bugged me though. vKata was a lot of fun.
>>
Guys, I'm playing Masons. I have every model for Masons but no Union players. Which one is worth it?
>>
>>51612906
Minx is my favorite. She's a great battery that does a lot of work for little to no INF. She can improve your offensive output and possibly increase your threat range with mark target.

A&G are always good but I don't like their risk/reward factor though.
>>
>>51612326
cool vid
>>
Damn what does it take to make this general LIIIIIIVE

What do people think is the strongest Season 3 faction?? At least currently, I guess new releases could always change stuff.

I thought it was gonna be Engineers when the new rules dropped but we have no local main-Engi players so I have no idea if they are good. One I played at a tournament beat me but not very hard and I think I could have won if I didn't fuck up something super basic.
>>
>>51615337
They can be strong vs certain factions. As a Mason's player the first turn is always difficult. I can weather the ranged plays pretty well but it means I can't really get a turn one charge with hammer unless I'm receiving. After that though I can generally win the fist fight. So it depends on how well the engineer can score with velocity. I haven't tried it with different teams but I imagine Colossus might give fish a bit of a hard time.
>>
>>51615439
Colossus seems really good. I had trouble versus their first turn also, as Brewers. But my main fuck-up was letting them touch the ball ever.
>>
>>51615891

Colossus strikes me as one of those players who is just clearly better than the alternatives, and I say that as an Engineer player.
He manages to be super fast, super tough, punchy, and also a good goal threat.
He's just good at everything and I don't understand why I'd want to leave him home in any matchup.

>>51615337
Alchemists seem extremely unreasonable to me, I have yet to beat them. Between Midas, Vitriol and vKatalyst, they just seem guaranteed 12VP.
>>
>>51612326
So rule question. When do you declare and spend for counter attack? Before or after the attack?
>>
>>51616411

After the enemy declares their attack, but before rolling.
So if they know that you're going to swing back, they're more inclined to go for a KD or Push to deny you, before unloading with the rest.
>>
>>51610649

skatha 3/5
snow 5/5
vhearne havent seen card
ulfr 4/5

skatha is maybe better than theron and has different playstyle but not amazing. ulfr is ok at everything and will be in a lot of listsm to help with goal scoring. snow is a big help for getting ball and going faster for whole team and making team safer with a special dodge aura, should be a big improvement for mascot cause most good players don't let you charge a lot with fahad

skatha legendary is sucky but rest of her stuff is pretty good.

hunters will get a lot faster with this pack and dunno if the worse old players (egret) will ever get played again. ur still gonna lose to fish though lol

Any day being honest. do you wanna talk about this somewhere else? I mean discord, by mail, in another neutral place?
>>
I'm thinking about getting in to guild ball since the models look really cool and I've got a question about choosing a faction.
How different gameplaywise are each guild? I've heard fishermen are all about scoring and can't do combat for example, are they all super specialized like this or is there a jack of all trades type faction.
Is there a faction that could be referred to as a glass cannon?
>>
>>51619229
Glass cannon would be the Fishermen, good jack of all trades is the Masons
>>
>>51619245
>>51619229

I can second that. The Masons are the jack of all trades. They're really solid and are about being able to respond to anything. Plus, they have the most handsome man in Guild Ball, Flint!

What's funny is that those are the first three that drew me. I ended up going Fish, but I'm waffling between Butchers or Farmers being my second.

Goddamn the new Minx is disgusting. Like every turn, I gave her no influence, and she would charge, snare someone, do some damage, get some momentum, and maybe even drop Screaming Banshee or even wrap.

People were not exaggerating when they suggested she might be the strongest model in the game.
>>
Just played a vassal game that took 4 hours!

The player was a hunter player learning what Corsair was about. I got to see a better Hunter team and learned some of the rules for the game that I missed. At first it was 6 to 1 with only a mascot kill for me.

But then Angel stole the ball from Jaecar and dodged a smack, to pass to Jac who scored a ball. Then Corsair and Gutter beat the tar out of Seenah, Minx, and Fahad. Then Jac sumo shoved Zarola out for the win.

After playing that, I'm gonna tell ya, I get why Sakana is so good, but I didn't use him well. Gutter is amazing with Corsair. Jac...is really starting to make me sad unless I keep him on the wings.

Also, earlier anon was right and I missed having A siren.

Motherfuck. Guess I'm going back this weekend. Going to grab Marbles too. Just going to go all out and start building a Mason's team I guess.

Anybody want to throw out suggestions on who to focus on?

bump. don't leave, leaker

In terms of captains or players?

>>51629705
either. Just from looking at the I think I would enjoy Honour better as a captain. I'm not really sure what to think of Hammer. Marbles and Wrecker both seem like good mascots. Marbles is probably better out of principle if you're bringing Brick

I've been playing Mason's since the beginning of season two. I used to like honour when I was starting out but I've switched almost exclusively to hammer. I actually just got back from a tournament where I played all four rounds as hammer.

Hammer is interesting because he plays a lot like the Mason's version of fillet. He can go flying in and delete a model a turn. The biggest advantage he brings over honour is the amount of setup he needs to go off. Both captains can get +2 damage but for honour you need two activations before she can get her bonuses (assuming marbles isn't engaged). Hammer only needs one. Beyond that hammer is also has a momentous knockdown and 1 damage on three which is huge. The ability to shut down counter attacks, improve out put and still do damage is amazing.
In addition he has a slew of great traits. Stoic, tough hide, and knock back are great. Tough hide makes him a chore to remove for most teams. Out of the past 50+ games I've had him die once. Knock back can be amazing at breaking up a scrum. Is hammer crowded by a bunch of models? Just whack someone and get out of dodge.
People complain about his character plays being INF inefficient, but it's exactly the same as someone using tooled up or quick foot on him (which cost two), while not spending any of his own pool and not taking an activation.
Bit of a long rant but hammer is probably my favorite captain in the game so I'm a bit biased.

So when do the Farmers actually release? I've been looking into starting the game and going with the Farmers, but the only release date I've seen mentioned is April. Also, I don't know the profiles of all their players, so I'm not sure if I should wait for them or go with an existing guild.
>>
What's the quality like in the plastic kits? It looks like that cheap PVC type of material
>>
>>51630417
the quality of the Kick Off is acceptable for a boardgame, maybe even a bit better, but it is a serious downgrade in detail from their metal/resin imo.

That said I've heard both publicly and personally from Steamforged people that they have since upgrades the plastic even further for the new models (starting with Farmers and Guild11). Hopefully that's true. It is currently not awful but I would very much prefer metal if the Kick Off was an example of their final product.

I don't like this move in general but I'm trying to have faith.
>>
>>51630377
Wait around here for the leaker and I bet you'll get some details.

April is the correct release date though, that hasn't changed.
>>
>>51630377
farmers will be a stronfguild and will probably noob stomp for a little bit. way better on release than hunters. at least one of two captains very viable and team is good overall.they look better at killing than goal scoring to me but.lots of unique affects like regeneration and support aursa

Ive heard something about skatha being able to drop a patch of ice for fast ground. Supposedly she has a different ball passing game then anyone else.

Alchemist players: What players do you like to play, and with which captains? A friend has commissioned me to paint his alchemists, and I'm curious what order I should paint them in, as well as what to expect when playing against them.
>>
So not sure I can get it done before the tournament, but I had an idea for a Fish goalpost.

Debating between a wood color painted Bayou Gremlin (the fishing one) standing atop crates with a target painted on the crate. Or Misaki if I can figure out a way to have her holding a fishing pole, with a target hanging from her foot.

Basically, I want to build something that doesn't look like random minis thrown on top. Any ideas?
>>
>>51637126
I like the idea of just getting a model fish of some sort and stringing it up on a post, it's simple and reasonably thematic
>>
>>51637208
I considered that. But had an awful time trying to find a model fish on amazon. But I'll keep looking that looks great.

Well vitriol plays well in any situation. vKata is really good with either captain. Some might argue oKata is better with midas but I think either is good. Harry is great with both captains. After that it's a matter of taste. I prefer Naja to flask, but that's mostly because I play midas and prefer the 2" reach and unpredictable. Compound is a good sideboard option. Vennin is alright but not terribly great. Calc has some cool plays. And mercury is alright.

So probably that for an order with the captains first.

Gonna pick up my butchers starter box tomorrow, I like the look of Tenderizer and Boar so I'm probably gonna get them too.
Which mascot am I better off getting?
>>
>>51637774
Ox or Fillet?
>>
>>51638159
Leaning more towards Ox
>>
>>51638208
The Pupper. Butchery + Broiler + Doggo = ass fucking models. However, if you want a Mascot that can knock down a model with 1 INF almost every time, and is good at getting itself out of danger, Truffles is pretty great.

>>51637774
Dogs more useful especially if you use Boiler.

trying to think up a color scheme for the Hunter's Guild. We bought the starter as a gift for a friend who was looking into playing and also hunts as a hobby as well. I was going to paint them up for him because he's more about just playing. He usually ends up paying me to paint them for him anyway. I could go with the usual paintscheme but I'm trying to think of a way to change it up a little bit. Any thoughts
>>
>>51640526
There's always the ever popular winter theme of pale blue and white. Some of the best hunters I've seen in person were orange/red/yellow like dead autumn leaves.

Anyone able to suggest me a paint scheme for Farmers?
>>
Don't you die thread.
>>
>>51646489
set a game of GB then. I bet most than just one would be glad to play on Vassal of their engine of choice.
>>
>>51642972
Seconding the autumn scheme for hunters.

For fish, blues are always the default, but honestly anything works. Yellows, reds, even purple's could be good.

You should go full Bolshevik Red Guard People's Revolution style. They've got the imagery down pat already, all you need is the right color scheme.
>>
>>51648002
Woops. I actually misread it as fish. Sorry about that. :P

For farmers, autumn colors would be pretty good. Could also do a spring theme with greens, and some light purple's, and touch of yellow here and there.
