I am honestly surprised to see no Guild Ball thread on here,

>>52440855

How can I convince a bunch of 40K and Blood Bowl players to renounce their evil ways and come to the light?

We have a thread every once in a while. Last one made it all the way to bump limit, too.

It's a great game, I concur.

>>52440855
Because Bloodbowl is superior?

Why would I want to switch to GB from BB? Convince me.

>>52442313
waot for actual original fluff and good miniature to come out

>>52444607
You don't, because every game that is advertised as another game, BUT BETTER will have an awful community, because it attracts awful dudes that want to pride themselves that they play the "better" game

>>52444692
Oh and it will also have no instrinsic value, because all positive attributes will only be derived from comparison with the "worse" game

>>52444692
That's the irrational attitude of someone who's afraid of change or is brand-loyal to a fault.

>>52444737
Oh, you're right, now I totally understand why Guildball is so great. It was me who was the problem

>>52444767
I don't play Guildball. Or BB. I just saw a stupid post and thought I'd reply.

>>52443848
BB is lolrandom fun with a decent amount of skill involved

GB is less lolrandom but the same amount of skill

Depends on which flavor you prefer, or are in the mood for.

Plastic sets for when?

>>52440855
>As a Pundit, ask me anything.
Alchemist and Fish nerfs when?

Is being a pundit that good?

>>52447261
oh look we're on the forums

hunters buff when though actually

>>52450567
Also when will Harry be shit like in s2?

>>52442313

By show casing the game, I suppose. GB is more of an actual strategic tabletop game than BB is. BB is your beer and cheese boardgame, where GB is your fine dinner style affair.

>>52444607

Guildball is growing, significantly. It has a very real competitive presence, if you want it, while also promoting a great casual atmosphere.

The company, Steamforged Games, is absolutely fantastic. They really support their players and scene, and do what's good by them. They're not out there to make a huge profit.

GB is pretty cheap. 6 character teams to play, and each guild has a lot of variety. This summer they're re-releasing the team boxes. $55 for a team of 6 metal models. All the original guilds will get these, and then plastics will follow.

The game is easy to learn and pick up, while also providing a really satisfying strategic depth. It's hella fun to play and you feel rewarded or punished by your mistakes in the best way. The guilds are all pretty balanced too, too; there's no team that's like... pure gold. It's really dependant on player skills

BB is for autistic retards.

>>52445461
Farmers in April, and all the new guilds will be plastic.
>>52448690
I think it's fun. SFG takes great care of us. In Nov all active pundits got a free copy of the kickoff box. The prize support is extremely nice, and we get daily responses from SFG staff like Jamie on the closed fb group. Occasionally we get emails that have spoilers a few weeks in advanced, but half the time we learn the same time as everyone else.

>>52450807
Not likely ever. He's is a great place and I don't see them pushing him back down again.

I'd play if the models weren't so painfully generic.

>>52447261
I don't have that info, nor do I think we will see 'em. Do they even need nerfs?>>52444733
Your statements aren't wrong. However I don't know anyone who does that with guildball. It's cheap enough and the games are small enough that most people, especially in my meta, play it along side other games, primarily warmachine. While I personally thing GB is a better game, I don't knock on people who like other things.

I personally love it because it's the first tabletop I've been able to really comprehend, and afford!, without having to play for three years to win my first match. I was able to internalize the rules and concepts in two games, and I've started winning a lot more as I understand things better. I'm currently one of the best players in my group, and it's the only game where I've been able to best people haha.

The story is also fucking amazing. I love it. I got to interview Sherwin, the author, quite a bit for an article. He was an awesome dude to talk to. The community around the game is the best I've experienced so far as well.

>>52454472

How do you mean? I find them to fit their particular style and setting. They also do well with their individual guild themes, I think. Maybe it's a little generic because it's medieval fantasy, but at least there aren't elves and shit. Not that I'd mind.

>>52444578
Because I didn't know it. I don't lurk TG often.

>>52443848
You can't really compare them because they're not similar at all, apart from having "ball" in the title. BB is it's own thing. Guildball is just warmahordes sports edition.

>>52454596
I can't wait to purchase "Tater" the generic farmer with a potato sack flung over his shoulder. Why is he even lugging potatoes around anyway? I thought he was playing sports. The model fails on multiple levels.

>>52454716
They're farmers. It's the it schtic. Within the setting, theyre pretty unique. Hell, when was the last time you saw a farmer of any significant kind in a tabletop brawler?

They're sticking to their theme, more or less. The guilds are their professions, so it's expected that someone from the farmers guild is going to be carrying around a sack of whatever to beat the shit out of someone with. Just like I expect my Masons to be carrying hammers. Just like the Hunters are wearing pelts and have a lot of daka and bullshit traps.

The guilds fit their setting and do well in it. I don't care to compare it to another setting because it's done very well so far to set itself apart.

>>52454813
>bringing a sack of potatoes to a brawl where edged weapons and actual guns are allowed
Literally retarded. He'd be better off twohanding his scythe.

>>52454889
Some folks don't use anything at all. Take Velocity for example. She literally just kicks shit. I mean, I don't really care. I'm not likely to play farmers. Maybe. I need to get my s.Brisket union team first

>>52440855
>ITT autists don't understand that not everything has to be 100% serious all the time
Don't worry about it guys; humor is for OTHER kinds of people. You don't have to understand why it's there - it's not for you.

Kek

>>52454559
Its per model cost is pretty ridiculous, Infinity is cheaper., that said tournament lists are 9 dudes and you only need 6 for a game.

Also holy shit, Vet Hearne is wearing Obulus's coat.

>>52454372
>55$ for a 6 man team
Holy fuck that's fantastic.

>>52454559
The story is actually a lot of what's keeping me invested. It's really, really well done and I can't wait for Season Three to drop so I can start reading more into it.

Might have to grab fishers

>>52457696
Holy fuck, he is. Wow. Also fuck a&g
>>52457708
It is. And it's only getting cheaper. Unless you're being sarcastic. But, it's more about how much you need to play. With GW or PP, you spend $60 for ONE unit, and you still can't play with them. Here your 6 man team gets you immediate tournament play and 70% of your guild. See attached image.
>>524577281
Saaaaame.

>>52457457
Infinity is also a.... shitty game. Let's be honest. The rules are so convoluted and complicated it's not even remotely worth the cost of the models. I had such high hopes for it; it was the right price and the right aesthetic. The game itself was even worse than trying to play 40k and turned me off after the first two games.

GB's per model currently is high, I agree. 12-20per figure , 30 for vet kat. However, as you said, given that you only need a minimum of 6 to play competitively, I say that offsets it wildly. Theres also the current guild boxes and the new ones. Additionally, the switch to that nice plastic is coming soon. Even further saving us money is SFG moving to all in one boxes. From there they do little expansion packs, saving customers money and stores space with fewer skews

>>52459074
No dude, I'm 100% legitimate. I've got a full Engineer, Union, Mortician, and Butcher team. I love this game, and have a 16 man community up here, and we're doing a qualifier this saturday.

>>52459074
shame the engin and butcher boxes arent very good. The fish ones pretty solid though only angel and salt don't see a ton of play. Krakens cuttable but generally hits most 9s.
