Guild Ball Neoprene Classic Pitch (Mouse Pad Material)

For my birthday I decided to invest some money into a Neoprene Guild Ball Pitch. I was debating between the Proving Grounds design and the Classic design and finally decided to go with the classic pitch.

Pros and Cons of the Guild Ball Proving Grounds Pitch

• Pro: Has a cool design, lots of detail
• Pro: Has a designated 2'x2' square area for smaller games and demoing
• Pro: One solid neoprene piece
• Pro: Models and terrain don't slip around like on the pitch provided in the Kick-Off starter set
• Con: It's really busy looking
• Con: If you're playing a full 3'x3' game the 2'x2' square is distracting

Pros and Cons of the Guild Ball Classic Pitch

• Pro: Full 3'x3' Mat
• Pro: One solid neoprene piece
• Pro: Models and terrain don't slip around like on the pitch provided in the Kick-Off starter set
• Con: It's really boring looking

I decided to go with the Classic Pitch because my plan is to play competitively with Guild Ball and don't need the extra distractions. While I like the look of the Proving Grounds, all of the top competitions are played on the Classic one. 

I'm really enjoying the feel of it compared to the double sided one provided in the Guild Ball Kick-Off starter set. The starter kit pitch comes in two pieces and is easily moved when bumped slightly. Also, the models tend to slide around because of the slick surface.

I highly recommend getting a pitch! If you decide to get one, support Dice Wrath and purchase using the links below!!!

Guild Ball - Painted Greyscales, Angel, Shark and Siren

Fishermen Crew - Greyscales, Angel, Shark, and Siren

My house flooded last Friday and we were forced to stay with the in-laws for a week. While we were there we got hit with an AOE 5 virus and all got sick so I had plenty of time to paint my new models since there was absolutely nothing else to do. 

I'm not a horribly good painter but I'm learning new tricks every day and I can see the difference between my old work and my new work. Part of my problem is I'm impatient. My buddy, Rob, who owns Table Ready Terrain is always trying to get me to follow boring steps when all I want to do is slap paint on pewter. 

Lately I've been slowing down and following steps instead of rushing to finish the job and I'm happy with the outcome.

Guild Ball has been a really fun game play experience that brings a lot of interesting decisions each turn to the table. I'm pretty close to finishing up my entire Fishermen Guild, I think only need Vet Siren and Tentacles.

Guild Ball - Fishermen - Painted Corsair

Fishermen Corsair List - Kraken, Sakana, Corsair, Hag, Jac, Salt

I love the Corsair model. He's just a fat Middle Eastern-y grumpy pirate dude with a peg leg and a bunch of spears. He's great at controlling the center of the Pitch and dragging unsuspecting enemy models into a pit of harpoon doom. He can also pop his Legendary and give his teammates an added boost to their kick!

He was also really fun to paint since his features are so defined. I plan on doing some battle reports in the future with Corsair and his Fishermen crew so stay tuned!

If you are digging the model and want to help out the Dice Wrath blag make sure follow the Amazon link below if you want to purchase it. It's cheaper than at Miniaturemarket.com or Discountgamesinc.com AND you get free two day shipping!

Guild Ball - Kick Off - Masons - Brewers - Fishermen

Warmachine is kind of in limbo right now for me while they transition into the new Steamroller 2017 rule set so here's my new obsession: GUILD BALL! I'm having a lot of fun with Guild Ball. It's basically fantasy soccer where you kick a ball into a goal but you can also beat each other up with swords and magic. What I really like about it is the theme. Here are some of the painted models I finished this weekend from the Guild Ball Kick Off starter set and a few other models I picked up on the side:

Brewers Plastic Set - Scum, Spigot, Tapper, Stave, Hooper, Friday

The Brewers have a lot of synergy and buffs with each other and deal a whole bunch of damage. They're great for wrecking face and occasionally scoring a few goals.

Masons Plastic Set - Marbles, Mallet, Honour, Brick, Harmony, Flint

The Mason's strategy relies on their strong defense and their abilities to counter charge. They're an all comers kind of guild and can have a flexible play style.

Fishermen - Greyscales, Hag, Jac, Shark, Kraken, Salt, Corsair, Siren, Angel, Sakana

The Fishermen are not about stabbing you with spears or bludgeoning you with their hammers, they want to score goals. They are super mobile and great at sneaking an unexpected shot.

I'm looking forward to playing a few more games and demoing it to some friends to get them into it. If you're interested in starting Guild Ball I suggested you pick up the brand new Guild Ball Kick Off Starter Set which includes 2 full ready to play armies and all the fun bits you need to kick some balls.
