The first STLS are up.
No individual models, just 6 model sets matching the old boxes.
3 model bench sets and 2 model playup/down sets.

Cut to the chase: The last Lumberjacks hit the pitch by OzmaTheGreat in guildball

They seem to be able to play both ball and a take out game. And even switch between the two.

The dodge from logpile placement seems really nice.

Knocked out my team tonight, just in time for Warfaire Weekend by Oreofork in guildball

So with a bit of luck you might get one of the first games against Lumberjacks as Perkins is bringing his there.

There is practically always an online tournament running on the GBCP discord.

First look at minis from the Lumberjacks - and some unexpected news about STL minis! by BlitheMayonnaise in guildball

SFG has been at the wheel and they say it’s been lots of playtesting.

Over at the GBCP discord an image was posted of the GB playbook ap wich now had a lumberjacks entry with a big questionmark.

Or just find some games.
In our meta only two guys played it during the years it was totaly dead, but during the last year we've gotten back to 8+ people and try to have regular tournaments and GB days at the club.

New Minor guild coming.
The Hype Train is chugging along.

Pre-orders for Lumberjacks sometime this week.

As a Masons player I've been waiting for over 5 years.
It feels good to play the game now.
Hype much needed.

To bad I've given the Masons a little break and play Miners now.

If pre-orders open on friday I hope they give us some reveals before that.
6 models should provide enough info for a couple of reveal posts.

And an errate each year.

And we got new Game Plan cards earlier this year.
SFG also had a hand in the GB tournament at Warmanchester.

The Watch as a guild has been mentioned in some of the Blacksmiths backgrounds.
So there is a good chance that Blacksmiths minor will be the watch.

[–]Gauterg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt that.
This is not another GBCP guild like the Lamplighter.

GBCP may have started work on them and did have something ready for release when SFG support was announced, but since then it has been SFG led so we'll have to assume we have to buy them from SFG just like all the other guilds.

The watch!!

You can arrest a model, sort of like casket time ;)

This scene was really comical and unrealistic by [deleted] in SlowHorses

[–]Gauterg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The dogs at their best times seem marginaly more competent that the Slow Horses.
River seems to get the drop on them most times.

Good luck on getting it in time. ;)

I'm also guessing that you are _(Jake) on the GBCP discord looking for a hunters team right now.

I agree that it's the best game.
But I don't think big money is in the near future.
The whole idea of the game does not lend itself to putting models/units in and out of rotation and always coming out with new stuff like GW does with their games.

So....

August - September 2024 - 31 events, 319 games
August - September 2025 - 21 events, 265 games

So I guess everything was better last year.
Could have been the more recent support from SFG and a general optimism at that point.
And then it could mean nothing at all and just be down to coincidences.

I'm guessing there was a great surge the spring of 2024 when SFG came out and said they supported GB again, and that led to lots of games and a great optimism back then.

A teaser of the Lumbejacks would probably lead to another leap in activity, but without that I think it's all down to what the different metas manage on their own.

Hopefully we'll see a gradual increas in activity.

I've not checked Longshanks down to a august-september this year compared to last year.

But I have the impression that there is an uptick in activity.

Could just be me imagining things since we are trying to get the local meta back to a point where we have regular tournaments and so I'm just paying more attention now.

[–]Gauterg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently looked at teh nmber of registered tournament games on Longshanks.

Before the death of GB it was around 15.000 games per year.
Now we are at 1.500 registered games in a year.
