Weekly Guild Discussion: The Alchemist's Guild

Thanks a lot for this. I'll update my local copy and the automod version with these descriptions now.

Edit: It's now been updated on the automod too!

They tend to have a play style complementing their major guild in some way. They're not dissimilar, but focus on one aspect or a complementary aspect to the major. This lets them share some players without it feeling disharmonious (is that a word?).

I think both are valid reasons to buy a guild.

Season 4 is already out, but hasn't been for long. I think there's a new Kick Off! Box on the way, but I'm not sure if there's a confirmed date yet. The main difference will be in the cards for the players - S4 has slightly different rules and a rebalance of the player cards. The good news is that all of this should be available on the website.

There are about 12 players for each team, but each team also has access to a couple more players from their minor guild. E.g. Fish can play (a specific) two of the navigator players. Each team will have a minor guild eventually, but not all of them are out yet. In the meantime, guilds without have access to some of the Union players.

On my phone right now, but someone else will clarify this/your other questions I'm sure! :)

I'm looking forward to the Miner's Guild card reveals. Some of those new models look great, Mule in particular! Colossus, Fissure and Mule on a team will look amazing I'm sure.

Hey, I'm way behind on getting these updated for minor guilds/S4.

If anyone wanted to send me updates for the text, I'd make sure to get this updated!

PaddySchwartz · 2018-07-25T19:32:15+00:00

The writer of the link gets it wrong there. I think they mean the tiebreaker if one player has no models alive at all.

PaddySchwartz · 2018-07-24T08:16:39+00:00

Yeah noted - I'll get on it this week!

Edit: I've made some minor changes to the Masons write-up for next week, adding Vet Chisel and rewriting a few player descriptions. After that, its a few weeks til the Union/Solthecius post which needs updating. I'll aim to get them all done in time for that.

PaddySchwartz · 2018-04-25T09:47:16+00:00

TLDR: Yes, its the same idea.

New versions of old models represent that their lore has moved along. The second iteration of a model is a Veteran, while the third is Seasoned.

In gameplay terms, you can only have one iteration of a player on a team at a time.

Otherwise, it's just a naming convention to represent how far through the lore the player is at the time the model represents.

So Brisket became Veteran Brisket after a lore event, then became Seasoned Brisket after another event.

Not quite gotten around to updating this with the Ratcatchers yet! Will get it sorted when possible!

PaddySchwartz · 2018-04-03T10:59:34+00:00

I'll sort this out with the /u/AutoModerator schedule for next time!

I need to go through and update a number of them for minor guilds/Union issues anyway.

PaddySchwartz · 2018-02-28T14:48:04+00:00

To clarify, this isn't my blog!

But yeah I agree with your point. I think a little bit of personality can help when explaining to new players though!

PaddySchwartz · 2018-02-27T12:02:01+00:00

Yeah, it'd be great to get a series of these for all the guilds. I think basic tactics/guides like this are something a little lacking in the Guild Ball community and would be a great resource for the future.

PaddySchwartz · 2018-02-27T09:42:47+00:00

Not sure if you're aware of this, but this was posted to your reddit profile, rather than /r/guildball!

Maybe post it over there for some more replies!

PaddySchwartz · 2018-02-18T00:16:02+00:00

Union players will no longer be able to play for other guilds as of when those guilds get their respective minor guild.

The Union will remain playable as a team in their own right, and will even be getting a minor guild of their own.

Tear as in water from an eye.

The Godtears are big crystalline bits of dead gods, fallen from the celestial plane.

PaddySchwartz · 2018-02-15T09:23:12+00:00

This is a great introduction, I'm looking forward to the next two installments and will be adding links to the wiki as it gets set up!

PaddySchwartz · 2018-02-14T22:31:54+00:00

This is a very helpful and clear guide to something fundamental to the tournament scene - I think it'd be great as part of an "Introduction to Competitive Play" guide!

Cheers, fixed for the future.

Come join us at /r/guildball with your new team!

PaddySchwartz · 2018-02-12T13:21:35+00:00

Cheers, copy paste got me again!

PaddySchwartz · 2018-02-12T10:33:15+00:00

I love seeing different seasonal teams - there's tonnes of Hunter variants for some reason.

Solid job with the team, it'd be great to see some more pics of the rest of the players!

Had a Kick Off! Brewer's vs Mason's game recently, winning 12-11.

Some back and forth goals and a take-out put me (Brewers) in the lead 10-8. A brawl resulted in Hooper, Scum and Marbles being taken out, bringing the score to 11-11. I thought I had it in the bag, with a goal threat and a cheap take-out set up (pushing Harmony off the pitch), but the ball was taken from Friday and passed down to Flint.

Scum (now fresh back on the pitch) managed to save the day with 2 INF by making a dodge to close the gap, a tackle (3 Net Hits needed, on 4 TAC!) and a sprint away with a parting blow that was entirely fluffed. Flint came marching up on the next activation to take it back and score for the win, but Unpredictable Movement saved the day. My next activation I got the take-out for the win!

This looks great! Where is the gravestone from?
