Guild Ball is the game of medieval fantasy football from Steamforged Games. The Century War has wracked the land, and all that forges the fractious nations of the new Empire together is the blood-sport of Guild Ball, brought together by the scheming Guilds. Will you play the slippery Fishermen, the arcane Alchemists, or the suspicious Union? Read some articles, listen to some podcasts, watch some videos, and maybe you’ll find out which is best for you!

read moreToruk to Tyrant – 2012 Year in Review
Toruk to Tyrant – Year in Review Overview 2012 was a fun year for me playing Skorne. I managed to play an amazing amount of games during the year and managed to not fail too badly. At the tale end of the year I did get a bit burned out by them, but that was my fault for not taking a bit of a mid year break like I have been doing over the past couple years. I really look forward to the future and more time with Skorne. I believe the next Hordes book is going to have some different option for skorne players. As long as I feel I can bring a variety of models I will always enjoy the faction. Random stats I played 87 tournament games and 87 friendly games. (odd that it came out so even) I won 69% of my tournament games. Won Highest % of games with Rasheth in Tournaments. 83% win ratio (losses only came at tale end of the year when I tried some out of theme force lists) Played Zaal most in tournaments – 37 tournament games and won 73% of my games. Most games played was with Zaal – 65 games, Rasheth came in 2nd with 27 games. Achievements of 2012 I did manage to win a hardcore event at Diecon in 2012 with Zaal. I was very excited about that. I also won 3 local events using a variety of Skorne warlocks . I did not attend/play in nearly as many “big con” events as 2011, but I still managed to have a ton of fun and play a lot of games. I did a decent job in the first half of the year playing a variety of warlocks, and in the second half the year I played mostly Rasheth and Zaal. I did a good job of keeping my army full painted during the entire year as well.

read moreBaffo’s colossal ideas (part 3)
During the holidays I did not manage to do as much work on my models as I was hoping to, but I did draw a few new sketches of ideas to convert some of the gargantuans that we haven’t discussed yet. Blighted Mountain king (aka Giant incubus): Imagine Tagrosh finding a hibernating MK while traveling the underground cave network; what do you think he might do? Everblight, being as curious as he is, would probably try sticking an athnak shard in the beast to corrupt it with blight and mutate in some sort of giant incubus (visually it would fit well with the theme of the extreme Carnivean, Afflictor and Incubi). My brother and I got this idea, when we were thinking about MK conversions (like the giant Mechani-Troll) and the first draft of the concept was the following: Looking at the sketch for a bit, it crossed my mind that this could work well as a Throne of Everblight alternative (especially if you are fielding two of them). One would just need to put the platform with the sorceress on top of the MK back. Granted this would make for a fairly expensive Throne, since you’re converting it from a Gargantuan, but if you keep the platform at the top removable (magnetize it), you could still field the models as an actual MK. In turn this spurred the idea for an ‘army conversion’: evil blighted trollbloods. In the IK there are several dragons beside Toruk and Everblight and since a confrontation between them seems inevitable, I would expect more dragons gathering lesser followers to help in the conflict. In this case let say one of the other dragons, inspired by Everblight’s success with the Nyss, found some isolated Kriels, that did not follow Madrak’s exodus and decided to blight some mighty trolls instead of puny elves… The result would be an army of ‘evil bloodthirsty trolls’ with scales, spikes and other mutations. Parasitic Archangel (aka Tapeworm on steroids): Now, if we want this concept as an Archangel alternative it needs wings and probably to look a bit more nimble… Let say our giant Incubus kept only the upper torso and arms from its giant host, it shed the heavy rocks from the back and grew wings and a more serpentine lower body from the hosts’ spine: I imagine this one slowly growing inside its gargantuan host while sapping its energy to convert it into blight, making the giant troll increasingly hungry, aggressive and sickly, gradually shedding its stone skin, until the ‘serpentine parasite grows enough to burst out of the host body ‘Aline style’. As you can see in the sketch I would keep the torso and arms (let assume it took over the nervous system and some of the organs) and turn excess skin and bones into its wings… Granted, this conversion would require some pretty advanced conversion work and a fair bit of sculpting, but it could work well as a different take on the archangel (if you already have the original archangel and want a different second one). Giant Triceratops (aka Dino rider Mammoth): Several Skorne beasts look a lot like dinosaurs (see the Archidon and Rhinodon for examples) and when I saw the pictures of the Mammoth’s model, I noticed the...
