This bad boy is live and I for one am excited!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1248312770/guild-ball-a-tabletop-medieval-football-game

The artwork and WIP renders have really got me interested in dropping some change into this one.

The teams are all based on medieval professions.

I like the character designs here. Very nice!

Too bad I'm all tapped out at the moment.

Nonsense, you only think you're 'tapped out'. Sell the car. Or the wife. Or the house. In that order.

Pretty awesome start. Funded in less then 24 hours. They seem to be very open to listening to the community also. And very committed to on time release. That will be novel...:)

50k Stretch Goal broken meaning everyone who has ordered 1 team or more will receive 1 Union Model from those unlocked per team pledge. I.e. if you have pledged for 4 teams you will get 4 Union Models.

Here is a WIP image of Honour - the Masons Captain.

I was about to back Dreadball Xtreme, but as I've heard some shizz about Mantics quality issues I might drop some money on this instead. I really like the look of these, but I'm gonna have a closer look at the WIP rulebook before I pledge, and see if I'll even have 50 quid to burn this month.

I believe they are 60 second sword storm :)

Here is the art for the Union team. I like em.

I sure hope so. The Brewers and the Union look "separated" of sorts from the first four Guilds on the site, and since the pledge levels mention "Launch Teams" I considered if the Brewers and the Union were not "Launch Teams" but more like some kind of add-on teams. I hope not, because if I pledge for two Launch Teams I'd want the Fishermen and the Brewers/Union, and if those aren't included in that pledge level I'll be well bummed out. Then I've never backed a Kickstarter before, so I don't know the drill entirely.

The Union look totally ace, by the way!

Lovely stuff!

However, I just realized it's very unlikely I'll have any spare change while this Kickstarter goes on (gets funded THREE days before payday, really?). Not that it makes a difference to them, but I gotta admit I'm a little bummed :rolleyes: Would prefer to get in on it in this stage, but I'll just wait and see what happens in the future.

Looks cool and if nothing else they look like cool bases for Civies for WFRP/Dark Heresy.

Guild Ball funded at 93,691 GBP vs an original goal of 30,000 GBP - a very respectable result.

It's a little odd that they didn't define a 5-model Union Team that could have been selected as a "Launch Team", but I guess they needed Union to be a la carte to push pledges higher.
