Yes, it has been a long time since I last had a post (back in June). I have been real busy taking care of a new puppy along with my usual Summer time blues.I have not done too much gaming, I believe I got in one game of Guild Ball (currently my favorite game) and that is about it. Modeling/Painting has also been slow, but hopefully with this post we can get the ball rolling again.
In case you are a newer reader, years and years ago a friend from Arizona wrote a blog post asking what type of gamer you are. Gamer, Collector, Modeler and in what order. I feel that in every game system I get involved in, I have always been a Collector/Modeler/Gamer in that order. I love collecting armies, getting them painted, and then when time allows, get a game in. That is what sort of hooked me into Guild Ball. To play a game of Guild Ball all you need is a starting lineup of 6 models and there are currently a total of 9 Guilds with 2 more coming out very soon. Then there is roughly about 10-14 models per Guild. Some of the Guilds I have are in my oldest son's possesion, but I count them as part of 'our' collection (at this point I do not see a need to have duplicate Guilds).
Besides the 2 new Guilds coming out (Farmer's next week and Blacksmith's later this year) we were only short 1 Guild for our collection and that was the Mortician's. Last week I can across a Mortician's Guild for sale on a Facebook Group for a reasonable price and they were painted (pretty decently too). It included 8 painted models and an unpainted 'Scapel' model. I made the purchase and the models arrived a few days later. After opening the box and looking over the model, you could tell this Guild was played with (that's alright) and needed some touching up. I also prefer all my Guilds to have the same basing style (call me OCD). So I spent the weekend cleaning up all the models and rebasing them.
This week I will be taking individual pictures of each of the models and posting them here.
Enjoy!
