We are heading into the final weekend to get results in for The Union in Chains (besides games that will also be played at SteamCon UK). The last day to record any games is Monday November 13th.This past week, the Engineer’s Guild really turned things around. I guess the Guild really wants the new ‘Veteran Harry’.
Also during the week, ‘Obulus’ sent a letter to the Hunter’s Guild informing them that they will be taking ‘Veteran Hemlocke’ in return the Hunter’s are getting ‘Veteran Minx’
I am sorry to see the Mason’s Guild losing to the Brewer’s, but I am happy the Fisherman are winning over the Butcher’s. Let’s see if the Fisherman can hold them off.
I have to admit, I am starting to slack a little on the Hunter’s Guild models for my son. This past weekend I got a little side tracked with a model railroading project that I am working on in my basement (nothing to elaborate, just something for the top of my bar). Anyway’s last week I was able to finish the fourth model for the Hunter’s Guild that my son provide me. ‘Ulfr’, a Striker for the Guild.
It is the end of week 4 for The Union in Chains and some of the match ups are getting really really close. There is not much more time to get games recorded. Next week, Week 5 will be the final week (plus games played at SteamCon UK) will decide the fate of the Veteran players. I really hope the Mason’s can come back against the Brewer’s. The original sculpt for the Mason’s not too many players liked it (including myself), but I do like the new sculpt for Veteran Decimate, so now the Mason players are trying to dig themselves out of a hole.
A sneak peek image of the next Farmer’s Guild box set popped on Twitter late yetsterday afternoon and the estimated street date is early January 2018. I am really hopping that this box will be an early release at SteamCom USA at the beginning of December. Either case, I know what models will be early in the queue for me come 2018. Another ball-marker, goal and terrain piece is also included with this set.
It’s the start of a new month, so I thought I’d better get a post in. Last Friday October 20th, Steamforged Games released the newest set of 6 models and this time it was for the Brewer’s Guild. It seemed to be a farely quiet release for them (probably with getting ready for both SteamCon’s and the global event The Union in Chains), anyways I was able to get an order in with an online retailer. With a slight shipping delay (I was in no rush) I finally received my package this week. ‘Sing When You’re Winning’ for the Brewer’s Guild complements the original 6 from the Kick-Off Starter Set bringing the Guild count to 12 models. The box set consists of: Esters, PintPot, Veteran Spigot, Quaff, Mash and Stoker. With this Brewer’s box set (not counting limited edition models and kickstarter models) I now have every model for every Guild, not all painted, but we are getting there. Having every model painted will definitely be a goal for 2018.
Well my son will finally be thrilled that one of his Captains is now completed for his Hunter’s Guild, ‘Theron’ a Defensive Midfielder for the Guild.
We are now into week four for The Union in Chains and you have not read Part 5 of the story, you have to read it 
It was noticed this morning that Steamforged updated the sculpts on their blog for the new Veteran Decimate. After The Union in Chains event is over, Decimate will be playing for either the Brewer’s Guild or Mason’s Guild.
Continuing along with my son’s Hunter’s Guild, today we ‘Jaecar’ a Winger for the Guild and his pitfall-marker.
Well, I officially started on my son’s Hunter’s Guild for Guild Ball. The plan (like the previous Guilds I have been painting) is to have them completed by the time he arrives for SteamCon USA. Luckily he did send me the entire Guild, only 6 models, so I should have them completed in time. Plus the color palette for the Hunter’s, Greens/Browns fit my painting style, so they should also look decent on the table top. I also asked my son if he wanted the highlights to be ‘subtle’ or to really ‘pop’. He elected on them to be more ‘subtle’ and blend more with the base color, so that is what I tried to do.
