Guild Ball Lumberjacks Now on General Release

A group of eight intricately designed miniatures representing the Lumberjacks team from Steamforged Games is displayed. The figures are depicted in dynamic poses, showcasing a variety of weapons and tools, including an axe and a saw, with detailed clothing that features earthy tones and patterns. In the foreground, a small log pile is included, enhancing the thematic elements of the team, which emphasizes their connection to woodworking and the outdoors.

Steamforged Games new Guild Ball team, the Lumberjacks, are now available.

Described as ‘Honest professionals with no duplicity or ulterior motives’, the Lumberjacks are a Minor Guild ‘who’ve swapped sawdust for the spotlight of the pitch’.

This new team’s game plan revolves around Log Piles. Described as ‘Sturdy stacks of timber that turn the pitch into their workshop’, two of these stacks are placed on the pitch at the beginning of the game. As play progresses, the log piles can be hauled around the pitch by the Lumberjacks; this gives the ‘Jacks ‘cover, better movement, and stronger attacks’. However, only two of these Log Piles are allowed on the pitch, putting the onus on smart positioning.

This new release includes two log piles and eight lumberjack miniatures. Also, if you want to add a little more manpower to this new team, Steamforged have also released a further pack of miniatures which includes two more Lumberjacks, Flint and Mallet…

Two detailed miniatures from the new Lumberjacks team for Guild Ball are displayed. On the left, a character with a beard and a red scarf stands confidently next to a small stack of logs, holding a large axe. On the right, a muscular figure with blonde hair and a serious expression wields a similar axe, dressed in dark clothing with armor accents. Both figures are mounted on circular bases with green grass detailing.

…And before you ask, this team doesn’t wear women’s clothing, and it doesn’t hang around in bars.

See the Steamforged Games website for more details.
