The sound of roaring saws and thunderous cheers echoes across the pitch — the Lumberjacks have arrived in Guild Ball. A new era begins as Steamforged Games proudly introduces the Lumberjacks, the latest Minor Guild to make their mark on the field. These rugged newcomers bring the raw power and strategy of the timberlands straight into the competitive world of Guild Ball. But here’s where it gets exciting — their arrival isn’t just another team launch; it’s a fresh twist on gameplay.
Emerging from the heart of dense forests, the Lumberjacks march into the spotlight with their axes in hand and a brand-new mechanic — the innovative log pile system. This feature encourages creative playstyles, allowing coaches to build momentum and manage the field in surprisingly tactical ways. It’s not just about brute strength; it’s about precision, timing, and knowing when to strike. And this is the part most people miss — the Lumberjacks aren’t only a team of powerhouses, they represent a shift in how players think about strategy within the game.
With today’s official release, fans can finally command the full Lumberjacks roster and bring them directly into play. To celebrate, Steamforged is also sharing a special narrative piece featuring Mallet from the Masons Guild, offering a reflective look at the game’s evolution and how this new Guild challenges old traditions. The story adds a layer of lore to the Lumberjacks’ debut, showing how their presence reshapes the world of Guild Ball both on and off the pitch.
In even more exciting news, Steamforged confirmed that every official Guild Ball team — including the brand-new Lumberjacks — will soon be available on MyMiniFactory as paid digital STL files. This means every coach can 3D-print their favorite Guilds at home and bring their customized teams to life. It’s a huge step toward accessibility and creativity for the community.
Now the big question: Will the Lumberjacks’ rugged playstyle shake up the meta or divide the fanbase?
