First, if you’re here wondering “well what is a crossover model then?” that’s when you should have a look here. 😉
I still harbor a small hope that the promised POD update will include the crossover models for each guild in some way or another. After not hitting the inital deadline in May, the POD update was postponed more than once so far, but I really think it’s perfectly reasonable – both with the quality issues and delays, and especially now with the whole awesome Warmachine situation.
But having said that, I still walk around thinking about how-what-when we’ll see this estimated re-release of the POD range. While at first it was planned as separate releases to the webshop, I think at this point it’s also likely that a bigger re-release of the POD with bases detached and new crossover boxes and maybe more stuff will come all in one big update. No one knows yet obviously, but I think that’d make more sense.
Info popup: Selling the crossover models separately is to make it easier to buy into just one guild without it’s attached major/minor but still get all playable models for the guild you want to play.
I made this list in a post on discord on which of the Crossover models that have alternative sculpts, because I really hope that in addition to getting this great product, I also hope that all the crossovers will get established alternate sculpts for their minor/major guild identity. Many of the crossover models already have this, and I hope that SFG will make an effort to create the missing sculpts to complete the full cycle. I mean I can understand if they don’t have that kind of work budgeted for Guild Ball, but I do still hope for it.
These models would need new sculpts for the crossovers to all have true guild identity sculpts:
- Pelage
- Benediction
- Grace
- Minerva
- Shearer
- Lamb
- Fuse
- vHonour
- Bushel
- Heat
- Phosphor
- Roast
- Cinnamon
Below is an extended version of the same list. Sorted by guild, and including all crossover models there are, with a note on that model needs already has an alternative sculpt or not.
Even though I think we’re likely to only get playdowns for the minors in the crossover boxes, I do so hope for playups as well, so I listed the major guild crossovers at the bottom too.

Time will tell where we end up of course. Just getting the playdown crossovers in separate boxes will be great. And I’ll keep hoping to see the playups and all the alt sculpts as well.
Let me know if you see anything amiss, and feel free to send me a message about anything you find here on The Bench. 🙂
See you on the pitch, ballers!
