Popular Post Nef Posted June 23, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 It may not be Monday but we have a brand new preview for you! Today marks the first Friday Preview day. We will be previewing some models from our upcoming game The Other Side. Today we take a look at the deadly and alluring Stormsiren. We will be taking a look at her model, as well as a brief bio. Enjoy! The Sirens of Malifaux are a very intelligent species. Their voices are laced with magical power, allowing them to manipulate others to suit their needs. Over time, this has led to a great appreciation for guile and subtlety among the Sirens. While Sirens strive to master many different types of magic over their lifespans, the rarest of these magics is the mastery of weather and storms. Those capable of commanding this magic are known as Stormsirens. The Stormsiren that was sucked through a dimensional rift and dropped onto an unsuspecting London is a wise and powerful spellcaster. She worships Meridion, an ancient Tyrant that was trapped in the ley lines of Malifaux thousands of years earlier. Although all the Hordes could hear Meridion's call in the oceans of Malifaux, most mistook it for the whisper of the ocean's current. Now that the Stormsiren has become trapped on Earth, her dreams have been silent. She intends to do whatever she must to bring the soothing whispers of her goddess back. On the table, the Stormsiren is a force to be reckoned with. Her impressive Tactics value of 3 means that her Company will be ahead of the game in terms of resources. This opens up more options for Stratagems and card draw, which in turn gives her a strong advantage over her opponents. On top of this, her Company adds an additional Tide Pool terrain piece to the table at the start of the game, and she is capable of creating even more in Glory. This terrain advantage can be significant, especially in light of her ability to move enemy troops closer to herself or any Tide Pool. If she's in Glory, these Tide Pools are even treated as Hazardous Terrain, making the movement potentially fatal to enemy Fireteams. The Stormsiren may command from the back, but she is capable of mixing it up anywhere on the table. Just don't forget to add water. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retnab Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Very cool, I'm excited to see more of these! I do also appreciate that these Friday Previews are on The Other Side of the week 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky_squirrel Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Nice, I definitely appreciate The Other Side of the week preview (groan/rimshot) and the background fluff. It really gives me a sense of their place in things and something I can use to try and convince my partner that she wants to play the Gibbering Hordes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucidicide Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 She totally wants to. All that gibbering; it's contagious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyris Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Oooohhh, now that's a spiffy unit. I'm also now kind of excited to make some tide pool terrain pieces. should be a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inefficiency_Expert Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 This almost makes me regret my allegiance to the burning man. It was a hard decision to begin with. She looks amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like having a nice open door to stumble through, and you can have a two commander Cult and two commander Horde crew that overlap on that angry dragon-like beastie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You win, I swapped my single commander order for a dual commander It'll contain most of the stuff I was looking at getting for her to paint anyway, so win-win! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I am well aware of Horomatangi. As a New Zealander I have a special place in my heart for taniwha of all kinds. I'll actually be celebrating Christmas this year none to far from Lake Taupo, where the big guy's namesake is supposed to make his lair. I'm just not sure that my wallet can withstand going dual faction, even as logical as the pairing is, especially if I need a giant dragon as the 'bridge' unit, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not sure that my wallet can withstand going dual faction, even as logical as the pairing is, especially if I need a giant dragon as the 'bridge' unit, That's what I was debating, was whether or not I could justify the dual faction.. then I priced out the stuff that I would have been getting for my partner to paint, and it came out to slightly more than the different between single and dual commander. Hence the "you win" to @Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I'd quite like to go dual faction (just Burning man ATM) but I don't think my wallet could withstand it. So instead I'm just sticking with the one, but will probably expand later on down the track. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inefficiency_Expert Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Of course as we get closer to the release date, if there is a further chance to alter our backer levels I may find my resistance... floundering. I'm sorry... I'll see myself out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
