Jesy Blue Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Happy Monday Wyrdos! Last week we finished looking at the Undying. Now it's time to start looking into another upcoming story encounter box, Backdraft! We are starting by looking at some of the Gremlin models. To start with we have the Whiskey Gamin! Let's learn a little about these adorable, delicious little barrels. Unlike elemental Gamin, which are summoned by powerful magic spells and rituals, Whiskey Gamin are created by enterprising Gremlin artificers to carry their moonshine from one place to another. After the first few Whiskey Gamin disappeared into the swamp, the Gremlins started replacing their feet with wheels in order to make it more difficult for the little machines to run off with all their alcohol. When this made the Whiskey Gamin too cumbersome to escape predators (most notably, other Gremlins that wanted the moonshine they carried), the engineers replaced their arms with pump nozzles, allowing the Gamin to spray their attackers with the high proof (and very flammable) moonshine they carried. This is Gremlin engineering at its finest, folks. On the table, Whiskey Gamin are fast models that spread around (Alcohol) Poison(ing) and light inebriated models on fire. Like true Gamin, they explode when they are killed, showering everyone around them with moonshine. _____________________________ So, combination Akaname and Fingers with some Expunge and/or Burning synergy. Cannot wait to get these! Oh, Brewmaster, like Dylan said, "Times they are a changing!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonCheadle Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 I think you're in the wrong place friend. We don't serve Whiskey in this establishment, though we do have some fine sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesy Blue Posted March 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 No, though rarely played, Brewmaster is Ten Thunders still, and it's the only way I play him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukemouse Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 There is a slight possibility they won't be tri-chi. Worth keeping in mind that just because a model is good for brewmaster won't make it available in thunders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesy Blue Posted March 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Man, if they can't be summoned by Sandeep and they can't be used in Ten Thunders, why in the world have them in this multi faction encounter box? did Hoffman go on a drunken bender one weakened? did Laviticus get tired of Alice whining about nothing to drink around here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukemouse Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Story purposes? Plus the multi factions are arcanist and gremlins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haagrum Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Ten Thunders are already getting the Undying box models. I don't see why the Backdraft Gremlins need to be Tri-Chi, even the Whiskey Gamin. Gremlin Brewmaster needed a bit of a boost, and hopefully this provides a solid reason to run a Poison-synergy crew.

DonCheadle Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 I think it's more likely they will than won't, I made my original post because I believed Jesy Blue to have mistakenly posted it here instead of in announcements. Apologies for derailing the conversation, I would expect them to do Gamin things with poison, but in a different way from Poison Gamin.

Nukemouse Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Honestly I am much more hoping popcorn turner and/or his apprentice as tri chi. If Induction and not poison damaging my own models is available to brewmaster in gremlins but not TT i will never play him in TT again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesy Blue Posted March 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 That may be the way it goes, but I'm gonna hold out hope for more Tri Chi models when I take Ten Thunders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesy Blue Posted July 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Good News..... all the Gremlins models in Backdraft are Tri-Chi! But the bad news is The Brewmaster is no longer Ten Thunders... at least I can import my fermented monks to the Bayou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"No longer"... as in when third edition is released which might well be a year from now. But yeah if you're strictly a TT player I wouldn't suggest buying the Brewie box now without a caveat.
