Popular Post Nef Posted March 9, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Happy Monday Wyrdos! We are taking a look at the other part of the Gremlins in the Backdraft Encounter box with Popcorn Turner and Cooper Jones. Take a peek! Popcorn Turner and his assistant, Cooper Jones, are prominent brewers in the southern Bayou. Popcorn brings the potent Induction ability into the Gremlin faction, increasing the damage that nearby enemies suffer from Poison by +2. Better yet, he protects friendly models from suffering Poison damage, making all of those Tri-Chi models that gain Poison while healing themselves all the more effective at staying on the table. As if Popcorn weren't borrowing enough from McMourning's playbook, he can also force models to immediately suffer damage equal to their Poison Condition, up to a maximum of five damage. When combined with the ability to light enemy models on fire and discard scheme markers to self-heal, this makes Popcorn Turner a very potent ally for the Brewmaster. Cooper Jones, meanwhile, is capable of putting a good deal of Poison onto enemies, which supports her boss quite well. Her obsession with barrels allows her to break down scheme markers to heal nearby Constructs, or she can just hide inside of a barrel to increase her Armor. Better yet, if she gets a few drinks into her, she can turn scheme markers into Whiskey Gamin... without spending a single Action. Plus, just look at that awesome blowtorch! This dynamic duo is sure to be a hit at parties, firework conventions, and in just about any Gremlin crew that enjoys a few good drinks. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming it's actually Induction, then yes it would absolutely stack. As I recall, Barkeep never sleeps changed over the course of the beta from Induction to his new Alcohol Poisoning (which does the same thing but specifically doesn't stack) so I'd be shocked if this ends up being for real Induction and not Alcohol Poisoning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tick Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Love that Cooper's hair is smoldering in places! Also really hoping for some Trip Chi keywords with these guys/gals/gamin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saduhem Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I have to admit that I'm a little sad for Mcmourning when people steal his shtick. But I guess after 5 books you're bound to see mechanics used across more models. The artwork looks great :} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I'm liking the sound of these a lot and the designs look aesthetically fine. I do think that Popcorn could look a bit more distinctive (now he looks basically like a Bayou Gremlin on top of a barrel) as he certainly sounds quite extraordinary. He does look rather receptive to conversions so maybe there's something that could be done but I'm not off the bat quite sure what. The rules sound very fun and like they would give Brewie the boost he needs. Looking forward to these most eagerly! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add to Clement's list, there's also two of the Banjonistas and probably someone I'm forgetting - beards aren't common but they aren't super rare either. And even if they were really rare, it still IMO doesn't make the mini stand out much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodtest Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Oops, I mistook the one holding gas for Popcorn Turner. Cooper Jones is much more conspicuous than her Boss. Brewmaster and Zipp are the most benefited from Backdraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
