Popular Post Kyle Posted February 24, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Hey Wyrdos, Last week, we revealed the release window for our highly anticipated beat’em up racing game, Bayou Bash (for those who missed it – it’s June of this year! Really!). As many of you might have noticed in last week’s announcement, Bayou Bash now has custom meeples to represent the racers in the game instead of miniatures, which we’ve shown off in the past at conventions. At its heart, Bayou Bash is a light and chaotic racing game that takes about an hour to play. Players will bash their opponents (and their fans!) onto rocks, into pools of water, and off the track. Because of the physicality, speed, and lightheartedness of the game, we wanted to make sure that players of all types could enjoy the game without having to pay for the extra cost of miniatures. But what if you really want those miniatures? Well, today, we have some exciting news! The Malifaux Bayou Starter Box will come with the 4 characters from the Bayou Bash board game, and will be compatible with both Malifaux and Bayou Bash! In addition to the miniatures and stat cards, the Bayou Starter will also come with its own Bayou-themed Fate Deck and measuring widget. (For reference, the miniatures and meeples are both to scale to each other in each image) Let’s take a look at Fluffernutter, the Rabbit, and how he and his jockey will play in both Malifaux and Bayou Bash. In Malifaux, all of the Bayou Starter models will have the Jockey keyword, another keyword in the Faction (in this case, Wizz-Bang), and the Versatile characteristic, which will allow for a ton of flexibility in crewbuilding. Fluffernutter is a fast-moving, Evasive Enforcer with a few tricks up his sleeve (particularly his Pulled from a Hat and Magic Act triggers!). And in Bayou Bash, the Rabbit will cause all sorts of havoc to those around him. He’ll make sure that even the most sure-footed of racers will stagger into unexpected places while bolting toward the finish line. Bayou Bash the board game will be hitting store shelves in June, and the Malifaux Bayou Starter Box will be available in the following month. We’ll have more news about Bayou Bash and the Malifaux Bayou Starter Box as we get closer to their releases! 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinChan Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Amazing model, cool rules, better name! I'm missing the Gremlin family riding the silurid, that was my favorite. Please tell me that it's still coming at some point! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, since there's an official crosswalk, will the malifaux maps be updated with a racetrack in the bayou???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEV Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 This rabbit rider is pretty much a 6ss missile... He shouldn't survive long but he can spread some damage on the middle of the oponent crew. On a charge you have the damage from stampede + the attack + rampage (guarantee from ramming speed) + the bonus. It seems decent to me and he should, most of the time, be able to trade for at least an event amount of SS... Once in a while we can even kill something (or multiple things) without even having to do a single duel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trample Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 So, Stumpy in Swampfiend? Ruffles in Tricksy? Bo Peep in Big Hat (maybe Infamous - the pig does have a peg leg after all)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the tick Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 If this is a starter set will there be a Henchman to act as a leader? The 3D renders look good! But seriously, Wyrd, please make this trend of preassembled short lived and give us these models in plastic. Again, love the renders but please let me do my own assembly. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, pig makes way more sense, and I mixed up Big Hat and Sooey anyway! You can tell I don't play bayou! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, one of those is a Henchman. I'm guessing Ruffles. 10 hours ago, the tick said: The 3D renders look good! But seriously, Wyrd, please make this trend of preassembled short lived and give us these models in plastic. Again, love the renders but please let me do my own assembly. Yes. These would've been absolutely stunningly amazing in HIPS! Like crazy good. But they are also really complex so cleaning up the PVC is going to be an utter nightmare, not to mention the softened details and such. A massive, massive shame - these could've been some of the very best Bayou models ever. As for the stats - I'm not super impressed. Super squishy with self-damage - doesn't seem all that good to me. Charge is juicy, though, not doubt. Still, a clear disappointment after oogling all the Society stats Also, this won't save Wizz-Bang. And I do realize that this kinda sounds negative so I wish to stress once more how much I love those renders. Absolutely superb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I should follow suit with your last comment as well. Love the renders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
