Popular Post Kyle Posted July 14, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Hey Wyrdos, This week, we found (or rather, heard) Waldo’s latest hobby project: karaoke. While we’ve gotten over his song choices and vocal… capabilities, the worst part is his change in behavior. It’s always “mi, mi, mi, mi, mi.” So, while we look for some noise-canceling headphones, let’s take a look at some of the characters in the upcoming Starter Box for The Other Side, and what they’ll look like on the table for Malifaux! A while ago, we revealed the Gatling Gunners, an upcoming Guild unit that will be available in The Other Side’s Starter Box. You can find out what they’ll do (and look like!) on the 4x6 table in that Waldo’s Weekly, which can be found here. As you might already know, all of the characters (including the Gatling Gunners) in The Other Side’s Starter Box will include game cards for both The Other Side and Malifaux. You read that right: all of the models in The Other Side’s Starter Box will be compatible with Malifaux Third Edition. While we already showed what they’re capable of in a large scale skirmish, today we’re taking a look at how these Versatile Minions will be helping out the Guild in M3E. Gatling Gunners are usually deployed at the most dangerous parts of a conflict. Here, they can hold fast in fortifications while driving off enemy advances. While their endless supply of bullets can help keep just about any enemy at bay, the weight of their weapon of choice keeps them from tons of movement around the battlefield. Luckily, they provide a ton of help for only 6 Soulstones. Is your Guild crew hurting for some card draw, big guns, or both? The Gatling Gunner can fill those voids with ease with their Camaraderie Ability, and of course, their Gatling Gun Action. Thanks to their Covering Fire Ability, their “spray and pray” mentality can end up being a boon, even if they don’t manage to hit their target, as another friendly model will get a chance to Interact without having to worry about being engaged. They’ve got some defensive tech, as well, with their Dig the Trenches Tactical Action potentially protecting nearby friendlies from pesky gunlines. Let’s take a look at everything these heavy-hitters can offer by checking out their stat card: Joining them on both Earthside and Breachside battlefields are the Guild Mages. Like their stationary friends, the Guild Mages are Versatile models that can be slotted into any Guild Crew with ease. These fortunate ranks in the Guild have been provided a rare opportunity: to use magic. Well, under careful and scrutinizing watch after years of decorated and proven loyalty to the Guild, of course. Why are they crossing over from Earth to Malifaux? Sometimes, in order to fight fire, you’ve got to use fire yourself. On the Malifaux table, the Guild Mage will provide both some healing and enemy disruption. Their Ability, Glory of the Guild, will allow them to heal a nearby friendly model 1/2/3 if any nearby model discards a card. That’s pretty helpful when you have it paired with the Gatling Gunner’s Covering Fire! Their Bonus Action, Disillusion, will help reposition opponents up to their Move value, which can help get a model out from a corner and into a Gatling Gunner’s line of fire (not to mention another opportunity to heal with its Drain Magic Trigger)!. Thinking about adding the Guild Mage to your crew? Let’s take a look at their stat card! If you’re looking to get into The Other Side for the first time or are a Malifaux player looking to expand your Guild or Resurrectionist model list, The Other Side’s Starter Box is a great opportunity to do both! The Other Side Starter Box includes: Sonnia Criid 3 Guild Mages 6 Gatling Gunners Kirai Ankoku Ikiryo 9 Enslaved Spirits 3 Gwisin Tactics Tokens (and other tokens and Markers) 2 Fate Decks (1 Guild and 1 Court of Two) 2 Measuring Tapes TOS bases and fireteam bases Unit cards for The Other Side and stat cards for Malifaux A Quick Start Guide that will teach you how to play The Other Side in minutes You’ll be able to get your hands on this great deal soon! The Other Side Starter Box will be available at Gen Con and at local game stores shortly thereafter for just $100. We’ll have more news about some other releases that will be available for The Other Side at Gen Con soon! How do you plan on utilizing these characters in both games?
