Wyrd Summons 'The Other Side' Releases for March

Wyrd Games is continuing its focus on new releases for The Other Side, their large-scale miniature combat game set in the Malifaux universe.

March sees four new releases coming to The Other Side, including some very nasty looking shark dudes!

THE FRENZY

On the tabletop, the Frenzy benefits immensely from being a Squad. Most importantly, they can Reinforce if they lose members, which gives them a greater capacity to survive incoming attacks than most Commanders. Each Frenzy operates independently, though they must still adhere to the 8" distance limiter. This means that the Frenzy gets three Actions from an Order in addition to their one Morale Action, which can be quite deadly, given the strength of the Tear Apart Action. Even if the Frenzy is uninjured, it can still use Reinforcement Tokens to make extra attacks. This makes the Frenzy a very "lead from the front" Commander.

From a game perspective, the Frenzy brings a lot of punch to the table. Sculpt wise, these vicious predators look fantastic, and would make great monsters for Through the Breach role playing sessions. The models come pre-assembled, too, which is great news to anyone who has put together a Malifaux miniature!

CROW RUNNERS

Most Abyssinians who serve in the military spend at least a portion of their enlistment as Crow Runners. Crow Runners make up a significant portion of the Abyssinian army's vanguard, but they also serve as scouts and infiltrators. They are competent skirmishers, taking advantage of their lightweight armor to engage and disengage at will. In combat, Crow Runners focus on disrupting their foes to weaken them before the main Abyssinian forces hit.

These new forces for Abyssinia are packed full of character, and will make great miniatures for any steam punk setting. I know I keep bringing up other, non The Other Side uses for these figures, but they look cool and I keep getting excited about all the ways they can be used!

FENTON BRAHMS

Fenton Brahms, once a soldier of the King's Empire, was found left for dead in the desert. During the months he spent recovering, he was given the Contiones de Rege Flammae as a means to cope with the pain. When the rest of the world felt like a cruel joke, Brahms found comfort in the book; Ephraim Wade's prophecies gave meaning to his life. Unbeknownst to him, Brahms was being warped by every word.

Brahms traveled to London after seeing a vision, where he was greeted by the beauty of Wade's predictions – of a world wreathed in flame. There, Fenton Brahms embraced the warmth of the Burning Man and found his purpose: to lead the purge, and to make the world beautiful once again.

Another great looking model, Fenton excels in either leadership roles, or as a massive melee threat.

MARGARET BELLE

Margaret Belle is an assassin for the King's Empire faction, and can teleport in battle. She's also a pre-assmbled model, so all of those whirls of energy around her are already in place out of the box, which is seriously great news!

All of these releases for The Other Side can be pre-ordered now from your favorite game store!
