Wyrd Games has another preview for us for their upcoming new miniatures game The Other Side. Let’s take a look at the Barbed Crawlers!
Wyrd Games has another The Other Side preview and this one focuses on a creature from the Gibbering Hordes. The Barbed Crawlers at the bottom of the food chain and prone to mutation. The have swam in Malifaux’s oceans and now they roam the lands and seas to find a lair for their eggs and prey. The crawlers will be the only ranged unit of the Gibbering Hordes and are a great source of cannon fodder. Their barbs will auto-apply Pinned Tokens and, when in Glory, their barbs gain several very useful Triggers.
Barbed Crawlers
At the bottom of the Gibbering Hordes food chain lie the Crawlers. The second most common species (if they can be called a distinct species, given their penchant for mutation) are the Barbed Crawlers. In Malifaux’s oceans, these creatures swam in the shallows, launching toxic barbs from their bodies to kill their prey. Now they roam the lands and seas of Earth, looking for food and new lairs to lay their eggs.
On the table, Barbed Crawlers are one of the Gibbering Hordes’ only ranged units. Barbed Crawlers serve as a cheap source of ranged attacks and, when needed, cannon fodder. Their barbs aren’t very dangerous, but the automatic application of Pinned Tokens can assist in whittling down enemy forces. When in Glory, their barbs gain a number of very useful Triggers that allow them to fill multiple battlefield roles.
Be sure to head on over to the Wyrd Forums to discuss this new unit!
