This week’s Wyrd Preview is all about backwoods moonshine running Gremlins as Wyrd Previews their new Story Encounter Box Let’s take a look at Backdraft!
Wyrd Games has finished up The Undying Previews and now they take us into moonshine flame throwing Gremlin shenanigans with the next big Story Encounter Box, Backdraft.
Unlike elemental Gamin, which are summoned by powerful magic spells and rituals, Whiskey Gamin are created by enterprising Gremlin artificers to carry their moonshine from one place to another. After the first few Whiskey Gamin disappeared into the swamp, the Gremlins started replacing their feet with wheels in order to make it more difficult for the little machines to run off with all their alcohol. When this made the Whiskey Gamin too cumbersome to escape predators (most notably, other Gremlins that wanted the moonshine they carried), the engineers replaced their arms with pump nozzles, allowing the Gamin to spray their attackers with the high proof (and very flammable) moonshine they carried.
This is Gremlin engineering at its finest, folks.
On the table, Whiskey Gamin are fast models that spread around (Alcohol) Poison(ing) and light inebriated models on fire. Like true Gamin, they explode when they are killed, showering everyone around them with moonshine.
This looks like a whiskey running, flame throwing, barrel splitting good time if we have ever seen one. Let us know what you think of this new announcement for Malifaux. We would love to hear your thoughts on this HOT new Story Encounter Box from Wyrd Games.
