Wyrd Games has more previews for The Other Side and the upcoming Bayou Bash. Let’s check out the Speckled Crawlers and the Rooster Rider!
Wyrd Games has another The Other Side preview and this one focuses on the Speckled Crawlers. They occupy the lowest level of the Hordes’ food chain and are some of the most plentiful. They lurk in dark places, waiting for their prey to close enough to snatch up by clawed hands. On the table, they occupy two five monster fireteams and can be a pain to deal with when they flip to Glory and gain auto-Reinforcement Tokens. The weak basic attacks gain strength when they come into contact with terrain.

Speckled Crawlers, like their Barbed cousins, occupy the lowest level of the Hordes’ food pyramid. They are the most plentiful species, partially because of their incredible ability to adapt to their environment. Upon arriving on Earth, the Crawlers took to the land, tunnels, buildings, forests, and every other environment they came across. They lurk in many dark and unseen places, waiting for prey to come into reach of their clawed hands. While Speckled Crawlers are not strong by themselves, they more than make up for this with strength of numbers.
On the table, Speckled Crawlers occupy two five monster Fireteams. This makes them quite a tar pit, and their resilience is further bolstered once they flip to Glory and begin gaining automatic Reinforcement Tokens. Their basic melee attack is somewhat weak, but it becomes stronger if the Crawlers can get into contact with terrain (such as a conveniently placed Tide Pool).
Moving on to Bayou Bash, the latest preview features the Rooster Rider. Avoiding as many puns as possible, the Rooster is an extremely fast mount and hard to control. One of his abilities allows him to gain movement dice at the risk of staggering more often. This rooster will be a feather-brained rocket on the track or a crater off of it.

Whether he was too egg-cited from watching the mayhem of the race or accidentally found himself on the track and decided to wing it, the Rooster’s joined in on the chaos of the Bayou Bash and has been ruffling feathers ever since.
Running at beakneck speed down the track, riding this reckless Rooster is the nest best thing to being catapulted toward the finish line, and just about as challenging to control, too. His ability to kick it up a notch by gaining movement dice at the risk of staggering more often allows this bird-brain to fly by the competition, even if it might mean taking a dust bath off the track.
You won’t have to pull out any feathers in anticipation for much longer. The cluck is ticking until Bayou Bash is released this year!
