The first wave of kits and the rulebook for Wyrd Miniatures upcoming The Other Side tabletop miniatures game have been revealed.  The new series is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter and is scheduled to release at the end of 2017.

Originally announced back in August (see “Wyrd Goes to the ‘Other Side’”), The Other Side is a miniatures-based wargame set in the twisted steampunk world of Wyrd’s Malifaux.  Using a streamlined rules system, it is intended for larger-scale battles fought between small units mounted on special unit bases that allow a number of models to be moved together.

The first wave of products will include a hardcover Core Rulebook and four Allegiance Boxes, one for each of the games four factions:  King’s Empire, Abyssinia, the Gibbering Hordes, and Cult of the Burning Man.  Each Allegiance Box includes one commander and three squads from that faction, tokens, cards, and a measuring tape. 

The Core Rulebook will have a $60.00 MSRP, while Allegiance Boxes will be MSRP $125.00.

Players can expand their forces with the addition of larger “Titan” models, MSRP $90.00.  Additional squads of miniatures will also be available at MSRP $50.00 to $55.00.

Fate Decks will also be available separately.  MSRP is $12.00 or $15.00 with a deck box.

Wyrd Miniatures is funding the project through a Kickstarter campaign which broke the $150,000 mark in the first day.  The campaign includes a special brick-and-mortar-retailer-only pledge package, which includes a demo set of two Allegiance Boxes and access to limited edition miniatures and promotional items available only to backers of The Other Side Kickstarter.  Backer fulfillment is planned for December 2017 with release into the trade to follow.
