The Other Side

The Army sized Wargame by Wyrd Games set in the same Universe as Malifaux. It currently is being Kickstarted as of Dec 2016

Hello from The Other Side

The Other Side is an upcoming game about allegiances doing battle across the Earth in a fight for supremacy and survival. Using 32mm miniatures, players will control squads of troops and massive titans as they attempt to defeat their foes and seize control of Earth.. Conflict is resolved through the use of a deck of cards, allowing players more control over their own destinies. The Other Side shares a world with Malifaux, but the games are not compatible.

Setting

The Other Side takes place in the same universe as Malifaux, but instead of being in the dreamscape-esque world of Malifaux it is set Earth-side. Instead of focusing on small groups of Penny Dreadful characters the story revolves around four different factions as they fight a World War.

King's Empire

"The world is in chaos. The Guild’s losing its grip and the Empire is resurgent. Now is the time to strike and take our nation to its proper place on the world stage."
-Margaret Belle

The British faction. They are what's left of the British Empire after the Guild stepped in and basically took power. Now that the Guild has lost power Earth-side the Empire is seeking to make a comeback. From the Kickstarter images they get one big mecha called the King's Hand and a lot of their infantry are riflemen.

Abyssinia

"My people see the value of honoring the past and chasing the future. Soulstones let us use that which came before to move into that which will be."
-Prince Unathi

The Ethiopian faction. Apparently in the history of Malifaux there were breaches that led to Africa before the first Breach was opened and the people of Abyssinia took advantage. They are probably the most technologically advanced faction as far as the four factions are concerned.

Cult of the Burning Man

"No longer shall the vestiges of a fallen civilization hold us back. We have seen the face of freedom! The Burning Man comes to free us all. His fire shall purify the righteous and burn the unworthy!"
-Raving Madman The Cultist faction. The main event that kickstarted their rise to power was when the Burning Man appeared. When the Burning Man set fire to London apparently a lot of people began worshiping him as a deity.

Gibbering Hordes

"We were driven from the land and into the ocean, and we were taken from the ocean and forced to this world. Here we shall be like the tide and the storm, and we shall claim the Earth for Meridion."
-The Stormsiren The Cthulhu faction. Originally these creates were on Malifaux and were banished to the oceans of Malifaux. For some reason they were able to get onto Earth through Breaches. As a result they are leading an angry hunger fueled desolation of the world. While most of the race seem to be mindless animals they are apparently led by more intelligent Gibbering Hordes creatures, like the Stormsiren.
