Hello, Monsterpocalypse fans,

At the beginning of the year, we updated five of our buildings. You can find more about that here in this insider:

We’ve also introduced two new buildings so far in 2023. As you likely remember, the first was Fort Ironwood, the Faction Base for the Green Fury. And the other building is the Waste’s Faction Base, the Toxic Waste Depot, which I’ll tell you more about a little later in this Insider. Because as excited as you may be to hear about the Toxic Waste Depot, we want to first talk about the new unit coming in March for the Waste.

Well, are you ready to get Wasted?

This unit is a gurgling font of radioactive slag. Hotter than white phosphorus, this molten puddle of metal is Fire Proof, granting the Faction (looking at you, Slingooze) a unit that can stand on a hazard. Everything—and I mean EVERYTHING—the Charghoul touches instantly becomes scorched. This Ghoul’s Char ability (see what I did there) is a static –1 DEF to every model adjacent to it—friendly, enemy, or otherwise. Think very carefully before screening your monster with a Charghoul. This unit definitely does not belong securing your power base.

In this Waste unit pack, the Miasmist weighs in as both the assassin of the Faction and the Faction’s switchblade tech piece. At SPD 7, DEF 3, with Flight, High Mobility, and an excellent RNG 4 blast attack, this unit is worth its cost 2. On its 2/2 blast attack it’s also packing Energy Sap for those games when you want to really harass your opponent’s resources or that important moment when you need to shift tempo back in your favor. Since it may be hanging out harassing monsters, the Miasmist also has Drain Life, which prevents enemy monsters from restoring health while adjacent to the unit. As if that weren’t enough, these noxious rolling nimbus packs have a built-in Countermeasure. Each enemy unit within two spaces of the Miasmist can’t have its stats increased higher than the numbers printed on its card. Collectively, this stacks up into quite the denial harrier. When combined with the Charghoul, these units can add some sickening fun to your most toxic lists.

I promised that there would be a building, and I’m here to make good on that promise. The Toxic Waste Depot has two key rules to bear in mind. First is its Action: Metastasize. This action allows you to place a 1-cost unit from your reserves adjacent to a unit from the same Faction that you control. You can only activate this ability on your unit turn, but it can allow you to use your own units as a spawn point for other Faction units. To deepen the lines of denial within the Waste Faction, we also added the rule No Fly Zone, which prevents models from moving through it. (This does not prevent rampages that smash through the building.) And the cherry on top of this disgusting pile of sludge is that with more Waste units, the Waste base discount will be that much better.

Well, everyone, that’s it for this Insider. Now don’t Waste any more time—go Waste your opponents!
