Spellcrow Barrel Out Some Hazardous Materials

August 18, 2016 by dracs

Spellcrow are going to release a new set of terrain barrels, each designed to contain a different sort of dangerous substance. Be careful where you aim those laser rifles.

These barrels will be released on Friday as a set of six, which I assume will give you two of each type of barrel. One is for oil, another for radioactive material and the third for what Spellcrow has only called "dangerous material." Not ominous at all.

Littering a battlefield with barrels is a popular way to provide some soft cover and break up open spaces. However, the fact that these three are made to hold different substances means they would be useful objective markers, or could have some cool scenario effects. After all, we all know what happens when you shoot a barrel in a video game.

What rules would you make for these in a scenario?
