Wild West Exodus 2nd Edition Announced For September
March 29, 2017 by brennon
Warcradle announced this week that the 2nd Edition of Wild West Exodus is going to be coming to the tabletop on 30th September 2017!
Here's what they had to say on the announcement...
“If you see the President, tell him from me that whatever happens there will be no turning back.”
General Odysseus Grant, Battle of Bradshaw City 1872
"A new logo for a new edition! Warcradle Studios are pleased to present the new logo for Wild West Exodus. This dark and exciting science-fantasy game will see a brand new edition released on 30th September 2017.
The world of Wild West Exodus is a dark reflection of our own. Some of the events that defined our past never happened and the heroes we cherish never existed, while greater conflicts and bolder individuals have taken their place. It is a setting where forces from beyond our own world have a stake in the events that play out here, a millennia-old contest now fought on the soil of our Earth.
It is a place where a gunfighter can squeeze their trigger and change the fate of humanity; where warrior nations proudly stand against the relentless onslaught of so-called civilisation. It is a world where progress and scientific enlightenment has been embraced at the cost of mankind's soul and where the dreams of empire may be fanned into the flames of conflict once more.
We love reasons to collect and play with miniatures. We have a host of new plastic and resin miniatures in production as well as a wealth of new background material detailing the struggle for the destiny of humanity played out in the Wild West and beyond.
Those hobbyists looking to get into Wild West Exodus and those retailers looking to stock it can rest assured that we will be providing complimentary copies of the new rules for free to all those who have purchased a copy of the first edition from their retailer, distributor or from wildwestexodus.com. So you can jump aboard with Wild West Exodus right now and have no worries about being forced to buy new rules in six months’ time (as hobbyists, we hate that too!)
All the existing miniatures are being retained in the new edition so you can make use of the whole range. We will announce details of our expanding range of new products as well as details of how to get hold of your copy of the new rules over the coming months."
It sounds great that we'll be getting awesome support for this game going forward and the characters and factions of Wild West Exodus will continue to grow. As we've been seeing they really have been doing a great job on some of the new miniatures so let's hope we get more of that!
Will you be checking out the new edition in September?

Great. Hopefully this time they’ll proof-read the fluff…
it will be MUCH better proof read, however they now use Brtitish spelling for everything 🙂
Thats a pretty big commitment to replace all the books. How will they handle it I wonder?
They haven’t committed to any particular format yet, so it could just be a PDF (though they do seem to be willing to put money into the game so who knows). My hope is a “mini-rulebook” of some sort, at the least.
Very excited for this and the fact I’ve done some of the artwork has no bearing on this at all
Can’t repeat what I said when I read this articles header as I’ve just brought the rule book. But then read that I’ll get the free update, well I’m impressed and a very happy bunny.
This is indeed happy news! Must save up for new rulebook.
I love this setting and game…. Good to see it is receiving the continued support that it deserves.
It’s cool that there is a new version coming – it will be interesting to see whether the change of team has impacted on the feel of the game.
Still have yet to get a proper game in of WWX (beyond a couple of demos, which I really enjoyed!)… Maybe the new edition will give me the inspiration to crack on painting the rest of my Warrior Nation!? 🙂
Really loving the game, most of the models (not so fond of most Aliens…some are cool though) and the fluff is great. Hope that they pick up with the books after getting the new edition out….oh…and looking forward to see what changes will come 🙂
Bought the starter box a few weeks ago. Really liking the miniatures (well, besides the watchers faction) will be interesting to see where war cradle take this game, hopefully we will get a few new factions.
I think we will in the future. Plus, i believe the existing factions have undergone somewhat of a reshuffle as well.
Love the mini’s, love the setting, i just couldn’t get anyone to play at my flgc. Fingers ( and everything else ) crossed that when 2nd ed drops it opens at least some of my friends eyes and they get into WWX.
