About the Project

OnTableTop.com has very kindly sent me a copy of the new 2 Player Starter set for Wild West Exodus which is very cool of them, so lots of content coming up as I unbox, build, paint and play this over on Twitch and YouTube. I will be using my contrast method to get both forces painted up over the coming weeks and I am very much looking forward to it.

I decided to keep the forces equal so with the new 2 bike kit I built one for the Union and one for the Enlightened. The paint scheme is very simple but works for tabletop and means I can stay on top of the progression.

Both the Union and Enlightened will get to add another Iron/Eagle horse to their forces.

James and I walk through the very first scenarios from the campaign book, learning about moving, fighting and the various keywords and playing the cards.

This is slow and we go back and forth making mistakes and correcting them but it is all part of the learning.

I certainly have questions to ask about some of the rules.

The video no one asked for part 2... me reading the rules and trying to make sense

I was very tired when I finished last night so I thought with a new day I would take some tabletop pictures. Looking forward to putting the brushes down reading the rule book so we can play some games.

Again thanks for all the support.

So I have tried to capture almost every brush stroke, build, basing and process I have gone through for this project. Here is the last session from last night and I just want to say thank you to everyone who joins the streams and makes them so enjoyable, last night was a blast and a great way to cross the finish line.

Of course, we are not done the next job is to learn the game and start to play, I will hopefully live stream the games or make a battle report.

Thanks

Painting done and ready for battle
