Will you harness the power of the Great Spirit?
Awesome!! Been following it since first edition and have to say that i love all the changes done in 2nd edition. I love Warrior Nation. Walks Looking is a bad ass.
I don’t know much about WWX. Really looking forward to learning more about this game.
I must say that elk looks epic!
From the earliest days of Wild West Exodus I have always been looking at the Warrior Nation, even more so when the “Dark” Nation was annnounced, Ive yet to see a game played in my local area would be great to get it up and going
I’ve Been looking forward to this wwx week starting. Hopefully some spoilers no ones seen pop up.
I’m pretty excited to see all of the new things. I held off getting into the game earlier because of the beta tests that I saw happening. A little worried that it would change the game too much in a bad way.
Lots of new things in WWX, hold on for a great week of videos! Head over to the Facebook group “The Dark Council” for more WWX stuff! Plenty of pics and chats!
Liking the look of the faction overall and walks looking in particular. Can’t wait for the other chats coming up this week.
I’m loving collecting the Warrior Nation – really looking forward to Raven Spirit’s posse and other native peoples joining the fray.
Nice breakdown on the bosses. If it follows the same format, I can’t wait for the Hex video!
I cant wait to play this game.
I’ve liked what I’ve seen so far in the facebook group, I’ve been looking forward to this theme week so I can really see where the game is heading.
I’m liking the look of the Warrior Nation, though both my daughters are currently playing with this faction.
I loved the set ups for Wild West Exodus @ Gencon and loved their promo figure as welll!!! I can’t actually decide on a faction so don’t pick me (just kiddin’!) =p… love ’em all…
Guys you need to work on some better names for the Warrior Nation leaders they sound so generic.
Difficulty is that if we used actual tribal words but then players might struggle with the pronounciation. Walks Looking might be fairly generic, but there was a real woman called Walks Looking too that this character is a nod to.
They used to have several historical names among them, but the new ownership has changed that. Personally Iiked the historical names, but my opinion means little in the course of things.
A very, very good start of WWX week. Thumbs up.
I’d love to play the game (never did 🙁
Ain’t the “Dark Nation” faction around no more?
The Dark Nation still exist but are now part of The Hex.
Thanks.
If they’re anything like their 1.0 versions, don’t let their characters get into cc with you. It won’t end well!
I’ve got my second edition rule book ready.
Haven’t chosen a faction yet, so these videos will help me to decide hopefully!
This one has me curious. I quite like this mystic indian angle for these guys but looking forward to seeing what else is out there!
Love the spirit theme, but there are so many cool factions to choose from.
Wondering if those spirit totems will be translucent plastic or regular
As a long term Outlaw faction player I’m looking to start a new fraction with 2nd edition at the moment it’s between these guys and the enlightened both have so many great sculpts
Going by what they said, would we maybe see some other indigenous people represented with models, for battles taking place in other parts of the world? I know the game is called Wild West Exodus, but that the world is a big place.
They’ve stated they’ll be releasing stuff from other parts of the world. I believe there will be a British faction as well as an Oriental one. Kind of think they should have changed the name of the game as it’s clear they plan on ditching the “old west” focus.
No, Wild West Exodus will absolutely just be about the American Frontier. But you can’t pretend the rest of the world doesn’t exist. If we were to do a game with the British, French, Ruissians etc in it we would call it something else. Though its worth mentioning that without the Chinese there wouldn’t have been an old west as we knew it…
I was very close to picking up the first edition last year but with the change if hands I held off. Im really glad to see what warcradle have done with it so far, it looks really interesting. The lets play the other day was really good and already has me sold. I always fanced moving into american civil war stuff and essentially thats this but with sci-fi fantasy elements too, and you cant go wrong there. As for the warrior nation, Im not sure yet,, I love the idea of the big spirit animals and those actual spirits will… Read more »
Just one issue with this game. Every time they mention a faction I want in. Guess I’ll just have to go in big. If only there was some way for us to win a faction starter. 😉
Great looking faction, I know the Warrior Nation is my missus favourite.
This is a great looking faction.
