This will give you everything you need to get started playing the game so let us know which faction you'll be vying for!
Would you attempt to wield the might of an Umber King Scarab?
Very wicked models in this faction!
Not my choice of faction but sill very cool. Keep it comming. We want more!
I have to admit i’m not overly keen on these guys I love the whole weird wild west theme and these guys take me out of that a bit
It’s good to see the watchers move away from the Gray aliens to a more mixed group
oooh the greys, very nice
I must admit that when I first saw these models I had the same reaction as Lloyd – I figured these would be cool if I ever wanted to do X-Com on the tabletop. Of course, since then I’ve picked up the WWX rulebook and read up on the faction as a whole, and now I could totally see me using them in the game for which they were intended!
I’m really liking the idea of the Watchers, and the models are so useful in other games as well.
Now then, watchers…. Im absolutely in love with these guys. The fact the mimics allow me to take other models is an absolutely awesome idea!
I love the look of all their troops too, theyre exactly what I would think of a group of aliens coming down to earth to ‘fix’ things. The greys are a massive seller for me, ‘proper’ traditional looking aliens. I cant see a reason why I wouldnt go for this faction at the moment, theyre almost space police making sure no one breaks the prime directive! Definitely one for me!
Quite nice looking but I doubt this’d be the faction for me.
Now I want to get these guys. Sneaky Mimics pretending to be some rough and tumble outlaws, then suddenly a giant beast from between worlds rips the enemy heads off. Yes please!
I really like the different claves.
Love this faction, especially some of the new mini’s they were showing at gen con
Those watchers looks nice, i think i would make an force just of greys, really love small guys 🙂
Least favorite faction in the 2nd KS…but the theme is growing on me….
Definitely my faction of choice! The Umber Scarabs especially are interesting models, and the lore of the Watchers is so rich – really looking forward to getting my hands on these minis! Also, are there plans to still release the rumored crystalline indigos?
I have to agree with Loyd that the Grey are intersting models.
However I’m not certain, if aliens feel right in this setting.
Then again I don’t know a lot about WW Exouds as if yet.
These guys are interesting. Goodguys that play with DNA. What could go wrong?
I’m definitely in the camp that whilst the minis look pretty damn awesome, the other factions just look even better. Loving the look of the Lawmen and the Enlightened. Looking forward to the rest of the week.
Definitely warmed to the Watcher faction.
I was really wanting these on the KS. I just couldn’t afford it at the time. I should have went with these instead.
Probably won’t be my faction but I like the overall concept of the Watchers and why they are getting involved in this setting. I think the clades are a little too diverse for my tastes perhaps but that might change when I see them in action. I think having the greys cropping up is cool!
I always thought the inclusion of this faction in v1 was odd, but v2 lore rework seems to have created a better backstory for inclusion. I also like the combination of new aliens and the classic Grey.
Video really brought me round to the Watchers way of thinking.
Great variety in this faction that I was not expecting. Not my thing, but very cool.
Not sue that i actually like the greys
