Wild West Exodus Week: The Hex Faction Guide
October 4, 2017 by dignity
The Hex is the root and the beginning of the changes in the world of Wild West Exodus. As the Hex has been driven from world to world by the Order trying to destroy every piece of the Hex, it's now seeking its own families within Earth to become a stronger and better version of itself.
Chris and Stu from Warcradle discuss the backstory and gameplay style of this alien collective, as well as introducing us to a few of the Bosses, Faces and Hands that will be at your disposal.

Are you aware of the Hex?
That large figure is awesome! I would love him just for display on my shelf. As for the game, the Hex are some interesting bad guys. Big bad and can use magic as well. They seem very fordable to play against. I would love to understand how the tainted and mind control mechanic would work within the game.
Would love to get hex
Perfect upload time, just in time for my lunch break! I like the idea that the Hex doesnt really know its doing bad things and its just trying to excist. Makes me look at the order differently too. That wendigo (did I speell it right?) is absolutely awesome, i think that even if I dont go for this faction I have to have one of those. That wierd looking medusa (little mermaid) thing is horrid, I couldnt have that in the gouse as it would give me nightmares!! The taint is an interesting concept as you could take pretty much… Read more »
Hmmmm, they look interesting, too!
I agree with Justin, not what I was expecting. A clever back story has stopped them becoming wild west chaos figures and made them something different. Evil looking “goodies” could be very interesting. And as you are devouring your opponents you can think to yourself I’m not bad I was just made this way! Can’t wait to see more models for them
Wild West Phoenix Force? Sold! Loving that Wendigo and the hex beasts. Not sure which Boss I’d like though – they all satisfy my need for Gribbly Monsters 😀
As for units coming back – Undead Legionnaires in Warzone. There are some nasty Dark Legion weapons and spells that will do that to your guys!
Oh the Lore for these guys is so rich it has to be fattening! I love it! It is everything I thought Chaos should have been in Warhammer but so much more. And the Hex beasts, I remeber seeing a promo model shown on here a while ago and I absolutly loved it, and seeing these other hex beast designs is a real treat. Hex and Warrior nation are my top faves at the moment, though I do feel I will be getting pretty much everything! So much lore and detail into each faction, none of them feels tacked on… Read more »
Will be interesting to see how they have developed from the original addition, where they were mentioned a lot but sort of were in the shadows.
The down trodden and dispossed are targetted by the Hex???? Sheez Warzan better hope it doesn’t come knocking on Justin or John’s door. An intersting idea, I don’t think thios is my faction but it does have some appeal….which I wasn’t expecting ….. I don’t think it’s my fsction …. but ………..
Was wondering how they were going to incorporate the Dark Nation into the game, Hex are a very interesting faction.
I know I keep repeating myself, but this game has so many interesting and very varied factions. So many fun and strange fights to be had.
Ugly bunch of freaks aren’t they. Power corrupts… look at most heads of state for proof of that.
Interesting way of showing Hex. But for me they always will be nasty evil twisted creatures. Untill Warrior Nation will take care of them that is. 🙂
The Dark Nation idea had my idea back during the Kickstarter but I could never have imagined how deeply and thoroughly it would be developed as part of “The Hex” easily the most excitingly original idea in gaming.
Not sure about this faction
Love it! I’m totally sold on the Hex. Love the idea of humans corrupting the Hex rather than the other way round. Gives them a pathos you don’t see in other “evil” type factions. I’m in.
Going to be fun times! Hex are my chosen faction 🙂
Okay, so there hasn’t been a faction I have disliked yet which is worrying and you haven’t even covered my favourite faction yet. Stop now!
So, RJ-1027 equals Hex poop?
The call it Essence. But basically when the prospectors called RJ 1027 Demon Blood, they weren’t far wrong…
Not so sold on these guys.
Looking to play some of the dark Nation
Love what they have done with this faction, I am really liking how they have rearranged the faction in this game. Going to have to pick a few of theses minis up just to paint
Wow getting that Malifaux vibe with the hex. thing that got bump in the night LOL
dark nation and confederates sorted
the best lore of the factions so far I think, especially withe the hex-beast mechanics. I would love to do a carcosa themed force. That wendigo is expensive though!
