Horsemen of the Apocalypse Ride on Wild West Exodus
February 27, 2014 by dracs
A bunch of new concept sketches are appearing for the game of Wild West Exodus, concept sketches that might just signal the end for all of us as these show the Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
These sinister riders spread the evil of the Dark Council throughout the war torn territories of the western frontier. They definitely look the part, bringing the iconic appearance of these harbingers of doom and giving them the twisted, mechanical style of Wild West Exodus.
Are you playing Wild West Exodus? Can you tell us anything about these horsemen and the mysterious Dark Council?
I really want to like this stuff. My main stumbling block as just been really their pricing levels. I keep watching their range grow and thinking that’s cool! Then I proceed to drop money on other games … maybe someday I’ll take the plunge but I just really don’t like supporting the entire industry raising prices to be in line with GW. That said I know their small, I know it costs alot to get things started, I know that there are many expenses running a business, etc. I just don’t know if I could pull anyone else in my… Read more »
I took the plunge, and I like the minis, but I do see where you are coming from. At first, I didn’t really like the look of the iron horses, but then I saw Sky Spirit and took a serious second look. I like the style for the most part, but I think the story is what intrigues me more. If I lived closer to my dad and didn’t work all the time I think we could really bond over this game.
To call Wild West Exodus miniatures “Soul-les 3D CAD Shite” tells me that you have not seen them in person. I backed the kickstarter and I can tell you that they are far from soul-less. The details are amazing!! The poses are dynamic, and the quality of the plastics and resin is second to none. These miniatures are some of the best on the market. And if you do a price comparison of Wild West Exodus to other skirmish games you would find that it is not the most expensive to get into or to continue to play. I know… Read more »

Going to be trying the game out at my friend’s house this weekend. If I enjoy the gameplay I’ll be taking the plunge. The aesthetic is a little hard to wrap my head around at times but the detail is amazing on these minis. Whether a model is CAD or hand-sculpted means nothing to me….the end result is what matters. I’ve seen both amazing and horrible examples of both. I’ve been in a bit of a gaming funk recently. With the exception of Bushido I haven’t been able to get really excited about playing any other game. I was loving… Read more »
like I said before to you in an earlier post its only $70(£48) for a starter set that’s hardly expensive but best is the 2 team starter kit($130-£89) which also has the rules dice and token set in it. as for the models themselves they are top notch
Have infection will travel.
He’s stalling. He’s spotted us for what we are: a bunch of mean
macho bad ass desperados. We’re going to kick his boney butt clean
across the town. Enjoy the show. Who’s got
the guts to go with me one on one, hand to hand, mano et mano?
If only to keep quoting this is worth it 😀
In my opinion, the all time best episode
I agree the mini’s are in the upper end of the price bracket @lordofexcess but they are very good. Very little clean up work, and some supreme detail, down to the stich line in the pants if you care to paint it…. The poses are great, but they lack the flexibility of other manufacturers, changing positions and weapons of the miniature requires a large degree of cutting, pinning, greenstuff and skill. You only need a small amount of mini’s for a possie so the pricing is not that bad, but the Microart Scenery is very disappointing. Not even close to… Read more »
I agree with a lot of what @lordofexcess says, these miniatures don’t do it for. I just don’t like their aesthetic but, that’s should be ok. We don’t all like the same things right? It’s shame that someone decided to give the poor fella the thumbs down just for having an opinion.
Loving the looks of these bosses. The Warrior Nation themed horseman does it most for me as it looks super raw and aggressive. The horseman on the light support vehicle shooting the arrow is also a great concept but for the opposite reasons. I could see a lot of conversion work being possible to the bike, which makes my happy. 😀
