Wayland Celebrate Ten Years With Anniversary Smith Set
September 3, 2018 by brennon
Wayland Games are celebrating ten years with a special Anniversary Wayland The Smith set for Wild West Exodus.
Here's some of the background on this character...
"Many a fireside tale includes the appearance of Wayland the Smith. Often such stories feature a desperate and lonely rider who suffers a malfunction with her Iron Horse or the machinery of a struggling mine fails and the town faces ruin. Wanting no reward, save for a silver dollar if it can be spared, this man of legend appears from the horizon and fixes the problem.
Before more than a thank you can be uttered, the stoic giant is on his way again, never staying in the same place for more than a night once his work is done. Wayland is an impressively large man with a strength as formidable as the steel with which he plies his trade. Often he lends a hand along with Panday Beck, his erstwhile assistant, who is seldom far from his side.
What the fates have in store for Wayland as he roams the Frontier, who can say? Certainly, while Wayland doesn’t go looking for trouble, his journey has taken him to some of the highest and lowest of company. Even the alien Watchers and scheming Hex and Order have had reason to be thankful for his intervention and assistance. Quite how this mysterious wanderer can aid such wildly differing factions is but one further mystery that adds to his legend."
The model is indeed rather cool and I like what they've gone for here. The triumphant pose is one that works well as a celebratory piece and you could easily see the model being incorporated into a diorama or vignette.
Pre-orders for this particular set are up for the next few days and will net you something special to include in a range of different factions from the Wild West Exodus world. Anything that ties back into the awesome mythology behind Smiths and the crafting of arms and armour is good in my book!
What do you make of the pair?
Congrats to Richard, Jem, Stu and the rest of the team @waylandgames for reaching a very cool milestone. Hard fought at times too. Well done gents 🙂
And the mini is cool too lol
Ooo nice liking the hammer man a lot.
Those two look great.WWX is a great game and i’ll be doing my best to get hold of Wayland and his friend.
Those are really nice.
Well since I have become a Warcradle/Wayland devotee since you gents featured WWX about this time last year, I feel I shall once again drop my “pants of financial responsibility” and get these two . They look awesome
….. and back… that was quick ….. *sigh* I am so easy …. *walks away with last shreds of self respect
‘Pants of Financial Responsibility’ are overrated.
They do stop people for staring however 🙂
